_Some interesting _*_mathematical facts_*_ of the year, 2025 :-_ 1. 2025, itself is a square *45 x 45 = 2025* 2. It's a product of two squares, *9² x 5² = 2025* 3.

Eliminating high carbohydrate junk food from diet, and doing daily physical exercise will improve mental acuity. In other words, maintaining your brain's 'hardware' is just as important as its 'software.'
I’m 24, got my first degree in English, didn’t feel like following the available career paths, basically learned all of these principles the hard way, and now am pursuing a degree in chemical engineering. 4.0 GPA and I love every second of what I do now. Life is just a mind game, master yourself and you can do whatever you TRULY want to do. But that’s the trick, you must truly want to sacrifice and work for it.
Another tip is to visualize the life you want. Similarly to how you suggested visualizing your death bed, mentally project yourself into the future that you want (or even the one you fear/don’t want!) Occupy that emotional space, and use the energy that this generates to focus you in your day-to-day tasks.
Still 17 , finding my passion and trying out different fields which I can thrive in , what you said about Serendipity vs Focus really enlightened me , Thank you for the wonderful words !
This is seriously profound advice. The serendipity vs focus spectrum in particular is something I want to remember. You definitely have another book in you. I see it materializing.
Thank you so much Ali, I have been feeling really lost recently... and that resulted in me falling behind in my duties and almost giving up my hopes and goals. This video has helped me not only gain more clearance on what should I do, but also assured me that I am not falling behind I am just exploring.
بارك الله فيك أخي علي أنا حقا ممتن لك على هذا الفيديو الرائع وخصوصا أنني مقبل على مرحلة جد مهمة في مسيرتي الدراسية في الجامعة وهذه النصائح القيمة ستفيدني جدا شكرا لك مجددا شكرا لك حقا ❤
i respect you, and you said that you had amazing mentors, so Ali, it would be great if you make a video giving us advice or like the things your mentors told you/ taught you.
Hi Ali, thank you for sharing your insights. I’m an automotive technician who decided to pursue electrical engineering last year, and just finished my first semester of community college. Everyone told me I was going to struggle as a mechanic, and discouraged me. I pursued it without fear and even ended up in the German luxury automotive niche. Then when I said I wanted to be an electrical engineer, people discouraged me even more from it. I’m taking the same belief that carried me into a successful automotive career and applying it to EE. I give credit to your reminder of “EE isn’t hard” to keep me going. I resonated a lot with you saying the importance of understanding the mechanics of things, it’s helped me figure out how to use a lot of special tools in the field and improved overall critical thinking. Looking forward to my journey, appreciate this video for the new year. Happy new year to you!
Dude ill comeback in 10 days.. im a physics graduate in Lebanon who was planning on seeking masters abroad but not knowing a bit if i should risk because of my average grades, i have massive potential that ive never really cultivated and i even majored in physics not even knowing why.. even though i liked it sometimes at times, i never really took my time like you mentioned with the serendpity vs focus spectrum, i always push through and lie to myself about it being my ultimate passion and what i wanna pursue, i seeked advice from all the wrong people and mentorship wasnt really available i suppose.. but now, and for the first time ever, it really hits different with this spontaneously random video, no BS, never have i ever felt advice hit me like you just did, i feel like risking it all careless to my surroundings and family and everything, i feel like dropping out of my current local fundamental theoretical physics masters program with all the tons of classes i have been ignoring to study as i write this on this first day of 2025 and actually delving into biology more as fast as i can to decide or perhaps something else if i stumble onto something new i wanna do.. who knows, perhaps biophysics? biology? music? the reason i mention biology is because i always thought of it, medicine and the human body as something id seek and felt passsionate about like it was what i wanted too as a kid, surprisingly i had literally zero interest in going for physics and it was my least favorite but i somehow hastily listened to my enthusiastic physics teacher's advice just because i was good at it, at all STEM actually, i know and am very aware that im not the same person and who knows? maybe physics is more of my thing than that at least now.. i never really write comments, long or short, and this might seem like oversharing to thousands of strangers, but i really felt like writing this, with the hope that someone who's stuck in the worst of a rut, courageously relating to at least a bit of this story and it helping them the way i dont necessarily had to resonate with the entirerty of this video, like all of us, anything actually. Man, Ali i hope i comeback after a while with you being the one reason why i actually, because of some cool successful lively guy's random advice, freely, set on the journey of living and changing my life to all ive ever wanted. "If you never try, you will never know" . Thank you for the profound advice, experience and knowledge, the small unseen affecting bits and i hope my lost self needed desperately.
I read through your long ass message and I totally understand you Go for whatever your heart desires man. You only live in this life once(depending on your belief) and you are only accountable to yourself. Remember, everyone has their own life to live, don't bother yourself by trying to please others. More often than not they end up respecting you
Dude you are a very good writer -- whatever you decide to pursue, you should write about it or share your experiences with others. My only advice is do the regret minimization exercise. Make sure you are in a good emotional state before making irreversible decisions such as dropping out of something. Try to have another plan or alternative. There's little context here so the only advice I have is trust your own intuition and accept responsibility if things go wrong, that will give you the freedom to do what you want deep down. You can come back and update us in a comment later !
I have graduated bachelor degree and study at the master's degree of Information Systems. I have never think of my environment like you showed in this video at the "Systems" part. And it inspired me to review my vision. Thank you for what you do!
I just gotta say, I have been loving your content the past few months more than anything else I have seen from your channel. This format of you going to the drawing board in real time, teaching us useful concepts and lessons in a manner that helps us visualize what it is you are trying to get across, is wonderful. Coming from someone who has kept up with your content for a while, there is something I find about your recent videos that has drawn me in more lately. I thought about it for a bit and I think it has to do with the recent thumbnails and titles. Your videos' thumbnails from a year ago have alot of colorful flashy graphics and big texts, and they kind of blended in with/ reminded me alot of the generic youtube influencer videos that the algorithm would push forth, and made me less willing to view them. Even though your content remained consistently brilliant anyway when I did eventually view them. Perhaps some psychological effect? The rather simple/natural ones as of late where I immediately see the chalk board with euler's equation for example, it feels more personal, if that makes sense. Versus the feeling of an influencer trying to clickbait me. Here I instantly go into the mindset of wanting to absorb information with a willingness to learn just from seeing it in my feed. I enjoy watching the channel of the math teacher Eddie Woo if he may be familiar, as this is what it reminds me of. However I may be the minority and the algorithm does not reflect my sentiments. In any case, keep up the phenomenal work as always Ali!
Hey thank your for filming this video! I am nursing student, in 2nd year. And really, i feel like i was just passive participant in my own course. I did good, even ranked 2nd im my finals, but really i was aware deep down that i wasnt giving my 100%, heck im not even sure if that was a 50%, and i dont know why. But i look forward to follow all that you said, and use my potential. Thanks Ali! Ill keep updating
thank you ali this im 16 and sometimes i get lost in temporary dopamine that gets in the way from what i really want out of life and this helped me to have a clearer mindset. i've been thinking about finding a career within the astrophysics/space field in the future. I've never really given engineering a thought but what other careers are there within space that i can research. thank you again 💗
Really helpful advice. As a physics student i must emphasise on the importance of perspective. You need to be able to change the lens of how you see the world to see the full picture and take the best actions.Be always open minded in regards to point number three, systems, so that way you can reconfigure your thoughts continually into being sharper, smarter and regain focus on what you value the most. Thank you for the advice.
Thanks for making these videos Ali! You are such a rare breed for Electrical Engineering majors to learn from. I recently dropped out of MIT not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, but since then I transferred back into college and decided to pursue EE, and you are my guiding light lol! Please keep it up
Hi, thank u so much for these tips. I feel like we have similar school of thoughts, I switched majors multiple times, going from medicine to biochemistry and eventually to physical chemistry... still feeling confused yet interested by many things, hope I'll get it figured out. Much love and support !
Hello, a physics student here, i'll be finishing my master's degree next year. For me, it was never about being at the top of my class or competing with others. My goal has always been to learn as much as I can about physics and to develop my mathematical skills to the level needed for a PhD. If you were to ask me whether I want to outperform all the students, my answer would be no. But if you ask me whether I want to be the most knowledgeable and skilled in math, I would gladly say yes. i am not driven by being better but rather curiosity behind the world's theories.
@@scottdugan1901 no, not all students will watch this video. But a lot of students, especially in engineering classes, are very motivated. Viewers will be competing with students doing their best. Some of those other students will be very gifted intellectually. Sure a person with average intelligence can work harder, but the top one percent is made up of hard workers who are also very intelligent. Does that mean it's useless to try to get a degree in engineering? No, according to this video, there are a lot of dumb people who get engineering degrees. I'm just saying a person can't get to be top 1 percent solely through effort.
I was doing the systems thing u mentioned, but my parents were complaining about it. Rn I'm in grade 11, and I haven't been as worried about my chem because I have it next semester, and my Spanish grade isn't good either, because it won't be included on my university apps (In Canada it's 6 courses only) but they tell me to work on everything equally, glad to know you agree! I'll keep focusing on physics and math and lookout for opportunities
i was NOT expecting you to say you play rocket league! thats so sick. i have have thousands of hours in that game and im also studying mechanical engineering at a top 5 university for the major. i am super interested in going into the aerospace field. im 21 right now and i hope i can accomplish as much as you in the next 5 years of my life! i am gc3 in rl tho we should run some cas games!
Sorry for my bad English, it's my second language. I'm in my sophomore year and so far I'm doing good with Math and Physics classes. However, everyone around me seems like they all having side projects, joining labs, etc, ... and I stress the hell out because I think in junior year my grade will drop. I know nothing other than just Math and Physics (I have never coded or touched a electric circuit in my life). I think this video might be a sign or sth can actually get me out of this situation. Thanks a lot for making it.
Hey Ali, you are literally helping a lot of people from various domains seriously! A huge thanks to you also are you going to continue the exponential rotation series?
Genuinely it seems less painful to die for a person who has less success and achivement memories than who got almost everything and have a well connection with everything
You know that your knowledge don't have to go wasted. With the basics you can go further and start to explore things, otherwise the whole thing wouldn't make much sense. So you can close yourself in a box and wait to die, or you can leave your footsteps on this world. Your knowledge will also preserved in form of your kids!
Hey Ali, you’re such a great guy that I have been inspired by. I am in Africa and am 38yrs, my dream is to become an engineer. Will be relocating to the US in 2025. Am between mechanical and electrical engineering for year. I like physics and mathematics so much and I love physics and decently good in it. Could u advice me which way to go and how should I prepare, EE vs ME Thanks for your reply
Hey Ali, This was a great video. But I do think the one thing that this systemic process doesn't take into account is the environment where you live. There are a lot of people who aren't privileged enough to live in a country with as many opportunities as the U.S.A. So, while there is nothing wrong (inherently) with not knowing what you want; many people outside of the U.S.A (depending on where they live) may not have an option to follow their passion. It's heavily dependent on their families financial situation/ economic opportunity. Many people probably can only go into engineering/ computer science or some other jobs that can guarantee them a good paying job in a poor economy/ third world country. Otherwise, the video is great. You broke down thinking process and sequencing actions properly and very logically. Bravo.
Thanks for this video, but during step 1 I realised I don't have to be ahead of 99 percent of students. I need a job that I love, decent money,not too much and a loving family to be happy and successful. Anyways your video was still very helpful.
"Started our filming and writing. Not the best in the school, 18:10, UV school, could make on my own free time. Switch to mechanical engineering. That was not so much fun. (Just like my story xd), maybe aerospace, because I love airplanes, well it's also boring to me, it's basically like mechanical engineering but with planes, still need to learn the statics, dynamics, the mechanics, not very interesting." I had the exact same but the reason for mechanical engineering was planes and I like making stuff. But doing it is so different. Then I switched to computer science which people didn't recommend when I was in mechanical engineering. But I don't think I would have known any other since I did a ton of research on the other subjects. No clue what to do so did something I never did. 2-1-2025
Im a first year electronics engineering student, and i just recently failed my calculus class and this just gave me the motivation i need to retake it. Ill update this comment at the end of the semester and see how well ill do
Best of wishes to all you goobers. I’m taking the 2nd semester of Ochem and calc 2 this semester. I got a 4.0 in the fall while taking first semester biology and first semester Ochem 🤙🏻 I got my eyes set on optometry and I’ve been fortunate enough to have a good eye doctor that lets me pick his brain haha. 2025 is our year mfs
I am currently trying clear an competitive exam in India.I have an year for preperation but whenever I think about it or try to study.I get scared and my chest starts to feel heavy and think what if I fail. What do I have do to get rid of this fear.I just wanna ask can this video help with this fear
My video on systems engineering & systems thinking: th-cam.com/video/7sxGW9EVtkI/w-d-xo.html
just gonna say this wasn't just for 2025 but your whole life.
Without specificity, fewer people will click on the video.
This is the 2025 meta update…
_Some interesting _*_mathematical facts_*_ of the year, 2025 :-_
1. 2025, itself is a square
*45 x 45 = 2025*
2. It's a product of two squares,
*9² x 5² = 2025*
3. It is the sum of 3-squares,
*40²+ 20²+5²= 2025*
4. It's the first square after the year 1936
*44 x 44 = 1936*
5. It's the sum of cubes, of all the single digits, from 1 to 9,
*1³+2³+......9³ = 2025
the first square after 44? no shit
literally only the bottom fact is interesting
@@uggupugguwaaahhhh 😢😢😢
6. The number 2025 can be expressed as the sum of 45 consecutive odd numbers:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ... + 89 = 2025
Uh it means that since 1936 we haven't had a perfect square year 🤦♀️@@uggupuggu

@@FentForEntme too bro
@@FentForEnt he said junk food, rice is not a junk food.
@@user-xe5pg5fh4e basically no nutrition for the amount of calories consumed, it's just food you eat to fill yourself up
dude is casually giving out massive life advices. mad respect
Actually!
" I meet a lot of engineers who are very very dump ", that was spoken from real experience XD
Thank you for the content man, keep up
I’m 24, got my first degree in English, didn’t feel like following the available career paths, basically learned all of these principles the hard way, and now am pursuing a degree in chemical engineering. 4.0 GPA and I love every second of what I do now. Life is just a mind game, master yourself and you can do whatever you TRULY want to do. But that’s the trick, you must truly want to sacrifice and work for it.

Ok Ty for the advice
Can I start medical school at the age of 25 or 26? ''I'm currently in nursing school''
Honestly just got a degree in a subject i hate so bad and struggling rn... You're so cool for this. I wanna do this tooo
Still 17 , finding my passion and trying out different fields which I can thrive in , what you said about Serendipity vs Focus really enlightened me , Thank you for the wonderful words !
Happy 2025 Ali! I loved your serendipity vs focus explanation and totally agree with maintaining an open mind as a student. Awesome advice
Thanks man! Happy 2025 :)
Thank you! I'm finally gonna stop getting mediocre grades this year, wish me luck
This is seriously profound advice. The serendipity vs focus spectrum in particular is something I want to remember.
You definitely have another book in you. I see it materializing.
if you'd like to suggest me topics on what to write please connect on linkedin or email me!
Best video to start 2025 . Thank you Dr. Ali
Thank you so much Ali, I have been feeling really lost recently... and that resulted in me falling behind in my duties and almost giving up my hopes and goals. This video has helped me not only gain more clearance on what should I do, but also assured me that I am not falling behind I am just exploring.
Loved this video man, I will take your advice and run with it!
Thanks for the video. Every STEM student should view you as the perfect role model.
Your clean shave is fire
I think I might go with the clean shave for a while, having to schedule haircuts frequently is annoying

glad you like this simpler form! I also hate fancy editing and gimmicky stuff, so I am glad this resonates
Given the fact that I never studied and found a job instead
I should not been interested into this.
But you are killing it man
Keep up the good work!
Thx for your advice:)
I needed to hear this, especially the fifth point.
That was an incredible video. Thank you so much! I’m confident that applying your advice will lead to unbelievable results.

Hey Ali, I am currently pursuing masters in ME and my goals are quite similar to yours. I just wanted to thank you for making this video
You got this!
Thanks. I wanted to switch to aerospace for masters but it wasnt possible due to some external reasons. But i will keep trying!@@alithedazzling
Amazing video. Truly spectacular. Please keep posting.
You got it!
20:32, "is you just try like a bunch of shi- bunch of stuff."
It's mathematically impossible for everyone to be in the top one percent.
Are you implying that all students will watch this video?
Not everyone can be top in everything but everyone has something they can be top in
@@scottdugan1901 no, not all students will watch this video. But a lot of students, especially in engineering classes, are very motivated. Viewers will be competing with students doing their best.

I know nothing other than just Math and Physics (I have never coded or touched a electric circuit in my life). I think this video might be a sign or sth can actually get me out of this situation. Thanks a lot for making it.
Hey Ali, you should make a video about how to properly communicate your ideas because you do it fantastically.
Great video 👍🏻
Great advice, thanks for the video
THANK YOU. LOVE FROM Uganda
Thank you, man. You're cool!
Thanks for the advice they're so helpful.
Hey Ali, you are literally helping a lot of people from various domains seriously! A huge thanks to you also are you going to continue the exponential rotation series?
yes of course! Just felt like making this video due to the timing :)
Genuinely it seems less painful to die for a person who has less success and achivement memories than who got almost everything and have a well connection with everything
You know that your knowledge don't have to go wasted. With the basics you can go further and start to explore things, otherwise the whole thing wouldn't make much sense.
So you can close yourself in a box and wait to die, or you can leave your footsteps on this world. Your knowledge will also preserved in form of your kids!
your life is the life i want to live...💕💕
Thank you Dr Ali.
Great video as usual
Beneficial video ❤
Hey Ali, you’re such a great guy that I have been inspired by. I am in Africa and am 38yrs, my dream is to become an engineer. Will be relocating to the US in 2025. Am between mechanical and electrical engineering for year. I like physics and mathematics so much and I love physics and decently good in it. Could u advice me which way to go and how should I prepare, EE vs ME
Thanks for your reply
We have to gatekeep this masterpiece 👀
Thank you Ali . appreciated.
21:01 if I keep trying to find what I like, won't that waste too much time and then end up jobless because I'm too old for some companies?
I very like your videos ❤
Great video thank you so much you are amazing
i wanna stop skipping Namaz
To be honest, this was the most useful and genuine video of 2024 for me. Really appreciated . Happy new year!
Hey Ali,
This was a great video. But I do think the one thing that this systemic process doesn't take into account is the environment where you live. There are a lot of people who aren't privileged enough to live in a country with as many opportunities as the U.S.A. So, while there is nothing wrong (inherently) with not knowing what you want; many people outside of the U.S.A (depending on where they live) may not have an option to follow their passion. It's heavily dependent on their families financial situation/ economic opportunity.
Many people probably can only go into engineering/ computer science or some other jobs that can guarantee them a good paying job in a poor economy/ third world country.
Otherwise, the video is great. You broke down thinking process and sequencing actions properly and very logically.
Bravo.

Thanks for this video, but during step 1 I realised I don't have to be ahead of 99 percent of students. I need a job that I love, decent money,not too much and a loving family to be happy and successful. Anyways your video was still very helpful.
You get a head if you widen your mind and accept all the possibilities
16:00 is so good
"Started our filming and writing. Not the best in the school, 18:10, UV school, could make on my own free time. Switch to mechanical engineering. That was not so much fun. (Just like my story xd), maybe aerospace, because I love airplanes, well it's also boring to me, it's basically like mechanical engineering but with planes, still need to learn the statics, dynamics, the mechanics, not very interesting."
I had the exact same but the reason for mechanical engineering was planes and I like making stuff. But doing it is so different. Then I switched to computer science which people didn't recommend when I was in mechanical engineering. But I don't think I would have known any other since I did a ton of research on the other subjects. No clue what to do so did something I never did.

Great video thanks
“…and I’ve met a lot of engineers who are very very dumb…” omg 😂😂💀
true story
this realy helped. tnx.
your handwriting is indescribable
I'm gonna save this for the morning..if I watch it tonight i'll never actually do it
Same lol 😅
Im a first year electronics engineering student, and i just recently failed my calculus class and this just gave me the motivation i need to retake it.
Ill update this comment at the end of the semester and see how well ill do
I can relate
thank you sir
Glad to know I was already doing these largely 😃😃. Just follow your intuition! Don’t be afraid to do the wrong thing early on
Best of wishes to all you goobers. I’m taking the 2nd semester of Ochem and calc 2 this semester. I got a 4.0 in the fall while taking first semester biology and first semester Ochem 🤙🏻 I got my eyes set on optometry and I’ve been fortunate enough to have a good eye doctor that lets me pick his brain haha. 2025 is our year mfs
…until you have kids, then it collapses to “1. Survive”. Great advice though, Ali, genuinely.
16:09
when you say yes to irrelevant or bad things, you are essentially saying no to your goals.
could you make a video on practical actions to improve the systems tip? I got confused on how to start gaining this new perspective
Thanks sir ❤
masterpiece.
That’s the Best video to start 2025 with
18:10 exactly and a lot of people also go through the same like me
I am currently trying clear an competitive exam in India.I have an year for preperation but whenever I think about it or try to study.I get scared and my chest starts to feel heavy and think what if I fail. What do I have do to get rid of this fear.I just wanna ask can this video help with this fear
This is a silly question but how do you figure out what you want to do? Like I tend to get really into something and then lose touch with it.
3. Systems:
Zooming out is for me personally such a scary thing to do :,)
amazing video
where's the system's thinking video bro
