- I'm not smart enough. You ask yourself this question?
There was a time in my life where I felt like I wasn't smart enough. There was a time when I didn't think I would be able to achieve one of my goals since high school.
The thing is if you believe that you are not smart enough. That becomes your identity. I here to tell you that you are.
I am just a random guy on TH-cam sharing my experiences. I understand times can get extremely tough and you need to understand that this is just a moment in time. If you feel at all that you need professional help, here is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255

I'm usually very talkative person but whenever people starts talking about anything related to study I starts freaking out because I feel that they know so much more about those things than I do. I feel frozen. It feels really stupid. How to overcome this?
@@riyadey5783 never feel like you should know it all because you can't. Instead, be your 5 year old self and ask why to the answers they give. Use it as an opprotunity to learn than having shame of not knowing.
It's like I can do things ok up to a point and then my mind messes up and I can't do anything. I'm 55 yrs and always had this problem. I can't support myself financially as my mind can't stay consistent and I read things wrong a lot. I don't feel like I'm a real person. I don't fit in anywhere.😔
I struggle with having confidence and with liking myself. I always compare myself to others and say that I’m too stupid for this or that I can’t do it.
Hey you know if you really really try hard you can maybe become the modern intellectual, the most cowardly people. Hide and just write, read and talk about things from a distance. You know, like Jordan Peterson. He has incredible ideas but rather lays down rules to sell to the masses on how to live life.
I can relate... i always looked down to myself and comparing myself with my sister.
well as soon as you say that to yourself you have no chance, if you want to do something get in to it and give it your all, good luck
i can relate to you...
@@digitalT83 Thanks. What a way to feel better
It's harder to believe in this, when you work endless hours, watch hundreds of videos on how to improve only to fail again and again...
I feel the same way! :(
Just start doing. What is it you're trying to change? We will never be "ready." Dive in and know its OK to fail. At least you're trying to change something.
You say you work endless hours. I ask you towards what. You say you watch hundreds of videos on how to improve. I ask you what exactly are you trying to improve. It doesn't matter how many hours you work or how many videos you watch if you have no direction. Find what is wrong and FIX IT. If you don't know what you are working to fix you will do NOTHING.

@@ShortGirl618 And have you succeeded yet? And what exactly is wrong with your writing style? Is too informal, do you make too many mistakes when writing or something else? English is not my native language either and I know that writing can be cumbersome but with time you start getting better at it but anyway. You are the one who knows your situation the best so figure something out and succeed if you haven't already.
i've chosen suicide when i'm 30. i'm very uncreative, no matter how hard i try, and I SUCK AT MATH! i'm basically worthless. and things are getting more competitive everyday. about ten to fifteen years ago, it became borderline mandatory that you needed to start having some computer skills (like programming) to get an entry level job. now, in addition to that, we are in the 'big data' era, so you need to have some data processing skills as well. it's bad enough that i'm stupid, but now the jobs keep wanting more and more. and they pay us all pennies but expect a million f_cking dollars worth of work! i'm so sick of it all. i cannot wait to die and be off this prison planet. life is only for those who are smart (good at math), relatively healthy, and creative. for everyone else (like me), it's so *not* worth it AT ALL! and to rub salt in the wound, we have to watch people like the kardashians who can't sing, act, write, dance, or even walk down a runway properly, make obscene amounts of money for god knows what! what were my parents thinking bringing me into this mess?! god, i hate being alive.
This was great. Self doubt and lack of confidence are things I've struggled with in the past.
Thank you :) I believe we all go through moments of self-doubt throughout our lives. Continuing to learn and gaining newfound confidence is what makes life exciting.
Did you overcome it? If yes then how?
How to overcome selfdoubt and lack of confidence
Currently, my school isn’t going well right now, so I can relate about what you are saying. But thank you for sharing your thoughts. Keep going with the good videos.
Believing in yourself can be hard. Keep your head up and know you will find a way :)
Hello luffy!!!
bye bye Hello :) I can see a luffy fan as well. Nice.
Hii you good?
For some time now, I’ve been doubting my intelligence. I feel like I haven’t learned much or that compared to students in my honors class I’m one of those who looks smart but actually isn’t. I have a great work ethic and I persevere to be the greatest I can. But I feel like lately, I’m not good enough. I’m not smart enough compared to everyone else. I always thought I was until I went to this math competition, boy, did I do bad. I was chosen along with a couple of other students to represent our school but I feel like at that time I finally got to see how “dumb” I really was. I am valedictorian this year and I received one award from a class. However, if you look at my test scores they’re at 60% or 70% it was just my work ethic that helped but not my actual knowledge. And that really hurt. I felt like I lied to myself and I lied to everyone, that all I can do is work hard. I think about this sometimes though, do I want to work really hard and earn all the knowledge I lost or do I want to be happy and treat myself like an average student. No offense to anyone, I know that may seem rude but what I mean is I think I’ve just always had high expectations for myself. And next year I’m taking AP classes and honors. My worries are what if I don’t know enough? What if I fall behind? What if my teacher is harsh and realized I’m not even that smart? What do I do anymore? How can I make myself feel better? Thank you for reading this if you did I know it’s really long I’m sorry about that but I have nobody else to say this to 💜
We are the stories we tell ourselves. You have to be your biggest fan. So be kind to yourself. Putting too much stress on yourself.
I can't believe I found someone who was able to put my exact thoughts and feelings into words. I'm sorry I wish I could tell you something that would help us both, but I would like to tell you that our opinions are not facts, if you tell yourself you aren't smart enough (or not good enough) then those aren't real facts. Now I'm not a judge but I can tell you're intelligent and honest with yourself, and everyone around you can see that except yourself.
bye bye I’m glad I found someone who could relate to me (and likes anime lol) I know my thoughts can sometimes stress me out so I try to do as much mental awareness as I can, I think you should do the same it helps me a lot. We can do this together!
Armyaa, u have my same problem... Don't worry let's stay strong♥️ borahaeeee💜💜 Jin hit forevaa
adv_bts Oh my gosh you’re gonna make me cry! Thank you we shall stay strong together, bts has always helped me deal with my stress so let’s keep supporting them! I purple you!!💜💜
3 straight days of self-doubt for taking my medical school USMLE exam ... and know this video shows up and bring me back to point zero where i was all motivated and believing in myself!!
Thank You sir ... your refreshed that dream, you are a turning point of this step of my journey!
I appreciate your candidness. This is how I felt too, and I feel so bad that many people believe they're not smart and "stuck" with the intelligence they were given. I'm trying really hard to change this perception. Just now I posted a new video on my channel, "How Can You Teach Yourself to Be Smarter?". Maybe you'll find it helpful too!
Hello, i must say big thank you, because for a relatively long time i let tests define me, even thought i scored hight i was thinking i was stupid and let opinions of other people hit me, now i know i can unlock my full potencial like all human beings, thank you, you've helped me a lot
Today I took this spanish quiz (the first one of the year) and I got a bad grade. I was very sad because I worked so hard and it was by far the easiest test ever. Then my teacher gave the whole class a retake, I was SO happy. It was the exact same questions as the first time, but I got the same grade. I’m quite disappointed in myself because I cannot stop making silly mistakes. During quarantine I became too dependent on my friends for answers and I lost my ability to do things myself. :(
same
I just fell like I’m not smart at all I’m now in the bottom math class I don’t even play that much video games aswell
I believe the definition of "smart" is still being define in terms of test scores. Find what you are good at and go all in that. Define "smart" for yourself :)
Wanting to go to collage but everyone tells me not to pay for it and I’m not that smart so it won’t work out 😭
Kelly Martinez go to a community college if your worried about money(it’s a great way to get your general studies out of the way). I too struggle with the worry of not being smart enough. But try to work hard and stay on top of things. If you feel like your not smart in certain areas go online and do some independent studying or get a tutor Remember we got this. When people tell you things like that remember that reflects back on them not on you. You don’t have to tell people what’s going on in your life just show them the results💕
When I tried college, I failed the simplest courses ever taken. And, to top it off, the school counselor told me I wasn't "academically inclined." I'm so stupid, I don't even know what that means. And whenever I ask for help, I get a bunch of mumble jumble. And when I say I don't know (regardless what it is!), they just say, "Ok," then walk away. That says, "You're not worth it!"
@@africanlily6107, clearly you don't have a learning disability. Try to work hard? What if you have no clue what to try or how to figure out how to try? I have had teachers tell me, "Just do your best." At what? I had no choice, but to sit there and do nothing! At all!! It really angers me that people make it seem that everyone can do everything with so little effort. I wish I could lend others my learning disability for a month and see what happens. This is not a negative behavior.... it's reality!
JoAndra Van Dowall I have adhd and yes I’m aware that learning disabilities exist. I was trying to offer encouragement. She didn’t say wether she had a disability or not. So who’s to say she just doesn’t feel like she’s smart?(I have that feeling constantly) . I wasn’t trying to say that if you put in enough effort everything is going to work out if that were true we’d all be doctors and lawyers and millionaires😂 That’s not how the world works. I was simply saying do the best YOU can do not for somebody else but for YOU.
JoAndra Van Dowall OMG Same sometimes I feel like I missed something in life. Everyone seems to be better at understanding “normal things” and I’m just loss. Colleges and Schools need to step it up. I work retail and someone will say something and it just doesn’t make sense to me😩. I feel sooo stupid and embarrassed and awkward. But I’m trying to go over basic stuff so hopefully I can feel “caught up” And the worse thing is when they get angry at you like I’m not not understanding on purpose🤦🏾♀️ That’s why I don’t like my mom teaching me anything she doesn’t have the patience.
Everyone I’ve ever spent time with always thinks im stupid…they criticize and judge me…nothing has ever come easy to me…I’ve always had to work harder than everyone…I do not communicate well…I have self esteem and confidence issues…people talk about me and I can feel their energy…they even laugh to my face about it and turn me into the running joke of the day…I feel like I haven’t been able to find my purpose in life because I don’t feel like I’m good at anything…I go to sleep and wake up thinking about this…I have to snap myself out of this feeling in order to go about my day…it’s work…I don’t want to feel that way anymore and I’m looking for answers and guidance…assurance that there is nothing wrong with me…thank you for your video…I needed this right now…anymore advice I will be willing to listen to and read
You are literally living my life
I have NEVER felt I was smart, in the least! I'm tired of every effort being 5000 times more than everyone else and I still have nothing to show for it. I never thought for once, "Oh, I want to...." then failed at it. I don't know what I want to do, I don't know what to try or how to try, what to ask, etc. I'm 56 years of age and I'm so stupid, I don't know how to find my own place to live, all the things one has to do to get there. Not one clue!
You’ve got this!
Olawday, got what? I have no idea what you mean.
You should not talk about yourself that way, I'm sure you have done great things in your life even if it's as simple as making someone feel good.
Am the same but am 16
The best thing in life is that you can always press the restart button and keep trying to get what you want to prove.
Thankyou brother for this message, I am working towards of becoming a welder, so am an apprentice with 3 other colleagues. We were start doing fabrication work and making a metal based table. So what had put me down the most is when every time I would look like a stupid person in front of those whom are more intelligent than I am in working out things and using calculations and so forth. So am always the odd one out who falls behind at things and All today It's been eating up my mind asking "why can't I Just be smart enough?" And your vidoe helped me to realise there is hope. Thankyou.🙏🏽
I'm glad I can provide you hope because that is all you need to do great things.
Thank you for your wonderful message for those who have self doubt or to anyone who truly needs this. I've always have trouble in school because of my lack of motivation and self confidence but this video helped a bit. One day I hope that I can get back my self confidence that a person took from me with one simple word. Thank you so very much for this video.
You might not have a big TH-cam following but I don't really care what you said really meant a lot to me personally so I wanted to thank you . My name's Logan I have autism and a anxiety disorder .ADD and dependent personality disorder . And I suffer from 8 injuries . One is chronic in my left shoulder . I am very emotionally unstable working in work places because of people's opinions of me really affect the way I feel about myself and I've been depressed for a very long time .My last job I was tired because I accidentally cut into a primary transformer pipe which blew up two transformers and should have killed me . To give you some context . I wasn't born with common sense and I learn things WAY slower than the average person and I require a lot of patience . People always get frustrated with me for not understanding right away . So basically I'm saying thank you . I've been dealing with a lot emotionally , a lot of anxiety and it's causing me so much strain on my heart and body I don't have the energy to enjoy my life I'm living to work .I lay down on the coach the entire rest of the day after work . My body can't function anymore cause of all the stress Anxiety wise and emotionally everyday when I get home
Logan I appreciate your kind words.
To start any journey you must take the first step no matter how small. Maybe that is just going outside for a couple minutes everyday. Find something small and make sure no matter what every day you will do it. Even if you don't feel like it.
The hardest part is just starting and staying in motion before your mind even has time to react. Hey and even if it wants to tell you why you shouldn't do it... do it anyway. Master that one thing everyday and then you master the next.
Remember to not label yourself as anything. You are Logan. Who do you want him to be? Start small my friend and so you will be another man.
I cried while watching. now i feel a lot betterabout myself. thank you so much❤i had a test to achive my dream job.but i failed so so bad despite my hardwork.and i ended up doubting myself. now i am going to start again.wish me luck🙏sorry for bad english.
You got this.
Sometimes, I think about killing myself, because I feel trapped. I hope to GOD what you’re saying is true.
Keep hope. Things happen for a reason. There are always opportunities when we look for them.
You should give your life to God.

I’m so insecure, and I keep comparing myself to some smart people in my surroundings. I did an IQ test which gave me an average IQ, and a little higher. I mean, I was always good in school, and most people of average intelligence see me as semi-smart, but mostly I think I’m ambitious and curious to be honest. Those are great qualities that have helped me, but they don’t add to my IQ score.
I’m doubting myself so much and I keep wishing I wish I was more enthusiastic about education so I could get a masters degree, I wish I was more interested in literature, and I am, but not ”enough” for me to feel all right with it. And I keep coming back to the thought ”if only I was born smarter, then I would be more valuable and have more distinguished interests”.
The reason I started thinking about this at all is because I want to become a writer (in my native language) but I feel like an intruder. I’m not into literature, and I feel lesser than. I’m not that book smart. I’m not THAT great with conceptual thinking… smart people don’t have to force themselves to sound smart, because their minds just gravitates towards more complex concepts and ideas. I envy them.
Most well known writers are smart. It bugs me.
This made me learn a lot thank you very much :) u are the real influence mr
I'm glad I could help. Keep pushing and pursuing your dreams.
Im gonna have one of he most important tests in my life, that day is so close but i feel like im losing all my confidence. The thought " Im not as smart as my friends" that i have thought for ages since i was a child appears. :((
Spend some time in a quiet room with no distractions and visualize yourself passing. How you would feel when you pass your test. Helps calm your nerves and allow you to focus.
I came here because I was feeling down about myself. I am struggling to get a job as a data analyst/data scientist and the constant rejections are really weighing on me. I struggle really really hard with giving up... But I have to persevere and make it through. I really hope in 6 months I can come back to this and will have found a job by then.
I was so excited for my ap test because I did good in the class and I ended up getting a 1... the lowest score
It’s all gone downhill from there and now I’m struggling in every class besides my foreign language
You in college? Under any stressful situation it is important you take time for yourself and do something that is active and away from all screens. This will give your brain the break it needs to refresh and get back at it.
You may feel you have to work every minute of every day and that will do more damage than help. Couple other things that could help refresh your focus could be things like Pomodoro Technique.
thank you very much
Currently, I’m transitioning to secondary school and all my friends around me got into private and mini schools. I was the only one who didn’t, and that made me doubt my intelligence...
Don't let these moments define the rest of your life. There are always reason why thing don't work out but it isn't till later where we connect the dots as to why things work out the way they do.
Discover Ignite yes Thank you so much! I jut got accepted a few weeks ago :) once again tysm
Of all the people who don't/won't believe in you, make sure YOU are not one of them.
Your saying facts 👏🏻🙌🏻
what you saying is so real, its not some big vague motivational words, its so real and mature especially when you said "be kind to yourself" to give yourself enough confidence i and I honestly think its what all is about. Being supportive to yourself and instead of saying or thinking or believing you are stupid , you can give yourself a kind push to gain what you need. I have this friend who is smart, when we got any exam result I always compare myself with her and I feel so bad for myself, thinking I am stupid, but after a short period of thinking like that, I go back to mode "mind control" and I throw the whole idea from my head because me and her, we dont have the same condition, like I don't attend classes in the university, I wake up late and learn stuff by my own so I actually study for the exams, the week of the exams, so it's kind of normal that I don't got the same scores as her. I dont know why I except from myself so much that I always turn myself down when I achieve something much less(normal people results I guess). I should think big enough to see myself from a bigger angle, not an emotional irrational angle where great results are achieved with no work, I got to believe in myself more and only work to gain knowledge because I am not genius xD I am smart enough to do anything if I put my mind in it.
Thank you 💚
Thank you sir. This was really calming. I feel better than I was feeling before I watched it. And I loved that you were being completely genuine.
I’ve always felt a bit stupid mainly because of my dad who always ridiculed me comparing me to my sisters. When I grew up, I didn’t get rid of the idea that I was always the dumbest in the room and it is something I have interiorised until the present day. It causes me a lot of suffering and makes me underachieve in anything I try because I sabotage myself telling me that because of how dumb I am, I will fail. And when I make a mistake I will rumiate the situation over and over, I never forgive myself. It’s exhausting. I wish I was brilliant and intelligent, but I just know I’m not and I hate it.
The first thing you want to do is to be mindful of the way you talk to yourself. Catch yourself as you are thinking bad thoughts and think of 3 good things about yourself before proceeding with the bad thought. This could be the smallest of things. This will allow you to start changing your thinking.
Next, you never want to be in a room where you are the smartest person. Just means that the people in the room can teach you something that can help you level up in life.
Have to remember that you are in constant creation. Nothing is fixed and all it takes is to understand that you are always learning. The one way to get better is to practice. You got this!
@@DiscoverIgnite 😊 thank you for your words, I will try my best to fight the demons in my head 👊🏻
@@temporarilyblond Let's get it :)
I can totally relate to u ...same girl same ,I feel like the dumbest girl 😢😢. Let's be friends ?
Thank you for making this video. :D
You give me true motivation thank you!
I don't fell smart enough no no we cant do anything we want , i gave up a long time ago
What did you give up on and why?
Because you did not know! I used to not know how it works.
Thank you for this. I've always been doubting myself and lacking faith in myself... I've always felt so stupid, and that I'm not smart enough for anything. I often sit there and dwell on every problem and overthink it, and then let it define me. I was listening to and believing others' views of me, about how I'm dumb and how I am not good enough at such thing I want to be good at. It sort of hurts when I ready put myself down and then feel more pain because I already don't believe in myself. And I don't like myself...
So hearing this was nice, I'm glad that I can hear from someone else tell me (and to others in your audience) that we are capable, and that we are smart enough, that we are good enough and we have to stop letting things like tests and other people's options define us. And to also stop downing on ourselves... It really feels like I'm being validated a little. So thank you. And I'm glad you finally achieved your dream of being a programmer.
Oh wow I really needed this. I want to be a computer programmer. I’m a senior about to graduate from highschool. I took a computer science course in highschool to get college credit and it ended up being the hardest thing I’ve ever taken. My two friends also took it but don’t want I to major in the same field as me, and they ended up picking it up faster than me. The only reason I have a decent grade in the class is because of curve that me teacher puts on the grade. I don’t think I’m getting the college credit, but I still want to major in computer science.
I don't think I'm smart enough life taught me that. My main problem is my memory.
Can you explain?
I'm going to the same thing
Only smart get respect, not my case.
Thank you for the inspirational video. I haven't been getting good grades in calculus and I've been feeling down because other peers have been getting better grades around me. My overall goal is to get those A's and attend a good college, to pursue my dream major. It's hard for me to ignore these people and stop becoming jealous, but I'm trying to focus on myself and continue to work hard, to achieve my dream. Thank you again
I’m not smart . I’m not good looking either and women and men let me know this whenever I come in contact with them so I have no choice but to avoid people if I don’t want to get my feelings hurt .
I'm not smart enough to believe i am smart. I'm also smart enough to believe that I am not smart enough
Remove thought and just do. Then you don't have to think about it one way or another :)
Even I'm not smart myself, since I have struggle so hard in learning since I have struggle with math and I even have struggle so hard in spelling too since I could never spell words right.
Even when I'm on the internet which in school I just know I get unhappy seeing how bad I struggle in learning but yet I don't like how my mom lies to me when she says OH YOU'RE SMART
Which that is a lie though which she should know I ain't smart though I'm just dumb which I know in fact I have a learning disability which I know there can exist many people like me.
That have learning disabilities would have agree how school can be frustrating for people with disabilities and would accept the fact we just ain't smart at all while I'm sure there can
Exist some people that have learning disabilities will still try to do their best in learning in school but not anyone that has a learning disability can do well in learning which we do have to
Agree not anyone can be smart and people should know you can't always expect people to be smart when not anyone is going to do well in learning.
God is real, so holiness is of much, much greater importance. This life will be over soon, so don’t worry about not being smart, just thank God and let Him use it for your good. ✝️🙏🕊️
I’m worried I’m gonna be clueless, not catch on fast enough and not be able to gain skill at my next job, but if I got on the deans list I can. And most of all if I believe I can. I can
Luckily the ASVAB is not an accurate measure of intelligence because in order to properly answer the ASVAB questions your prior academic background and how much you study for it impact your score. An intelligence test contains questions that you most likely will have no prior knowledge of how to answer them.
Whatever decisions I end up taking, they end up blowing in my face.
In such regards,
People look down upon me thinking I’m extremely stupid
Probably-I am
I’m not smart enough, I’m in my mid-40s I’ve been unhappy all my life, with myself, my brain, everything, I don’t even know why I continue life
"maybe this realm isn't for you" inspirational
it's easier to accept we are stupid. the only difference between you and them is they are stupider
Even me im not smart enough i keep getting small scores in my school my mother was so mad thats why i dont know what to do
my parents and friends always tell me about how i’m very smart, but it’s so hard to believe them when you push yourself to be better but you just fail again and again. this sounds dumb but i’ve always wanted to be amazing at chess and i always play against my dad. my dad is no pro at all, and i have lost every. single. game. i used to love chess but now it’s just a depressing spiral of losing piece after piece and losing game after game and never being able to think ahead of him. to this day i have never won a single game
Have you ever picked up a book on strategies of chess? There is always a way. Just need perspective.
@@DiscoverIgnite i have thought about that but my own stubbornness gets in the way and i always come back to the same conclusion of, if i was smart enough i wouldn’t need a book. therefore since i might need to use the help of a book, i’m not smart enough. but thank you so much for your help and your video was actually pretty inspiring.
@@evelynfields1954 we are not gifted with knowledge. We are limited by our experience and perspective. Brains are built to adapt and do very well at it. It's our belief that we have a fixed mindset rather than a growth mindset that makes all the difference.
Thank you and glad it could inspire you.
@@DiscoverIgnite holy cow you are amazing. just actually talking to someone is so nice. who knew leaving a comment on a youtube video would bring me so much joy. you might not know it but just having you talk to me about it is so kind. not a lot of people these days care enough to reach out and help you come to a solution to even the smallest problems. you are a national treasure. thank you so much for helping me even with my smallest problems
this video never help me
Thank you i needed this 💖
What is the difference between someone telling me that I am not smart enough (or in your ASVAB case, my experiences in life telling me that I am not smart enough), and you telling me that I AM smart enough without knowing anything about me?
Everything is an opinion. What do you think of yourself? That is what matters.
@@DiscoverIgnite I don't think I am smart enough to do the things I want to do. That's what my life experiences have shown me.

I am just dumb i will say means if you are good at concepts and mathematics you are not supposed to be intelligent.
There are 9 types of intelligence discovered by Howard Gardener. You have to realize that you won't be good at all of them. You can be good at a couple of them but understand where you spend most of your time doing is where you will shine the most.
Don't put yourself down for not having them all. We all have strengths and weaknesses and what makes us unique and gives us the unique value that we can offer to the world.
Keep your head up, my friend.
I can relate to u completely ,I sucks at practical thing
Who's here after the 2020 AP exams
I always wanted to be in law enforcement. Ik I can be a good officer a officer that people would look up too if they would train hands on. I just can’t not ever pass the exam I’m so lost what to do now
Do you know what your learning style is and have you looked for alternative study material?
@@DiscoverIgnite I'm more of a hands on learning type of person. in highschool my counselor told me I had a learning disability thats why I was put in eaiser classes than others. I'm just a normal person but I just learn slower than others and takes test slower. But once I catch onto what's going on and understand everything it's a peace of cake. It's just the academic that I have troubles with.
I dont wanna assemble wal nuts machines for the rest of my life as a part of my job right now.
@@fatfitnessvang299 I am not familiar at all with the test you're talking about but if you could incorporate physical movement some how in with your learning it could help. I was told I had a learning disability at one point in my life too.
Biggest thing is to never give up. It will eventually click like you said and you will nail it.
@@DiscoverIgnite yeah its complicated to explain this through social media
I recently fucked up a hugeee test and this whole school year. I will inevitably fuck up the rest. I only really enjoy Arduino and electronics but I need to do the rest of my subjects to get into a good college. All my friends are doing better than me, I'm the only one who's lacking. I can't get past it. I don't know if any college will accept me for electronic engineering because I'm not smart or fucking hardworking unless I enjoy the work I do. Please help. I can't do anything anymore, I can't go a single night without worrying. How the fuck do I do anything without these test grades man.
I don't think I'll get to my dream, ever.
That's the sad part. I cant do shit.
I was always the stupid one, the least faurite and the weakest.
I like how you talk about it in past tense. Keep it there as you are not defined because of the past but what you do today.
I'm treated as an idiot by my teachers and my classmates all because i score less marks. I don't know why when i haven't done anything wrong in my life. I'm feeling hopeless 😔.
I don’t learn as quickly as other I very slow my spelling is I think a bit below others and math is just do hard my ‘friend’ called me special Ed for not getting it, it really hurt
nah bro its not that I believe im stupid its a fact
Beautiful! Thanks for the kind and inspiring words, i always doubt myself, even now. But i want to help others, so i will study hard to prove that even someone like me, can work hard for someone else then himself.
Such a great video, I really needed this motivation!
Glad I could help :)
Thank You
Thank you
But the thing is. I'm not "confident" or something because I know how smart I am, what I can do and not. Not becauae someone said it or something. And I just wish everyday to be good at something for one time of my life
I’m not smart I’ve been Special ed classes and Disability now but see people pretty Smile had nice cars and own house smart Ideas.I try hard but still can’t do it. :/.
There are many examples of historical figures that have failed hundreds of times before their first success. It's just about continuing to push and have hope. Brush yourself off and keep pushing. Best things in life shouldn't be easy or else everyone would have them.
Don't get caught up with flashy cars and houses. True wealth isn't advertised.
Discover Ignite thank you so much for good answer words .I try keep up myself Focus not to worry anything I might be okay 😁it’s nice to meet you big thx 🙏🏻
I kind of have the impostor syndrome a lot of people tell me Îm smart because I care about a lot of different topics and know some specific info and like questioning reality but the reality is I’ve learnt a lot from youtube. I don’t even read that much. I’m really ashamed. It’s like Why do I find so difficult to read an entire book and prioritize videos and articles? A lot of people quote books. And I just feel’guilty for not wanting to read that much and not being able to stay focus a long term. Do you relate? Do you have any advice? What do you guys think?
I can relate. You prefer to watch videos. You're a visual learner. The best advice and knowledge comes from experience. I feel there is more direct knowledge here on TH-cam. You have to weed through a lot of bad information but again what may work for you may not work for others and versa.
As long as you're learning I think that is ultimately what matters. Spend a little time reading is good but focus primarily on the way you learn. I do a lot of audio books as well as I can fly through books twice as fast. Time is something we can't get back so trying to capitalize on the time you have is important as well.
My impatient grandmother would tell me often that I can’t do anything right. I’m 49 & im struggling with it still. I believed her 100% & still do. I had to come clean with my wife & tell her because it’s hurting my marriage financially. I don’t know how to reset my mind.
This is like me I'm always negative person like I'm stupid 🤨 and yup
wow ! i’m a junior in high school , thinking about my future , and how i’m gonna get thru college and life itsself , i know what life has prepared for me , i’m just constantly worrying about it . 😖🤦🏾♂️
Just.. thank you.
I'm here since I'm failing most of my classes, I shouldn't have passed the entrance exam :(
I don't enjoy anything....what should I do?
Try new things. Be curious and say yes where you would normally no. Experience it before judgment.
this video helped me so much . you know i always asked myself these questions : why can't i be smart , why others are better than me etc. being smart isnt just for getting all your exams correct , all you have to do is be yourself ... not like others .. its okay to fail a test ....because you must never give up ... so you must think positive and work hard for what you fail , we all students that they are very intellingent and smart .And everyone loves her/him. maybe they have their weakness that no one knows . so you dont have to belive that you feel stupid or weird . continue in your studies , miracels happend when you do something that you always wanted ...love yourself
Thank you soo much ! I've been struggling with my life recently . I've been doubting myself on education for years now , I never proud of myself but now I want to try believing and being proud of what I have achieve and grow from it
Phew - I'm 7 months into a great job in Healthcare IT. I'm learning a ton! And also struggling a ton. I work SO hard every day at putting those self-defeating thoughts to the side, taking a breath, and moving forward. I really needed to hear this. Thank you 💛
I hate it when someone solved a riddle very quickly, its like insulting my intelligence
So basically there’s no such thing as a person not being smart?
I find this weird coming from a man. I dealt with old male chauvinists. I do not think that I am sexist. My Dad called my not smart. It seems like men were regarded to be anything they wanted while females were told the opposite. I was told not to go to college. I said that I wanted to be a bus driver. A woman told me that I could not do that. Everything that I wanted to do, everyone told me that I can’t and put effort to stop me. I was being forced to live in a state hospital. I was given bad medicine. Man narrator, you
don’t know the woman world of the late eighties, I have a heroine now. Her name is Nellie Bly. She reminds me of myself. Man, I almost lost my freedom. I don’t believe you in
this bad not safe world. I had endometriosis. I believe so. My medical problems never mattered to my family. It seems stupid that you think you are not smart because you are free and safe. I have reasons to be insecure. I don’t do sex because I don’t want people telling me if I want sex, go to
the hospital. My medicine makes me feel bad.
I was told a lot of things and put in special programs as a kid. Men have the pressure to succeed. Be what you want as long as it is successful. But success is defined differently for a lot of people and society in general.
I don't know what these medical conditions are that you talk about. You say you have "reasons" to be insecure. There is always reasons but this is where it is important to build confidence in your image. This confident image of yourself shouldn't be influenced by others or society. Don't allow others' opinions to define you.
Our lives are a reflection of how we react to life. Either you believe what THEY tell you or YOU believe in yourself and take the actions to prove to yourself that YOU CAN.
Sir I can't talk in English but i just little understand
If only God made us perfect earth will not have a problem everyone will have a good life everyone is smart... Why it has to be like this... Everything hard work.. hard work... everytime I hear that word..... I'm getting irritated..... It's unfair for those people who were born smart...
If things were easy, we wouldn't appreciate them.
What we don't see is the hard work that takes years to build. Don't buy into the logic that you are born smart or need this to do that.
Believe in yourself and build the life you want. Yes, it is that easy, but it does require work.
Hah, how can you say for everyone watching that they are smart, like to someone from inbreed family or something, i stopped watching right there. Better advice is, maybe you aren't smart, but realizing this is great, because brain can be improved to some extent with training and habits. Not everyone is smart, its cruel world, but it is how it is.
There are different types of intelligence. Being defined by only two of them does not make you smart. You can excel at one or more of the other intelligence and be considered smart in that intelligence.
If the brain is not wired normally then I would agree, but that is not the audience this video was made for.
Even with that being said, the brain is a remarkable thing that we haven't even scratched the surface on. So, I couldn't really say that it's impossible.
I was diagnosed with LD. I have not much to build a life with, I kinda see myself struggle day to day to make decisions for myself. Well, I don't know what to do with my life. I wish I was like others, I wish I knew what if felt like to Graduate, or to fail a test and getting it done the second time. I wish I knew what a serious profession felt like. Not a dusted Job somewhere with Toxic people. Doesn't feel well, if I'm honest.
LD? Explore the tools you have and the strengths you have. Opportunity is hidden in plain sight. Seek knowledge and perspective, then your view of the world will change overnight.
great vid'; but, I am 50 , emotional, outspoken/opinionated, only G.E.D., my skill is Forklift only- basically, haven't had a reg. job since 2017, bad knees, bad butt, need beer to do physical work (which is all I'm good at-seemingly), surrounded by LAZY family, we're poor, but far from destitute , my oldest son hates my guts(true HATE), elderly parents(obviously), very unstable brother, younger son & grandkid, horrible memory, very foul mouthed, on & on!..I simply see this Kilimanjaro Mountain n front of me and have ZERO clue as to how I climb it!!!!...oh and BTW (side note)...I desperately want to LIFT weights again (get n some shape again)-( I am 6'3, 160 lbs,girly boned)……….ANYBODY: WTF do I do???????????????????????????
Mountains are concord one step at a time. Focus on one thing at a time. Master that then move to the next. Eventually you will be at the top looking down.
Believe it or not, you saved my self-confidence at the right moment
Thank you I appreciate your video a lot.
Thank you so much, I need this to overcome my goals
I am currently in my (hopefully) last year of uni, struggling to write my thesis paper. Many times I thought of stopping altogether and just go to work. I hated myself to not standing up to my parents enough to tell them that the major they wanted me to take, is not cutting it. Every day for almost four years I feel like I'm living like a robot, going in and out to class, study, just for the sake of the grades my parents won't scold me for. For the prestige they needed to brag to others. I still have my dream, the dream that always lives at the back of my head that I hope I can fulfill and make a living out of one day. I really want to achieve that dream, but I know I have this barrier of thesis and home environment that feels more like four roommates that uses shouting as a normal conversational way to get through. But I can't add more pages in my document. I can't find more ways to finish this. My guiding professor just told me to keep writing, but I can't even add more sentences enough I feel like a failure not being able to come to thesis counseling with something new. Especially if you feel like the whole world keeps telling you no and suck it up.
(I'm sorry, I just want to share here)
Sometimes we just need a break. Take an afternoon off and do something you enjoy. Unplug and gather your thoughts. Gives tremendous clarity.
I’ve applied for an MSc in midwifery and now panicking because I feel I’m not going to cope/be smart enough for masters level work 😭😭😭
You are smart enough. Change your internal self- talk. Focus on the moment and do what you need to. Future hasn't happened. Stop living in a state of failure that hasn't happen.
Thank you soooo much man this help me a lott
What if its actually true though. Because it is for me.
You become what you believe. Remove the noise and focus on the how.
Thanks you for your words
