    I am a step father to a 16 year old. Whenever his mother gets concerned about his future, I continuously reinforce to both of them the successful qualities he already has. He is a problem solver, he has a motor, he has a passion that fuels his desire to learn, and he retains knowledge very well. I do whatever I can to feed his positive passion for technology. I enjoy watching him take on a challenge, research it, use trial and error, get frustrated, look at it from other angles, and finally solve it. You spoke about momentum in another video as it relates to customer loyalty. I am so proud of how my step son continues to add to his abilities when it comes to his passion.

    Louis it's Oct 12, 2020, in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic and I had a really shitty day and stumbled across your video. One of those days where I'm just kicking the shit out of myself and focusing on all the negatives in life, without much hope and it's like a black cloud has been over my mind and life all day today. And then I watched this video you made over 6 years ago.
    I'm floored. It's exactly what I needed to hear. I can't thank you enough. Not only for what you do to help people and champion the "right to repair" movement but also for being so open and honest about your own life, the struggles you and your dad went through and how you guys just kept on trying to make meaningful changes in your life.
    It's really hard to overstate how appropriate this was for me to hear today and how much it's helped me. Thank you seems like such and insignificant thing but I say it from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU! I pray that you and your father continue to find success in all aspects of your lives. Thank you again for all you do!!!

    Great video. I was a teacher and I was considered a nuisance because I refused to treat children like souless robots. I had to constantly reiterate that I am not going to tell a kid to do something "because I said so". I took the time to explain the WHY and reasoning behind it. They fired me based on "a difference in philosophy". Ironically they fired me the same day I planned to resign. Either way good riddance to those idiots.

      Horrible mindset. There is nothing wrong with a respect for authority. You should give an explanation because you are a teacher, but a student refusing to cooperate until you justify your authority to their scrutiny teaches them that they are the boss, that the world revolves around their approval.

      I was going to make the same comment, only difference is I'm 56. I should get better at looking at life ,weighing the difference between 'safe and less happy and stressed out', and 'less safe and much more happy, and stressed out'. For me the stress is pretty much always there ( working on it ), but in the latter case it's much more healthy, and actually may have a good purpose.

    I've always considered myself lucky that I've always rejected the idea that I should follow certain rules just because they are the rules. I've never seen the value or point in following rules I find stupid, pointless, un-beneficial, or even counterproductive. My parents were also like your Dad, they always gave me a good reason to follow their rules, they never made rules that had no point to them, there was always a sensible because behind it all.

So, I broke rules in silence, hidden so I wouldn't get screamed at. Nowadays, I've stopped hiding myself and my parents don't recognize me x)
      But I have nothing against them, it's how they think ! It's a culture thing sadly.

    We can’t thank you enough for sharing your wisdom with all of us. Scumbags of the word are speaking lies and charging/stealing money from millions of people.
    Thank you so very much Louis!

    Talking about the relationship about education with your dad i think it goes on the right spot about what education should be... i remember one christmas (when i was a child arround 6-8 years old) i was doing very bad at school and my dad was very very angry about it, so he was planing to sit with me and helping me to do my homework but it wasn’t that way.... when i was just writting a wrong word in my exercise book he slap me in my neck and the reaction about that was just a lot fear and sadness... was a very bad and hard experience for me and i still remember the wrong words that i used to write, and the sadness that i was having from the begining of the day to the end, and i think it just was a failure in my life and the way he treated me in that time, later on when i was a teen i was smoking weed, and i face my dad telling him why he do that to me in the past, and he was telling me because he was treated in that way when he was a child, i honestly think that is not a good excuse about why he do that to me, you should know that education changes and when you are educating your son/daughter you should have always a good relation ship with them. Thank You Louis.

    Louis Rossmann, I recognise a lot of this. Your dad left at the time he did not because of his age but because of yours. Had he left when you were younger he would not have been able to take you with him. Everything he put up with he put up with to keep you in his life. I am glad he is now enjoying his life and you are still part of it and I am glad that you are being successful and have came out of a childhood that was marinated in conflict with resilience and the belief you can achieve the unachievable because you watched your dad do it every day. I came to your Chanel because I have a messed up MacBook, but I am getting so much more from it than board repair. Thank you !

    I know this is an old video, but I can relate with you talking about your mom, and how when you two moved out you finally found your peace. Except in my case, it was the other way around. My mother was a weak-willed woman who didn´t have it in her to leave for many years. When she finally did, I remember feeling relaxed for the first time in a long time. Growing up in that environment where they´re always arguing and where someone is always putting you down, it has it´s effects on you. I remember needing to hear what they were saying, putting my ear up to the door. I appreciate your videos on these topics, even though I have no interest in repairing motherboards, I like hearing from you. I think about these things a lot, even though I´m too young and not in the right place to have children, I think if I ever have children (and I do want to), I will be very conscious of how I raise them up.

It's not handling people with kid gloves, it isn't always being nice and sometimes it's just coarse. But from what I can tell for the most part it's all truth. Tony Robbins don't have shit on you, keep it coming!
