I am a retired teacher who taught for 38 years. I have taught English on every level from 6th grade to Graduate School. I have never encountered a student or teacher who explained how to learn better than you. I applaud your message. I wish I had this video to share with my students. Thank. You !
I too am a teacher and I’m now looking at ways of developing my skills that will incorporate how learning actually happens and that I’m going to change my pedagogy so that I can enable my learners to own their work . I found your (Samuel) video to be exceptional
U r the teacher.
So like you wanna write my essay sometimes😂
You do now 👍
Teachers are gods❤️🙏🏻
A filmmaker, A motivational speaker, A teacher, A student, iPad ambassador, A TH-camr, An Editor, STEM expert, ETC. damn you're truly talented.
Don't forget artist!
And soon to be Doctor!
IQ and an organized workflow = magic
@Mystic.i right, I have the feeling other people keep telling themselves others can only accomplish those things because they have talent. With that they are telling themselves they couldn't possibly achieve it without it - there are other reasons why he accomplished those things that other people can have as well. Determination, hard work, etc.
@Mystic.i everyone can have skill, but not everyone can have talent, and that's what makes it so special.
"I'd prefer the struggle of learning, over the shackles of studying." -Samuel Suresh
That's some spicy quote right there.
Very Spicy
Deep!
Simple but damn this man is 1 in a Billion
“But it was my cell, and that’s what mattered.” Love it!
Yeah, I agree xD
For all of those saying that they don’t have an iPad,
I think that the message that Samuel is saying doesn’t require an iPad.
All you need is a way to learn that YOU can connect with.
OWN YOUR LEARNING.
Whether that’s an iPad Pro, iPad Air, notepad and pen or even an etch-a-sketch, as long as you’re breaking things down and building it back up, as long as you’re learning and not studying, THAT’S the secret here.
Every individual learns differently.
It doesn’t and never will matter what device YOU have, as long as you have a method that works for YOU.
Exactly. He could have drawn that cell on paper and it would have done the same thing! :)

@@the_magnified u can take notes by ur smart phone too, watch this video on how I take notes effectively on my smart phone...hope it helps

Mahadsa Boro I understand what you’re saying, and of course you need resources to create something. But in this case, it’s about learning, not having a machine powerful enough to edit 4K video footage on!! Learning is one of the most basic and primitive necessities of us as humans, and we were noting things down long before pen and paper, look at cavemen and how they used to draw on their walls!! Just because it may be easier somewhat to create notes on the iPad, the difference between machine and paper is minuscule when you think about it. My comment is about how it’s not a necessity to own an iPad to learn, but as Samuel says, you need to own YOUR learning. If it’s easier for YOU then by all means go for it!! But it’s not a requirement.

This guy needs a ted talk.
Agree!!!
exactly
Yes he does !
Agree
100% agree
“I don’t need to study, I learned it.” YESSSSSSSSSS 🙌🙌🙌
When I felt proud of him when he said that🙌
“I was rewarded for regurgitation, not learning” this is best quote I’ve ever heard because it’s so relatable!
Please don't ever stop making these videos! They are INCREDIBLE and so appreciated! THANK YOU
It’s so sentimental and his editing skills are over the roof !!!
I need to watch it again
“I’d prefer the struggle of learning, over the shackles of studying.” -Samuel Suresh
When this dude becomes famous, this quote will probably become his most wide known quote
I already printed it out and put it on my cork board. :)
Oh it’s his quote ! I thought it was a famous writer one 😅 !
Now that is a quote for any school to have on their grounds.
"It was a dumb cell diagram
But it was mine
And that's what's matter"
This is soo deep👍
I literally went out and bought an iPad Pro right after just watching this 😂
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
plot twist: he's actually a film major.
thats why his videos are so well put together
😂🤣🤣
All the medicine stuff was a lie
I'm wondering if he really wanted to study film or media but his family made him study medicine instead. So making these amazing videos is his way of coping :) What a talent! Don't stop Samuel- these videos are great! Doctors are a dime a dozen but good visual communicators are a very special breed :)
I did not notice that I'm watching a 20minute video. Damn, this is the first time I watched a 20 minute straight and learned a lot.
I'm not even a student anymore.
I would say I'm a learner😀
loool i just go up to check if you right its 20min '' how!!!'' ooh it run fast man i really loved it
I actually noticed it after I saw your note...
@@DEnlightenedThinker You were not alone.
Wtf i thought the video ist 5 minute long
Is it just me or does it sound like he is about to say something absolutely revolutionary at the end of every sentence.
You’re honestly the most motivating person when it comes to anything. I can literally put your words in my life and the aspects to it. Studying was something I lost control of and had no direction on what to do but with your videos I understand what I should do. So thank you, I’m gonna put it all into my first year of college.
@starre8944 So, how did it go?
This should be required viewing for every single student upon entering college. (And why isn't Apple sponsoring this???) Thank you so much for taking time to create this insightful masterpiece. This is the last term of my first year in college. I am a non-traditional (older than average) student. If only I had seen something like this 4 terms ago, I may very well have a 4.0 GPA at this point. I have spent almost this entire time just "studying," trying to simply absorb enough information to "get the grade." It is in this moment I realize how little I have actually learned thus far. I will carry your message through the rest of my journey to a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science. :)
Aw, good for you!
I started studying at the age of 52 years and Samuel Suresh you saved the day with your note taking videos.
Happy learning dear friend
Dear Samuel. Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for you and this video that you made. 20 minutes of your heartfelt message help me release 46 1/2 years of anguish. I literally cried for a half hour. You see, I come from an uneducated family and the pressure to perform was so great that learning isn’t even on the radar. Scores, results, money, position, prestige...not once did my parents ever care about what I learned. In fact, I was so pressured into getting grades, I actually was illiterate until the 5th grade. Why? Because I was studying and I knew how to pass tests.
Learn violin! Why? So you can be smarter. Why? So you can earn more money! Go into business school! Why? So you can earn more money! And, after watching your video, I realized why I was so down to the point I tried to take my life 3 times. I had information but I never felt like I learned anything. My curiosity was always stopped. My imagination always ridiculed. God bless you Samuel. This was a huge breakthrough for me and I applaud you for your efforts here on TH-cam and elsewhere. Man, this is like a breath of fresh air. Best video on TH-cam.
So sorry to hear about everything you said, I pray that you get much more success with lots of learning experience! And may it be a very fulfilling journey
This guy needs to be at the next Apple product launching event...
Yeah. He talks like Apple
apple should hire you for their marketing department dude :D
The probably allredy did 😁
You are so right
Right, exactly! Make me wanna buy an iPad now to study with lol.
I got the iPad first and now I want to know how to study with it
Samuel, I’m 37 years old. I hated school. I didn’t obtain any qualifications and I’ve been thinking about that lots recently. Your videos have pushed me to do something that I have been thinking about for a long time, which is to study law. The reason you’re responsible for giving me the push is that I have never had learning explained by anyone the way that you have. Thank you for the content brother, I’ll be an avid subscriber.
I’m so glad to hear that
I was born in Carlisle but I was made in the the royal navy 😔✊
@@SamuelSuresh Do you use a screen protector on your iPad that enhances your writing ? I'm wondering because I just got an Apple pencil and writing on the glossy surface doesn't feel quite easy.
@@tobiadeniji6630 Yes. I believe he uses Paper Like. It is very popular. Check it out.
I don’t know if you’ll be a teacher or a professor in the future or not, but if you do, I just make sure that you’ll be the best, and your students are the luckiest. Not only do the students get knowledge from you but also something even more precious and priceless. You gave me a huge motivation and thank you.
I’m deeply grateful for this video. I’m dyslexic, so it puts a whole new meaning into the "struggles of learning", but your words have inspired me to keep trying, to find passion in learning, and to see beauty in knowledge. I hope you could teach me your way of seeing the world, and making sense of so much information.
The whole point of his video is - you have to own your own dyslexic way of seeing the world and make sense of information. His ways may not work for you. You can take his way, and make it your own. Fellow dyslexic here btw, also ADHD. It's tougher for us, but the core message still applies. Good luck!
"Instead of receiving education, you can take ownership of it. Instead of complaining, you can take responsibility. Instead of studying, you can begin to learn."
this is the kind of video that you encounter once in a lifetime and it just changes your mind completely. i needed this so bad. thank you. wishing all the success in the world to you. hugs from a brazilian subscriber!
I’m so glad it helped
Needed this. I failed my first semester of nursing twice: one in the summer and again, the following fall semester. I would read and memorize. I needed to find a new way to study and formulate a way of actual learning not just regurgitating. I love how this video was relatable in every way.
When my teacher teaches me about cell, I hate it
But when it's you, I just love learning about it
Thank You Samuel
U inspire me to be more productive and make more of my time.

Hey, I’m a student and I absolutely lovee your channel. The cinematography, content and character is all beautiful to see. I was wondering about how you edit and also how you write over your videos (this looks really dope). Could you please do a video on this? I’m hoping to start a channel on TH-cam when I start University and would really appreciate any sort of advice, especially from you. Keep doing you, this is great!🤟🏾❤️
I’d be really interested to see this come to fruition as well!
Represent all of my thoughts
Yes I would be interested in this too! Please do it!
Yes this sounds like a great idea!
yes
I was an unemployed graduate struggling with self destructive thoughts regarding my intellectual capability back in 2019-20. When I saw your perspective on learning through this video in 2020, I was dumbstruck. Your efforts changed my life.
At present, I have cleared a financial exam with low pass rates and I am going to get a distinction in my Masters degree in Computer Science. And in the process of owning my learning , I realized the immense potential that I had kept inside me unharnessed.
Thanks Samuel. You have no idea of the intangible gift of perspective which you have given me.
I watched this video for the first time during quarantine, 3 years ago. I'm a 30y old woman and small company owner and was stuck at home, not planning on doing anything since my business can't be done through online shopping or internet. While trying to distract myself I randomly came across this video. It shook me to my core, I realised that I had never learnt to study, always kind of hated the school system even though I've always been extremely curious about many topics.
I went through high school, graduated without honors but having studied for about 1 month prior to the exams and never actually set foot in class. I just hated the environnement, being told how, what and at what rate to learn. I'm a deep learner, I was never able to just learn what was taught without a deeper understanding. As you can imagine, this didn't set me on the path of thinking I'd do well in medecine. My classmates that had graduated with curiculums heavy in sciences all failed, I majored in languages and philosophy. There was just no way back then (12 years ago) that I could even conceive of trying medecine, it was just for the other humans, the people that feel like a different species. I bit my tongue in envy, hurt, and regrets everytime someone mentionned med school since then.
I thought about leaving a comment a few times before but I decided to wait and be able to at least tell you I had achieved a tangible footstep in the right direction. Since this video, I got an Ipad, Pencil, applied to med school (Im from France, you can apply straight outta high school) end got rejected the first year. I kept running my business and studying straight out of work, on weekends, holidays, the curiculum that was required prior to the application, med schools want people that have some understanding of chemistry and biology etc, I hadnt been in school for 11+ years and didnt study those topics.
This year I got in, barely, received my acceptance 48h before the semester started. Nobody would ever have bet on me to do it, not even me.
I received my results from the 1st semester earlier this weekend, for my particular class there are 27 spots available to get to 2nd year.
I ranked 6th out of 360 applicants.
I finally feel like I can accomplish something in my life, I have hope, drive and wonder for the very first time.
And it's all because of you. You inspired me and for that I want to say "Merci Samuel". No matter the outcome, You have changed my life.
“It was just a simplified dumb down model of the cell. But it was my cell.” Self-actualization just went up a few levels. ☺️
I’m a student in secondary school and I couldn’t agree more. I started watching your channel a month ago and learned a lot. My notes are beautiful, and I understand everything I wrote. You kind of inspired me to make my life better and I thank you for that. I totally agree with the punishment part, I’m not rewarded for being curious, and thank you for making me feel good about my curiosity. Thanks Samuel.
Thank you Samuel for reminding me why I love learning! I’m getting ready to start PhD school and this is the time I’m going to own my learning! It’s a beautiful thing you speak of, learning, it’s a lifelong task and struggling makes it even more beautiful! One of my favorite channels on YT by far!
I'm 50 now and I failed miserably when I was at school. It wasn't because I was dumb, it was because I had too many questions. To start with, teachers saw me as a disruption, leading to physical punishment like the strap (try doing that these days), eventually I just started to switch off. I wish back then there were people like you that understood that we all have different ways of learning. It didn't turn out all bad though. When computers were available in the 1980's I realised that all my questions and curiosity could be useful and learning computer code became a form of art for me. Today I have a great, well-paying job that I love, but I truly regret not having an education. Your videos are inspiring me to think about it again. I don't think it's ever too late to start learning. Thank you, I think your videos will change people lives.
It was so deep that I had tears in my eyes. You explained in a unique way the pain I felt when I was studying at the university. I was punished for learning. Please Samuel continue creating movies (because they're not just TH-cam videos) because they are AWESOME and so deep.

I thought i was the only one! I got misty eyed so many times throughout! Thank you Samuel!!
Is it just me that after watching this video, you will feel like restarting your whole education life all over again. But now feeling a lot more motivated with his techniques and maturity.
Kenneth Tay yes!! Hopefully going to actually learn something in school when we go back instead of memorising everything...
Exactly how I feel! I learned nothing in school overall, though I love going to school. I Pride myself as well on getting good grades that it became a game and like sports, if I did not succeed...I was fustrated and hard on myself. I'm learning self-taught education is the best way to learn because you have the control to actually enjoy your learning vs. being forced or held up to these conditioned standards. I am thankful for all this resources to learn endless materials! 📚💡🙌🏾
I really want to thank you for this video, I've been struggling for years trying to get better in school, I have gotten bad grades most of the time and only sometimes getting a good report card. I'm always thinking and exited to learn but that excitement lowers over time especially when I'm in like the 3rd quarter of the 1st semester of school. But after seeing this video I feel more motivated to learn, your videos genuinely help me learn about what makes learning fun and how to implement this into school. I'm still in the 1st semester of 10th grade and I only have 2 years left until I go off to college, but now that I seen your channel you have better equipped me with knowledge that I can use for the rest of my high school years and for my college years. So I'll say once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for opening my eyes to something that will truly help me and others out with their journey to learning.
When it comes to learning, you’re the most inspirational person I have ever listened too. Probably the only TH-camr who I can watch/listen for hours with out loosing interest. It’s something about your videos that makes me not want to click off, if that makes sense! With all sincerity and from the bottom of my heart thank you for your words. I’m looking forward to all the videos you create in the future!🤍
Thank you Keily
I've seen millions of Self-Help videos and all. But this made sit through the whole video without skipping a beat.
You did 3 things.
1. Market the iPad Pro which was on par with Apple Standards.
2. Stellar Motivational Speaker
3. Finally, some eye-opening points about what "studying" is and how "Learning" is different from "Studying".
Kudos to you man.
Genuinely thank you. I needed to be pulled out of this negative headspace I’m in and during this entire video, especially towards the end, I felt like you were really speaking to me. I’ve forgotten why I love school and why failing is actually part of the whole process. I lost sight of why I’m putting myself through university but you just reminded me that it’s because I love to learn. That’s it. Thank you ❤️
As a student I want to thank you I was lost with the ways I was studying because they simply didn’t work but now because of you and your channel I found my way and it really helps me.Thank you!
In india i completed my high school and along with that my undergraduate program and i can assure you no one absolutely no one is learning not even our teachers have learned anything. All they are doing from their end is completing the syllabus everyday and from our end we are just using that to earn good grades. You have found the solution to the problem i had for the life that i lived and i request you to do more and more.
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️
Thanks for making India so proud by this comment.
@@anjalisingh9099 wtf don't try to make patriotic comments like this This is the worst one can expect from you
I felt this on a spiritual level
@@anjalisingh9099 don't act like a ultra nationalist, we all know what kind of schools and teachers we have in india .
I second this comment. We need inspirations like samuel in India. ❤️ from Mizoram
This guy is revolutionary....Huge respect!
You speaks my heart man! Really indeed a motivational video of what I've been going through in my university and got criticized by my friends and lecturers for not being able to regurgitate in the exams.. but at the end of the day I learn things and I can apply it compared to most of my friends.. Truly from my heart, you'll be a great teacher one day! My blessings with you🙏🏻
Tell me why i teared up? This makes me soo excited for this fall. I struggle so much with studying but I’m going to attempt to just focus on learning it and enjoy the material being taught to me
Hi Samuel! I found your videos earlier this year, and I fell in love with your content. 🤩
At first I thought that your goal was to promote how amazing the iPad Pro was for school by making cool cinematographic videos about it, but this video really changed the game for me. I’m currently in High School, but this really has helped me see things differently.
You really are an inspiration for me, not just as a student, but as a first-class content creator. I really want to create content like yours, not to copy your style, but in the meaningfulness and the heart and soul that you put into each of your videos.
I hope you continue to do what you do because you are a huge example for all of us. Thanks so much! 🙌🏻❤️✨
21 years of my life including 3 years of med school, I could never realise i was studying all this time and not learning!
Found your videos while looking for videos on note taking on the ipad. I’m 38 and just taking a plunge and learning and brand new skill to start a business. I’ve always been fascinated on what it would have been like to go through the education system now, with this added technology. You’ve articulated both the limited education learning process, and how to conquer it beautifully. Can see you haven’t done any videos for a while, but I hope to see more because these are a real gem 👍
The start to the video you might has well been reciting my reaction from going to high school to college and realizing everything you did before was not going to work. I was taught to test, not to learn. I'm getting better at it but you put it into words and you actually gave me ideas on how I can learn better. So thanks!
I've never felt this compelled to like and comment on a video. Its so clean and the content is amazing. I've personally gone through the exact same thing in school. Thank you for the video
Anjali Thank you
Homeboy could make me love learning a subject I'm not even interested in or care about, and I'd attend the classes happily.
I was perusing the internet doing exactly what you spoke about - looking for ways to better study...but after watching this video, the hours that I have spent looking at someone else's version of study - I now understand on a fundamental level that I have been blindly going through the motions. Not learning - at all. I'm ashamed of myself. But no more. You've inspired me. I can't express just how much. If you wanted to touch just 1 person with your words today - don't fret - your job is done.
I loved this video when I tripped over it at the beginning of the year. I just started a new course and was feeling overwhelmed, questioning whether to stick with what's "expected" or take a deep dive down the rabbit holes I'm most interested in and fully engage with what I find there - the learning from which seems to stick so much more effectively. I suddenly remembered those three little words and took a study break to watch it again. I remembered why I'm doing the course in the first place, so rabbit holes it is! Thanks Samuel, I loved your video just as much this time around as the last. I'm back off to the books to OWN MY LEARNING!
Damn. I was feeling so overwhelmed from math so I took a break to watch your video and for some reason it made me cry. Especially when you have ADHD and you have to battle it, it's so tough. Thanks for the video! Totally needed this.
what you said is so true... I've had professors that wanted us to write his exact words in the tests, when in fact you can only learn by using your own words...
Very true but with on of my professors he did this in Macro for his definitions of terms. But he told us if there is any better way to word them and actually explain someone all that term might mean he is the first one that wants to hear it.
Not rly as a smart ass but as in his definitions where actually very good and ditched the book fluff I learnt so much and he reinforced that we got to actually learn which meant looking dumb asking dumb questions getting lost etc and eventually you got nowhere else but to learn it right.
You have described me exactly in how I feel about school and studying. I always hated studying for test. I 100% agree that in my experience I was regurgitating information for the test, while never truly absorbing the information. This video has been so helpful to me; it has encouraged me to put a stronger emphasis on learning rather than simply memorizing things. Thank you!
I just found your channel and my life is now changed! You’re so inspirational- keep doing what you’re doing! THANK YOU!
Omg your school experience sounds like it was literally the exact same as mine: would really love assignments, tried super hard to make visually appealing and connective notes but have them actually be a waste of time and then being disappointed when you didn’t get the marks you felt you deserved given the amount of creativity invested into “soaking up” that content. Thank you for this really great vid. One of my main reasons for investing in an iPad Pro is for vids like this that make my creativity in note taking feel validated, and turn in into productivity that’s actually useful. Thank you
I was emotional after this vid, because u taught me how to learn before coming to unversity or college.
Best speach.
Lucky u i am in my 5th year
Samuel, Tbh i have been watching TH-cam for like 8 years but only liked about 12 videos in total including yours. The way you explained everything and how you evaluated every aspect, I couldn’t help but be amazed the whole time through out the video. Sometimes it felt like a professional iPad commercial at times. Before watching this video i thought this was gonna be another typical “ipad learning” type video. But then i was really surprised and excited when i saw that you were representing the story like a movie. Its overall really really organised and perfect video.
I am still a student and I take notes on the ipad mini 5. But what I understood is that people don’t actually need an ipad pro or they can even roll with a sketch book or a notepad. Tools are just for helping the “learning process”. The main thing is understanding and learning how to do it and it can be done on any device or any types of physical text books.
Thanks a lot for making this video. I am sure this video has helped a lot of persons. And I also rarely subscribe youtube channels but you have earned a sub man. Never stop making these types of videos and also I also got goosebumps at times by watching the way you expressed yourself and gave motivational speech throughout the whole video. Thanks man really appreciate your videos a lot.
Man... This video... The sound, the music, the image, how you talk, all of that, it reminded me when I was in a sort of theatre watching a documentary about stars, and really your video is as interesting and fascinating and useful as that documentary was. Thank you.
You have taught me something in this video. Before I started High school I always got good grades. I never really studied and I easy understood the content. But now that I think about it; even though I got good grades I never really learned anything really. I remember parts of what I learned but I didn’t really learn it. I learned in all of my classes except history and science.
Fast forward to when I started high school; I started to complain a lot because the teaching system and the learning system was different. And my brain and I had gotten so used to just getting good grades without trying that I started to fail. Even until now I still haven’t succeeded. I would complain about how the teachers taught; and how the information was being distributed. But now that I’ve watched your video I have realized that The problem wasn’t with the teachers but it was with the way I was learning the information. For me what I would do is the teachers would give us notes and I would just copy them them and then I never look at them ever until like we have a quiz. At my school the teachers don’t really have lectures where they talk to you and try to explain the information. The information is given to you online and it is your job to learn it and to understand it and to be prepared for a test. My whole life I only studied so I could pass; and I never really even studied a lot. But Iam not mad that I pretty much failed this year; because I now know that I need to own my learning. I should focus on understanding other than studying for the test.
You have truly inspired me Samuel; and now it’s my turn to OWN MY LEARNING.
Thank you 🙏🏾🙂
You were punished for learning.
You were punished for mistakes.
😭
Still hurts me.
Are u from India
Me too😭😭😭
@Archer how can I advice u I am grade 8th😫😫
@Archer thanks for ur bio
You give me so much hope and a better perspective for making it through nursing school. You are extremely passionate and honest about what you say and want your viewers to know. The ending made me shed some tears. You are helping and changing lives and I thank you so much 💗
Iam actually still a student in school in my final year and I am scared of struggling in the upcoming exams. This video and the one where you talk about asking questions to learn, really oppened my eyes and had me thinking about the way work as a student. Iam really thankful for your videos you really showed a way out of a deep hole I hadnt realised I was in. Thank you so much, and never lose the passion you have for what you are doing because you truely are amazing at what you do :)
"Mom... Dad. I'm changing my major." Samuel is awesome! I can definitely see you as an educator.
Every time I click on his videos I feel like I’m seeing a Netflix trailer on someone finding out themselves
Omg 😭😭🥺 idk what happened but this was recommended in my feed so I clicked this video. It’s a god send message to me during the time I’m struggling. You just mind blown me and all of sudden... for the first time in the past 17 years or so, I woke up with this new mindset just now. I can’t believe it. Once I see this video, I cannot go back 😂😭😭😭 omg thank you so much for changing my life. I agree with you 1000%. I just don’t know how to own my learning and as much as I do not like to admit because it’s humiliating, I don’t think I know how exactly to learn. I realized that my anxiety and my struggles with my studying strategies no longer apply because I had been doing it wrong. I shouldn’t have to punish myself for the wrong marks and the stress that brought up on myself because of the system. I need to own my learning but I do not know where to start...
The world needs this guy. The most empowering youtube video I've ever watched in my life. Thank you.
I feel like the message "Own your Learning" also means have fun while learning and as he said, it's because of Curiosity that we learn alot- I'm not College yet but I learned alot here!
Excellent, informative, creative, and so helpful in my learning journey. Thank you so much for this. At 57 I am still thrilled with the concept of learning and growing as a person, and I am very thankful to have come across your channel.
Thank you John
this makes me think of when we needed to read a book just to tell our class about it, an assignment that most people cheat on and never even read the book. I asked the teacher why its nessacary to do this and she told me that it's good for our vocabulary. I didn't agree with what she said so instead of reading a book and then telling class about it, I did 2 things. 1, I wrote a paper on why reading a book that's aimed at your age doesn't help improve vocabulary that much as compared to reading news articles about topics that you don't know as much about, and how it could further help develop a critical thinking skill by talking about/debating that article in class instead of just listening to someone talk about a book that you're never gonna read. the second thing I did was read a book and still present it to our class so that my teacher couldn't just say that I'm lazy. I asked her what she thought of my paper and she told me that she just doesn't care. That was the moment when I started to develop a hate towards our education systems and knew that if i wanted to spend my time being productive that school wasn't gonna learn me how to do that.
This video is so exceptional in so many ways! Your message is as timely as ever and you deliver it in a format that is extremely engaging. I really wish every student would watch this and start taking ownership of their own journey. But I don't think it ends there either. This feels relevant to each and every one of us when it comes learning throughout life. Because at the end of the day, that's what learning is all about: living life to the fullest. And you convey that beautifully here. I would love to contribute Portuguese subtitles to this video in order for it to reach even more people. If you'd be interested, do let me know!
Very high quality videos... And also that smooth voice.
You've got it.
When I was in my 10 school year, I was one of the few pupil who had the best reports. And before we got them, I thought I might not doing it right because it felt like The other students worked so much harder for the tests, much harder than me. All I said at that time was I rather understand about what is going on and forget about the details, than remember everything for only two weeks
I could not thank you enough for making this video. This is exactly what was on my mind and I never thought what I was thinking made sense. It’s hard to accept a lot of the things you’ve mentioned and I’m so happy YOU had said it all. Seriously the best video for study motivation and overall feeling understood when it comes to the education system!! Please make more videos like this. Love love the quotes that you’ve included
This video has really inspired me. I have never been the individual who tends to stick with one way of learning. For me sitting and thinking about a problem and imagining it is like carving a key slowly so that I can slowly find the answer. I remember sitting in my physics class and just thinking about the problem and the different aspects of it while my classmates just step forth into the problem. I loved the part where you showed a video of the animated cell because I watched the exact same video like 2 years ago when I was preparing for my science exam. I hope you continue to share other inspiring videos 💜
I really like you and your messages. You inspired me to want to learn after the disaster of college that I struggled through. I was tired of mindlessly “learning” and studying and always wanting to know what was on the exam. You’ve encouraged me to want to embrace learning again. It makes me want to be a smarter person.
I’m so glad to hear that
Thanks to you, I’ve reached a new level of respect that I’ve never felt before. I love to learn, specially something I like. And I want to say as a student, as a person, an individual. That you have become one of the people in my life that I look up.
I have been watching youtube videos for more than 10 years, and I have never comment a video before now. Samuel, you are absolutely INCREDIBLE! The way you express yourself in your videos are so reflecting and down to earth. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Norway:)
I bought an iPad just so I could watch Netflix while on my running machine during a particulary harsh lockdown in Chile. (No exercise outside at all). I also decided to study some GCSE's that I had failed on in school, I'm 49 now.... I soon gave up studying for exactly the reasons in these videos, that my note taking was just copied from textbooks, I didn't remember any of it and was bored easily. Now, more than a year on, having not picked up a single textbook, your videos have inspired me to stop watching Netflix and start studying using the diagrams and colours and fun ways of getting my creaky brain to start wherring again! Thanks so much... I wish you could be my doctor, you are one of the most enthusiastic, articulate people I have ever seen....
First time watching your videos right after it got uploaded.
Just finished the video, and I totally agree with the statement that the education system crushed curiosity. I’m terrible and bio because of the memorization. I’m bad at remembering things exactly and that’s what my teacher wants. I almost failed finals because of the memorization.
I’m a teacher that, after finishing my studies became an ICT-admin. The message you’re sending here is what learning is all about! I encountered it in my studies and, because I believe in curiosity, it’s something I encounter in my work every day. I really love this video because you explain it so simple and clear. Keep making videos like this, I hope you will inspire more and more people!
Man for real, You are an artist......You have real talent in cinematography....I have not seen any youtuber covering these topics with the quality of you. Your music, you script....the sounds, the pictures.....just wow....Ali Abdal, Frank, they dont event come close to your level. I hope your channel grows a lot more you deserve it.
Everyone who chooses to continue their education should adopt this mindset and everyone who chooses to teach should adopt this mindset. I would love to be in a classroom environment where both are present. Great video Samuel!
Such a simple and clean video but at the same time, a masterpiece, for me, at least. Thanks a lot for sharing this with such a sentimental way. It's was nice to watch and fell motivated again.
Thank You
Okay I feel like someone who was sleeping for 11 years... And suddenly woke up.
-thank you from the core of my heart !
I would remember you and your channel all my life !
Okay this causes me to cry , thanks ! ❤️
I Love your channel man, I've felt this all the way from elementary. I am going to enter my first year of university now and your videos have heavily inspired me to keep learning the way I do it. I never fell to that dogma of sit and read the same shit over and over. I always had to understand something instead of just repeating the same words in my head over and over till I got to the exam. I Hope you continue your youtube channel and wish you the best in the future!
just started college 4 years late and your videos have been more encouraging than anything else atm. thank you
Yes! The first time I felt that I truly grasped and learned a concept was when I had to make a presentation on a sub-topic of biology in first year and taught it to a small group of my classmates, and I got an A on the midterm that covered that material I was so shocked! Between your videos and Ali Abdaal's I've really changed the way I think about learning
I love when you're revising something and it just clicks and makes soo much sense
The level of dedication for these videos man... it’s incredible and really shows your passion. I’ve been debating if getting a laptop or an iPad Pro pro for college and this video really just made me choose. After 4 months of watching different laptop and tablet videos.
After spending two years searching for videos of how to learn and after watching others youTuber videos . This is by far
The most complete , comprehensive
Video that help me takes my studies to the next level. Thank you for sharing.
This is AMAZING..!!
Damn! This video kinda reset my perspective towards learning. I still remember when I learned by asking questions and literally felt and share my curiosity with everyone in my class by asking questions and making others ask questions in order to learn. However, I lost it in the dogma of "studying".
Today as I watched this video, I feel like really get learning and own it.
Thank you Samuel, keep up the good work!
Thank you. Your words remember me that I’m not the only one who struggle with this problem and at the same time it gives me motivation. I hope that you too will get back the help you are giving to us.
You literally have bo idea how your words are changing my perspective. In every single video I feel that I understand life better. You are amazing!
I’ve been using TH-cam since 2009. I’ve never made a comment on a video till today. Samuel you are something special my friend.
You so eloquently inspire your audience to become passionate about their learning by creating beautiful videos with profound messages.
I appreciate your content greatly. Keep doing you!
