Say a plumber comes to your house to fix a blockage. He likes his job. He is passionate about it. He Is a good person. Yet Many of us won’t want to be in his place.

I agree too many people would rather settle with a job they hate their entire life or something they have little to no passion for. But I look up to the people will stick to what makes them happy and what they feel is successful
Given that there is an infinite number of realities, you most certainly ate a banana which somehow in a chain reaction of cause and effect made you a billionaire
Because you didn't eat that banana, that one human didn't say "You remind me of Donkey Kong my favorite game". You would have related to them, and they would have gotten you on a game developing project. The project would have taken off, and you both would have became rich. But you chose to eat the apple.
It's true.....I crashed my bike being drunk had an extra cranial impact i.e. no dysfunction of any kind to my memory and senses I thought I was reborn that day I drive very carefully now and don't go outside at any cost when you're drunk
Was it worse that he hit his head while drunk? I just hit my head really hard on the edge of a towel rack of all things, have this lump on my head for days
We wouldn’t think of him as a failure because we know his life story, but strangers perceiving him for the first time would almost definitely see him as a bit of a failure, especially if he mentioned his career. I’d say to call him a failure is definitely unfair but saying he’s failed at starting a career is perfectly correct.
Also as a side note calling anyone a failure is a.) Super mean, and b.) Probably incorrect, you don’t know anyone’s dreams but your own. Maybe that 60-year-old janitor seems like a failure, but on the weekends he plays in a band with a bunch of his friends and has the time of his life. You can’t measure a person’s worth from a first impression.

@Colin Rocco Many Americans deliberately avoid going to the doctor until they simply have to, in order to avoid ridiculous bills. American healthcare is shiiiiiiit for your average person.
You make a big deal about fame and fortune in this one. This video focused on all the externals: what other people think, how much success or money he had or didn't have, that outwardly, he appeared to be a failure. However, he did what he loved and did it until he died. We should all be so fortunate. When we follow our joy without regard to the outcome, it doesn't matter what timeline we are on.
I would argue that his motives for art was not internal but rather external. The video mentions multiple times that Frank found art to be an escape and comfort. It could be that he was a "failure" because art was the only thing he could use to avoid everyone who didn't believe in him and his low-paying job but because he lacked support from anyone, he became miserable and because he was miserable, his art suffered. A person needs support from multiple sources even if they have a career they love but they will still feel very much alone if they don't have that support. Frank was a product of his environment and in the main timeline, limited his opportunities because of his misfortune. It's easy to get into a hole and feel that no matter what you do, you can't get out. You often need someone to help you out of that hole before you realize you are even in it.
I’m an alcoholic, and this story hit me in a very poignant way. I myself have blacked out and awaken to injuries I couldn’t remember. I’m going to remember this story the next time I find myself having urges to drink. Thank you for this, this has given me some perspective I’ve been needing since covid made sobriety such a challenge
I drank daily unless I was on the wagon for over 20 years. I now have been sober 15 months and counting. If I can quit drinking, you can. Stay strong bro.
Well.... as Albert Einstein wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” I think this heavily applies here, he was judged on the fact that his art was not good and he was broke. But he was successful in his own way, he had focus and dedication to something that he loved doing, and I think sometimes that's enough! Lived a life his own way and didn't hurt anyone, says a lot about our society and how we measure success if that wasn't enough. When even criminals are sometimes looked up to and labelled successful if they are able to obtain wealth and power.
He was only successful if his art made him happy. If he was miserable because he couldn't sell his paintings, then he was indeed a failure. Not hurting anyome doesn't make you successful. Success doesn't mean you have to be rich. Success, IMO, means that you're happy with your life and what you made of yourself. It could imply being super rich, but it could very well just mean you had a family, and raised kids you're proud of, or you pursued your passion that actually made you happy. If his art made him happy, then he was successful. But if it made him miserable in every other part of his life, it's no different than an addiction.
joemann I can’t read the rest of ur comment but yea. The reason he thinks he is a failure is cuz at one point instead of doing it cuz he likes doing it he did it for recognition and money. If u get those things then it’s ok but that should not have been his drive
Yeah but the reason you are were you are is because of what you did not what you have to do. None of us have any purpose set out for ourselves unless you want to buy into one of the conveniently written religious texts.. What ifs are very important when self reflecting and when looking to the future.. So I'd recommend asking what if tbh
It's better to focus on the reason behind the decision than overthinking what could've been. You'll realize it makes sense, if you only look deep in yourself. You'll start seeing things that needs fixing.
It all happened, yet it never happened. A figment of possibility and the whole of reality. We have a choice every day on how we choose to live our lives as today is the only moment we will ever have. Live it fully, live it intently. We may never know the full outcome of our actions or what the larger picture is but in the words of Charles Bukowski “if you’re going to try... go all the way.” The endless depths and potential of what could be you in the complexities of quantum theory I think the most beautiful concept is that we can try, and only tragic when we cease to continue.

@@dxcember227 yes but there are failing serial killers, thieves or rapists. They need to watch this an change we all are villains in another's story but a villain is a hero in his own story.
These positive-go-get-your-dream talks seem wise and feel good to hear. But often lack a greater truth to life: simplicity and change. Life is change. And life is simple. Any person on a unyielding quest for greatness can block themselves from both simplicity and change. People should allow themselves to simple joys and change. It's okay to admit your dreams and desires don't have the same flavor as they did when you were younger. It's okay to fail. It's okay to seek a more simple life. It's okay to embrace change.
@Inside Heartz Unattainable expectations can lead to all sorts of mental anguish and disorders. Depression and anger are perfect examples of the natural by product. . So I say " it's okay to fail", because the statement itself is a cure. It lessens the harsh expectations people have for themselves. More people need to hear, it's okay to be normal. I think it's a crime to feed false hope. Not everyone wins. You cannot have 30 first place finishers for a race. So telling people they can fail is the most honest and caring thing you could do
Story of my life - anxiety, missing the perfect chance on accident or on purpose every time. Depression is an addiction. And I always wonder why I'm so unlucky, but actually I am more lucky than I realize. I just choose to make the wrong decision.
@@_Eric._ The realization that we're lucky but fail to make the right decision or never seize the opportunity is far more frightening than the notion of being unlucky.
@@_Eric._ there is no perfect chance and never will be what there is though is hard work and preparation, and when preparation meets opportunity you will have success. So even though it's foolish from me to say stop worrying to somebody that suffers from depression or anxiety, just try to do whatever will make your life better each and every day. Take care of your body, your mind and the people around you, try to progress in the areas of life that you value
We're always told of stories of people who succeed in life by following their passion no matter what it takes that we forgot those who did not succeed. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I might fail and that's okay
if you don't go for it you could miss out on a massive opportunity so it's better to take a risk than to sit back and do nothing and later regret not taking the risk
Your passion doesn’t have to be your career. You don’t have to make money off of your passion. You can work a job to support yourself/ whoever else and live comfortably, while still enjoying things you like doing. People need to understand this.
Thank you! I've been seeing the same few comments about how Frank was a failure because he wasn't popular. That's not entirely true. He was a failure, because he was so focused on his work that it was negatively effecting his life, and, to a lesser extent those around him. If he had kept to art as a hobby, he likely would have been in a better place not only mentally, but physically and socially.
The title reminds me of an incident that happened when I was vacationing in Malta in 2016. Vehicles travel in the same direction as they do in England. As an American, I found it confusing. Anyway, as I was crossing a street, I looked left and saw nothing, so I slowly and casually took a step onto the street. Meanwhile, a bus whizzed by me to my right, just inches from my face. If I had taken a step a mere 5 seconds earlier, that bus would have plowed into me, and based on its speed I would have been struck like a bug on the windshield. Life is not just about the choices you make, but when you make them.
Subham Swostik Pradhan that was just the ending action, if he didn’t get used to drinking after tens of times where he chose drinking instead of working, unlike most think we usually don’t reason when we take actions we just do as we always have been so no it wasn’t just one action
@@KevAlberta Sometimes, it's people who tell the story of time, not the other way round. It's about time, a heartbeat and a choice. It's about a place, time, and event all coming about together. ... And many other things. It's even overwhelming just trying to illustrate the point.
"The society always told me to get up and fight, get up and fight, to continue struggling but it never told me when to stop. If they've taught me this in school I would've been a different person by now." It's a quote by an Indian author named Khwampa and it describes the situation best

Interesting video, apart from the fact that he was constantly called a failure! Maybe that's more of an issue with society and the people around him? He seemed like someone who just minded his own business and worked on something that he loved, never hurt anyone apart from maybe himself from drinking too much. His only failure is that he didn't become rich? that's a very shallow way to measure success IMO!
That's true, there is no actual moral to this story. If Frank was happy painting what he wanted isn't that a great achievement ! To be happy in oneself regardless of what we percieve societies' perception of us might be. The universe doesn't really care.
Thats how a large amount of people do judge worth, though. It reminds me of something I read the other day: a person is smart, people are stupid - and i think it sort of applies, here. In a one on one, if you can tell your stories and experiences etc then most people will be able to find some good in you. But put 100 people in front of someone at once and itd be very unlikely that all of them would spontaneously decide they liked this one person. Doubts are amplified and can be spread between people with nothing more than a look. And so it is. A world full of nice enough people that become nastier when in groups and its simultaneously everyone's fault and nobody's.
This video spoke to me so much. I started crying midway through this video just due to how much I related to Frank. Everything from art being my outlet from being ridiculed as a child, called a failure as an adult, constantly contemplating whether I should quit, the fear that I'll die before ever accomplishing my goals, even the smaller details. My father told me to my face that he doesn't know how he could raise such a failure and my mother makes me lie about my occupation whenever I'm around her acquaintances. After Frank died I wasn't expecting a hopeful ending but I got one anyways so thank you for that. I really appreciate this video. Sometimes you feel like your situation is so particular and you feel very alone then you realize their are many others who share and relate to your story. I'll keep trying and hopefully I don't have a swelling in my brain lol. I did hit my head pretty hard years ago from a skateboarding accident and had complications ever since but I've been checked out many times and doctors always say I'm perfectly fine... just like Frank.
People only belive in you when you make it. Follow your dreams dont die with regret of not even trying at the end all those people dont even know what they want or what they're good at you should be the one felling sorry.
I used to worry and let videos like this put me into a period of existential crisis Now however I realized that each decision we make at every minute of our life will create an alternative possible timeline but we will ever only be able to experience one, the one timeline we are on when we make a certain decision. And one of the most important things in life is to be able to make right decisions and if it turns out to be the wrong choice, try to make this choice right. Allow things out of your control to just be, and things in your control, try to control them and make a decision today that will put you in a better place tomorrow
Formula for Pursuit of Wonder videos: -->depressing as shit the whole time -->20 second inspirational turnaround -->viewer's complete and utter confusion on how to feel -->was this a lesson or load of depression
But what if one night you decided not to go to the bar and you were instead at home and you walked downstairs to get a class of water, tripped and fell down the stairs breaking your neck and inadvertently killing yourself. All because you didn't go to the bar.
Gavin Clark Or maybe - you go to the bar that night and sit down next to an experienced gentleman whilst having your drink and spark conversation, soon coming to the realisation that this person can offer you the opportunity of a lifetime which changes your entire trajectory, ultimately leading to the success you desire. Side note: Also, I don’t think people should have a disdain for going to a bar because you’ve got to enjoy your life sometimes when done in moderation.
This story isn’t too sad for many reasons: 1 - it shows that everything is possible if you work hard enough and take care of yourself 2 - success isn’t achieving your dream but it’s the constant progress towards one’s dream which means he was successful even tho he died 3 - unlike what the narrator said “he was an all-out man, he either gave anything he could or nothing” he isn’t, if he was he wouldn’t waste his time on alcohol which isn’t wrong but he could’ve invested that time in making some supportive friends which would’ve helped him against depression and would’ve made his dream sooner or later And finally his life wasn’t this bad the narrator made it sound so tragic just for the purpose of this video, he must’ve had many happy moments
Dose of reality... When chips are down, homies are the one that runs the fastest. First story would be the fault of "the system". I mean if natural law wants the law of gravity to be followed 100% and everywhere, who gives the right to nature or life to make bets on us? Life or nature can take bet against themselves and the fact It rewarded the poor man with tragedy shows its contempt for humans. It never ever rewards the person who is falling against the gravity so why does it want to rule us by "chance."?
This vid actually portrayed the main character's a bit better. And did not mention the fact that even if he did not drink that night and miraculously made a masterpiece, he's success is still contingent on someone else's approval.
Frank instead drinks one more drink, this time, he feels so shitty he starts having auditory hallucinations. Later, he wakes up at home not remembering much, except for the hallucinations. He starts drawing what he heard visually as a way to understand it more. After submitting it into a local art museum someone with connections find it and is intrigued by the unique style and gets in touch woth Frank. A year layer, Frank is making much more than he could ever hope making art, and he's only going higher from here. My point is, this video didn't really say anything at all. It's just a butterfly effect, no actual moral to the story, it didn't matter what he did. After watching this I don't feel any more knowledgeable. Going to the bar hypothetically could've saved his life and career.
Being a creative introvert myself I can’t express how much this hit me - you could have the worst day of your life and the best day could follow, but we’ll never know unless we stick around to find out
People like to think back on things and see paths that could have went elsewhere. Yet. Although it is good to see different points in life, it is ultimately just a game of wishing things were different. Take more time to discern the paths available now. And you spend less time discerning the paths that could have been, and likely never were. Of course. How do we know how to discern paths available now? ...Probably by discerning paths that could have been for us and others. ...Oh well. ...It doesn't have a good answer, I guess.
Your life is yours and yours alone, live your life for no one else but for you. The mistake people make is trying to live someone else's life, or according to someone else's expectations. Happiness comes from within, never forget that.
Frank's Dad: Definition of insanity is doing the same things again and again and expecting a different result. Probability & Estimation Theory: Am I joke to you?
This is the Butterfly Effect in it's purest form, not going to a bar caused a man to become world famous, and to be known among the ranks of Picasso and Da Vinci, simply because he didn't go to a bar one particular night. Truly amazing how that works.
Damn I could've been an early bird too and would have been bestowed with handsome salary and a beautiful wife , but instead I'm lying on my bed , watching this shit and trying to figure out how to give my dog poop training! Edit: im 15 yo
I could be wrong but maybe it's that you're always experiencing the present, which is earlier than the future that holds infinite possibilities. So whenever you give something up or can no longer continue (EG due to death), it's a tragedy that you are always too early to know of or experience the possible successes of your future.
He gave up too early, went to drink away his sadness instead of pursuing what he actually wanted and so died without ever experiencing the better parts of his possible life
@@stevenoverlord I believe the tragedy is that Frank gave up too early. If he tried just one more time with his last art piece he would be recognized, but he gave up too soon. The tragedy is all the stories and great things that never become reality because someone gave up or died or wathever too soon, and we will never know because we have no way of knowing when the time is right and that's a tragedy.
masterpiece, i'm going through the same rough patch as frank, parents keep secondguessing my life decisions and being critical and disappointed, same as my social circles which with time have come to be non existent. And there's no way i'll ever be succesful, but i'm hard boiled and the older i get the less i care about all this noise.
@@user-qp6vg9ho8u Agreed, and the contempt doesn't really get to me, I just acknowledge it. To be honest, I feel blessed cause it's been ages since the last time I was praying for Friday to come or for a day to go by for that matter. And you know what? Being a nobody but able to get a good night's sleep is far superior to being the man but suffer deep inside. My 2 cents though.
What about this one : "Don't tell your problems to people, 80% of them don't care and the other 20% are glad you have them." - Tony Montana Be glad you don't have fake friends. Constructive solitude is priceless, understand it.
These videos always make me depressed. I’ve been trying to avoid these videos to keep myself from having an existential crisis, but these videos test me nonetheless. Edit: it’s been a few years and my mindset has changed a bit and I’m less anxious about my own life now that I’ve had more time to think. Though I still have a long way to go.
You don’t HAVE to make a career out of things you enjoy doing. I don’t think people realize that. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment if your “dreams” revolve around trying to make a career/make money off of things you enjoy doing. Money will follow if you are good enough, or just lucky enough. If not, who cares? You do the things you like because you enjoy doing them. If you can’t make a living off of them, that doesn’t mean you can’t do them anymore. You can still do them as hobbies, that doesn’t/shouldn’t diminish their value to you.
Man hearing the part about his parents made me realize how my parents must feel. I feel an overwhelming wave of shame and sadness. I wish I would have never watched that video. Why did it, of all things, just now open my eyes to my parent's assumed feelings about me? I have been sober for 33 months. I m not gonna drink but Im about to do something to change this doom I cant take it
Hey man, I know that overwhelming sense of dread also. I'm not a medical professional so I can't suggest a cure. However something that's helped me is meditation. Also I'd highly recommend discussing these problems with a therapist. If you want to feel better, the best way to do so is talk with a (good) therapist.
Congratulations on 33 months sober. That's a big achievement, your parents would be proud for sure. If things ever feel tough you can talk to a health professional (or you can always use a phone service like the Samaritans)
In lockdown, I've increasingly been focussed on smaller subjects. Not being able to live life and let my mind explote the world. It has been restrictive. Being diognosed with depression, i find daily life a struggle (as do most), suicidal thoughts and tendencies have engulfed my capacity to think reasonably- creating a dark shadow for the future. This video has given me hope, and is just one of the many tiny slaps round the face that we all need constantly. Tho this video has by no means been a cure, it has made me stop and think and get back into a focus for a little while. So this be a small thank you.
This is such an intriguing and cool yet sad video. It just goes to show what every person can do, but only a few will reach their full potential. Everyone has a chance, everyone has a decision to be what they want to be, but it's your choice to push yourself to change who you invision to be.
"After enough failure, a man comes to the point where he has to decide whether or not he himself believes he in fact might be one." That hit different.

This has been my favorite channel for like a year and a half now. Ive watched every video. He helped me through some dark times honestly. I'm just glad my timeline introduced me to this channel.
The moral of the story is: Never think about what other people say. There are always people who tell you you're not right. Even friends and family can do so. Listen to yourself.
he gave up too early. made the wrong choice to go to the bar and he didnt know that that would be the defining moment. at the end, whole life's success can be determined by seemingly innocuous choices. it's definitely a cautionary tale: whenever you can, make the right choice. don't give up and follow your passions
Been there. Done that. I've been designing a no-cost currency to incentivise creating sustainably. No one understands it, or say I am too far ahead for where humanity is. I've given up and now on a pension in state housing. Waiting to die peacefully in the most quiet place possible. Humanity doesn't want to be saved. They just want to hope for it, but still dig their own graves. How incredibly pathetic.

how you know frank wasnt american: he went to the doctor
No, hes implying for us its not free.
Sad but true.
@Colin Rocco Many Americans deliberately avoid going to the doctor until they simply have to, in order to avoid ridiculous bills. American healthcare is shiiiiiiit for your average person.
is drinking hand sanitizer bad for you?
SirRebrl Canadians avoid it too, if we are able to get an appointment. If you don’t have private insurance a lot of stuff isn’t covered.
You make a big deal about fame and fortune in this one. This video focused on all the externals: what other people think, how much success or money he had or didn't have, that outwardly, he appeared to be a failure. However, he did what he loved and did it until he died. We should all be so fortunate. When we follow our joy without regard to the outcome, it doesn't matter what timeline we are on.
Greg Ferguson it matters because he agreed with them
Thank you for this commentary. It made me way less sad and anxious. 💛
Yeah!!
You kinda missed the point, he was fuckig misserable and broke and died like a drunk
I would argue that his motives for art was not internal but rather external. The video mentions multiple times that Frank found art to be an escape and comfort. It could be that he was a "failure" because art was the only thing he could use to avoid everyone who didn't believe in him and his low-paying job but because he lacked support from anyone, he became miserable and because he was miserable, his art suffered. A person needs support from multiple sources even if they have a career they love but they will still feel very much alone if they don't have that support. Frank was a product of his environment and in the main timeline, limited his opportunities because of his misfortune. It's easy to get into a hole and feel that no matter what you do, you can't get out. You often need someone to help you out of that hole before you realize you are even in it.

People who say this video is depressing and are interested in art/are artists, ask yourselves this: Do you do art to become successful, or to become?
How about create art to gain nothing from it? just express art.
What about if you're not an artist? This video is just saying everything you do is pointless and you need to brace for a shitty existence

Well.... as Albert Einstein wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
I think this heavily applies here, he was judged on the fact that his art was not good and he was broke. But he was successful in his own way, he had focus and dedication to something that he loved doing, and I think sometimes that's enough! Lived a life his own way and didn't hurt anyone, says a lot about our society and how we measure success if that wasn't enough. When even criminals are sometimes looked up to and labelled successful if they are able to obtain wealth and power.
Bruh
He was only successful if his art made him happy. If he was miserable because he couldn't sell his paintings, then he was indeed a failure. Not hurting anyome doesn't make you successful. Success doesn't mean you have to be rich. Success, IMO, means that you're happy with your life and what you made of yourself. It could imply being super rich, but it could very well just mean you had a family, and raised kids you're proud of, or you pursued your passion that actually made you happy. If his art made him happy, then he was successful.
But if it made him miserable in every other part of his life, it's no different than an addiction.
joemann Perfectly explained😃
Fax. If u living the way you want to then how are u a failure?
joemann I can’t read the rest of ur comment but yea. The reason he thinks he is a failure is cuz at one point instead of doing it cuz he likes doing it he did it for recognition and money. If u get those things then it’s ok but that should not have been his drive
Never ask yourself “what if...”
You’ll only go crazy. You’re where you’re at for a reason
I needed this comment right now 🙏🏻
Yeah but the reason you are were you are is because of what you did not what you have to do. None of us have any purpose set out for ourselves unless you want to buy into one of the conveniently written religious texts.. What ifs are very important when self reflecting and when looking to the future.. So I'd recommend asking what if tbh
It's better to focus on the reason behind the decision than overthinking what could've been. You'll realize it makes sense, if you only look deep in yourself. You'll start seeing things that needs fixing.
Agree, bro. what if is like cancer to stoicism

@Inside Heartz
Unattainable expectations can lead to all sorts of mental anguish and disorders. Depression and anger are perfect examples of the natural by product. .
So I say " it's okay to fail", because the statement itself is a cure. It lessens the harsh expectations people have for themselves.
More people need to hear, it's okay to be normal.
I think it's a crime to feed false hope.
Not everyone wins. You cannot have 30 first place finishers for a race.

Story of my life - anxiety, missing the perfect chance on accident or on purpose every time. Depression is an addiction. And I always wonder why I'm so unlucky, but actually I am more lucky than I realize. I just choose to make the wrong decision.
@@_Eric._ The realization that we're lucky but fail to make the right decision or never seize the opportunity is far more frightening than the notion of being unlucky.
That's.... right. Exactly
@@_Eric._ there is no perfect chance and never will be
what there is though is hard work and preparation, and when preparation meets opportunity you will have success.
So even though it's foolish from me to say stop worrying to somebody that suffers from depression or anxiety, just try to do whatever will make your life better each and every day. Take care of your body, your mind and the people around you, try to progress in the areas of life that you value
Watch Mr Nobody it should make you feel less anxious o:)
We're always told of stories of people who succeed in life by following their passion no matter what it takes that we forgot those who did not succeed. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I might fail and that's okay
I think you’re missing the point. Follow your passion because in the end that’s all you have to offer to the world.
if you don't go for it you could miss out on a massive opportunity so it's better to take a risk than to sit back and do nothing and later regret not taking the risk
Your passion doesn’t have to be your career. You don’t have to make money off of your passion. You can work a job to support yourself/ whoever else and live comfortably, while still enjoying things you like doing. People need to understand this.
Thank you! I've been seeing the same few comments about how Frank was a failure because he wasn't popular. That's not entirely true. He was a failure, because he was so focused on his work that it was negatively effecting his life, and, to a lesser extent those around him. If he had kept to art as a hobby, he likely would have been in a better place not only mentally, but physically and socially.
The title reminds me of an incident that happened when I was vacationing in Malta in 2016. Vehicles travel in the same direction as they do in England. As an American, I found it confusing. Anyway, as I was crossing a street, I looked left and saw nothing, so I slowly and casually took a step onto the street. Meanwhile, a bus whizzed by me to my right, just inches from my face. If I had taken a step a mere 5 seconds earlier, that bus would have plowed into me, and based on its speed I would have been struck like a bug on the windshield. Life is not just about the choices you make, but when you make them.
... And then there are those of us who can't fathom the concept of vacationing in Malta
i usually just look both ways
The bus drivers in Malta are kamikaze

Lesson Learned: You can never be successful without a vip's approval no matter the perseverance.
Agree. Without art dealer, everything would stay the same for Frank
This is about timelines, not about grief
Nowadays you can go viral on the internet without VIP, but I guess that's not easy either.
They skipped the part where he was manipulated and ripped off by the dealer because Frank didn’t bother to develop any business skills either... haha
So next time you're happy, think about all the different actions and timelines and possible outcomes for this moment, and just enjoy it.

Interesting video, apart from the fact that he was constantly called a failure!
Maybe that's more of an issue with society and the people around him?
He seemed like someone who just minded his own business and worked on something that he loved,
never hurt anyone apart from maybe himself from drinking too much.
His only failure is that he didn't become rich? that's a very shallow way to measure success IMO!
That's true, there is no actual moral to this story. If Frank was happy painting what he wanted isn't that a great achievement ! To be happy in oneself regardless of what we percieve societies' perception of us might be. The universe doesn't really care.
Thats how a large amount of people do judge worth, though. It reminds me of something I read the other day: a person is smart, people are stupid - and i think it sort of applies, here. In a one on one, if you can tell your stories and experiences etc then most people will be able to find some good in you. But put 100 people in front of someone at once and itd be very unlikely that all of them would spontaneously decide they liked this one person. Doubts are amplified and can be spread between people with nothing more than a look.
And so it is. A world full of nice enough people that become nastier when in groups and its simultaneously everyone's fault and nobody's.

The last place to learn about actual art is art school.

This video spoke to me so much. I started crying midway through this video just due to how much I related to Frank. Everything from art being my outlet from being ridiculed as a child, called a failure as an adult, constantly contemplating whether I should quit, the fear that I'll die before ever accomplishing my goals, even the smaller details. My father told me to my face that he doesn't know how he could raise such a failure and my mother makes me lie about my occupation whenever I'm around her acquaintances. After Frank died I wasn't expecting a hopeful ending but I got one anyways so thank you for that. I really appreciate this video. Sometimes you feel like your situation is so particular and you feel very alone then you realize their are many others who share and relate to your story. I'll keep trying and hopefully I don't have a swelling in my brain lol. I did hit my head pretty hard years ago from a skateboarding accident and had complications ever since but I've been checked out many times and doctors always say I'm perfectly fine... just like Frank.
People only belive in you when you make it. Follow your dreams dont die with regret of not even trying at the end all those people dont even know what they want or what they're good at you should be the one felling sorry.

Pursuit of wonder making us rethink our entire lives and giving us some existential crisis.
I used to worry and let videos like this put me into a period of existential crisis
Now however I realized that each decision we make at every minute of our life will create an alternative possible timeline but we will ever only be able to experience one, the one timeline we are on when we make a certain decision.
And one of the most important things in life is to be able to make right decisions and if it turns out to be the wrong choice, try to make this choice right. Allow things out of your control to just be, and things in your control, try to control them and make a decision today that will put you in a better place tomorrow
Formula for Pursuit of Wonder videos:
-->depressing as shit the whole time
-->20 second inspirational turnaround
-->viewer's complete and utter confusion on how to feel
-->was this a lesson or load of depression
Moral of the story: don't get pissed and bang your head.
Moral of the story: Don’t drink
This is objectively the moral that big brain literal folk would find
But what if one night you decided not to go to the bar and you were instead at home and you walked downstairs to get a class of water, tripped and fell down the stairs breaking your neck and inadvertently killing yourself. All because you didn't go to the bar.
Gavin Clark Or maybe - you go to the bar that night and sit down next to an experienced gentleman whilst having your drink and spark conversation, soon coming to the realisation that this person can offer you the opportunity of a lifetime which changes your entire trajectory, ultimately leading to the success you desire.
Side note: Also, I don’t think people should have a disdain for going to a bar because you’ve got to enjoy your life sometimes when done in moderation.
As they say in AA, don't give up before the miracle happens.
This video really does remind me of certain Vincent who cut his ear.
This story isn’t too sad for many reasons:
1 - it shows that everything is possible if you work hard enough and take care of yourself
2 - success isn’t achieving your dream but it’s the constant progress towards one’s dream which means he was successful even tho he died
3 - unlike what the narrator said “he was an all-out man, he either gave anything he could or nothing” he isn’t, if he was he wouldn’t waste his time on alcohol which isn’t wrong but he could’ve invested that time in making some supportive friends which would’ve helped him against depression and would’ve made his dream sooner or later
And finally his life wasn’t this bad the narrator made it sound so tragic just for the purpose of this video, he must’ve had many happy moments
Yeah honestly I don’t get half the point of these stories
Why so Gloomy?
Dose of reality...
When chips are down, homies are the one that runs the fastest.
First story would be the fault of "the system". I mean if natural law wants the law of gravity to be followed 100% and everywhere, who gives the right to nature or life to make bets on us?
Life or nature can take bet against themselves and the fact It rewarded the poor man with tragedy shows its contempt for humans.
It never ever rewards the person who is falling against the gravity so why does it want to rule us by "chance."?
This vid actually portrayed the main character's a bit better. And did not mention the fact that even if he did not drink that night and miraculously made a masterpiece, he's success is still contingent on someone else's approval.
Well, that was depressing.
Frank instead drinks one more drink, this time, he feels so shitty he starts having auditory hallucinations. Later, he wakes up at home not remembering much, except for the hallucinations. He starts drawing what he heard visually as a way to understand it more. After submitting it into a local art museum someone with connections find it and is intrigued by the unique style and gets in touch woth Frank. A year layer, Frank is making much more than he could ever hope making art, and he's only going higher from here.
My point is, this video didn't really say anything at all. It's just a butterfly effect, no actual moral to the story, it didn't matter what he did. After watching this I don't feel any more knowledgeable. Going to the bar hypothetically could've saved his life and career.
That's exactly the point - we can't ever know what timeline we're on. So all we can do is keep on going and not give up.

People like to think back on things and see paths that could have went elsewhere. Yet. Although it is good to see different points in life, it is ultimately just a game of wishing things were different.
Take more time to discern the paths available now. And you spend less time discerning the paths that could have been, and likely never were.
Of course. How do we know how to discern paths available now? ...Probably by discerning paths that could have been for us and others. ...Oh well. ...It doesn't have a good answer, I guess.

Maybe I’m just dense, where does the tragedy of being too early part come in? Death?
I could be wrong but maybe it's that you're always experiencing the present, which is earlier than the future that holds infinite possibilities. So whenever you give something up or can no longer continue (EG due to death), it's a tragedy that you are always too early to know of or experience the possible successes of your future.
He gave up too early, went to drink away his sadness instead of pursuing what he actually wanted and so died without ever experiencing the better parts of his possible life
Its click bait bro
@@stevenoverlord I believe the tragedy is that Frank gave up too early. If he tried just one more time with his last art piece he would be recognized, but he gave up too soon.
The tragedy is all the stories and great things that never become reality because someone gave up or died or wathever too soon, and we will never know because we have no way of knowing when the time is right and that's a tragedy.

You don’t HAVE to make a career out of things you enjoy doing. I don’t think people realize that. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment if your “dreams” revolve around trying to make a career/make money off of things you enjoy doing. Money will follow if you are good enough, or just lucky enough. If not, who cares? You do the things you like because you enjoy doing them. If you can’t make a living off of them, that doesn’t mean you can’t do them anymore. You can still do them as hobbies, that doesn’t/shouldn’t diminish their value to you.

Hey man, I know that overwhelming sense of dread also. I'm not a medical professional so I can't suggest a cure. However something that's helped me is meditation. Also I'd highly recommend discussing these problems with a therapist. If you want to feel better, the best way to do so is talk with a (good) therapist.
Get a cat cat will love you for your failure. You are a failure
Shaco Warren stfu
@@JayDoPluto it's ok to be failure like yourself. I hope you are trying to better yourself but it's not looking good. You need serious help
Congratulations on 33 months sober. That's a big achievement, your parents would be proud for sure. If things ever feel tough you can talk to a health professional (or you can always use a phone service like the Samaritans)

"It was both an escape and an entrance to himself."
That was good.
Like an anus right ?
Sorry philosophical conversations but....

I’m here
In lockdown, I've increasingly been focussed on smaller subjects. Not being able to live life and let my mind explote the world.
It has been restrictive.
Being diognosed with depression, i find daily life a struggle (as do most), suicidal thoughts and tendencies have engulfed my capacity to think reasonably- creating a dark shadow for the future.
This video has given me hope, and is just one of the many tiny slaps round the face that we all need constantly.
Tho this video has by no means been a cure, it has made me stop and think and get back into a focus for a little while.
So this be a small thank you.
This is such an intriguing and cool yet sad video. It just goes to show what every person can do, but only a few will reach their full potential. Everyone has a chance, everyone has a decision to be what they want to be, but it's your choice to push yourself to change who you invision to be.
In summary: don't hit your head and get lucky doing art
"After enough failure, a man comes to the point where he has to decide whether or not he himself believes he in fact might be one." That hit different.
"Have you ever heard the tragedy of Frank the Failure?"
"No I haven't."
"It's not a story fellow artists will tell you."
Me: Got sad from thinking about coronavirus
Me 13 minutes later: HOLY SHIT WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING, THE METHODOLOGY TIMEPOINTS IN THE CONTINUUM POINT TO THE EXACT EXPANSE OF SPACE-TIME WHERE IN ALTERCATIONS WITH PAST AND FUTURE VERSIONS OF
LIMITLESS SPACES DESTROY KNOWN OTHER-WORLDS OF ZERO-POINT ENERGY THEREFORE REASONING THE ENTIRE COLLAPSE OF PHYSICS AND THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.
Damn boiiiiiiiii

Another timeline:
Frank keeps trying in art but then jumps into politics and becoming the 2nd "Austrian Painter".
This moved me to tears, in a moment I needed this more than I ever have
This has been my favorite channel for like a year and a half now. Ive watched every video. He helped me through some dark times honestly. I'm just glad my timeline introduced me to this channel.
Me too bro.. i am addicted to his videos🤩🤩
I'm glad too
Me too, I wish there was a new video daily as deep and meaningful as the previous content
So the lesson is basically: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.”
Nobody succeeds like that. Everybody finishes like the true Frank. Because reality is cruel.
A few do, but only those who keep on trying get the chance to do so
that’s a limiting belief you should change that. listen to the song never stop by future
@@iamgreatness6649 just played the song 🔥🔥🔥
bruh maybe he wasn't doing art for money, maybe its for the sake of art
The moral of the story is: Never think about what other people say. There are always people who tell you you're not right. Even friends and family can do so. Listen to yourself.
Woah I am learning German
6:00 - Oh shit i laughed. even though i'm basically Frank i just imagine his mom being like "Oh, Frank?! That's cringe."
Ooft am I too early?
he gave up too early. made the wrong choice to go to the bar and he didnt know that that would be the defining moment. at the end, whole life's success can be determined by seemingly innocuous choices. it's definitely a cautionary tale: whenever you can, make the right choice. don't give up and follow your passions
Been there. Done that. I've been designing a no-cost currency to incentivise creating sustainably. No one understands it, or say I am too far ahead for where humanity is. I've given up and now on a pension in state housing. Waiting to die peacefully in the most quiet place possible. Humanity doesn't want to be saved. They just want to hope for it, but still dig their own graves. How incredibly pathetic.
I just wanna start fantasizing about the different ways Frank's life could've went now
Imagine that about your life every time you make a choice
