Not to say people should complain all the time about it, but even back in the late 2000s, owning a home required "being extraordinary". Not "owning Leno's car garage" and not "owning a cathedral". Owning a single family home. There is a problem with this, and that's coming from someone who rents out a few of them. Blackstone, Blackrock and the rest of the WEF have a monopoly on "middle class living". You are chasing lambos and ferraris, when you should be chasing night vision and high end rifles. Something bad is possibly in store for us. The WEF absolutely loathes the U.S., because we're the only country that can put up an effective fight. If you're going to rat race, do it to preserve standard of living. Vacuum sealers, O2 absorbers, mylar, water bricks, ammo cans, armor, shelving and more shelving. You can't eat a lambo.
Oh and to destroy anyone that wants to "hurr tinfoil hat", look up "ESG" and look up "ESG Larry Fink". They who control the corporations, control the governments, control the world. Don't chase dollars. Chase items. They can't print infinite gold, ammo (I wish they'd try, because it'd make it cheaper) or food. They can't print land. They can't print your mind.
1. Take full responsibility of your life 2. Identify your unfair advantages 3. Determine your directions. 4. Be consistent and discipline 5. Learn to ignore 6. Give yourself constant feedback
Most billionaires DID NOT struggle to start a business. And that's not an opinion, we have actual DATE on social mobility. social mobility is very low. Most people are "old money". And even those who did got RICHER weren't POOR when they started. That's BS according to data, sorry. Machiavelli himself said in The Prince that ALL depends on "fortuna" and "virtù". and go on with MANY examples where stupid people got power because of sheer luck and talented people failed against unthinkable odds. Videos like that only focus on "virtu. That's half or even less of the picture.
@@JohnnyLynnLee Thanks for saying that. It keeps getting put under the rug. Rich people get richer, usually. Not only there, either, even in the arts it's usually people from already wealthy families becoming successful. It is absolutely possible to get ahead if you're poor. It's just bazillion times harder, includes a LOT of luck, and your success isn't as sure as people like you to believe. But to be fair, if you're not committed to trying, you will never succeed. That's just not an excuse to not want change in an unjust society in which being successful is vastly determined by how rich your family is. But that too shouldn't stop you from trying.
Valid criticism can come from a variety of sources, perhaps especially those we otherwise wouldn't take advice from. These types of universalisms just aren't helpful, because everyone is different and a unique perspective and life experience can occasionally, even if we assumed the person was failing, offer a vantage point that you haven't thought of before. In fact, sometimes it's exactly that failing - and even that jealousy - that can offer you a unique insight into something that you have overlooked in your own success and avoid their pitfall.
But if you have a vision and goal others criticize because they don’t understand or want you to stay in a position that benefits THEM, not you:STAY TRUE TO YOUR INSTINCTS. And surround yourself with others who help you achieve your goals and do everything the best. Criticism is good when it’s constructive. Just keep your own values and goals strong.Don’t be held back by others worries.
Here is a thing which I have heard which have truly impacted my life and could impact yours too! Life is like a game of cards, everyone gets their own deck of cards. You can peek at most decks and awe in jealousy: "wow I wish I had that persons deck" or "that person is lucky to have that deck", but in reality what you should be doing is upgrading your own deck of cards. Every deck is upgradable and you should be upgrading your deck to its utmost potential
Ruri, from one business owner / entrepreneur to another, I just wanted to say that I'm super proud of your hard work and accomplishments. Great work! Soon you'll be over 1 million. well deserved!
Some key takeaways: - Living an ordinary life will not lead to an extraordinary life. - People who criticize you for trying to be exceptional are usually those who have already accepted mediocrity. - It's important to use your unfair advantages to your benefit to get ahead of 99% of people. - Hard work alone won't make you successful, but a combination of your unfair advantages, hard work, grit, patience, and consistency will. - To create an extraordinary life, take full responsibility for your actions and decisions, stop blaming external factors, and focus on the things you can control.
- you may have a different idea of perfect than others. Depending on factors for e.g different values. No one is bad or good. It's just different. -having a feedback and measure ur progress and self monitoring yourself and make changes. - take suggestions or postive criticism from people you respect.
The fact that only 1% can be the 1% and not everyone else should be taken into account either. Because there is a reason why only 1% is that many people and not the other way around. NOT EVERYONE CAN ACHIEVE GREATNESS and EXCEL IN LIFE and one individual without being a self limitation, has to be aware and acknowledgeable of what he can or can not do, and where can he push things up to. Because frustration and bitterness can end up ruining your life, pushing and fighting for the 1% for the whole life... it's just a thought.
This video makes %100 sense. There is not a single detail that I find incomplete or unnecessary. Your story hit me hard and inspired me even more. I hope we can perform the actions that we decide to take.
Her story is not reality, capitalism work against you as an individual, AI is going to replace most jobs eventually, you won't become part of the 1% and neither will Ruri. She also neglect to mention survival bias, you don't see the thousands of people that failed their dreams, you only see those who made it. For each Elon Musk there is tens of thousands of people that went bankrupt with their own company.
@@dud324 The difference between being the top 5% and the top 1% is larger than the difference between living in rural Africa and a rich modern country.
The only thing that bothers is the double edge sword metaphor xD. But that's because my brain sees the sword thinks you can kill this way and kill that way then stab the smart one that runs up to you. Then sheath the weapon after use. 🥴
The intro about how a very successful person won’t make fun of you for trying to get started in something difficult and ambitious is a really good insight.
1:56 - 3:11 As someone who grew around the 1% (Potomac MD USA) and did K-12 with their kids in the 90s (1993-2005) when I came to the the USA from Jamaica, had to stop here! Saying nothing of the raw math that 100% of people can't fit the 1%. The other 99% that did all the things that the 1% did, yet didn't get into the 1%... are probably going to take umbrage that their finite life got wasted! However... First: Going to the gym is literally about getting 'fit'! No one goes to the gym for weeks, months, years, their entire life, expecting to look the exact same as the first day they walked in! All of what you claimed going to the gym was about, can be achieved just as much with far easier work (and with little if any risk of physical injury) by doing most anything else! Before anyone gets on my nuts, I've been going to the gym since 2013, I have vids up of me squatting 500lbs and deadlifting 600lbs, so save it! Second: Fact is there's no shortage of people that work infinitely harder, take responsibility and all the other foolishness you said, in countries in Africa, Asia, the mid east, etc. and they will never get more than the rich b!+ch - trust fund baby - @$$ holes in, say, California! I don't know how old you are, but all the people that you demonized at the beginning of the video are the ones that realize that playing a game that's already rigged so that you have a 75-99.99+% chance of losing, no matter what you do and of no fault of your own, is imbecilic! 'Learning the rules' and 'playing accordingly' instead of 'complaining and loosing' ...only to lose any way, because the game is rigged (and it is) is reet-harded! Lastly: Perhaps instead of the pawn - hamster wheel mindset that you posit, try asking - who (if not god or nature) is making the 'rules'?! - what makes that mortal human have the right to make rules for anyone but themself?! - why is it that this system with these 'rules' are the only... you know what, go watch 'Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal' on netflix! Start there! If the 1% did what they did in the documentary (and considering where I grew up... yeah they did, that documentary doesn't know the half of it), just for college, what chance does the 99% have, considering how hard they had to work just for the same admission?! No one is getting ahead of 99% and into the 1% unless they - lie - cheat - steal Following the rules and being fair and moral will only get one so far, and it's not in the 1%!
So sorry to hear that your uncle scammed you guys, that's awful. Well done on your accomplishments and work ethic. This is inspiring and people should listen to it. Sometimes if someone is younger we automatically dismiss it as naive optimism but just becsuse you're young doesn't mean you haven't suffered strived or struggled. Very inspiring stuff well done you and thankyou for inspiring us too
You've mentioned that now achieving your goals and hard work are called unhealthy which, i think, is true. Now our life is so fast, we can't even listen to ourselves. Anyone who is reading this comment right now, you don't need to be "ahead of 99% of people", do whatever that will make you comfortable in life and satisfied with yourself.
I agree with your sentiment but it can be a double edged sword. If someone is content with their life but are unaware of it’s negative consequences, that in turn becomes more toxic. People should always yearn to improve themselves in a way that fits their lifestyle. However I do agree that “getting ahead of 99% of people” shouldn’t be the goal for everyone.
The fact is that AI is the future of all work, not man. Capitalism is a horrible system for most people, it ruin third world countries, it destroy our environment and eventually as I mentioned, we are going to be replaced with machines and AI systems, you have no control over this, you are simply a passenger waiting for the crash. What are the teenagers supposed to do when their jobs vanish before they even graduate? All of a sudden their skills and hard effort has no meaning anymore, they have to retrain themselves for some other job.
All the points you said in this video I totally agree with. ONLY listen to the people who you want to be like. My parents always say "You'll never become a real artist with the stuff that I draw", yet the things that I draw and how I practice is an unfair advantage that I easily took to my advantage because of my ADHD. ADHD is an unfair advantage that's easy to benefit from because you have a different mindset then everyone else, and that everyone else are the people who mostly fail. So if anyone is reading this, I hope you have a very successful life as I have the same hope for mine. Thank you so much Ruri for making this video and teaching me how to work harder than the other 99% of people. This was honestly very helpful!
@@lukehodder4728 That actually depends a lot. If you have adhd and you get forced / manipulated into a job that doesn‘t fit / interest (e.g. because that job is safe, pays well, is respected by society, …) you it can f*** your health up pretty badly (can lead to burnout very quickly). Also, not everyone who has it get’s diagnosed. Really, it’s either a big advantage or disadvantage. Nothing in between. If your interested you will do great. If you find it boring you will be compensating so much for your lack of interest that it exhausts very quickly. It’s either hyperfocus (if your on the right path) or lack of interest (on the wrong path) that leads to an exhausting amount of masking yourselfsand compensating your symptoms until you burn out. I didn’t know about ad(h)d for most of my life and chose a safe job, so I’m writing from experience. Just recently I realized the advantages that I couldn‘t benefit from until now.
@@Slaaneshy_Concubine Now that you say that, I definitely makes a lot more sense why it is so hard for me to do calculus right now. I get so bored and end up watching youtube while I do my calculus homework and it takes me 5 hours to do something that should take 1 hour(at the most 2). So rn im not utilizing the hyperfocus I could be if it was something I enjoyed. So I try to change my mindset about the work but at the end of the day its math and I hate it so its hard to do. So ig that means I should definetly try and find something I enjoy doing over something that pays well and I hate doing.
@@lukehodder4728 well that‘s at least my experience. Everyone is different, including people with ad(h)d. If calculus really doesn‘t work for you (despite trying to focus and giving it your all) then it might not be for you. But it also depends how important calculus is in your job, training, studies, … If it‘s just a small part and the rest works good then I don‘t thing it‘s a good reason for quitting. In my case for example, I was bored by almost every task I had to do. That definitely wasn‘t for me. If the boring stuff would have been like only 25% or something like that I wouldn‘t have burnt out so quickly.
I have a lot of respect for this woman. It's rare that I feel that way about a random person on the internet, but you've demonstrated almost every trait I value greatest in humans: grit, redefinition, vision, and relentless criticisms of oneself, coupled tightly with personal responsibility. You have and will continue to do things others only dream of.

This is so true. Nobody around me understands why I have such a huge desire to improve and why I'm going for harder jobs and things. Nobody gets it around me except my boyfriend who showed me that constant improvement is very rewarding and it actually makes me feel like I'm alive. It's not for everyone yes but some of us desire it and it's annoying how people make you seem bad or toxic for it. It can be very lonely too because you get disconnected for a lot of people. Glad to see I'm not the only one with desires like this. Thanks Ruri.
We all start going to the gym to look better, but somewhere along the way, it changes us in a way nothing else I've experienced can. Gives new perspective, discipline, and respect.
I believe in I am not like others but people thought i am a pick me and said you are not special. I said that not because I was arrogant but because i thought most people are living their life mindlessly having no purpose also i am a pessimistic person i notice the dark and disgusting side of world more. This video was so relatable.
I was someone who craved success and personal growth, but I was not able to get started. As I watched your videos, I realized how obsessed I was with unnecessary things, and that all I had to do was start. I have been changing my life in the direction I want, taking small steps for some time now. Thank you very much for this. I will continue to follow your content closely, and I hope we have the opportunity to meet in the future.
Thank you for your videos, at the beginning of this year I was mentally unstable and wasn't doing very well. With the help of your videos, I have found myself achieving more than I would've ever been capable of if I hadn't been exposed to your teachings. Much appreciation!!
If being ahead of 99% of people is something that brings you joy, then go for it! But please remember, not competing with others doesn't mean you're settling for average or being a loser. Success isn't just about outshining everyone. It's about finding what makes you happy and fulfilled. So whether you choose to strive for greatness or focus on personal growth, both paths are valid and deserving of respect.
We get your point. We have different values, but the video is talking about being on the top 1% and we all know what that means.. other people may settle for other things in life and value them more than a prosperous one and be part of the 99% and still be happy and feel successful, but the top 1% feels otherwise, they have the obligation to manifest their visions, no matter how high, that doesn't make us bad to be part of the 99% though, but to be part of top 1% , these people need to get out of bounds of the 99% group
Just listened to it while doing my evening run and it was a great motivator to start tomorrow even stronger! Big respect to you hearing about your own journey, Ruri!
So much power in what you said, even at 42 through all of my experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly have been steppingstones. Career, selfcare, relationships have all been building blocks to show me what needs improvement. My favorite saying is " Work with the cards you have been dealt, not the ones you don't have. You can always add more cards, it's your actions and not your words that dictate where you're headed." I work on myself every day, always striving to be better than I was yesterday.
This video makes me want to cry from joy. And most importantly I'm on the right path and I just need to remind myself to not give up on my dreams. Thank you very much dear you are a wonderful person transforming your own life and helping others to do so.
I'm only 6 minutes into the video, and I'm already tearing up. Lately, I've been procrastinating a little too much, I stay in bed longer than I should, I scroll my social media more than needed and I've let laziness take over me. Thank you for making this video so far it is very motivational for me. I will get back on track!
when i first watched her videos, she had about 250k subscribers but now she almost have a million subscribers. It proves her advice works if you stay consistent and she herself is an example. Thankyou for this!! really appreciate you
So fluid, so simple, so deep, I admire people like you. You speak from experience not from other mouths. Your path is not my path, but is a strong example to keep digging and never lose your hope!
You're a wonderful person with a rich soul. It must have been difficult for you after listening to your story, but the results clearly show it was worth it. I love how you just spoke directly without pandering to anyone. This is what I and a lot of people need to hear. I'll still make excuses for myself and fall over multiple times, but people like you and Dr. Huberman as well as others, keep me sane. Thank you.
I randomly got recommended your videos this week, and I have to say that they couldn't have come at a better time. My life is kind of a mess right now, and the lack of structure is starting to catch up and overwhelm me. I really want to thank you for doing these and putting them up on youtube, so that they can give people inspiration and a framework from which to start off from. My most sincerest thank you.
Excellent Content. I watch all of TH-cam at 1.75 . You are one of the few presenters that I consider having to slow it down. Thank you!! At that speed I have to pay attention. You have my attention.
Congratulations on your massive success and hard work! The word is scrutiny, not scrunity. Thank you so much for ❤ taking the time out to make this video!
You are one of the few TH-cam creators who care about taking time ⌚ and reading comments and hearting ❤ them. This really shows your dedication and passion towards what you do. I wish if I could do only little bit of what you do, my life would drastically improve for the better 😇.
I watched this video like a millions of times, but It never fails to make me feel inspired. Even if i doubt myself, it gives me strength to keep going. This video makes me feel deeply understood. All the people in my life just tell me to relax and not stress. They just simply don't get what I am doing no matter how much I try to explain. Now own I am going to ignore them right away. Thank you, Ruri, for always inspiring us and providing us with high-quality content. 🌼🌷✨️
This was a really insightful watch! Hope I can write out another PoV, while not disagreeing with your PoV: I'm not a competitive person at all. I'm an ambitious introvert and don't concern myself with social circles / peers / competing. And so I cannot relate at all to the sentiment - "How to get ahead of 99% of people". All my life I've strived only to get ahead of myself, and who I was yesterday, and the day before that. I'm a Game Developer / Game Artist, and my portfolio / art / skills had to be reborn over and over before I succeeded after my entire 20-30s. I only held myself accountable and in competition with myself, and the success fell into place naturally. I don't look at someone else and think "I'm ahead of you", "I'm the top 1%", "I'll sleep better because you're beneath me". I mentor people who would be considered adversaries, and learn from them. Since I work in my own business / indie studio, seeing everyone succeed with me, means I succeed too. There's no incentive to 1up them. What I'm pursuing is such a niche, so people around me aren't competition. I don't think any less of someone who's a trucker, or laborer, or a farmer either. Every person plays a part that keeps the structure and fabric of civilization running around me like clockwork, so I can continue to make art. I'd also like to say, I'd like to be in the higher ~20-30% in terms of money, never 1-5%, because I can maintain a balance of leverage, and living life a little. In the last 20 years of struggling, there's nothing I really look back on fondly. I didn't date at all, didn't maintain friendships, my family is away from me, I just worked and worked and the world revolved around me, my health, my work, my money. What I see mediocre about someone basic, they'd also find mediocre things about me. Time is finite. I suceeded in career & money, and failed at everything else. They succeed at everything else, and failed at career & money. In my 30s I want to change that, prioritize the simpler things in life, and enjoy the returns of my hard work in balance while not being complacent. "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." - Albert Einstein.
You're so young, but it's impressive the way you have to explain certain things You definitely deserve to be amongst the most popular content creators here :)
I am about to finish my final exam period, ending high school (watching Ruri the night before the exam haha) but this perfectly constructed video really gave me the confidence with my unfinished projects and the reasons why I planned to follow them after study season as strict as I can. You really make my mood and always flood me with motivation even in tiring studying times! Thank you Ruri!
I was born in 1960 and got my first laptop at 45 years of age. For the next 10- I really didn't know what to do with it other than surf the internet "when" I had internet access. I lived by the creativity of my hands. Cut to 2019, just before the pandemic, I finally got consistent internet and began to open my "digital" eyes. Holy cow! At first, it was coming to realize how much was out there, and how "far" behind I was as a 59-year-old. Since that time, I have been SOAKING IT UP LIKE A SPONGE"! One of the things I have come to learn is that-most of what I am learning is all from YOUNGER PEOPLE! Ruri- you are so inspirational to me, I can barely stand inside my skin! You're one of my informal professors at YOU-TOOB UNIVERSITY! It blows me away the reach that you, and others like you, have attained via TH-cam. You are WAY inspirational in this video and have laid out important GEMS of knowledge. Wow! Good on you Ruri!!! And lastly, there could be no doubt that you are wicked intelligent, perceptive, and deep, but I have to say your physical beauty isn't hurting you a bit. You help & inspire me! Thank you! Over an out.
this video topic is everything I constantly think about. I was delighted to see someone express thoughts similar to mine and in such an informative way. I’ve honestly felt lonely when it comes to finding people to talk to about this stuff because most people don’t get it. Thank you for showing that I’m not alone and reaffirming my values!!
you're absolutely right Ruri, many people around us don't like to see us achieve something. im an Indonesian but i always try to improve my english in my videos. and the sad story is people around me make fun of it and some of them fell jealous of me 😂
I am glad AF for have found this channel, It changed my life. It was the inspiration that I needed to grow up and Go after everything that I want in my life. Thank u Ruri, hope your family is going well. ❤
Thank You so much Ruri! You don't know how much I needed this! This video just popped up out of nowhere, that too when I needed it the most! Thank you God! And God Bless you!!
Every time I try to treat your videos as typical motivational content, you always manage to move me with your sincerity and genuinely valuable insights. I once experienced a similar downfall in my family's financial situation, as you did. My stepfather gambled away every penny of our family's wealth, leaving my mother and me with millions in debt. However, like you, I didn't give up on myself. Thus, I deeply resonate with the past experiences you've shared. Regardless, I will officially start my TH-cam channel this week, and I hope that one day we can meet at the summit of a million subscribers.
wow. the biggest challenge and the worst times in your life made you the amazingly successful person you are today. Life works in such mysterious ways. I experienced similar things.
love it. "unfair advantage" is something overlooked by so many. no matter where you are you in life. you have an unfair advantage. Each person is special and being unique is not what you are born with but what unfair advantage you FIND or DISCOVER with hard work of introspection, study, trial/error, consistent pursuing your goals without giving up.
Ruri, I stopped following the mass of youtubers , you are one of the few I still watch. You are very thoughtful and reasonable, and it is rare these days. I admire your work and I'm very grateful I found your channel. You inspire me to keep pursuing my passions. I wish you more success in the future. Svetla, 23 yo
Thank you very much for the video from Odesa, Ukraine. You have an extremely high-quality picture and sound, I can only imagine how much time you spent to get such an outstanding result, I am shocked by how beautifully, clearly and transparently you express your wise thoughts. You motivate me to continue.
You’re videos feel super relatable about things I’ve always had in my mind and even learned so much from you,I needed this more than ever, thank you Ruri!
Whoever told you your channel is "cringey" was jealous that you're actually creating something. I know it's difficult to tell when compliments are genuine because people will blow smoke up to make you like them, but trust me, your channel is far from cringey. It's these channels that continue to give me inspiration in my path towards language learning and completing nursing school.
I am amazed her speech was not scripted at all... The whole time she is looking at the camera directly and never stop speaking her motivational speech.
Моя дорогая, спасибо за видео! Иногда когда смотришь на успешных людей кажется, что это всё им досталось просто так, а на самом деле за всем этим успехом стоят сотни и тысячи тяжелых часов упорной работы
It's hard to maintain discipline, after failing several times I always wonder if it's possible, but videos like yours are important to keep on track, thank you
This is the best perspective of life and making progress regardless of how many obstacles we might face and taking advantage of the time, whatever it takes we would achieve it differently, Thank you Ruri, for this video, this video you made has been springing from the bottom of your heart explaining the obstacles that you encountered and how you got through them, and what is the motive of yours.
To anyone reading this, you are already in the top 1%. Not because you watched the video, but because you are. You are not just 99% but 100% different from others, and no one can beat that. Now, let’s get up, pick up that pencil, drink tea, sleep, run, talk… whatever you do, you are just one step more closer to your goal. You will be 101%! The intro did not fully resonate with me. Sure, no one can stop anyone from striving to be in the top 1%. I also find Ruri’s advices and info helpful. However, I would contemplate about having the “be in the top 1%” mindset - it could be toxic depending on how you process it. For example, there always will be a top 1% within that 1%; you can think of this statement negatively or positively, but either way you will always be striving for more. Here lies the issue; If you are not happy/fulfilled now, you will probably never be happy/fulfilled/successful (or whatever you desire in life). It’s ok to strive for the top 1% or even the best, but let’s make sure you have the right attitude toward this mindset. ❤
i fully agree with this! i feel like this mindset could definitely be toxic for me, and communicate that who i am right now is nothing special and that getting to the top "1%" will be super overwhelming. my takeaway from the video would just be to make sure to strive for improvement and learn from your mistakes, and take breaks to avoid burnout and to just overall enjoy life as well.
After all the motivation videos I have been through I have concluded that everything boils down to Consistency. Consistency is that which will put you ahead from the 99%.
Thank you, Ruri!! You're a shining example to all of us out there who are constantly seeking to get better - keep trying, keep working hard, and never give up
Just came back from doctor.. I figured it out I have “ADHD”.. When everything seems so dark, this video is a HOPE for me.. I’ll figure it out how to deal with it watching your videos.. Thank you for the amazing video!! I wish to come back here again “better” and see you and thank YOU ♡
I've come across dozens of motivation-like videos but this one sure hits different. Thank you so much for your hard work and that you keep inspiring us Ruri!!
How in the hell do you get to be so wise at such a young age? Ruri is miraculous! I look forward to following her evolution and seeing how she applies herself to our world post (and outside of) TH-cam. I vote Ruri for president of the future world federation!
This video is truly remarkable as it presents a genuine portrayal of reality. Your sincerity, both with yourself and others, shines through brilliantly. I was deeply moved by this content, so much so that I felt compelled to leave a comment, which is something I rarely do. Kudos to TH-cam's algorithm for recommending this video to me, and congratulations to you for consistently producing such outstanding work. Keep up the great job!
You are an incredible inspiration, Ruri! You really made me think about my unfair advantages and how to use them to get ahead in life. Absolutely loved your video.
When i first way hed the video, i was like yeah i can be a successful person and started studying hard, exercising etc. But sometimes i feel like im losing my motivation and boom i watched the video again, i gained my motivation again. So now when i started to lose my focus, i come and watch this again. Thanks Ruri!
This video is so inspiring. Recently I've been demotivated and stressed because I could see so many friends doing better than me at school. I was really worried. You know, school life in Asia is a heavy competition, if your friends are the better then you have no choice but to be the worse. However, after watching this I finally knew what to do. Thanks a lot:D
Damn I don't often comment on videos but good points, I actually had many of them ingrained in me before. Nice. I especially am concious in putting myself in positions of no escape/ no quiting after I read Art of War. Then there is no option for me but one: succeed.
Hey man, thanks for this, I'm inspired on how far you have come. It has motivated me to reflect on why I want to become more successful as well- my family. Often find it hard to push myself but I have to realise how important and urgent my own personal mission is. Now, how to do this without putting too much pressure on myself is something I need to focus on. It feels like pushing through a wall at times, and I often spend my energy on things that aren't as productive. One of my aims are to try and complete things that are valuable and or extremely useful.
Dear Ruri, this video was helpful indeed yet It can be like a double-edged sword. When seeing content or ideas like these one can quickly get into a mode of thinking that destroys each and evey effort one is trying to build. I struggled with this a LOT. You start to think that you are not good enough in everything you do. When I started this I was so ambitious and my stubbornness and tenacity failed me because I tried to lift more and more and trying to improve all kind of things all at once and overloaded because I was constantly thinking that what I do would not be good enough. But I realised that working hours isnt an option, making yourself wear out either. You have to get more out than you give in or otherwise It wont help you for example to study or work hard. Working smart is better than working hard and this fallacy really destroys mentally. Yet I dont know how to balance it. When I am low I do what I can and what is necessary yet when I get even a little bit of energy I again start to think to do everything all at once and overdoing it. I dont know if someone can relate but I will nevertheless try to build a life that is beautiful.
This video has been such a joy listening to! It was a little over two years ago, when I started my self improvement journey and your video helped me estimate where I‘m currently standing and what I want to improve on. Thank you very much!

learn science, not all the BS you talked about here
Maybe your personality suck too, simply base on your look😅 one of your unfair advantage
Not to say people should complain all the time about it, but even back in the late 2000s, owning a home required "being extraordinary". Not "owning Leno's car garage" and not "owning a cathedral". Owning a single family home.
There is a problem with this, and that's coming from someone who rents out a few of them. Blackstone, Blackrock and the rest of the WEF have a monopoly on "middle class living".
You are chasing lambos and ferraris, when you should be chasing night vision and high end rifles. Something bad is possibly in store for us. The WEF absolutely loathes the U.S., because we're the only country that can put up an effective fight.
If you're going to rat race, do it to preserve standard of living. Vacuum sealers, O2 absorbers, mylar, water bricks, ammo cans, armor, shelving and more shelving. You can't eat a lambo.
Oh and to destroy anyone that wants to "hurr tinfoil hat", look up "ESG" and look up "ESG Larry Fink". They who control the corporations, control the governments, control the world.
Don't chase dollars. Chase items. They can't print infinite gold, ammo (I wish they'd try, because it'd make it cheaper) or food. They can't print land. They can't print your mind.
Will you marry me please 😅.
1. Take full responsibility of your life
2. Identify your unfair advantages
3. Determine your directions.
4. Be consistent and discipline
5. Learn to ignore
6. Give yourself constant feedback
What a hero. Fuck dragging yourself through 20 minutes of some ESL's dodgy English.
Thanks
people are as you pursue one purpose, quickly gathering entire information without important narrative, that's not true way
Most billionaires DID NOT struggle to start a business. And that's not an opinion, we have actual DATE on social mobility. social mobility is very low. Most people are "old money". And even those who did got RICHER weren't POOR when they started. That's BS according to data, sorry.
Machiavelli himself said in The Prince that ALL depends on "fortuna" and "virtù". and go on with MANY examples where stupid people got power because of sheer luck and talented people failed against unthinkable odds. Videos like that only focus on "virtu. That's half or even less of the picture.
@@JohnnyLynnLee Thanks for saying that. It keeps getting put under the rug. Rich people get richer, usually. Not only there, either, even in the arts it's usually people from already wealthy families becoming successful.
It is absolutely possible to get ahead if you're poor. It's just bazillion times harder, includes a LOT of luck, and your success isn't as sure as people like you to believe. But to be fair, if you're not committed to trying, you will never succeed. That's just not an excuse to not want change in an unjust society in which being successful is vastly determined by how rich your family is. But that too shouldn't stop you from trying.
"If you wouldn't ask advice of someone, don't take criticism from them" is such an incredible quote
Valid criticism can come from a variety of sources, perhaps especially those we otherwise wouldn't take advice from. These types of universalisms just aren't helpful, because everyone is different and a unique perspective and life experience can occasionally, even if we assumed the person was failing, offer a vantage point that you haven't thought of before. In fact, sometimes it's exactly that failing - and even that jealousy - that can offer you a unique insight into something that you have overlooked in your own success and avoid their pitfall.
@@VesperAegis thats where critical thinking comes in, sometimes criticism is a good thing to take and learn from
@@DXM339 Absolutely. The more brutal and honest, the better. Antifragility is king.
But if you have a vision and goal others criticize because they don’t understand or want you to stay in a position that benefits THEM, not you:STAY TRUE TO YOUR INSTINCTS. And surround yourself with others who help you achieve your goals and do everything the best. Criticism is good when it’s constructive.
Just keep your own values and goals strong.Don’t be held back by others worries.
I don’t get it… can you give me an example
Imagine if 8 billion people watch this and everyone gets magically ahead of 99% people
Just watching changes nothing. Change is done by taking action which is something 99% of the people won’t do 💯
idk how that would work
Humanity will progress as a whole and the top 1% would be the best of the best.
@@ruriohama Ruri, you're the great national pride for both Japan and Türkiye (I'm tatar btw)
@thebosstarfish bro wtf you spoiled for me I hate you I’m in season 3
Here is a thing which I have heard which have truly impacted my life and could impact yours too!
Life is like a game of cards, everyone gets their own deck of cards. You can peek at most decks and awe in jealousy: "wow I wish I had that persons deck" or "that person is lucky to have that deck", but in reality what you should be doing is upgrading your own deck of cards. Every deck is upgradable and you should be upgrading your deck to its utmost potential
Ruri, from one business owner / entrepreneur to another, I just wanted to say that I'm super proud of your hard work and accomplishments. Great work! Soon you'll be over 1 million. well deserved!
Thank you❤️
Since when is posting videos on a website you don't own a "business" lol
@@roarbertbearatheon8565 you own a brand that earns you revenue monthly it’s really not that far off my friend
@@roarbertbearatheon8565 you are the prime example of the people ruri mentions in the video :D
omg how I love all these modern 'enterpreneurs' and 'businessmen' 😏
Some key takeaways:
- Living an ordinary life will not lead to an extraordinary life.
- People who criticize you for trying to be exceptional are usually those who have already accepted mediocrity.
- It's important to use your unfair advantages to your benefit to get ahead of 99% of people.
- Hard work alone won't make you successful, but a combination of your unfair advantages, hard work, grit, patience, and consistency will.
- To create an extraordinary life, take full responsibility for your actions and decisions, stop blaming external factors, and focus on the things you can control.
- you may have a different idea of perfect than others. Depending on factors for e.g different values. No one is bad or good. It's just different.
-having a feedback and measure ur progress and self monitoring yourself and make changes.
- take suggestions or postive criticism from people you respect.
The fact that only 1% can be the 1% and not everyone else should be taken into account either. Because there is a reason why only 1% is that many people and not the other way around. NOT EVERYONE CAN ACHIEVE GREATNESS and EXCEL IN LIFE and one individual without being a self limitation, has to be aware and acknowledgeable of what he can or can not do, and where can he push things up to. Because frustration and bitterness can end up ruining your life, pushing and fighting for the 1% for the whole life... it's just a thought.
This video makes %100 sense. There is not a single detail that I find incomplete or unnecessary. Your story hit me hard and inspired me even more. I hope we can perform the actions that we decide to take.
Her story is not reality, capitalism work against you as an individual, AI is going to replace most jobs eventually, you won't become part of the 1% and neither will Ruri. She also neglect to mention survival bias, you don't see the thousands of people that failed their dreams, you only see those who made it. For each Elon Musk there is tens of thousands of people that went bankrupt with their own company.
@@Danuxsy the fact you're even on her video at all cements her as the 10% and that's not a very easy feat to achieve so she's doing something right :>
@@dud324 The difference between being the top 5% and the top 1% is larger than the difference between living in rural Africa and a rich modern country.
The only thing that bothers is the double edge sword metaphor xD. But that's because my brain sees the sword thinks you can kill this way and kill that way then stab the smart one that runs up to you. Then sheath the weapon after use. 🥴
The intro about how a very successful person won’t make fun of you for trying to get started in something difficult and ambitious is a really good insight.
1:56 - 3:11
As someone who grew around the 1% (Potomac MD USA) and did K-12 with their kids in the 90s (1993-2005) when I came to the the USA from Jamaica, had to stop here!
Saying nothing of the raw math that 100% of people can't fit the 1%. The other 99% that did all the things that the 1% did, yet didn't get into the 1%... are probably going to take umbrage that their finite life got wasted! However...
First: Going to the gym is literally about getting 'fit'! No one goes to the gym for weeks, months, years, their entire life, expecting to look the exact same as the first day they walked in! All of what you claimed going to the gym was about, can be achieved just as much with far easier work (and with little if any risk of physical injury) by doing most anything else! Before anyone gets on my nuts, I've been going to the gym since 2013, I have vids up of me squatting 500lbs and deadlifting 600lbs, so save it!
Second: Fact is there's no shortage of people that work infinitely harder, take responsibility and all the other foolishness you said, in countries in Africa, Asia, the mid east, etc. and they will never get more than the rich b!+ch - trust fund baby - @$$ holes in, say, California!
I don't know how old you are, but all the people that you demonized at the beginning of the video are the ones that realize that playing a game that's already rigged so that you have a 75-99.99+% chance of losing, no matter what you do and of no fault of your own, is imbecilic! 'Learning the rules' and 'playing accordingly' instead of 'complaining and loosing' ...only to lose any way, because the game is rigged (and it is) is reet-harded!
Lastly: Perhaps instead of the pawn - hamster wheel mindset that you posit, try asking
- who (if not god or nature) is making the 'rules'?!
- what makes that mortal human have the right to make rules for anyone but themself?!
- why is it that this system with these 'rules' are the only...
you know what, go watch 'Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal' on netflix! Start there! If the 1% did what they did in the documentary (and considering where I grew up... yeah they did, that documentary doesn't know the half of it), just for college, what chance does the 99% have, considering how hard they had to work just for the same admission?!
No one is getting ahead of 99% and into the 1% unless they
- lie
- cheat
- steal
Following the rules and being fair and moral will only get one so far, and it's not in the 1%!
Knowledge should be accessible for every person on this planet.
I admire you.
So sorry to hear that your uncle scammed you guys, that's awful. Well done on your accomplishments and work ethic. This is inspiring and people should listen to it. Sometimes if someone is younger we automatically dismiss it as naive optimism but just becsuse you're young doesn't mean you haven't suffered strived or struggled.
Very inspiring stuff well done you and thankyou for inspiring us too
You've mentioned that now achieving your goals and hard work are called unhealthy which, i think, is true. Now our life is so fast, we can't even listen to ourselves. Anyone who is reading this comment right now, you don't need to be "ahead of 99% of people", do whatever that will make you comfortable in life and satisfied with yourself.
I agree with your sentiment but it can be a double edged sword. If someone is content with their life but are unaware of it’s negative consequences, that in turn becomes more toxic. People should always yearn to improve themselves in a way that fits their lifestyle.
However I do agree that “getting ahead of 99% of people” shouldn’t be the goal for everyone.
Sounds like Buddhism.🙏😊
The fact is that AI is the future of all work, not man. Capitalism is a horrible system for most people, it ruin third world countries, it destroy our environment and eventually as I mentioned, we are going to be replaced with machines and AI systems, you have no control over this, you are simply a passenger waiting for the crash. What are the teenagers supposed to do when their jobs vanish before they even graduate? All of a sudden their skills and hard effort has no meaning anymore, they have to retrain themselves for some other job.
No, do what make you comfortable will keep you stay in your comfort zone forever. Do what you fear will change your life
@@triryuzaki7870 a lot of people that did what they feared DIED.
All the points you said in this video I totally agree with. ONLY listen to the people who you want to be like. My parents always say "You'll never become a real artist with the stuff that I draw", yet the things that I draw and how I practice is an unfair advantage that I easily took to my advantage because of my ADHD. ADHD is an unfair advantage that's easy to benefit from because you have a different mindset then everyone else, and that everyone else are the people who mostly fail. So if anyone is reading this, I hope you have a very successful life as I have the same hope for mine. Thank you so much Ruri for making this video and teaching me how to work harder than the other 99% of people. This was honestly very helpful!
I wish you a happy life bro, carry on 🎉
Yea ADHD is like a superpower when you can utilize it correctly👍
@@lukehodder4728 That actually depends
a lot. If you have adhd and you get forced / manipulated into a job that doesn‘t fit / interest (e.g. because that job is safe, pays well, is respected by society, …) you it can f*** your health up pretty badly (can lead to burnout very quickly). Also, not everyone who has it get’s diagnosed. Really, it’s either a big advantage or disadvantage. Nothing in between. If your interested you will do great. If you find it boring you will be compensating so much for your lack of interest that it exhausts very quickly. It’s either hyperfocus (if your on the right path) or lack of interest (on the wrong path) that leads to an exhausting amount of masking yourselfsand compensating your symptoms until you burn out.
I didn’t know about ad(h)d for most of my life and chose a safe job, so I’m writing from experience. Just recently I realized the advantages that I couldn‘t benefit from until now.
@@Slaaneshy_Concubine Now that you say that, I definitely makes a lot more sense why it is so hard for me to do calculus right now. I get so bored and end up watching youtube while I do my calculus homework and it takes me 5 hours to do something that should take 1 hour(at the most 2). So rn im not utilizing the hyperfocus I could be if it was something I enjoyed. So I try to change my mindset about the work but at the end of the day its math and I hate it so its hard to do. So ig that means I should definetly try and find something I enjoy doing over something that pays well and I hate doing.
@@lukehodder4728 well that‘s at least my experience. Everyone is different, including people with ad(h)d. If calculus really doesn‘t work for you (despite trying to focus and giving it your all) then it might not be for you. But it also depends how important calculus is in your job, training, studies, …
If it‘s just a small part and the rest works good then I don‘t thing it‘s a good reason for quitting. In my case for example, I was bored by almost every task I had to do. That definitely wasn‘t for me. If the boring stuff would have been like only 25% or something like that I wouldn‘t have burnt out so quickly.
I have a lot of respect for this woman. It's rare that I feel that way about a random person on the internet, but you've demonstrated almost every trait I value greatest in humans: grit, redefinition, vision, and relentless criticisms of oneself, coupled tightly with personal responsibility. You have and will continue to do things others only dream of.
Its simp. Respect men, not woomen.

This is so true. Nobody around me understands why I have such a huge desire to improve and why I'm going for harder jobs and things. Nobody gets it around me except my boyfriend who showed me that constant improvement is very rewarding and it actually makes me feel like I'm alive. It's not for everyone yes but some of us desire it and it's annoying how people make you seem bad or toxic for it. It can be very lonely too because you get disconnected for a lot of people. Glad to see I'm not the only one with desires like this. Thanks Ruri.
I respect you alot for taking care of your family. Thank you for making this video.
We all start going to the gym to look better, but somewhere along the way, it changes us in a way nothing else I've experienced can. Gives new perspective, discipline, and respect.
So true Ruri. You are wise beyond your years.
I believe in I am not like others but people thought i am a pick me and said you are not special. I said that not because I was arrogant but because i thought most people are living their life mindlessly having no purpose also i am a pessimistic person i notice the dark and disgusting side of world more. This video was so relatable.
I was someone who craved success and personal growth, but I was not able to get started. As I watched your videos, I realized how obsessed I was with unnecessary things, and that all I had to do was start. I have been changing my life in the direction I want, taking small steps for some time now. Thank you very much for this. I will continue to follow your content closely, and I hope we have the opportunity to meet in the future.
Thank you for your videos, at the beginning of this year I was mentally unstable and wasn't doing very well. With the help of your videos, I have found myself achieving more than I would've ever been capable of if I hadn't been exposed to your teachings. Much appreciation!!
If being ahead of 99% of people is something that brings you joy, then go for it! But please remember, not competing with others doesn't mean you're settling for average or being a loser. Success isn't just about outshining everyone. It's about finding what makes you happy and fulfilled. So whether you choose to strive for greatness or focus on personal growth, both paths are valid and deserving of respect.
We get your point. We have different values, but the video is talking about being on the top 1% and we all know what that means.. other people may settle for other things in life and value them more than a prosperous one and be part of the 99% and still be happy and feel successful, but the top 1% feels otherwise, they have the obligation to manifest their visions, no matter how high, that doesn't make us bad to be part of the 99% though, but to be part of top 1% , these people need to get out of bounds of the 99% group
I completely agree. People’s values are different and that’s okay! In fact our differences should be celebrated and appreciated
@@isaachester8475 exactly, so people have their choice to choose according to their values ..
No disrespect but if something feels like that, they shouldn't click on a video with a title like this lol

Thank you!
You are a blessing to the world and to YT. Your videos inspire me so much.
Just listened to it while doing my evening run and it was a great motivator to start tomorrow even stronger! Big respect to you hearing about your own journey, Ruri!
Did you start?
So much power in what you said, even at 42 through all of my experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly have been steppingstones. Career, selfcare, relationships have all been building blocks to show me what needs improvement.
My favorite saying is " Work with the cards you have been dealt, not the ones you don't have. You can always add more cards, it's your actions and not your words that dictate where you're headed."
I work on myself every day, always striving to be better than I was yesterday.
Love you. Finally a TH-camr who talks about success without sounding completely egotistical. Your success story felt genuine - Subscribed! ❤️
The reality is that all your messages are powerful keep on moving girl, I'm starting this journey, and with you I can succeed on this.
This video makes me want to cry from joy. And most importantly I'm on the right path and I just need to remind myself to not give up on my dreams. Thank you very much dear you are a wonderful person transforming your own life and helping others to do so.
I'm only 6 minutes into the video, and I'm already tearing up. Lately, I've been procrastinating a little too much, I stay in bed longer than I should, I scroll my social media more than needed and I've let laziness take over me. Thank you for making this video so far it is very motivational for me. I will get back on track!
NO BECAUSE THIS WAS ME AT EXACTLY 6 MINUTES
Hope you are feeling much better now
Another great job Ruri! I love listening to your videos while I exercise and take walks, getting ahead of 99% of people in my health and fitness.
when i first watched her videos, she had about 250k subscribers but now she almost have a million subscribers. It proves her advice works if you stay consistent and she herself is an example. Thankyou for this!! really appreciate you
You are an inspiration Ruri even to people much much older than you. Keep it up and continue inspiring people onwards to your 2M subscribers.
So fluid, so simple, so deep, I admire people like you. You speak from experience not from other mouths. Your path is not my path, but is a strong example to keep digging and never lose your hope!
You're a wonderful person with a rich soul. It must have been difficult for you after listening to your story, but the results clearly show it was worth it. I love how you just spoke directly without pandering to anyone. This is what I and a lot of people need to hear. I'll still make excuses for myself and fall over multiple times, but people like you and Dr. Huberman as well as others, keep me sane. Thank you.
Literally super easy to disprove almost all these vague inspirational words
I randomly got recommended your videos this week, and I have to say that they couldn't have come at a better time. My life is kind of a mess right now, and the lack of structure is starting to catch up and overwhelm me. I really want to thank you for doing these and putting them up on youtube, so that they can give people inspiration and a framework from which to start off from. My most sincerest thank you.
Felt so bad to hear about family i am happy that you are okay now ❤️ 😊
Excellent Content. I watch all of TH-cam at 1.75 . You are one of the few presenters that I consider having to slow it down. Thank you!! At that speed I have to pay attention. You have my attention.
Congratulations on your massive success and hard work! The word is scrutiny, not scrunity. Thank you so much for ❤ taking the time out to make this video!
You are one of the few TH-cam creators who care about taking time ⌚ and reading comments and hearting ❤ them. This really shows your dedication and passion towards what you do. I wish if I could do only little bit of what you do, my life would drastically improve for the better 😇.
sometimes we already knows those hints, we just need great people like her to remaind us with their point of views and experiences.
I watched this video like a millions of times, but It never fails to make me feel inspired. Even if i doubt myself, it gives me strength to keep going. This video makes me feel deeply understood. All the people in my life just tell me to relax and not stress. They just simply don't get what I am doing no matter how much I try to explain. Now own I am going to ignore them right away. Thank you, Ruri, for always inspiring us and providing us with high-quality content. 🌼🌷✨️
This was a really insightful watch! Hope I can write out another PoV, while not disagreeing with your PoV: I'm not a competitive person at all. I'm an ambitious introvert and don't concern myself with social circles / peers / competing. And so I cannot relate at all to the sentiment - "How to get ahead of 99% of people". All my life I've strived only to get ahead of myself, and who I was yesterday, and the day before that. I'm a Game Developer / Game Artist, and my portfolio / art / skills had to be reborn over and over before I succeeded after my entire 20-30s. I only held myself accountable and in competition with myself, and the success fell into place naturally.
I don't look at someone else and think "I'm ahead of you", "I'm the top 1%", "I'll sleep better because you're beneath me". I mentor people who would be considered adversaries, and learn from them. Since I work in my own business / indie studio, seeing everyone succeed with me, means I succeed too. There's no incentive to 1up them. What I'm pursuing is such a niche, so people around me aren't competition. I don't think any less of someone who's a trucker, or laborer, or a farmer either. Every person plays a part that keeps the structure and fabric of civilization running around me like clockwork, so I can continue to make art.
I'd also like to say, I'd like to be in the higher ~20-30% in terms of money, never 1-5%, because I can maintain a balance of leverage, and living life a little. In the last 20 years of struggling, there's nothing I really look back on fondly. I didn't date at all, didn't maintain friendships, my family is away from me, I just worked and worked and the world revolved around me, my health, my work, my money. What I see mediocre about someone basic, they'd also find mediocre things about me. Time is finite. I suceeded in career & money, and failed at everything else. They succeed at everything else, and failed at career & money. In my 30s I want to change that, prioritize the simpler things in life, and enjoy the returns of my hard work in balance while not being complacent.
"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." - Albert Einstein.
You're so young, but it's impressive the way you have to explain certain things
You definitely deserve to be amongst the most popular content creators here :)
It is a good feeling to start the day with Ruri's vlog, it relaxes me and my soul. Each subject creates a very different idea, very successful.
I am about to finish my final exam period, ending high school (watching Ruri the night before the exam haha) but this perfectly constructed video really gave me the confidence with my unfinished projects and the reasons why I planned to follow them after study season as strict as I can. You really make my mood and always flood me with motivation even in tiring studying times! Thank you Ruri!
This is something people should watch in social media, it is life changing. thank you for making these
I was born in 1960 and got my first laptop at 45 years of age. For the next 10- I really didn't know what to do with it other than surf the internet "when" I had internet access. I lived by the creativity of my hands. Cut to 2019, just before the pandemic, I finally got consistent internet and began to open my "digital" eyes. Holy cow!
At first, it was coming to realize how much was out there, and how "far" behind I was as a 59-year-old. Since that time, I have been SOAKING IT UP LIKE A SPONGE"!
One of the things I have come to learn is that-most of what I am learning is all from YOUNGER PEOPLE!
Ruri- you are so inspirational to me, I can barely stand inside my skin! You're one of my informal professors at YOU-TOOB UNIVERSITY!
It blows me away the reach that you, and others like you, have attained via TH-cam. You are WAY inspirational in this video and have laid out important GEMS of knowledge. Wow! Good on you Ruri!!! And lastly, there could be no doubt that you are wicked intelligent, perceptive, and deep, but I have to say your physical beauty isn't hurting you a bit. You help & inspire me! Thank you! Over an out.
this video topic is everything I constantly think about. I was delighted to see someone express thoughts similar to mine and in such an informative way. I’ve honestly felt lonely when it comes to finding people to talk to about this stuff because most people don’t get it. Thank you for showing that I’m not alone and reaffirming my values!!
you're absolutely right Ruri, many people around us don't like to see us achieve something. im an Indonesian but i always try to improve my english in my videos. and the sad story is people around me make fun of it and some of them fell jealous of me 😂
Your english is Fine Bro!
Thanks 😇❤
I am glad AF for have found this channel, It changed my life. It was the inspiration that I needed to grow up and Go after everything that I want in my life. Thank u Ruri, hope your family is going well. ❤
Bro I legit love this girl thank you for the insight Ruri we appreciate it!!!
Thank You so much Ruri! You don't know how much I needed this! This video just popped up out of nowhere, that too when I needed it the most! Thank you God! And God Bless you!!
Every time I try to treat your videos as typical motivational content, you always manage to move me with your sincerity and genuinely valuable insights. I once experienced a similar downfall in my family's financial situation, as you did. My stepfather gambled away every penny of our family's wealth, leaving my mother and me with millions in debt. However, like you, I didn't give up on myself. Thus, I deeply resonate with the past experiences you've shared. Regardless, I will officially start my TH-cam channel this week, and I hope that one day we can meet at the summit of a million subscribers.
wow. the biggest challenge and the worst times in your life made you the amazingly successful person you are today. Life works in such mysterious ways. I experienced similar things.
why is the maggi guy here
I love you Ruri you inspire me to chase my dreams ❤️
Wow! I applaud your ruthless strategy well played. Subtle art of not giving a fuck took to another level
love it. "unfair advantage" is something overlooked by so many. no matter where you are you in life. you have an unfair advantage. Each person is special and being unique is not what you are born with but what unfair advantage you FIND or DISCOVER with hard work of introspection, study, trial/error, consistent pursuing your goals without giving up.
Ruri, I stopped following the mass of youtubers , you are one of the few I still watch. You are very thoughtful and reasonable, and it is rare these days. I admire your work and I'm very grateful I found your channel. You inspire me to keep pursuing my passions. I wish you more success in the future. Svetla, 23 yo
“When I look at the state of the average person I sleep like a baby knowing that I don’t fit in with them” probably my favorite quote
Came across with this channel is the best thing that happend to me in a long time
Thank you very much for the video from Odesa, Ukraine. You have an extremely high-quality picture and sound, I can only imagine how much time you spent to get such an outstanding result, I am shocked by how beautifully, clearly and transparently you express your wise thoughts. You motivate me to continue.
Almost spat out my morning coffee thinking you were about to say "cultivating mass" at 1:58, for which I would also agree with!
You’re videos feel super relatable about things I’ve always had in my mind and even learned so much from you,I needed this more than ever, thank you Ruri!
Whoever told you your channel is "cringey" was jealous that you're actually creating something. I know it's difficult to tell when compliments are genuine because people will blow smoke up to make you like them, but trust me, your channel is far from cringey. It's these channels that continue to give me inspiration in my path towards language learning and completing nursing school.
I am amazed her speech was not scripted at all... The whole time she is looking at the camera directly and never stop speaking her motivational speech.
Моя дорогая, спасибо за видео! Иногда когда смотришь на успешных людей кажется, что это всё им досталось просто так, а на самом деле за всем этим успехом стоят сотни и тысячи тяжелых часов упорной работы
обожаю Рури,уже год смотрю ее видео, многие мне очень помогли
It's hard to maintain discipline, after failing several times I always wonder if it's possible, but videos like yours are important to keep on track, thank you
This is the best perspective of life and making progress regardless of how many obstacles we might face and taking advantage of the time, whatever it takes we would achieve it differently, Thank you Ruri, for this video, this video you made has been springing from the bottom of your heart explaining the obstacles that you encountered and how you got through them, and what is the motive of yours.
Thank you. Finally I saw someone who desperately wants success! And become the world’s top 1%!
To anyone reading this, you are already in the top 1%. Not because you watched the video, but because you are. You are not just 99% but 100% different from others, and no one can beat that. Now, let’s get up, pick up that pencil, drink tea, sleep, run, talk… whatever you do, you are just one step more closer to your goal. You will be 101%!
The intro did not fully resonate with me. Sure, no one can stop anyone from striving to be in the top 1%. I also find Ruri’s advices and info helpful. However, I would contemplate about having the “be in the top 1%” mindset - it could be toxic depending on how you process it. For example, there always will be a top 1% within that 1%; you can think of this statement negatively or positively, but either way you will always be striving for more. Here lies the issue; If you are not happy/fulfilled now, you will probably never be happy/fulfilled/successful (or whatever you desire in life). It’s ok to strive for the top 1% or even the best, but let’s make sure you have the right attitude toward this mindset. ❤
↑I don’t care if anyone doesn’t read it or agree with it. This is more like a letter to my past self lol
i fully agree with this! i feel like this mindset could definitely be toxic for me, and communicate that who i am right now is nothing special and that getting to the top "1%" will be super overwhelming. my takeaway from the video would just be to make sure to strive for improvement and learn from your mistakes, and take breaks to avoid burnout and to just overall enjoy life as well.
amazing im so glad i came across your channel you actually source out your information so well thank you !! ❤
please,give me your used old mac book
After all the motivation videos I have been through I have concluded that everything boils down to Consistency. Consistency is that which will put you ahead from the 99%.
Thank you, Ruri!! You're a shining example to all of us out there who are constantly seeking to get better - keep trying, keep working hard, and never give up
Just came back from doctor.. I figured it out I have “ADHD”.. When everything seems so dark, this video is a HOPE for me.. I’ll figure it out how to deal with it watching your videos.. Thank you for the amazing video!! I wish to come back here again “better” and see you and thank YOU ♡
Thank you so much ever since I found your channel and consistently watched you content I have been able to massively change my life for the better.❤
Appreciated! Makes me to take note of many things. Thank you "Ruri and Keep on going. Lots of 💙
I've come across dozens of motivation-like videos but this one sure hits different. Thank you so much for your hard work and that you keep inspiring us Ruri!!
How in the hell do you get to be so wise at such a young age? Ruri is miraculous! I look forward to following her evolution and seeing how she applies herself to our world post (and outside of) TH-cam. I vote Ruri for president of the future world federation!
This was such a small and obscure channel the first time I happened upon it. I'm happy for all the progress and growth you've achieved.
This video is truly remarkable as it presents a genuine portrayal of reality. Your sincerity, both with yourself and others, shines through brilliantly.
I was deeply moved by this content, so much so that I felt compelled to leave a comment, which is something I rarely do.
Kudos to TH-cam's algorithm for recommending this video to me, and congratulations to you for consistently producing such outstanding work. Keep up the great job!
You are an incredible inspiration, Ruri! You really made me think about my unfair advantages and how to use them to get ahead in life. Absolutely loved your video.
It seems %99 of people happily living in their comfort zones!
When i first way hed the video, i was like yeah i can be a successful person and started studying hard, exercising etc. But sometimes i feel like im losing my motivation and boom i watched the video again, i gained my motivation again. So now when i started to lose my focus, i come and watch this again. Thanks Ruri!
This girl have helped me a lot, i'm fixing my life, and every video from Ruri helps me to see if i'm in the right way
This video is so inspiring. Recently I've been demotivated and stressed because I could see so many friends doing better than me at school. I was really worried. You know, school life in Asia is a heavy competition, if your friends are the better then you have no choice but to be the worse. However, after watching this I finally knew what to do. Thanks a lot:D
Damn I don't often comment on videos but good points, I actually had many of them ingrained in me before. Nice. I especially am concious in putting myself in positions of no escape/ no quiting after I read Art of War. Then there is no option for me but one: succeed.
Glad you enjoyed :)
Hey man, thanks for this, I'm inspired on how far you have come. It has motivated me to reflect on why I want to become more successful as well- my family. Often find it hard to push myself but I have to realise how important and urgent my own personal mission is. Now, how to do this without putting too much pressure on myself is something I need to focus on. It feels like pushing through a wall at times, and I often spend my energy on things that aren't as productive. One of my aims are to try and complete things that are valuable and or extremely useful.
You espouse an awesome attitude. Don't ever lose it.
Thank you for your elegance and wittiness. Glory to entrepreneurs!
Dear Ruri, this video was helpful indeed yet It can be like a double-edged sword. When seeing content or ideas like these one can quickly get into a mode of thinking that destroys each and evey effort one is trying to build. I struggled with this a LOT. You start to think that you are not good enough in everything you do. When I started this I was so ambitious and my stubbornness and tenacity failed me because I tried to lift more and more and trying to improve all kind of things all at once and overloaded because I was constantly thinking that what I do would not be good enough. But I realised that working hours isnt an option, making yourself wear out either. You have to get more out than you give in or otherwise It wont help you for example to study or work hard. Working smart is better than working hard and this fallacy really destroys mentally. Yet I dont know how to balance it. When I am low I do what I can and what is necessary yet when I get even a little bit of energy I again start to think to do everything all at once and overdoing it. I dont know if someone can relate but I will nevertheless try to build a life that is beautiful.
We really need this type of guide in life to get ahead from many problems 😙
Thanks ohama 🤞✨
You're the person I respect most on TH-cam. I'll never give up
You are great Ruri! Keep breaking it
If you want to get ahead of 99% of people, you just need to go in front of them.
This video has been such a joy listening to! It was a little over two years ago, when I started my self improvement journey and your video helped me estimate where I‘m currently standing and what I want to improve on. Thank you very much!
I live on $70 a week, wear old clothes and cook all my meals ... I'm so content, happy and enjoying life. You don't need lots of money to be happy.
Wow I envy you .. I’m single and 40 i wish I cant survive off $100 a week
