John Fish. You're such a huge inspiration to me, for years now. Last November, watching one of your videos, I decided to try a 2months long break from social media (including youtube - except useful channels) + television... I made it and instead started learning coding and reading a lot. Since then I've been much more productive and somehow, your videos started this. Next May I'm applying for software engineering and I wouldn't do it nor believe in myself without you being truly helpful. Sorry for being too sentimental but I really think your videos help lots of people 💙 Also sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, I'm from Slovakia so... ✌
@@张小明-i1w You should, you can learn another language :) Btw, does your last sentence read zai jen or goodbye? My Mandarin is rusty, didn't practice for a few months...
i don’t think you know it, but your videos are so important to so many people. you literally give the best advice and i’m so grateful for you! keep inspiring others ✨
As a homeschooler who’s developed a love of learning, I want to say that this video was really amazing! Learning is beautiful and really fun, and so thanks for inspiring me to remember to learn for fun more often!
I was in grade 12 last year and I was seeing learning as a necessary task to get through school. I'm now in college and I truly believe in learning for fun. Being motivated and enthusiastic about learning has tremendously changed the way I perceive it. I feel empowered with the opportunity to learn any subject I want and it's making feel very happy.
Stax jeez I did. But it’s always helpful to understand a website from other people instead of just looking it up and not really understanding what it is. Anyways, yeah I did.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have problems with stress, anxiety, and also if I just open a book or think about studying, I will start overthinking, I can't focus, I will start stressing, shaking, getting headaches, like just ... STRESSING. But this video helped me a lot. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making this. I am going through a hard time in my life and I still have to study no matter what, and this helped me. Nice work, dude 💓😄
5:53-7:43 he makes his best point. If you put full consideration and consistency into leading your favorite subject daily, It’ll become beneficial and help you on later in life with your job. Even just by putting in 10-30 minutes everyday, you can learn something new.
doing school is a responsibility you can hate it or enjoy it (still struggling and improving) we are made to avoid danger and things we hate sometimes your goals are what you hate wich you dont have to
I like that idea about consistency. I've been learning English for the past 4 years. I never missed a day since then. Right now English is my major in the Uni, I have a job that requires a decent level of English fluency. I've read and watched so much content that is not available in my native language, I've met so many people, I've done so much. My life has changed. Everything it took was at least 15 minutes a day.
You are amazing ! I do study in summer for myself, but I can’t stop feeling that I won’t have enough time to relax before the next year. You’ve changed my point of view. I’ve never told myself that study could be fun..Thanks for the inspiration! I am a medical student from Russia, Kazan
Learning for fun in school would have completely changed my collegiate experience. Unfortunately the motivation was to get a post grad job locked down 🤷♂️
People like you help people like us to reflect on the things we do in our daily lives. Never have I ever been motivated like this from any other video out there. I can relate to you so much and as a full time student your videos allow me to be clear about my future and my goals. Thank you for making these kind of videos!
I have subscribed on several channels on youtube with one and only object = to enhance my english skills through watching native speakers . But I should say that I'm learning more than that ... you are inspiring me ! thank you ! Keep up the good work .
For some reason, I am here watching (listening). Mile and miles for away (doesn't metter where I am on the globe) Just one click it is enough to making a true invaluable connection. Connecting strong minds, thoughts, expirences.
Totally agree with you. I remember 1 year ago I started learning English. I used to have a very small vocabulary and poor grammar. But now I'm preparing for TOEFL exam. Your videos are really helpful tysm!
I’ve been learning for fun through TH-cam for 6 of the 15 years of my life. There is just SO much educational content on this. It’s actually absurd. What’s also crazy is how easy it was to learn here. Only a small percentage of the educational videos I’ve seen have been boring, which allows me to just inhale them. Not to mention the TH-cam algorithm that can keep the cycle of learning going for hours a day. The internet is so underrated when it comes to learning and education. I’m even shocked at times by how much I know. What happens a lot in conversation is that a nerdy topic is brought up, and I’ve got basically talk down to the other person. It’s just all so crazy. I think I need to donate my both my kidneys to youtube as a thank you.
Evoke curiosity,ask what's holding me back from learning,be consistent and patient in what u r doing- golden ideas worth spreading thanks a lot Johnny Fish!!!
If I had watched this a year ago, I’d probably not have been able to catch the essence of the matter. Actually, I started learning English (it’s my 3rd language) through the internet and omg I’ve learned so much more in several weeks than I do in a year of English taught at school. I’m almost fluent now and I could tell that it’s probably the best decision of my life. Throughout the year, I began considering the idea of studying abroad. Without a strong belief that my English will be consistent enough once high school is over, the motivation would have faded away in a few days. But because I was seeing amazing results of my learning, I persisted. I didn’t have the slightest idea of how it feels to learn for fun. But don’t get me wrong, it’s not something that comes in an instant, it’s all about how dedicated you are. I’m now preparing the TOEFL, my application to UK universities and reading V. Woolf essays. Thank you John, thanks for reminding me that it applies to any other area, how easy it is to just get a book and grow interests and skills :)
You're inspiring in how you perceive and approach the world... At your core, you're optimistic, which drives your motivation whereas it's so easy for me to fall off the rails and feel overwhelmed and discouraged. Watching your videos really do remind me that life doesn't have to be bleak.
dude, John Fish you are the best TH-camr ever. You have inspired me greatly. Although I am only going into highschool your videos still affect me. Thank you so much for posting.
john, you are one of those people who can make others really excited about life (such as myself) and learn and do things with heart and positivity. i love your advice and im so glad i subscribed. because of you, i began to use Brilliant and practice harder on my sats (which i scored really well on). thank you for everything :)
I realized a while ago that you can “learn for fun”, but before that I really didn’t do a lot of learning out of school. I think that not a lot of kids care to learn about what they are learning about in school and not a lot of kids enjoy or have an interest in what they are learning about. It really didn’t occur to me at first that you could “learn for fun”. I started just when I would learn new things about whatever I was interested in by just reading about it on the internet. Engineering, science, and programming were a few of my favorite topics to research. I think that learning for fun has really had a impact on me because it allows you to be independent and decide how you want to learn and learn when you want to.
For the past three days, I have been working on a python based project. I just graduated from high school and I was just thinking the same thing you are. When I got certain things to work from reading the documentation it felt good. I realized that learning could and SHOULD be fun. I had a terrible web development/computer science teacher in high school who just cared more about assignments than actual learning. This led me to not caring about learning and caring more about completing assignments (copy and paste ) *cough* *cough*. Anyways, I just started to learn on my own. I hope I become consistent in learning more. Thanks, now I know I'm not the only one.
Literally I wanted to learn coding this summer year, I’m currently 15 and I wanted to learn the basic for C++ but my parents don’t agree on buying me a laptop. I want to learn new thing, literally in life every second is so precious, either you waste it or you put it in something special. My mom always give me this example “you have two choices in life wait and look or work hard and gain it”. Life ain’t a bed of full roses
I don't how , but I don't think it's a coincidence that I was constantly about this topic and now this my summer holidays so this video came to me in the perfect timing , Thank you so much
Finding a little bit of time each day to read really makes a difference. This works well for language learning too. I'm chipping my way through Tolstoy's War and Peace in Russian that way. I mostly read it on the metro when I go to work.
Thank you so much. I would probably actually drop out if I hasn’t stumbled upon your videos. You’ve changed my thinking about school and learning. Thank you so much!
The best of learning is one done out of free will; that's true. Often, smart people are those who take fun learning seriously, and do it widely. It pays of tremendously.
Jhonn!! ahhhhh Im from Israel and I've been watching your videos for a year now. You are such an inspiration to me!! Because of you, I managed to get my life together, study much more productivily and start coding without being afraid ! Also I became happier person and calm. Keep going with this holly work! *sorry for my english
Thank you john , you motivate me to study smart and study better and not waste so much time as i used to do Now i'm going to get into colleague My goal was to get 98% in high school But last week if got 95% and i'm happy with it Because if i wasn't working hard this could be 80% or maybe 70% Now i can get into IT colleague and learn from my misatkes I learned from my mistake in 9th grade , 9th grade i've got 75% 12th grade 95% And maybe in colleague i'll reach my goal and got the 98% and that's improvement because of you So my last wish to student and every one have a goal is to learn from mistakes we made Don't be sad if you haven't achived your goal, no you have to be smart and research what is the thing that made you not achive it Love from syria🖤
I think you missed something: motivation. A lot of people struggle outside of a structured environment given how overwhelming the amount of information out there is. Personally, I've self studied a lot of things, learnt to 'learn for fun' and it has helped me approach everything differently but I would've been more productive if somebody had planned it all out for me and told me what to do instead of me having to hunt down information and draw conclusions and comparisons on my own. Otherwise, spot on!
Another thing he doesn't mention is the curation of availible knowledge. Sure, you could learn everything that you learn in a college course online; but finding the right material, and getting feedback on your work, is very difficult to do online
It's worth something, but if you're looking to learn something specific it can be an unnecessary waste of time. Although if you're a US resident and have to pay for college that "waste of time" might be worth it
This is so inspiring. I've always been a curious person and although school makes learning exhausting at times, I feel the same way as you. I've always thought it was kind of sad that people learn or shove massive amounts on information into our brains just because we have to do it to get a job or be successful. I find it sad that we can no longer enjoy learning and studying just because there are topics and subjects out there that are so interesting to learn about. It makes me sad that some people in uni are studying things they don't even want to learn just because they feel like they need to study something or their parents pressured them to do it. I honestly hope that one day, people will view learning in the same way that you do. Thanks for the video ♥️♥️
Another great video of John Fish who's such a huge inspiration to me as I started following his channel last year. For instance, I feel tremendously excited learning English for fun changing the journey of my preparing the IELTS exams in daily life. I honestly believe that commitments and consistencies are the key to be a successful person. Again, Thank John.
Wow John you are absolutely right. I'm gonna start my first year engineering and I decided to learn coding in spite of having mechanical engineering as my branch. I was a bit confused whether I should continue with my learning as I thought that it'll not be beneficial for a student like me who has opted for a core branch, but now I think I should continue with it. Thanks for your motivation. #For the joy of learning😃😃😃.
There are a lot of useful information on this channel. I can compare 1 video with 1 page of a good book. And this is a rarity. Thank you for changing life’s! And good luck 🍀
You've got me on as a sub when you mentioned good will hunting and show "my boy wicked smart" scene, I think that is one of my all time favourites movies exactly because of the self taught topic.
Ever since I've been watching your videos I've been reading a book a week, and I've found that books have so much to offer yet so many draw a blind eye towards it. I've changed my view of the world by enjoying things that I might have never enjoyed a year ago. After reading a physics book from Stephen Hawking I wanted to know more of the outer space as there are so many questions to bear in mind regarding dark energy, dark matter and what is at the end of the singularity of black holes; if there's more to it than just a one-dimensional end. Being a year 10 and comparing myself to the person I was last year, I see that I've changed a lot. I'm more studious and I enjoy studying while I do it which has made me more productive in my time learning, and I'm grateful for that as I'll be in year 11 and 12 and more mature than this year with techniques readied to help me do my best.
Amazing! I am learning new language just for fun also math and quantum physics and reading books about biology just for the fascination it brings. Highly recommend having such a "hobby" 😊
I love the simple breakdown here and your ideas on learning. I have been trying to read more and have been really successful this year. I am at 15 and that is more than I have read in the past several years... This idea really works!!
I have been leaning on Khan Academy for a long time now and I have never looked back. Starting to do it is the best decision I have ever taken; the most import thing it has taught me is now the math but rather how to think.
Well, because of you I just enrolled in an edX course.... this is only my first week of the summer break and I'm already back at studying hahaha.... great :P
isn't it incredibly that there is so much free information? just stand still for a moment and think about it, literally EVERYTHING you want to learn is on the internet in what ever format suits you (blogs, papers, video's, etc.). some of the problems I think were are not using this free information at its fullest is that 1) there is more free entertainment on the internet which is hard to resist, since it is engineered to grab our attention 2) we lack the discipline to consistently study something for a given period every day (why are we lazy?) and 3) as you say, we don't think/are told learning = fun! I have this side job where I have a lot of breaks between tasks. all my colleagues always drink coffee or look at their phone during these breaks while I take out my journal and read a book. then when I am reading often some of my colleagues will walk up to me and say "oh are you studying for school?" after which I say, "no this is just for me". what happens then is that their face changes to complete surprise/confusion and they don't know what to say next. somehow they can't get it that you would be learning for fun. once you have gotten yourself the learning = fun spirit there is never any time during the day that I don't have anything to do, because there is so much more for me to learn, I can always be doing something!
John you really inspired me like a student. And like a person. I really wanna spend time with u and this kind of people.watching your videos i began to fond of books and my attention to lessons highly changed . Thank u a lot. And sorry for being honest but you are so cute 😚
I'm self learning AP Computer Science A online for fun since my school doesn't offer it. I find it so interesting that I don't feel like I'm studying. I hope that I'll be prepared to take the AP exam in May!
@@coldmayorelish6466 Awesome! Which resources are you using? I'm learning from the online Udemy course "Decoding AP Computer Science A." I may purchase the Barron's or Princeton Review prep book as well.
@@AB-sr4xd look up reddit communities for your desired ap class - in this case, computer science. It's good for free online material and you can ask any questions you'd like and most likely someone will answer your questions.
Hi John, I know this is a video from a while back but I just wanted to say - I really agree with what you said about committing to something everyday like building a project or learning. But the question I keep asking myself lately is, should I take the time to learn about as many of my interests as I can or just focus on ONE thing long-term that I’m most enthusiastic about and build a great project around it. I wondered what you’d say about that. Anyways, loved this video, I hope you’re doing great.
I think instant gratification is what's holding some back. Being able to think long term and understand the benefits to be reaped by consistent small chunks of progress really pays dividends. Though I have a theory that humans are terrible at thinking long term, as historically while we evolved, in terms of survival there was just no need to think long term. Instead we generally seem to be attracted to attention grabbing shiny objects, like smartphones. I'm a big proponent of consistency though. Took me far in sports, and it's doing the same with my studies. Wish I'd been able to think this way when I was younger.
Could you do a video on how you maintain your mental health on a daily basis? What gives you calmness and levity when life becomes hard and maybe, unbearable? I would very much love your perspective! 😊
John, I have found learning for a job to be extremely disappointing. It's been 35 years since I received my MBA, and not only have I done no better than a permanent, fultime job requiring only a high school diploma, but it's boring routine. I don't know which is more frustrating: to be told I'm overqualified for a better position, or to have excuses thrown at me from moving up. My only pleasure has been learning, but the internet has been helpful in my updating my knowledge of courses I'd taken in high school (especially MIT OCW) and seeking knowledge I can use, such as Microsoft Office and the various computer programs. I am now at the point where I am trying to use what you've advised to advantage, so I can endorse your recommendations.
Hi Fish, today i was in a depressive mood, my life in this moment it`s not the best and in just feel exhausted and dull with myself. However i found your videos, and just feel like slap. what i needed in this moment to wake up and think on me. Sometimes it`s hard see the brigth side . thank you.

12th grade 95%
And maybe in colleague i'll reach my goal and got the 98% and that's improvement because of you
So my last wish to student and every one have a goal is to learn from mistakes we made
Don't be sad if you haven't achived your goal, no you have to be smart and research what is the thing that made you not achive it
Love from syria🖤
I think you missed something: motivation. A lot of people struggle outside of a structured environment given how overwhelming the amount of information out there is. Personally, I've self studied a lot of things, learnt to 'learn for fun' and it has helped me approach everything differently but I would've been more productive if somebody had planned it all out for me and told me what to do instead of me having to hunt down information and draw conclusions and comparisons on my own. Otherwise, spot on!
Another thing he doesn't mention is the curation of availible knowledge. Sure, you could learn everything that you learn in a college course online; but finding the right material, and getting feedback on your work, is very difficult to do online
Sounds like you've improved your researching skills greatly, ain't that worth something?
It's worth something, but if you're looking to learn something specific it can be an unnecessary waste of time. Although if you're a US resident and have to pay for college that "waste of time" might be worth it
Zig Ziglar recommended a dose of motivation a day
remove all distractions from ur life and find something u truly love to do that will help others and u'll be truly motivated to learn that thing
To put it simply, patience and consistency are essential to achieve success in a person’s life.
This is the most honest review about "education". MY John Fish Fan Boy has been reignited again!
People: complaining that they have not enough free time.
John Fish : 4:57 ... lets put a "wee" text over that fly xD
LOL
Cheers to u man to find that out.. Lol
This is so inspiring. I've always been a curious person and although school makes learning exhausting at times, I feel the same way as you. I've always thought it was kind of sad that people learn or shove massive amounts on information into our brains just because we have to do it to get a job or be successful. I find it sad that we can no longer enjoy learning and studying just because there are topics and subjects out there that are so interesting to learn about. It makes me sad that some people in uni are studying things they don't even want to learn just because they feel like they need to study something or their parents pressured them to do it. I honestly hope that one day, people will view learning in the same way that you do. Thanks for the video ♥️♥️
Another great video of John Fish who's such a huge inspiration to me as I started following his channel last year. For instance, I feel tremendously excited learning English for fun changing the journey of my preparing the IELTS exams in daily life. I honestly believe that commitments and consistencies are the key to be a successful person. Again, Thank John.
him:*exist*
me:i think i'm in love
Wow John you are absolutely right. I'm gonna start my first year engineering and I decided to learn coding in spite of having mechanical engineering as my branch. I was a bit confused whether I should continue with my learning as I thought that it'll not be beneficial for a student like me who has opted for a core branch, but now I think I should continue with it. Thanks for your motivation.
#For the joy of learning😃😃😃.
There are a lot of useful information on this channel. I can compare 1 video with 1 page of a good book. And this is a rarity. Thank you for changing life’s! And good luck 🍀
I love how you make learning so enjoyable!
You've got me on as a sub when you mentioned good will hunting and show "my boy wicked smart" scene, I think that is one of my all time favourites movies exactly because of the self taught topic.
I enjoyed college this year and it was so nice, so now I do a lot more stuff and I feel better and more productive.
Ever since I've been watching your videos I've been reading a book a week, and I've found that books have so much to offer yet so many draw a blind eye towards it. I've changed my view of the world by enjoying things that I might have never enjoyed a year ago. After reading a physics book from Stephen Hawking I wanted to know more of the outer space as there are so many questions to bear in mind regarding dark energy, dark matter and what is at the end of the singularity of black holes; if there's more to it than just a one-dimensional end. Being a year 10 and comparing myself to the person I was last year, I see that I've changed a lot. I'm more studious and I enjoy studying while I do it which has made me more productive in my time learning, and I'm grateful for that as I'll be in year 11 and 12 and more mature than this year with techniques readied to help me do my best.
Amazing! I am learning new language just for fun also math and quantum physics and reading books about biology just for the fascination it brings. Highly recommend having such a "hobby" 😊
You've such a clarity of the ideas you present, really thought provoking.👍
You had given me inspiration through doing anything for Fun to be more optimistic day by day. Thanks a lot

I can physically feel Your creativity. And this video is so full of these moments.
I love the simple breakdown here and your ideas on learning. I have been trying to read more and have been really successful this year. I am at 15 and that is more than I have read in the past several years... This idea really works!!
I have been leaning on Khan Academy for a long time now and I have never looked back. Starting to do it is the best decision I have ever taken; the most import thing it has taught me is now the math but rather how to think.
I love how motivational you are
john fish is lowkey the reason why im still on cs lol lotsssssss of luvvv from malaysiaaaaaaaaa
Well, because of you I just enrolled in an edX course.... this is only my first week of the summer break and I'm already back at studying hahaha.... great :P
wait what.
@@thormungpi hmm?
@@aaron-kurz How come you had your first week of summer break when its. 1 month into Summer
isn't it incredibly that there is so much free information? just stand still for a moment and think about it, literally EVERYTHING you want to learn is on the internet in what ever format suits you (blogs, papers, video's, etc.). some of the problems I think were are not using this free information at its fullest is that 1) there is more free entertainment on the internet which is hard to resist, since it is engineered to grab our attention 2) we lack the discipline to consistently study something for a given period every day (why are we lazy?) and 3) as you say, we don't think/are told learning = fun!
I have this side job where I have a lot of breaks between tasks. all my colleagues always drink coffee or look at their phone during these breaks while I take out my journal and read a book. then when I am reading often some of my colleagues will walk up to me and say "oh are you studying for school?" after which I say, "no this is just for me". what happens then is that their face changes to complete surprise/confusion and they don't know what to say next. somehow they can't get it that you would be learning for fun. once you have gotten yourself the learning = fun spirit there is never any time during the day that I don't have anything to do, because there is so much more for me to learn, I can always be doing something!
John you really inspired me like a student. And like a person. I really wanna spend time with u and this kind of people.watching your videos i began to fond of books and my attention to lessons highly changed . Thank u a lot. And sorry for being honest but you are so cute 😚
I'm self learning AP Computer Science A online for fun since my school doesn't offer it. I find it so interesting that I don't feel like I'm studying. I hope that I'll be prepared to take the AP exam in May!
Awesome Boss That’s amazing I’m doing the same thing because my school doesn’t offer it until senior year.
That’s a smart idea my friend!
I'm doing the same thing only with ap calculus ab
All the Best man for your learning
@@coldmayorelish6466 Awesome! Which resources are you using? I'm learning from the online Udemy course "Decoding AP Computer Science A." I may purchase the Barron's or Princeton Review prep book as well.
@@AB-sr4xd look up reddit communities for your desired ap class - in this case, computer science. It's good for free online material and you can ask any questions you'd like and most likely someone will answer your questions.
4:47 It would be wonderful if you could make a video about why college is worth it :)
Your videos are the most helpful ones I have ever watched...i truly enjoy watching them thank you so much😊
4:57 Did anyone else catch that "wee" flying around ahaha
Helen G. What do you mean?
Hanna Stocks there was a small text that flew behind John in the background lol
This is one of your best videos yet John, superb stuff!
Love this John :) We do are brought up with a negative association with learning in our free time.
yes one should read book ,learn, do.......But the thing i learn most from your videos is how to sell things.... thanks for inspiring
Really out of all of your videos that I loved them all this one hit me hard! Nailed it.
SUCH an inspirational video! Reading and learning for fun is the best part of my day, every day.
Hi John, I know this is a video from a while back but I just wanted to say - I really agree with what you said about committing to something everyday like building a project or learning. But the question I keep asking myself lately is, should I take the time to learn about as many of my interests as I can or just focus on ONE thing long-term that I’m most enthusiastic about and build a great project around it. I wondered what you’d say about that. Anyways, loved this video, I hope you’re doing great.
watching you makes me wanna be more productive. i need more book recommendation
I'm from Saudi Arabia, I love your channel and I watch videos continuously, take many hearts💜💜💜💜💜💜

Oh, I enjoy 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. It's really a fantastic book. Lewis Carroll is an outstanding author.
I think instant gratification is what's holding some back. Being able to think long term and understand the benefits to be reaped by consistent small chunks of progress really pays dividends. Though I have a theory that humans are terrible at thinking long term, as historically while we evolved, in terms of survival there was just no need to think long term.
Instead we generally seem to be attracted to attention grabbing shiny objects, like smartphones.
I'm a big proponent of consistency though. Took me far in sports, and it's doing the same with my studies. Wish I'd been able to think this way when I was younger.
My inspiration now come out. I need to learn English so well that i can listen to you and your brilliant ideas.
You're so inspiring. Thanks to you, I've started to improve as a person and I'm focusing on things that really make me happy. Greetings from Poland ♥
been waiting for this new video! glad your getting back John! keep up the great work, love the content.
Could you do a video on how you maintain your mental health on a daily basis? What gives you calmness and levity when life becomes hard and maybe, unbearable? I would very much love your perspective! 😊
Can't wait for your big announcement !! Love your content, so inspiring,you are for sure my favorite youtuber !!!
I wonder what the big announcement is?
@@LDFA1979 I am thinking maybe something about the book he is writting
Thank you so much John Fish! This is just what I needed to hear at the right time.
I want to go on a date with him, he is so sincere and adorable 😍
I dream for a husband like John! ❤
He has a gf already😂😂😂
Here is some water 💧💧💧💧 for you.
Me too! And I'm a straight male :D

Best video on TH-cam right here. Good luck with the next couple years John👍
You make learning fun, love it!
John, I have found learning for a job to be extremely disappointing. It's been 35 years since I received my MBA, and not only have I done no better than a permanent, fultime job requiring only a high school diploma, but it's boring routine. I don't know which is more frustrating: to be told I'm overqualified for a better position, or to have excuses thrown at me from moving up. My only pleasure has been learning, but the internet has been helpful in my updating my knowledge of courses I'd taken in high school (especially MIT OCW) and seeking knowledge I can use, such as Microsoft Office and the various computer programs. I am now at the point where I am trying to use what you've advised to advantage, so I can endorse your recommendations.
Hi Fish, today i was in a depressive mood, my life in this moment it`s not the best and in just feel exhausted and dull with myself. However i found your videos, and just feel like slap. what i needed in this moment to wake up and think on me.
Sometimes it`s hard see the brigth side .
thank you.
(sorry if my writing it`s not the best, i learn english step by step).
