These questions come up a lot on Instagram so here's my take. Share your experiences of figuring it out, or feeling lost if you can.
This is a video I really needed to see like 10 years ago. I had no idea where I really wanted to go either, I really enjoy learning about history and science and engineering, and initially went to college for the first one, but decided I didn't want to be a teacher and there isn't many other career options. So in the interest of money I switched to computer science and I entirely regret that decision, because yeah, given time moving up the ladder I can be making a lot more money, but it isn't what makes me happy, and starting in a helpdesk position, oh my god I hate phones so much.
I love that you're a sceptic
I'm the same. It feels that we are so similar
Man I'm subscribing cause you being awfully honest
so what did you do to afford a bentley? i have chosen the currect path but 99% corporations treat people like slaves so im looking in to funding my own biz
As a 20 year-old who has no idea what direction I want my life to go, I needed this today. All of my buddies and my family members are very trajectory/path oriented, so this hit home. Thanks, man.
Just remember that they are probably winging it too. They might have a vision now, but hate it later as well. I’m 25 about to get my Bachelor’s (have an associates) and been in my career for nearly 4 years. There’s people here that have been doing this for 30+ years. I just can’t see that for myself and don’t think I would really want to climb the ladder to higher positions. It’s either go the safe route and stay when I graduate or look for new opportunities.
As a perspective, use my mom's case. She is 55 and has a very stable life now, plent of passive income and she is retired. But she lived a rough life, studied something that she did liked but listened to the others and went on a differet path after coming out of the college. As a result she spent 25+ years of her life working on the corporative world and hated it. The good condition she has now came as bittersweet lucky, she lost 2 husbands and spent most of her life doing something she didnt enjoy. As for now she struggles to decide what she does in life with the possibilities she has. The thing is, don't be afraid to change, go the way you find yourself happy with at the time, and as life goes on, change your path as necessary. Life is too short to be stuck on something you don't like.
What do your family members and your buddies want you to do or to be?
You'll probably have a better life if you stop comparing yourself to your peers or any other people. Just saying
I’m 22 myself brother, read a lot of personal finance and goal focused books, it helped a lot. May you prosper in the future 🙏🏻
As someone who is now 60, Tedward is right. Your 20's are a discovery decade. Things get way better in your 30's. By the way, I still think and feel like I'm 32!
Thanks for the shared wisdom😄✌️
Is it healthy to think you’re 32 at 60 years old?
@@roddydykes7053 Very much so.
Is supplements necessary to stay sharp?
@@montyi8 Yes everything, including eating right and working out regularly.
Giving a shoutout to a $20k economy car (CRZ @ 8:00) while driving a $300k Bentley is the exact reason why I watch Tedward. This man loves cars. Every single one.
This one hit home for me. I'm 28 and after doing nearly all of what Tedward advised NOT to do in my early 20's, I managed to get a degree and spend the past 4 years undoing all of the mistakes. I'm now leaving my cushy (but mind numbing) government job in September to pursue a career in Aviation-it's awesome but I could have done it sooner if I made better choices. Life doesn't end at 30!
You're so young still 30s is the new 20
nice dude, going the pilot route?
I’m literally in the same situation! I’m 22 years old and I have a cushy government job fixing helicopters and fighter jets for the Navy, but it still feels like I’m missing something in my life. I’ve spent the last 4 years fixing airplanes but I’ve never given myself a fair shot at flying the airplanes I fix. Getting my pilots license has been on my mind for a hot minute now and I’m in the process of rearranging my life so I can afford the cost of flight training
@@adrianpolinski9600 go for it man, hope you get it the fastest you can
Hey man, 23 years old here. Partied a lot in high school, was pretty lost and had no future direction. Went into construction/restaurant jobs after high school. Finally had enough, and have been in flight school for 7 months now Perusing towards an airline career. Good luck brother, I’ll be seeing you in the skies ✈️
I needed this today. I just graduated college and I’m feeling really lost. Thanks Tedward
I’m 25 and I’m starting college again for the 5th time. From what I’ve learned working full time the last 10 years, it’s not a big deal to have a degree, but it’s a big deal to not have one. Still feel lost and don’t even know what to major in. Been living on autopilot with no motivation or dreams. Hopefully soon I’ll find a reason to keep on living.
Started college at 26 never went to high school I went to work to maintain myself as my family was very poor I woke up and decided I didn’t wanna be like this anymore and went for my GED and kept going ! So I hope you never give up !!
Finally graduated college at 27 after 7 years in school…
This lesson hit hard, thanks tedward :) I'm 20 and I've been working straight out of high school in the automotive field. I'm thinking of going to a tech school through their automotive and motorsports program. I would love to be part of a high performance company, shop, or manufacturer. My mom doesn't support my career choice and is very controlling of me. It's nice to hear someone else's take on how to handle all of this, It's stressful.
Yeah my family doesn't support me too. Every time they criticise my every step. Im just thinking of leaving for good and getting any job while still pursuing art.
@@rorypond9117 Do what makes you happy no one else knows what you want or need better than you, and if it fails at least you will always know you tried, the other option is not doing what you wanted and forever regretting it.
Man, that's a great idea you have set up - I'd say chase it. The automotive industry is massive and the connections that you'd make are very valuable. I'm going to school for automotive business myself, also twenty, and I would say pursue the things you dream about most. If you dream about cars than you can live it - this industry is FOR THE DRIVEN!
Invest invest invest and one day working will be a thing of the past don’t worry about passions and money worry about money then passions
@@lilid5016 how much money do you have invested?
I highly relate to 8:50. It was at that point that (when I looked up the chain of command at the company) I realized that I did not want to work in aerospace whatsoever. Not only was the whole industry heavily dictated by government contracts, but I saw that the pay ceiling for using technical skills was extremely low. Very quickly I was being pushed into management, which meant living in the world of excel spreadsheet line items, vizio block diagrams, and powerpoint presentations. I felt myself becoming pigeonholed into esoterica that would have prevented further personal growth in things that captured my interest. I went into artistic pursuits, which led to 3D, which led to software.
It's truly frightening, however, living with the sense that you're "starting over" when you really aren't. Those years of experience discovering what you like and don't like are crazy valuable, and many people who seem highly successful in their one career have their own regrets, their own suppressed passions, their own "what if" daily musings. It takes a lot of guts to completely change career paths. If you're having a difficult time, just remember that you're choosing the path less traveled. You're not conforming to societal ideals. A consequence of allowing your individuality to flourish is living with that internal questioning. You're experiencing the pressure to be just like everyone else, instead of the person you truly want to be. Just keep fighting that (so long as you can keep the basics in order, like finances and such).
[EDIT] Oh, yeah, and be wary of passion jobs. Having a passion as a job has the highest risk of losing that passion through overwork and burnout. Several companies exploit the competitiveness of their positions to overwork and underpay anyone in such a position. You can make it work, but you have to stop yourself from overworking. You have to walk away each day when you still want to do more.
and REACH OUT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. We live in a society. We're meant to help each other. It's quite difficult to do things like change where you live or how you earn a living completely on your own. Let others who care about you know what you're trying to do. You'll be surprised where the help comes from.
My two favorite things that I never thought would be combined! Cars/POV driving reviews + realistic, down to earth life conversation/tips. I'm now in my 30s and still have to remind myself that it's never too late.
Although my 20's are long past, I appreciate hearing people talk about this stuff. After school I spent several years teaching in central Europe and those were some of the best experiences of my life. Even much later in adulthood, I still think how happy I was to have taken the risk when I was so young.
Since I'm coming up on my senior year of college I really appreciate and enjoy this video. I would enjoy future videos like this where you did a POV drive and discuss your thoughts on different topics
20 years old and in university rn, I needed to hear this, thank you so much Tedward. Genuinely one of the best content creators on this platform. Thank you 🙏🏽
Quote from Lost in Translation that is kind of relevant to the topic: “The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
Great drive :)
I’m 24, I don’t really have a plan for the future and I’m definitely not happy with where I am right now but I think that for many “young” people the biggest obstacle in their way of getting where they want to be is themselves. And depending and your situation this obstacle can be so enormous that it seems impossible to overcome it.
That’s where I am currently.
And that’s also why I just don’t care anymore.
I feel like whatever effort I’ll put in won’t ever yield the results I want to see.
And even though I know it’s wrong to think that way, it’s still my reality.
you’re already awesome just the way you are. Everyone has a different path and you should not give up so easily. You still have a lot of time to experiment and to grow, and all you have to do is to see and seize an opportunity to be successful. My obstacle is psychological, I’m 21 but I don’t feel like I can achieve the success and wealth my dad did. I feel like I will always come short of his expectation. I learned to not have high expectations but to have small goals and little steps to grow to be the person you wanna be.
I'm 21 and in same place. I don't have any plans for future and I don't know what to do. It kinda fucks with my mental health.
@@megapet777 same, I’m 21, I’m trying many things such as real estate and law school, but to think that I might never be able to be as rich as my dad, or as successful for that matter, really bothers me. Maybe I’m not smart enough? Who knows
@@jackz4149 Yeah. I really don't know. I hope you and I find a way to get good income, doing what we like.
@@megapet777 yeah good luck to you man. Just remember knowledge is always the key, read a lot of books and focus on school is the best way to ensure success
I have a degree in cybersecurity and used to work for Porsche. Now I´m 26 and I repair phones for a living :D Its way more fun and I am my own boss. I hated working for a corporation, that didnt care at all about me if I was sick or needed more free time. I was the youngest shmuck at my department and felt like I was dying inside, because I never got to travel or discover anything in life (I grew up in mega poor conditions). And now, money isnt everything, even though my business is doing great. And who knows, maybe 10 years from now, I might go back or start a new business. Nothing is set in stone.
Man, I really needed this. Current 22 years old and while I have an idea on where I wanna be by the time I hit 30, I have absolutely no solid answer on how to get there. I work so hard at both school and work that I feel like I’be lived a lot right now, when really I need to take a step back and realize that I’m still pretty young compared to the REST of the world. Your video really made me thing long and hard about some of the things I am (and also am not) doing right now, and also that most decisions are reversible and there’s time to discover what I want. Thanks Tedward, always enjoy your POV content
I'm proud of what I've achieved this far at age 23. I went from knowing nothing about cars to being able to fix them. My family turns to me with their car troubles. I find that I enjoy taking stuff apart to fix them. I even took apart my phone and fixed the charging port. From weighing 238 lbs to currently 178 lbs. I have a better idea of what I wanna do with my life. I did some college but I felt it wasn't right for me. I need to work on my finances more. I'm happy but I feel like I could be doing more!
proud of you bro
Ok, so I'm 20 years old and I'm watching this video a few minutes before my college class, really I was really confused which way to go and I thought I was on autopilot... Thanks for this video, I don't know how long I will live or what will make me happy but it's good to hear that I should take risks and try something new
Great video, great advice and beautiful car
Same advice applies to your 30’s, 40’s and 50’s and pretty much any age. If it doesn’t work, then try something different (although it takes a bit longer to change paths the older you get, it’s almost never impossible 😊)
As a 23 year old who graduated from college amid the pandemic, life kicked me in the balls after graduation. It took 11 months to finally get a job but in that time, I was searching for direction and purpose in life. Went from a senior in college to basically being seen as an “inexperienced young bum with a degree.” Constantly applying places but getting rejected for job positions that I was frankly over qualified for.
Finally got a job within the past 2 months so the stability has been nice but definitely do not want to waste my 20s stuck in a rut that won’t benefit my future self
been going through the same, did get called for some interviews but I never get chosen for the position, they always end up with somebody else, it has been 2 months of job searching
Man, I really think you made this for me. I've been letting my job stress me out too much. Not even a job that's going to give me a good future. I've turned down amazing offers because I'm terrified. I feel like I'm losing my grip on life
Dude the things u had to say,u shared with us,not only does it work in your 20's,I think they apply on all age groups,30's,40's,50's, everyone. Thanks man,means a lot.
It took me till my late 20's to finally find my purpose. I am grateful that i did. Don't let it discourage you. Everyone is on their own journey.
I really needed to hear this today.
This worlds society has put such a horrible standard on young people.
20s and 30s is still very very young and i need to understand that.
Currently 21, i have time.
victim mindset
@@Bluebird22200 You're part of the problem. Life isn't a paycheck. Enjoy it while you can.
@@Bluebird22200 facts lol, they will shed and fear away from the truth of making money, while they clock in, ill click a button on my screen and make money from trading lol
@@stoicstudents arguably the worst kind of person
As a 29 year old beginning tomorrow: don’t spend away your future trying to own and maintain nicer cars than you can afford
I’m turning 22 in a week. I really needed to hear this. Over the past 1,5 years I’ve been studying, investing and working various jobs to pursue my dreams. Two months ago my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me, even though everything seemed beautiful. This really is a time of discovery, learning from your mistakes and taking risks. I learned that putting money and prestige on a pedestal isn’t what really makes you happy. It really makes you miserable if you forget what things really matter. It can even make you lose out on things that you love. Remember to take care of yourself, to care for people you love, to look deep inside your mind. Life goes on whatever happens and as Tedward said you will eventually get out of most pits in your 20s. I really believe that. Life goes on, so it’s better not to stand around, but rather take the most of it, shaping your future in the meantime. I am still finding myself as we all are, but hey, at least I have a degree and a Jaguar. We all sometimes feel depressed, but it’s okay to be proud of what we achieved along the way and motivate ourselves towards a wholesome life. Thanks Tedward.
to anyone in the comments who feels like they have no idea what they want for their life:
I did *not* want to go to college and ended up getting a chemical engineering degree. I quit after my 1 year on the job and pursued my childhood dream of making TH-cam videos, and I was so unbelievably scared, but taking the risk was so worth it. TAKE YOUR RISK!! If you have always dreamed of doing [insert thing], take the risk! Save up money to afford 6-12 months of bills, quit your job, and start building what you want to/move into the field you want!
Also, youtube is the PERFECT way to monetize your hobbies/passion. Good luck!
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, I am in my 20s, and the words you said meant a lot to me. Thank you!
Hi Tedward! every now and then I need these reminders because I get pressured to know it all right away. I loved how casual you took the topic, thank you so much!
Thanks for this video, I'm 20 and it came just at the right time.
Very therapeutic drive too as always, keep them coming 🥂
The way he interrupts his talk when he sees a car is so relatable and I do it allllllll the time.
great lesson - thx tedward
Thanks for this video. I really needed to hear this. I am 20 and constantly upset with myself for not knowing my exact path through life. My path so far has been much different than most and I need to appreciate that instead of thinking it is wrong. The people I compare myself to aren’t even achieving what I want in life. So I need to realize my path is just as valid as theirs.
This video came in perfect timing. I'm 23 and took the last 5 years off to really figure out what I like doing and what I'm good at. I knew I wanted to do something in the art or music scene but wasn't quite sure. I decided to try the entrepreneur route first to see if I could make it without a degree. Needless to say I learned a valuable point in that I'm just not that type of person (which I learned is okay!) So I took those years to see what cool stuff I think I could pursue as a career. And as of a couple weeks ago I came to the conclusion that for the industry I want to be in, it's very realistic to get a degree. I'm super blessed that I had the opportunity to learn what I do and don't like. While a lot of my friends went to college, I took pride in the fact that I was going against the grain, doing my own thing. For a while I had a stigma from my family that college was all bad, out to get your money, and wouldn't be as efficient as learning on your own (at least for the art industry). I learned that there are pros and cons for both! It really matters what type of person you are!
Anyways, I just wanted to tell anyone out there that if you feel like you've wasted time doing stuff you don't like, please for your future self's sake, STOP. Pursue what you like to do! Screw people's opinions, live the life you feel will be fulfilling! It's never too late!
(Btw, as of literally today, I just finished signing up for my fall semester. I start in 2 weeks LOL! The timing is impeccable)
Thanks for this tedward. I’m coming up on 26 yrs old next month and feel like my 20s so far have just been passing me by like I’m on auto pilot. After graduating college I got a good job and have been focusing on my career but at the same time accidentally letting time, friends, family slip away. Ik I’m still young but this reminded me to put myself back out there and take more risks and enjoy life
Really appreciate this video and this series in general. Im sure a lot of the viewers like me like to take drives to clear their mind so its just a relaxing and relatable format
I'm about to turn 30 in 5 months. I have wasted my 20s. It is what it is. No one can grab time, it slips. Where someone older than me is today, I'm gonna be there tomorrow. Where I'm today, someone younger than me is gonna be there tomorrow.
All I can do is ground myself in reality, recognize options, choose the best one and move forward. That's life. It passes.
Love what you said here, Tedward! It’s been life changing for me to do the seemingly hard things to keep discovering who I am, but in turn it’s helped me love myself and my life infinitely more than if I had only played by someone else’s rules. Trying to find balance between being responsible and having fun is key!
thank you for this. i just graduated high school about 2 months ago and i was on edge on a few things i wanted to do and now that it’s almost time for fall classes to start it’s late for me to apply for college for fall classes and this video was so good for me because i keep thinking i’m gonna waste a year if i take a year off but i can figure out myself in that year i take off. thank you tedward
Tedward is a hero. I would watch anything with a car riding in the background. This helps.
I love these videos, glad you're making them again.
This vid was honestly so meaningful, hope a lot of people see it and have a different outlook on their lives. Just turned 16 around 2 weeks ago and in my freshman year, I always thought it would take me years to really know what I wanna do in life and what college I wanna go to. I never thought I would have the plans that I do today, I’m more in-tuned with what I wanna do in my future and what college I wanna go to. While I don’t specifically know everything that’s gonna happen in the future, I feel like things just naturally happen and having these little guides and plans can definitely play a big part in that. Sometimes I like to remind myself that no matter how much someone knows what they want to do, I feel like we’re all just fish in a tank swimming around not really knowing where to go, we just go.
I wonder how many times somebody has gotten excited by a CR-Z in a Bentley
Wow I really really needed this right now. Can't believe I found something this relevant to my current situation on one of my favorite car channels. Thank you so much Tedward!
as someone who just graduated like a month ago this was so incredibly needed. I feel so lost and so demotivated compared to my friends to apply to dozens and even hundreds of places while I'm only applying to a couple places here and there and it is super depressing. But that don't compare yourself to others and appreciate the effort I have put in is so important because just because I haven't gotten the same results as one of my friends does not mean I'm not trying or I'm not doing MY absolute best. Do your best without pushing yourself past your healthy limits and take care of yourself.
Definitely needed this.. I'm 25 & I graduated college "late" compared to my peers. I just graduated this past December with a B.S. in IT, and have started a corporate job and definitely already feel like these past 6-7 months have flown by and I've just been going with the flow. There are certifications I want to get that people say will help me advance in my career, but I have been unmotivated to do so. You definitely have given me motivation to keep at it & keep trying. This video definitely hit home, I've been under a lot of stress recently I feel that I don't have much time to "reset". Thanks Tedward.
-Brandon
Thank you so much man. I’m 25, this video was needed and I love the understated review of the Bentley as well
Thank you so much for this man! I really needed to hear this!
Honestly I come back to this video every now and then since it was posted last year and Tedward's advice is just so damn comforting! That statement about finding a purpose and the difficulty of getting out of depression really hits home. Ever since I came across Tedward's video about being gay in the car community, the sincerity in the advice he gives in videos like this as well as the pockets of wisdom he share in passing during the POV videos - I end up valuing a lot. So thank you for that Mr Tom
Thank you for your words, man! YOU'RE GREAT!
Love these videos. It's so nice to listen to life advice while seeing some nice driving.
this has been on my mind for weeks i’m tearing up thanks for the advice man
Big up tedward. Content like this is what really matters. Respect!
As a class of '21 graduate and spending ~ a year in the corporate workforce this is exactly what I needed to hear.
This feeling is all too familiar to me. I was heavily involved in my school's F.I.R.S.T. robotics program from 5th grade until high school graduation; an outlet for a nerd to experiment with Legos, computers, mechanical objects, and friends. While I picked up a lot of STEM related knowledge, I was passionate about social studies & history and I knew that was what I wanted to study. I loved the topic, the teachers I had for it were great, and I was content to make a smaller salary in life as long as I could be comfortable. I distinctly remember our senior banquet which had programs that had all our names on the back, where we were going to college, and what we would be studying. I was the only history major in a sea of STEM fields. Went to college out of state, didn't like it. Came home and went to my local community college, a.k.a. "the place where you go for 13th grade"; boy was I wrong. Never been worked harder by my professors there, never been so wrong about a foolish stereotype.
In the midst of college, I got a job part time at a local tech recycling company. Constantly surrounded by retired/out of warranty enterprise IT equipment; desktops, laptops, parts, hard drives, etc. Self taught, I had built a few computers prior to that, and this job gave me real, credible work experience to show that I could handle the basic fundamentals of IT. It also showed me the value of hard work; the factory was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Aside from recycling and testing IT equipment, I was lifiting heavy objects, unloading and loading trucks, sweeping hard concrete floors, filling up dumpsters with trash; clothes, hands, and body dirty and exhausted. But I solidified my work ethic. Some employees had been there for decades, trapped due to their lack of education or opportunity. I had other opportunities and advantages; I was younger, I had the chance to go to college, I had the benefit of living at my parents house with nearly zero expenses. I made sure to look around at them and my surroundings frequently, knowing that this is how "the other side" works. Blue collar.
College graduation came fast; I had excellent grades, but a History B.A. doesn't get one far in the field. I was distraught; nobody had ever told me to not follow my dreams and passions, but they also never said "make sure it can pay". So, at 23, I took a sales job at an IT reseller company. $30,000 a year (not much on the east coast USA but it came with benefits), selling IT equipment/products and I hated it. I knew exactly what I was selling while my coworkers just followed requests for "computer stuff idk". Customers verbally harassing me over the phone with such wicked insults and tones, all because they knew they could get away with it. Effective businesspeople make for terrible humans. I made enough money to pay my bills but not enough to move out of my parent's house, going to sleep many a night on the verge of panic attacks waiting to see what would be thrown at me the next day. So, at night after work, I distracted myself by taking small IT courses online, tinkered with old computers, and searched for jobs that could be better.
Dissatisfied with corporate, I applied to jobs in the government sector and found a job working 12 hour night shifts. Since then, after a myriad of government jobs, I work as a state employee for my alma mater doing IT, married at 27, living that comfortable life I had dreamed about for years but never had quite found.
Just because you are in your 20s and are not as "on track" as your peers does not mean you will be barred from success. Sure, you may need to roll up your sleeves and get dirty, get sweaty, and get tired to get to the level of someone else that didn't have to go that route. But not forever. Focus on yourself and what you can accomplish, instead of fixating on what others are accomplishing. Your friends have their own struggles and sacrifices that you don't see just as much as you have your own struggles to deal with that they might not be aware of. Listen to your friends and learn from them, help them with their questions and concerns. Reach out to your families and make them aware of what you're looking for.
And please, go buy "that" car. Life's too short to say "what if". Never stop driving.
I'm a 22 year old who just quit his high-paying job (for my age, $64,000/yr) last week because I realized that I hated my job and my life. Currently living on savings with plenty to spare. After reading this and watching this video, I think I'm going to switch careers to something completely different and "experiment" as Tedward said. Also, thanks for the last comment. Finally convinced me to reserve one of the new Nissan Zs.
This type of content was better than i was expecting. You got something really good growing here.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m 22, just graduated with a masters in maths and I’m going into the world of teaching - but I’m feeling so lost with everything and I’ve spent so long just drifting, afraid to take risks, and just not really living my life. This video and your wisdom has helped a lot. Thank you!
Cheers tedward, I’m 19 and this has really made my day and helped me out.
sheesh driving and giving pointers is such a vibe to watch. Great vid
Found your channel last night, binge watched a ton of videos today! Loving your demeanour, you speak with such passion for the vehicles and compassion for others! I’m 25 and this resonates well, just purchased a 2017 Mazda 3 SPORTS NAV over here in Ireland, a huge upgrade from my 1997 nissan Micra shape (or downgrade depending how you look at it😂) a nice treat in my twenties for sure, keep up the fantastic content man!
Thank you Tom!
Thanks man. I needed this
thanks, one of the best motivation videos on youtube.
Tedward came through at a pivotal time, thank you.
im 27. i graduated with a chemical engineering degree when i was 22. academically i was smart but i found it hard to fully apply that intelligence to something i wasnt interested in. i learnt that at uni. it was such a chore for me to study for those exams and i just thought to myself that if studying for 2/3 weeks is this bad, imagine a lifetime working in this field. its now just a piece of paper to me that i wasted 4 years of my life to get. im dream chasing now. have been since i left 5 years ago. im proud to say im getting close. im catching up. even just typing that right there was a nice feeling because although i amnt where i want to be, if i look back on the past 5 years, the progress ive made has been incredible. but above all, the progress ive made mentally has been OUT OF THIS WORLD. i suffered so much hardship in those years. so much self doubt because i felt as though i wasnt getting anywhere and then id be like i fucked up i made a mistake i should have just gotten a normal job like everyone else. so much pressure because all my friends were starting their careers. so many life events...both things that were in my control and things that were out of my control. and in the beginning they would really fuck me. i would go i to severe depression for months at a time. i would stop gymming, i wouldnt want to eat. i wouldnt want to go out. i lost all motivation. then i would slowly come out of it. i couldnt even tell you how many times that happened. but each time i came out, i was just that little bit more stronger to it. ive had so much experience at rock bottom, that im truly comfortable there now. and the mindset i have now is so bulletproof you wouldnt even believe. i gym everyday. run 6.5km everyday. i went from 110kg to 75kg. i work towards my dream everyday. no more rock bottoms. no more depression. no more broken sleeps. but to get to this point, those years of pain were NECESSARY. if its not painful, theres no value in it. if money was free, it wouldnt really be money would it? the power of the mind is not a joke.i repeat. THE POWER OF THE MIND IS NOT A JOKE. if you need help and want someone to talk to then you can hit my insta. @z_abideen. i dont post. ive been off socials for a long time now. but hit me up if youre feeling lost. a stranger is the best person to talk to because they dont know you to judge you and you can tell them the honest truth. believe in yourself. thats how you do it. thats the key.
Ace video. We are never locked in, no matter what your path has been or you think it should be. The best thing you can do is identify what makes you happiest and taking gentle steps towards achieving that happiness
This helped me a lot truthfully. Being someone who didn’t go to college and didn’t do well in school, I felt kinda lost. I’ve been trying to start a detailing and tinting business and mostly everyone doubts that I can do it so it kinda sucks, but it’s something I’ve always loved doing and want it to work. It makes me feel better than I’m not lost and alone that idk what I’m doing in my twenties.
Don't tell people ur plans and believe and have faith it will work
This is exactly what I needed today, thank you!
Awesome advice! And also nice Mulsanne! I’ve found myself in a job I hate and have been studying at nights so I can hopefully start my own tech business instead of the drudgery of car sales (love cars but you start hating working at a dealership everyday). The milestones for yourself I’m finding are so important. You are an inspiration Ted! Keep up the good work your videos are awesome.
Thanks for this video champ!
Love these vids so much. When I graduated college, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I still kinda don't, but I discovered how much power there is in just making a choice. And I'm surprised at how quickly things can happen when you set them in motion! I quit my job at a big soulless multinational to work for a super small company in the ski industry. Moving to CO in a few weeks. Could miss it in a blink.
I guess, if I were to boil it down, I discovered just how worthwhile it is to knuckle down and make decisions, especially when they feel scary!
It's funny, cause as a 29 year old and despite having definitely tried a literal shit ton of different things, I still feel like I wasted time and could've graduated earlier etc. if I had chosen my degree more wisely in the first place. But on the other hand, what I actually did was maximize the hell out of that time by trying out different disciplines until I found what I want. I did what interested me at the time, listened to myself, took risks, and now I'm looking at an exciting future.
It's a cliché, but honestly be brave and listen to yourself. Take those risks, cause you have plenty of time and very rarely will that time be wasted in your 20s if you're following your interests.
Thank you for making videos like this. They are very helpful.
bro i really needed to hear that... thanks.
drive safely :)
Cars are my therapy for the funks. I believe you're saving just as many lives as your sister & that's coming from a RN. Thanks a million Tedward
I needed this as a man that just turned 21 2 weeks ago with have no career path in my circle and always stressing/constantly worrying about life
I'm currently 19 and still this video hits hard. I'm really glad I've figured out exactly what I want to to do and where I want to go, but this video still reminds me that if I end up not liking it as much as I think I will, I will still have time to sort myself out. Thank you.
Thanks bro for your wisdom.
At 28, graduating from grad school in a few weeks
This was a great video to watch and give me the insight I wanted to hear
This one hits home as a fresh student straight out of high school, I would say to take your time and not rush it, it’s so hard to choose a path in life with so many options. I’m 18 years old and all I enjoy rn is cars and video games lol thanks for your wisdom 🙏
This video is kinda exactly what I needed rn. I'm in my senior year of highschool being pressured to pick a major and college and I have not a damn clue what I want to do. This helps me know I have more time than I think. I hate that all this pressure is put on us so early.
Thanks man, needed this. Subscribed
I’m a 23 year old college graduate who graduated with honors and I can’t get a job other than DoorDash. I hate every moment of my pathetic life.
Kinda on the younger end here but i’m 18 going to college in a month or so
This was a great watch, really made me think about what I wanna do and just how much time I have for things. Thanks for putting stuff in perspective
Hope you do this style of video again!
Love these intellectually oriented, tedward vids 🙌🏼🙌🏼.
I'm 22, just graduated from college a month ago, still searching for a job. And 20 mins ago I got that kind rejection email after a week later from the interview. I was just feeling so lost. I entered to TH-cam to taking my mind off and i saw your title. Thank you Tedward!
This is beautiful and I appreciate this. Thank you.
This is exactly why I love you,dude!
really needed this man u have no idea
Tom! Great video with better advice! Thanks for being real.
Respect to you for such a video 🙏🏼
positive vibes
i rock with your content inspired 🙏🏻
I needed this, thank you
Very nice speech. Cheers and thanks for the good will to all those who can hear you.
Daaamn! Really needed to hear this today, some words from someone with some more experience than me. Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate this video!
Thank you Tedward, I feel like I’m on a decent path right now (20 years old) but I try many of the ideas that I have, I call it the shotgun spread approach lol. Also that initial startup on the Bentley sheesh! This was a great video & I feel will always be relevant no matter the time & age. Thank you again ❤️
Today was the day i realised it was worth it to subscribe your channel. Otherwise i would have never seen this video. Thanks a lot for making this video i really needed this. Cheers!!
Firstly, I am genuinely glad that a car man from U.S. is bright enough to come to such conclusions while his fellow countrymen can't pinpoint their country on global map.
Secondly, I want to share my life story, let it be a waking call for those who are patient to read: I'm from Iran. 28 years old. Currently I live in Iran. I was always top student in my class, I studied clinical psychology at the best University of Iran. When I participated in exams for my masters, I was ranked 44th in a country of 85 million. Then when I was going to enter the university, the parliament came up with the idea of throwing us out and putting their own children instead of us in the best positions to study. At 22, I got sick for 4 years (hiatal hernia), took 4 years to undergo surgery that I needed. In the meantime, I had to find a job, but what job can you find un a country which is sanctioned to oblivion and unemployment rate is 45%. It is a shame for certain people in my country to do certain jobs. I'm from a noble and famous family but not wealthy, still everybody expects us to "not to work". I know 4 languages and understand 5, 6 foot 4 inches tall 220 lbs, good looking, bachelor's of clinical psychology, 134 IQ, from such a family, and I went to work as a diesel mechanic (which is wrongly assumed as one of the most despicable jobs in my country which only addicts and thugs and criminals working as such) because there was no other job available. And I had to beg to get the job. 12 hours a day, no insurance, no respect, danger of death or becoming paralyzed at every moment for 3 dollars a day. Now I'm jobless because they didn't need me anymore. Some other poor guy was going to work for 2 dollars a day instead of me. And believe me not everything in Iran is cheap, 2lbs of meat costs 10 dollars. Now when I lay down and stare at the roof, I question the reason that keeps me going and not committing suicide and I can't find any. All I want to say is that to all those who have the privilege of having a job, any job which is always available (like go and flip burgers as Americans say) that can feed them, just be happy. I laugh when I hear people complaining about prices and inflation in Europe and America. You can work a simple job with all the benefits for 1 hour and buy a pizza, I have to work a dangerous and highly specialized job for 20 hours to buy a burger. I don't blame you for what I have to endure, it has nothing to do with the ordinary people of rich countries. I just want to say, if you have the opportunity, grasp it and don't let it slip away. Appreciate what you have, because billions in the world who are much more talented and capable that you can't even dream about that. And don't throw your lives away by drinking, becoming addicted or suicide, because that's straight up insult to people like me. Again I say, look beyond your country's borders and live, LIVE FOR US TOO
Thanks for this! How about for one in your early 30s now that career and money are no issues, but you're single and everyone around you is in a relationship, getting married, and/or having kids, and your parents are getting old?
Can do!
