      Hello @Nicole Coates. First of all, thank you for writing this comment because it weirdly makes me realise that the people who get into academic programs at places like MIT are also 'normal', I apologise for it sounding very vague. I wanted to ask, what are you pursuing your PHD in?
      I ask because I'm in my Junior year at school in India and am trying to talk to physics and/or engineering students to decide where and in what to apply. I hope its not an inconvenience.

    "But at this point I'm still very confused about what they're trying to say, but doing physics is really about working through that confusion until you figure out the answer."
    I really love that you said this. As a person that tends to be very self-critical, it's often hard for me to imagine that Harvard students or Nobel winners or people at the top of their field ever feel confused at a problem or don't know where to start. I sometimes feel as though people in those positions are always on top of it and I'm just built different and not as smart. I know it's silly, but it's where my mind goes when I'm getting down on myself. So thank you for this insight into your studies. It reminds the rest of us that even the smartest and most capable among us get confused or stuck and to keep going. Never give up.

    I actually liked/loved the back story you told about crossing the bridge from Cambridge to Harvard. It was very inspirational and sounded like there was a lot of emotions involved in that journey. Also about your watch it's so amazing that you associated that expensive watch to a priceless memories of you working so hard for it with your father. This kinda tells things which are earned with a commitment and hard work are more precious because memories and journey is associated with them not necessarily because they are expensive and luxury...it's really inspiring you enjoy and take pride in wearing that. Wishing you tons of luck for your future endeavors 🙂.

    This video is so inspiring yet so terrifying for me. Academia is the one thing I’ve never been able to dedicate myself to, I have always put in the exact amount of effort needed to pass my classes, never an ounce more. When I graduated and started working, that was when I truly felt motivation to get work done. I can never feel the same way with formal studying, and it’s been haunting me cause I have been meaning to take my Masters, but I for some reason have always dreaded putting in work into my studies.

I remember when I was a law student I could never study in a library, I just couldn't concentrate with the people around me, someone is eating, others getting up to use the bathroom, others to get coffe....Later on when I went to master studies I studied at weekends when I was home and I wrote both of my master thesis in my room surrounded with books. PhD thesis was the same, I could never concentrate at work.

    Your videos are great! Been following you all semester as I got accepted into the rank 1 dental programme in the world at Karolinska. They really bring some weekly joy. I can really relate to being surrounded by great achievers due to the nobel comittee working at my university. It really inspires me to do better everyday.

    WOW. This is about the 15th video I’ve watched of yours; if it was my first, I wouldn’t be here. You have progressed so much with your style, I’m truly captivated by your life; the way you lay it out for us gives me feelings of compassion. I want to dislike you; but I’m only envious and inspired. I wanted you to show your face, but now I hope you never do for fear that I will change my perception of you. I want to know you.

      @@user-pd1lt1ub6z I should add that my professors were legitimately brilliant people and I loved being in their classes. I don’t think a majority of them are far left, but the more conservative ones just avoid politics. My colleagues, however, were nuts.

    Today was the first time I ever watched your video and it's truly inspiring. Funny fact is that I'm struggling right now with a lot of issues regarding work and studies and most of them lead to the one equation: should I push this hard on working to be one of the guys of the academic field? Or should I stick around and keep going as hard as I can to see a dream come true? I know what I want but sometimes you just wonder if you're in the right path. Anyway, thank you for sharing your history. I wanna come back here a few months forward and say that I didnt give up and the game still goes on with our daily accomplishments.

    "Hard work is a choice". Genuinely curious, but do you think hard work is a choice for everyone? Because there are people out there with limited resources and opportunity that have to break their back at their jobs to barely stay alive.

      Yea. Because those people CHOOSE not to work as hard as him. He stated multiple times how much he wanted to be in this field and how he strived to make his way to where he is now. Not everyone wants to be a theoretical physicist. People CHOOSE to do what they want to do in life. Just because he got lucky getting into Harvard doesn’t mean he’s “privileged” and just because he did backbreaking work to achieve a goal for himself doesn’t mean he’s “privileged”
