Jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy the future is inevitable..I hope everyone here becomes extremely successful!!
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten so that who ever may believe in him may have eternal life. John 3:16 Jesus died for you so why don’t you live for him. Humble yourself and come before Him and call upon His name. Ask for forgiveness so that your sins may be washed away. This life is nuthin compared to life in heaven.

Yeah last weeks in high school and during last period realized how much I have missed but I have one video on another channel what is soon one year old and I can see I was whole a lot different person. Last year taught me a lot. How meeting only 2 persons can open your eyes and change your life?
This guy really made my day... Because of Covid my batch didn't get to have a graduation... I just shared this with my grade and we are all crying and talking and laughing now... Thx
Another genius kid from that beautiful country, The Philippines. The love for learning and the support from family and friends during those tumultuous years of challenges (financial, mental, emotional and the like), peer pressure, temptations, and illnesses will make you survive senior high.
Thats what i loved about high school. You throw all your childhood stuff away thinking you’re a grown up. Once junior year rolls around you start to miss your old friends and the old memories and realize how much of an impact just four years can make
I've invested heavily during the pandemic and earned considerable passive income. I'm pursuing a dividend and growth hybrid strategy, which I believe is smart. Credit goes to my advisor Zach Micah Demers.
Consistency is the key to a successful investing journey as modest investments for longer periods of time will usually outperform larger investments over shorter periods. I’ll keep working with Mr Zach his ways are very defined and yields results
Zach Micah Demers is a highly knowledgeable investment advisor and financial planner who helps me navigate the complexities of investing. His insights and recommendations have been instrumental in growing my portfolio from 40K to 120K
I'm just motivated by this speech and actions from the graduating class of 2010. Once you put your mind to it, you can do it. The sky is indeed the limit, with God all things are possible.
I remember watching this when I was in middle school.😭😫 Becoming an adult is not easy when you are doing it all alone with no help from a parent or any family members. So, if you still live with your family, then be thankful because not everyone can succeed with having a roof over their heads. And not everyone have a day off from work. It's nothing to be ashamed of tbh living with your family still. Because everyone's success comes in differently and a different day.
"Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food." Don't die for wealth. Die for power. Many people chase after wealth thinking that wealth is the endgame. Wealth is just a leaf that grows on the tree of power along with all of its other benefits. Don't settle for the small things in life and always have ambition.
i'm in my last year of middle school today. I'm gonna update every year so remind me please when you see this? update (may18,2020) : unfortunately, I couldn’t finish my last year inside our school, our school actually didn’t had online classes and passed all students from nursery to senior high. I moved back to Philippines during eight grade so we don’t have any moving up ceremonies (Philippines used to have k-10 and had moving up ceremonies for sixth graders instead of eight and it changed in 2013, where k-12 was implemented in the Philippines but high school still starts at seventh grade. 7th to 10th grade is junior high and 11th to 12th is senior high. We don’t have 9th graders as freshmens or 10th as sophomores) Usually, our school starts within the month of June but because of the ECQ, our school starts in July with online classes and August for school irl :)) i hope you all get that. I’m impressed you guys are still reminding me, thank you for that because in the next few months, my next update will be here :)) update (september 10, 2020) : Sadly i don't think i can start my first year of high school right. We just have online classes with the same classmates..... update (june 26, 2021) : well uhmm… I feel like i lost friends? I hate this pandemic so much but at the same time I like taking online classes because i hate going outside. I KNOW i did soo bad in school but i’m in high honors for some reason?? It feels off because i know a lot did better than me this whole school year. No new friends, didn’t really meet new people or even talked to people who I haven’t to before pre-covid… or even talk to my classmates. I changed for the worst honestly. I hate it so much I want to cry. update (august 29, 2021) : second year of high school here i come... during summer i only had a few chances to talk or hang out with my friends, i kinda want to move schools next year. update (april 26, 2022) : Last school year, 9th grade was quite a sad year for me. I was struggling with communicating with my friends or anyone outside my house at all. But during the start of 2022, I decided to become ‘myself’ again or just try becoming more 'friendly' and open myself up more to my friends. Guess what? I have talked to soooo many people!! I got a new friend too ^^ I’m really really happy. School's very stressful since i’m a ‘junior high school completer’ and was assigned to be a leader in many group projects, which is the number one reason why i got to chat with my classmates ^^ really really happy about that. I hope when me and my friends meet again, by the time i edit this again, won’t be as awkward as when we met a few months ago. I hope so. update (october 15, 2023) : guess what. I’m a senior now!!! a lot has happened. I guess this speech is starting to work for me… During 10th grade nothing much quite happened, still the same old me. I moved to a different place with my sister, we live in an apartment with just us two because my sister got in her dream university here and i decided to follow (and my parents let me hehe). Well, during 11th grade I felt super happy I was able to feel comfortable with my classmates. All of my classmates were able to talk to me and I was “me” again during middle school, the same me who can speak to anyone without having to think twice.. Although i wouldn’t have done it without my boyfriend. I met him during 11th grade and we’re happily in a relationship for 8 months now in two days (TMI…) For friends? I guess you could say it’s the same to no friend (excluding my bf) to talk to always for rants, gossips, etc. But I have a friend group who are kind to me and doesn’t say mean stuff to me in a really insulting and backhanded way… We have research projects now and I’m always the leader, so it’s been really stressful. But i’m so happy with school rn (about classmates), I feel like i’ve slowed down with academics, but I feel happier and better^^ update (may 17, 2024) I’LL BE GRADUATING IN 5 WEEKS!!
+Littleman3001 I beg to differ and disagree .. 8 minutes and 51seconds ago you didn't know that watching this video would not change your life .. so that in and of itself is a life changing impact (-:
+Littleman3001 from a biological point of view this is incorrect and couldn't be further from the truth. You are and never will be the same as you were when you were writing that. Cells die off, some renew Mitosis and Meiosis all aspects of you not being the same you as you were when writing this. The fact that you don't control this or that your perception of yourself hasn't changed at all is something entirely different.
Very mature speech from a bright young man. Loved the part where he finished the rubix cube, said goodbye to high schoo, and then when saying hello to college he puuls the much bigger rubix cube. That was a good one!
He was so nervous during his speech but I love his speech its so entertaining and he also inspired me to do more study harder and never give up on anything that I want to achieve.
This speech really did change my life. I am now a high school dropout who after hearing this speech realized that college and high school is too much work. I now work at McDonalds. Please don't buy the big macs and sodas it is my only source of food and drinks.
I saw this video 3 years ago, the message has always remained with me throughout the years, and now 3 years after, it's back in my recommended videos and now, about 18 million lives have been changed with this speech
Life is easy: be yourself. That's it. That's the key. People love when others be themselves because it's something new. Something refreshing. People try so hard to fit in by associating and changing for others when they could do it so much more easily by just being themselves. That's all anyone ever needs to hear... BE YOURSELF!
That's honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People become themselves by learning and sampling other behaviors; we test and see what we like. And this freak experiment goes on until the day we die. Those different personalities are harnessed from people of all stripes and fuse to create a new element. How does someone just "Be themselves"? You don't get your own manual when you're born.
John Rose Clearly I didn't mean disregard everything anyone says ever. Do it when it counts... when you have to share an opinion or suggest an idea. Instead of following others, lead by example. Yes we have to consider others and sometimes refrain from actions that will harm a lot more than it will do good but for the most part being yourself and doing what you think is the best is the way to go if you want to live a fulfilling life. Simone Schmitz It's because I have the experience I do that I know this is the right choice. Clinging to others means you are reliant on them for support... without them, you fail.

I loved this speech! What an insightful way to relate high school life's craziness, and in extension, all of our life, in a humorous way. I loved the way you related it to a Rubik's cube, but I thought it was remarkable how you involved your musical classmate in the speech as well. Obviously, your classmates loved it- and I did too!

class of '18. Already 3 years have gone by and like everyone says it's very fast. If you are in high school ENJOY IT. DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO BE GREAT AND TAKE PART IN EVERYTHING. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!
woah dude, don't be so disrespectful.

Yeah last weeks in high school and during last period realized how much I have missed but I have one video on another channel what is soon one year old and I can see I was whole a lot different person. Last year taught me a lot. How meeting only 2 persons can open your eyes and change your life?

Another genius kid from that beautiful country, The Philippines. The love for learning and the support from family and friends during those tumultuous years of challenges (financial, mental, emotional and the like), peer pressure, temptations, and illnesses will make you survive senior high.

Thats what i loved about high school. You throw all your childhood stuff away thinking you’re a grown up. Once junior year rolls around you start to miss your old friends and the old memories and realize how much of an impact just four years can make
Being a college senior is the last time that being a senior carries some degree of cool .

I've invested heavily during the pandemic and earned considerable passive income. I'm pursuing a dividend and growth hybrid strategy, which I believe is smart. Credit goes to my advisor Zach Micah Demers.
Consistency is the key to a successful investing journey as modest investments for longer periods of time will usually outperform larger investments over shorter periods. I’ll keep working with Mr Zach his ways are very defined and yields results
Who is Zach Micah Demers?
He is a financial analyst and the advisor who has helped me learn how to consistently secure wins from investing regardless the nature of the market
Zach Micah Demers is a highly knowledgeable investment advisor and financial planner who helps me navigate the complexities of investing. His insights and recommendations have been instrumental in growing my portfolio from 40K to 120K
Another scam from a bot. Don't believe him.
I'm just motivated by this speech and actions from the graduating class of 2010. Once you put your mind to it, you can do it. The sky is indeed the limit, with God all things are possible.

I remember watching this when I was in middle school.😭😫 Becoming an adult is not easy when you are doing it all alone with no help from a parent or any family members. So, if you still live with your family, then be thankful because not everyone can succeed with having a roof over their heads. And not everyone have a day off from work. It's nothing to be ashamed of tbh living with your family still. Because everyone's success comes in differently and a different day.
Find one person to love you and to go through life with, cause it's tough and we all need someone.

"Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food." Don't die for wealth. Die for power. Many people chase after wealth thinking that wealth is the endgame. Wealth is just a leaf that grows on the tree of power along with all of its other benefits. Don't settle for the small things in life and always have ambition.

Bro my school had a Roblox graduation
i'm in my last year of middle school today. I'm gonna update every year so remind me please when you see this?
update (may18,2020) : unfortunately, I couldn’t finish my last year inside our school, our school actually didn’t had online classes and passed all students from nursery to senior high. I moved back to Philippines during eight grade so we don’t have any moving up ceremonies (Philippines used to have k-10 and had moving up ceremonies for sixth graders instead of eight and it changed in 2013, where k-12 was implemented in the Philippines but high school still starts at seventh grade. 7th to 10th grade is junior high and 11th to 12th is senior high. We don’t have 9th graders as freshmens or 10th as sophomores) Usually, our school starts within the month of June but because of the ECQ, our school starts in July with online classes and August for school irl :)) i hope you all get that. I’m impressed you guys are still reminding me, thank you for that because in the next few months, my next update will be here :))
update (september 10, 2020) : Sadly i don't think i can start my first year of high school right. We just have online classes with the same classmates.....
update (june 26, 2021) : well uhmm… I feel like i lost friends? I hate this pandemic so much but at the same time I like taking online classes because i hate going outside. I KNOW i did soo bad in school but i’m in high honors for some reason?? It feels off because i know a lot did better than me this whole school year. No new friends, didn’t really meet new people or even talked to people who I haven’t to before pre-covid… or even talk to my classmates. I changed for the worst honestly. I hate it so much I want to cry.
update (august 29, 2021) : second year of high school here i come... during summer i only had a few chances to talk or hang out with my friends, i kinda want to move schools next year.
update (april 26, 2022) : Last school year, 9th grade was quite a sad year for me. I was struggling with communicating with my friends or anyone outside my house at all. But during the start of 2022, I decided to become ‘myself’ again or just try becoming more 'friendly' and open myself up more to my friends. Guess what? I have talked to soooo many people!! I got a new friend too ^^ I’m really really happy. School's very stressful since i’m a ‘junior high school completer’ and was assigned to be a leader in many group projects, which is the number one reason why i got to chat with my classmates ^^ really really happy about that. I hope when me and my friends meet again, by the time i edit this again, won’t be as awkward as when we met a few months ago. I hope so.
update (october 15, 2023) : guess what. I’m a senior now!!! a lot has happened. I guess this speech is starting to work for me… During 10th grade nothing much quite happened, still the same old me. I moved to a different place with my sister, we live in an apartment with just us two because my sister got in her dream university here and i decided to follow (and my parents let me hehe). Well, during 11th grade I felt super happy I was able to feel comfortable with my classmates. All of my classmates were able to talk to me and I was “me” again during middle school, the same me who can speak to anyone without having to think twice.. Although i wouldn’t have done it without my boyfriend. I met him during 11th grade and we’re happily in a relationship for 8 months now in two days (TMI…) For friends? I guess you could say it’s the same to no friend (excluding my bf) to talk to always for rants, gossips, etc. But I have a friend group who are kind to me and doesn’t say mean stuff to me in a really insulting and backhanded way… We have research projects now and I’m always the leader, so it’s been really stressful. But i’m so happy with school rn (about classmates), I feel like i’ve slowed down with academics, but I feel happier and better^^
update (may 17, 2024) I’LL BE GRADUATING IN 5 WEEKS!!

+Littleman3001 I beg to differ and disagree .. 8 minutes and 51seconds ago you didn't know that watching this video would not change your life .. so that in and of itself is a life changing impact (-:
+Paul P then technically it did change your life so you would know and it wouldn't be life changing... wait...
+Littleman3001
It doesn't promise to change your life for the better.
+Littleman3001 from a biological point of view this is incorrect and couldn't be further from the truth. You are and never will be the same as you were when you were writing that. Cells die off, some renew Mitosis and Meiosis all aspects of you not being the same you as you were when writing this. The fact that you don't control this or that your perception of yourself hasn't changed at all is something entirely different.

Very mature speech from a bright young man.
Loved the part where he finished the rubix cube, said goodbye to high schoo, and then when saying hello to college he puuls the much bigger rubix cube. That was a good one!
He was so nervous during his speech but I love his speech its so entertaining and he also inspired me to do more study harder and never give up on anything that I want to achieve.
yes!
This speech really did change my life. I am now a high school dropout who after hearing this speech realized that college and high school is too much work. I now work at McDonalds. Please don't buy the big macs and sodas it is my only source of food and drinks.

I'm just gonna guess this was randomly in your recommendations.

Nah watching it to analyze for a speech class.
Life is easy: be yourself. That's it. That's the key. People love when others be themselves because it's something new. Something refreshing. People try so hard to fit in by associating and changing for others when they could do it so much more easily by just being themselves. That's all anyone ever needs to hear... BE YOURSELF!
You have so little experience. You can't judge the difficulty of life for everyone.
That's honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People become themselves by learning and sampling other behaviors; we test and see what we like. And this freak experiment goes on until the day we die. Those different personalities are harnessed from people of all stripes and fuse to create a new element. How does someone just "Be themselves"? You don't get your own manual when you're born.
John Rose Clearly I didn't mean disregard everything anyone says ever. Do it when it counts... when you have to share an opinion or suggest an idea. Instead of following others, lead by example. Yes we have to consider others and sometimes refrain from actions that will harm a lot more than it will do good but for the most part being yourself and doing what you think is the best is the way to go if you want to live a fulfilling life.
Simone Schmitz It's because I have the experience I do that I know this is the right choice. Clinging to others means you are reliant on them for support... without them, you fail.
You didn't get a manual when you were born? You poor bastardian. You must be a freakishly boring ogre.
It was a metaphor .

I loved this speech! What an insightful way to relate high school life's craziness, and in extension, all of our life, in a humorous way. I loved the way you related it to a Rubik's cube, but I thought it was remarkable how you involved your musical classmate in the speech as well. Obviously, your classmates loved it- and I did too! From an observer years later on youtube, in Texas. Great job, Mr. Aquino! :)
