This makes me wonder about how many incredible, talented individuals we never got to see on the big stage. Those who quit just a little too early, those who didn't think they were good enough, those who couldn't afford to keep going after their dreams.
Well, for every Al Pacino or Gary Oldman or whomever there are probably thousands of unknown actor who are or could be just as good. The thing is we don't need a thousand Al Pacino, we only need one..
Yep. I've heard the saying that right when you're about give up...or when you actually give up, that's when you get the answers you've been waiting for. *Never give up!!!!!*
Me either. Pro tip: be your own biggest cheerleader, and understand that there are people you don't even know rooting for your success just because... You can do it!

In the moment of feeling like quitting, just take enough step and see what’s around the corner, if it’s big congratulations, if it’s nothing then take a break and come back stronger 🙏
Please please don’t give up. This happened to me in college I lost the internship I wanted and instead got a externship that was so freaking great and they offered me a job because I even graduated. If I knew you I would buy you a coffee with my last 6 dollars just to talk you into a better mood because I know it’s coming for you.
@Jay M I've seen you in multiple comments spouting the same shit. As I said to another of your ilk, you make us all worse off for existing. No wonder you're telling him to give up, you've given up on yourself.
Makes me think about attraction park machines. One time I was trying to grab a toy, played and spent 10euros up until it was positioned just right, I tried one time, failed and went on to another. Some dude came and took it on the first try. I knew I had it but gave up after one fail. on the next machine I had to cut a line to get a toy. I almost cut it, but gave up because I couldn't handle the audience pressure and the thought about how I spent 7 euros already. Gave up for like no reason at all. Some dude came and finished cutting it on a first try... My fucking God, dudes, don't quit, especially when you already have put a lot of time and effort into something. Success is just around the corner.

"I'm not allowed to tell you to give up on your dream." This is so true, and it's also why so many people live in a fantasy that they can't get out of because no one is telling them the truth.
@@NT-fo3me I mean 2 years is a good time to struggle, and with that time in mind he is going to work harder to achieve then without any time limit he may fall slack. Also she didn't directly reject the idea but supported in a right way, so I felt that way
I feel you there. As an aspiring filmmaker and actress, I’m basically at that same point he talks about now. I’ve been at it for 7 years with no luck, and I’m not sure how much longer I can keep going if something doesn’t change either financially or creatively in my life.
@@Lady-Y yeah. I wanted to be an actor as a teenager. Did career prep in theatre. Took acting classes. Went to a screen acting school.

Moms make you scared of everything to pigeon hole you into a safe stable job - because it’s your mom and she wants you to stay safe and stable in her subconscious. And to her that means staying a baby. So don’t take it personally. Maybe ignore your mom on every topic or ghost her for a year including Christmas. She will break. Take the power back bro.
@@sportspokerguy3506 already have been living on my own for 15 years, but the mental s*** has already turned to subconscious beliefs that are with me for life
Thats crazy, however it's important to consider the opposite end of the spectrum. There are countless people out there in professions that require an incredible amount of luck to make it big (acting, music, content creation etc.), that never make it and continue to wait tables their entire life out of fear of "just missing out".
Remember this, this is one guy's success story. What about the million people who didn't give up, failed ultimately & wasted their lives? You won't even see their interview. So think about that.
@@Tooamazin yup!! Dude was really finna give up but he stayed a lil while longer. God's timing. He coulda left as soon as he said he was but he didn't. Everything will happen when it's supposed to happen.

@@jaylin6455 I hope you are trolling and you don't really just attribute everything to God. Take some responsibility in your life and appreciate the great things OTHER PEOPLE do for you and don't just think "God did it". The hundreds of thousands of religions that have been created have worshiped over a hundred thousand different gods they created. Why do you just blindly follow one and "believe" that just because you were brought up by religious people, you just happened to have fallen into the "real" one and the God that they created happens to also be real. You can't see him, you've never seen anything that even slightly points to his existence but you gotta "have faith" It's literally just a giant scam to get the higher ups rich, it's no more real than scientology. I know none of this will even reach you because you are obviously brainwashed to think that anything said against your faith is "the devil and his temptation" or some shit. I honestly feel bad for you, maybe you will realize it eventually but maybe leave your fairy tales as they are, just fairy tales written by people trying to start a cult to make themselves rich and famous.
Similar thing happened to me with job I desperately wanted but thought was passsed over for. Was ready to quit the day I got my promotion. Be mentally strong and don’t give up!

His "I'm done with this shit" attitude got him the office role lol
HAHAHAHA so true omg
HAHAHAHA so true omg
You can tell this is true in the way Jim stares at the camera when stupid stuff is done. It makes all the sense.
100%
There's actually something to that. You're more likely to succeed in an audition, interview, etc if you've "given up" because you're not as anxious
"Three weeks later I got 'The Office' ". Best ending to a story I've heard in a very long time
This makes me wonder about how many incredible, talented individuals we never got to see on the big stage. Those who quit just a little too early, those who didn't think they were good enough, those who couldn't afford to keep going after their dreams.
And those rejected due to nepotism.
Then are those stuck at home taking care of a parents illness knowing you can’t leave the house for even an hour.
Well, for every Al Pacino or Gary Oldman or whomever there are probably thousands of unknown actor who are or could be just as good. The thing is we don't need a thousand Al Pacino, we only need one..
And imagine the morons that keep telling them to give up.

If this is a thing.... why dont we give up sooner? Haha
So the moral of the story is to always be about to get up then you will get answers all the time haha
But if you never give up you’ll never get the answers? So give up!!!
No the answer is give up sooner then wade through that feeling for a month before actually giving up
never give up
never let down
never run around
