In order to succeed, you must fail a bunch of times first. Today I will talk about why this is true. ► click here for a cookie: / @nikoyaps ► Join my Discord: discord.gg/PrMRFhvsMH
failure is not defeat. giving up is defeat. i hope more people recognize that failing is a natural part of life and should be used as an opportunity to try again. i'm glad youtubers like you push out wholesome and positive content in a digital landscape where everything seems so negative and extreme, have a good one :)
Those who see failure as a lesson, will succeed. Those who see failure as an excuse to not try, will remain stuck in life. The important take away, is how you use failure in your life. Great video and advice as always : D
Same, I've felt like occasionally playing Dark Souls 1 while studying music production has motivated me to keep on producing and songwriting Every day to get better
I strongly recommend the book "So good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport. The antithesis to the "follow your passion" advice. What I get from that book is that, in reality, is not about doing what you love, but loving what you do by improving your skills. In the long run, people who are still getting better at something are the ones who eventually find that activity fulfilling and enjoyable. Not saying that the other advice is bad, but it's interesting to read other point of views. For me, the problem with failiure is just lack of patience and resilience.
I have a small story to share. I love playing with electronics especially repairing stuff. Four years ago my friend once asked me if I could repair his laptop and I agreed. He gave me his laptop, I bought the IC that I needed. I desoldered the IC it went smoothly but when I tried to solder the new IC a solder bridge formed (basically tin got between two pins and it created a short). I tried everything to get it out I was really nervous because his laptop was really expensive. I was heating it, hell even scraping it. I tried to desolder it and in the process I ripped two pads from PCB and bent the legs of the IC even breaking off some of them. I remember breaking down because well I failed so badly. I was nervous my friend was gonna be mad at me. I told him what happened and he said it's all aright and he will take it to a repair shop. I told him that I will pay for the repairs since I broke it. Repair shop told us that more was broken than the 1 IC I tried to change and my friend decided it was not worth it because he spent a lot trying to fix it. He sold it and got all of the money he spent on it. Coming back to me if I gave up that day I would not be at the point I am right now. If I got that laptop today I could do that job in under 2 minutes and I could get the solder bridge out using different methods without even thinking about it. If I ripped those pads from the PCB today I could also repair those easily. I learned SO MUCH in those 4 years. I fixed so many things and I am really proud of myself. Key point: Don't give up even if you fail really really badly and before fixing someone else's stuff be sure that you CAN do it so you could avoid messing up someone's stuff by your lack of knowledge, also do your own research. It's important to 1) learn how to do something 2) try it yourself on something that you don't care about damaging 3) once you are confident, do it on the actual thing. Mistakes and failures hurt yes, but once you learn to accept them, learn from them and move on from them you will improve a lot. I believe in you, don't you ever try to give up or I will come out of your walls and make sure you won't!! Take care :3 Love you niko, awesome video as always. I improved and grew as a person so much because of you. Take care!!
Man I relate to this I repair phones and computers aswell have done a few chip level repairs but I don’t specialize in those mainly I swap parts. But I fucked up my moms old 2019 macbook pro that broke due to flexgate which is the display ribbon cable destroying itself after using the laptop for some time which was around 4 yrs. Apple computers just die like that unfortunately lmao. I swapped the display with a working one and for some reason now the computer doesn’t even boot anymore I mighta fucked the board up and I felt horrible since ive never messed up like that before but now I feel a bit better.
@@epic_paul27 Yeah mistakes and failures happen they are painful but we gotta learn from them and improve ^^ I'm glad you are feeling better and wish you the best of luck in the future! Also yeah flexgate was a pain you could take care of your laptop and then bam one day the display is messed up.
This video came at the perfect time. I just failed to get the house I was hoping to get and was dragging myself down into a downwards spiral about it. Excited to hear your take on failing!
You released this at the perfect time. I've been struggling with thoughts about failing and being a disappointment today (all that fun stuff), which was hindering my work performance, so I was just sent home. I checked my phone, and I saw the title of this video and I had to click it, and it resonated with me and helped dial down the negativity in my head, so thank you... Your yapping is always so beneficial, and today, it was highly needed by me, and surely others as well. So, again, if you read or didn't read this, thank you. Keep up the good work, and here's to finding a jungle🥂
Realising you are heading in the wrong career direction and having the capacity to release your expectations of yourself and change to what you've realised you do want to do is not a failure. And I would say that finishing the CompSci course even though you hated it isn't failure either. Sticking with something you hate until you can find a way out - sometimes we have to do that. Staying when there is an out, that's a form of failure. I've done some courses and taken some jobs I didn't like and that I struggled with, but every time that has happened I have learnt things about particular subjects and learnt things about myself, and it's surprising how odd bits of knowledge picked up in less than ideal situations come in handy later down the track.
As someone who's passed their driver's licence on their third try, this resonated so much with me. Thanks for the videos man, they're dope and you're talking about so many important topics. Keep it up 👊
I like to do woodwork. I mostly make rubber band guns out of wood and I have begun a youtube channel with my creations. I want to post every week, but I fail most projects. However, I have tried to use those failures as lessons that teach me what not to do, what not to do in the design, what to keep in mind for the system, and most of all, I get experience.
I really needed to hear this today. I dropped out of college because of several personal things in life stressing me out, I couldn't handle the extra stress of all the deadlines anymore. I'm still planning to study in the future when life isn't that hectic like it is now (maybe at a different college too), but nevertheless I was incredibly scared that people would view me as a failure
Dropped out after sophomore year cuz bullying had gotten too ridiculous. My Dad’s a finish carpenter and has been trying to teach me it all for 2 years now and it feels like I’ve done nothing but fail a lot. This message I can really relate to on a heavy level. Thanks Niko 🙏
Going through a very tough time. I’m so glad I found your channel because I oddly find peace when I watch your videos. Thank you and please don’t stop making videos 🙏🏽
I love ur channel so much, honestly thank you. Ur really helping me get through a break up it was that video where it was "breakups are ok" thanks so much for just being u!
I just discovered you a few hours ago. And I’ve watched about 3 videos and they’ve helped me realise things and have helped me move on with some things. And your videos have encouraged and motivated me to keep going. So thank you bro
I'm so glad this video showed up in my recommended feed right when I was thinking of something that has been bothering me in my life that is an example of exactly this. Around a year ago I started a gamedev project that has just, for lack of a more concise way to describe it, gone to shit. I'm at the point where I'm probably going to abandon that project and move onto other (smaller) projects and I was just thinking that I should probably make a devlog talking about that and seeing this video has done nothing but make me think that I 100% should make a video about it just as a way to process it and think about what mistakes and events led to now and how I want to address this moving forward. Based on things I've read from other indie developers on Reddit this isn't all that uncommon, that on top of what you say in this video both make me feel so much better about it. Thank you.
Thank you for making this I have recently went through hard times, I broke up with my gf, I’m failing to stop an addiction (I don’t know if you can call it that but it’s pretty similar) and just have been going from Im happy to Im never gonna recover over and over I have healed from the breakup but not my failures because I have been failing for 2 years now but I now recognize that I have been improving every time I failed and now I actually think that I can stop if I continue trying and so now when I fail instead of feeling miserable and like I’m a horrible person I just say that I’ll do better new time Idk why but I actually already thought like that for the rest of the stuff I do but not my addiction so yeah that’s weird but anyway thank you for this video
I really like that you brought up the math example because I can relate to it. I had failed calculus the first time I took it but later I re studied everything and practice many many problems by myself and the 2nd time I took it I passed so I went from an F to a B. And also I am always telling people in my classes to not be afraid to fail and keep trying
I think this is it. I struggle to make progress, each time I try I only fail, so it feels meaningless as I'm not improving. Perhaps I should give BOTW another try, it's just so frustrating
This video was definitely needed for me, although I'm still met with heavy resistance. It's what happens when you become so pessimistic that anything beneficial is seen as suspicious. That said, it is true that totally failing equivalates to giving up and not trying again. I mainly gave up on my way to become a 3D artist due to imposter syndrome, burnout from college, lack of motivation, and most importantly: fear of failure. I never truly failed working on my art until I decided to not try anymore. And it is sooo depressing and defeating. And I've been stuck in this hellhole ever since I graduated four years ago. Other factors played a role including the pandemic, but my failure to keep moving forward played the biggest role. I'm rambling as I'm typing this, but this video definitely helped shine a light on this issue I've been running away from for some time. I have to confront failure if I am ever to eventually succeed. I'm gonna be seeking therapy very soon so hopefully that will give me some helpful insight into what the roots of my problems are and see if I can improve my circumstances from the roots up. To anyone that reads this, thank you and I hope you're moving forward in life.
failing shouldn't be a reason for fear, but instead an encouragement to do better than last time, even if its just a little bit (at least that's how i view it)
I have that saying, the minute you give up you let someone else win and you will definitely regret it. And dont let people tell you you cant do something just because they never tried and just settled for what life gave them
A stretchy cartoon dog puts this one really succinctly. "To live life, you need problems. If you get everything you want the minute you want it, what's the point of living?"
I was surprised when you mentioned you took Computer Science. I'm currently taking CS this college rn, sophomore, retaking major subjects I took when I was in freshmen. I felt lost before I took college and I still feel just as lost as I am now. I'm barely making any effort and when I do, it's only half-assed everything, at least in my majors. I took CS only because I thought it was cool and I liked the aesthetic of it. Maybe I liked it a bit, but so far it's getting really hard and it's just gonna get harder especially when it's not even motivating me from my major at all so far. My peers are actually doing great and are having fun coding and brainstorming together, I'm totally out of place feeling like I don't belong and I'm on my own. I was thinking of switching to another major during my previous semester to MMA (Multimedia Arts) which focuses more on drawing, filming, photography, animation those kinds of stuff and I really love drawing, but I'm also afraid it's gonna be CS all over again if I ever do switch to another major. I'm gonna like it at first, but I know it's gonna get harder later on and the hard part comes and it's the time when it won't be as fun, I would lose motivation all over again and I need to get serious. I think I need more discipline than motivation for myself at my current state.
It's okay to figure out that CS is not for you. Unfortunatelly in your case, you had to find out after 2 years of college, as for trying out MMA, you won't know if it'll be the same story until you try it. One thing is certain, staying in CS won't do you any good in the long run. Best of luck!
@@nikoyaps I was genuinely planning on shifting to MMA during last semester, but my mom told me to keep trying CS so I endured it and I ended up finally passing that major I retook like 3 times. I thought that gave me a bit of hope at least,, but now I'm afraid that things might get even harder from now on because of the next semesters and subjects I'm taking, then finding out from a friend in CS that's taking 3rd yr curriculum and above, it's a different level. Like I need to really master the topics from 1st and 2nd yr majors I had or will ever have otherwise I'm gonna have a really hard time on it. At the same time, I know college isn't a race or anything, but shifting feels like I'm gonna be so far behind again and it feels like it's the last resort I have to take and not the real solution for me, Thinking maybe I need to keep trying and make real effort to it. I just feel really stuck right now for years it's so frustrating. Anyways, thank you for the reply and help though, Niko. I've been watching all your videos and it really helps reflecting on myself
I have one problem I still didn't solve. For 2 and half years I have a crush on a girl in school. It happened practically itself that I started liking her just bcs of one moment staring at her eyes. I am too scared to tell her bcs of the failure, and unsecurity about are we good for eachother or not. Idk are we good for eachother, we don't talk often so I don't really know. I tried first step asking her out many times and she came many times to see eachother and we would talk about something but idk I feel like that fact that I like her puts pressure on me while I am tryng to talk to her so it doesn't go really that good, and she is very busy so when we planned to met eachother she was on the phone many times answering to people. Now for last few motnhs I didn't ask her out bcs I thought she doesn't probably like me. And when I started to like her I didn't know what was happening to me bcs I never felt in love and soon enough I started watching p*rn and I had period when I did it everyday. I didn't realise before what was I doing at the start of watching p*rn and when I realised I was ashamed of my self and I immediately started to get rid of it step by step. It's better now than before but I still didn't survive 2 weeks without it and it really sometimes gets on my nerves. And now recently I remembered that maybe I can't beat addiction for p*rnography bcs I didn't cut the "root" of the problem that is telling my crush that I like her, and nowadays it goes often in my head about her. And I'm still unsure should I tell her or not.
i am from india, we just had our results announced for the one of the biggest exams of my life rn, for the public i did really good, but i struggle to accept the results myself, i know i did really good, but i just cant help but feel disappointed in myself, thinking if i couldve done better. i realise this sort of thinking is well, for a lack of better term, useless. how do you accept defeat when everyone thinks you've won niko? please helo me if you can
This is kind of off topic for the video above, but. I'm 21 years old and have worked 40 hours a week for the last 2 years without doing much of anything else to progress my life. I'm run down and tired of the place that I'm at right now and I don't know my next step in life, it's scary trying to figure that out. It's gotten to the point to where my mother is telling me that I look like I need a break from so much work, and need to find something else that will make me feel fulfilled. I don't have the slightest clue as to how to even start working on that. Anyone in the same boat as me?
Well, I don't really like commenting on social media. However, I found an opportunity at this Checkpoint. I'm going to be 20 in September, and today is Mother's Day and I would like to be a better son. I study in a course practically 6/7 to be in the navy. But the point is that my grades are horrible, I'm always at the bottom of my class and I think I'm the biggest idiot and not qualified for this. I'm tired of studying and not seeing results.
I don't think you having bad grades makes you a bad son, it just makes you someone who struggles with school. While I can't relate I can ask you this simple question: How bad do you want it? How badly do you want to get in the navy? If you find yourself saying "I want this more than anything in the world," then it's safe to say that you should keep going. If not, then you might want to reconsider your career path. Best of luck!
I wasted 4 hours replacing a PS Vita screen only for it to not work? Wouldn't that be considered a massive failure to where it should not be endured again?
What a coincidence i failed my competitive examination (i am from india) i have literary been crying for hours realising that this the best time realise what went wrong Spoiler alerts : i am lazy and disciplined Thanks
failure is not defeat. giving up is defeat. i hope more people recognize that failing is a natural part of life and should be used as an opportunity to try again. i'm glad youtubers like you push out wholesome and positive content in a digital landscape where everything seems so negative and extreme, have a good one :)
giving up is also good. it's important to to know when you should and it's okay to admit defeat.

Idk why but I actually already thought like that for the rest of the stuff I do but not my addiction so yeah that’s weird but anyway thank you for this video
this guys videos are actually amazing it's nice hearing shi like this rather than brain rot 🙏
The necessity of failing to me parallels the concept of limits cultivating innovation... I don't have anything else of substance to add.
I always appreciate your videos, man. You’re an inspiration!
I watch your video again after a while and it's still as relaxing as before
I didn't expect you to react to this song but I'm really happy that you did. One of my favourites of all time
to listen to your voice is so relaxing

I have that saying, the minute you give up you let someone else win and you will definitely regret it. And dont let people tell you you cant do something just because they never tried and just settled for what life gave them
love these videos so much!
“By failing, you might find out that you love something else way more.”
Damn…
That death was uhhh neat, but anyways yes I totally agree I went through it recently so this is nice to see!
Coming from the video where you found the jungle biome. You succeeded!
Hey I know you lol! I've seen a couple of your videos like the tiny NYC Apartment tour video, your content is great man! We should chat sometime
@@nikoyaps Would love an excuse to get back into Minecraft!!!
Bet! Check your insta dms
Hey niko I love your videos, they are amazing
🤣 My story is basically the exact opposite. I wanted to go into multimedia/communication (video editing specifically) and ended in CS.
thanks bro :3
just failed a college class i actually tried in, needed to hear this
Failing comes with a price sometimes, but also shortens the learning curve for the future.
Thank you

People should view failure as an opportunity to learn something new.
im glad to say i have witnessed the transformation of the house from 5% to this beautiful architechture
I was surprised when you mentioned you took Computer Science. I'm currently taking CS this college rn, sophomore, retaking major subjects I took when I was in freshmen. I felt lost before I took college and I still feel just as lost as I am now. I'm barely making any effort and when I do, it's only half-assed everything, at least in my majors. I took CS only because I thought it was cool and I liked the aesthetic of it. Maybe I liked it a bit, but so far it's getting really hard and it's just gonna get harder especially when it's not even motivating me from my major at all so far. My peers are actually doing great and are having fun coding and brainstorming together, I'm totally out of place feeling like I don't belong and I'm on my own.
I was thinking of switching to another major during my previous semester to MMA (Multimedia Arts) which focuses more on drawing, filming, photography, animation those kinds of stuff and I really love drawing, but I'm also afraid it's gonna be CS all over again if I ever do switch to another major. I'm gonna like it at first, but I know it's gonna get harder later on and the hard part comes and it's the time when it won't be as fun, I would lose motivation all over again and I need to get serious.
I think I need more discipline than motivation for myself at my current state.
It's okay to figure out that CS is not for you. Unfortunatelly in your case, you had to find out after 2 years of college, as for trying out MMA, you won't know if it'll be the same story until you try it. One thing is certain, staying in CS won't do you any good in the long run. Best of luck!
@@nikoyaps I was genuinely planning on shifting to MMA during last semester, but my mom told me to keep trying CS so I endured it and I ended up finally passing that major I retook like 3 times. I thought that gave me a bit of hope at least,, but now I'm afraid that things might get even harder from now on because of the next semesters and subjects I'm taking, then finding out from a friend in CS that's taking 3rd yr curriculum and above, it's a different level. Like I need to really master the topics from 1st and 2nd yr majors I had or will ever have otherwise I'm gonna have a really hard time on it.
At the same time, I know college isn't a race or anything, but shifting feels like I'm gonna be so far behind again and it feels like it's the last resort I have to take and not the real solution for me, Thinking maybe I need to keep trying and make real effort to it.
I just feel really stuck right now for years it's so frustrating.
Anyways, thank you for the reply and help though, Niko. I've been watching all your videos and it really helps reflecting on myself
I have one problem I still didn't solve. For 2 and half years I have a crush on a girl in school. It happened practically itself that I started liking her just bcs of one moment staring at her eyes. I am too scared to tell her bcs of the failure, and unsecurity about are we good for eachother or not. Idk are we good for eachother, we don't talk often so I don't really know. I tried first step asking her out many times and she came many times to see eachother and we would talk about something but idk I feel like that fact that I like her puts pressure on me while I am tryng to talk to her so it doesn't go really that good, and she is very busy so when we planned to met eachother she was on the phone many times answering to people. Now for last few motnhs I didn't ask her out bcs I thought she doesn't probably like me. And when I started to like her I didn't know what was happening to me bcs I never felt in love and soon enough I started watching p*rn and I had period when I did it everyday. I didn't realise before what was I doing at the start of watching p*rn and when I realised I was ashamed of my self and I immediately started to get rid of it step by step. It's better now than before but I still didn't survive 2 weeks without it and it really sometimes gets on my nerves. And now recently I remembered that maybe I can't beat addiction for p*rnography bcs I didn't cut the "root" of the problem that is telling my crush that I like her, and nowadays it goes often in my head about her. And I'm still unsure should I tell her or not.
There'a no way you called your horse Bojack 😂 I love it.
I want to get my first job soon but I’m scared of failing. I guess this video was meant for me to watch or something
you don’t overcome failure, you coexist with failure
Hello Niko can you talk about FOMO thank you.
My favorite minecraft therapist ❤
i am from india, we just had our results announced for the one of the biggest exams of my life rn, for the public i did really good, but i struggle to accept the results myself, i know i did really good, but i just cant help but feel disappointed in myself, thinking if i couldve done better. i realise this sort of thinking is well, for a lack of better term, useless. how do you accept defeat when everyone thinks you've won niko? please helo me if you can
You should make a stable for bojack
This is kind of off topic for the video above, but. I'm 21 years old and have worked 40 hours a week for the last 2 years without doing much of anything else to progress my life. I'm run down and tired of the place that I'm at right now and I don't know my next step in life, it's scary trying to figure that out. It's gotten to the point to where my mother is telling me that I look like I need a break from so much work, and need to find something else that will make me feel fulfilled. I don't have the slightest clue as to how to even start working on that. Anyone in the same boat as me?
bro is my therapist ngl
1:59 They give the tests back? Well yeah, but not for you to look at over night at home? Can't remember ngl.
8:55 not me watching this video while doing my ap csp hw LMFAOOO
to anyone listening to this, please do not aplly aproach of giving up trying to speak to someone who doesnt want to speak to you
Can i ask what version your playing?
Well, I don't really like commenting on social media. However, I found an opportunity at this Checkpoint. I'm going to be 20 in September, and today is Mother's Day and I would like to be a better son. I study in a course practically 6/7 to be in the navy. But the point is that my grades are horrible, I'm always at the bottom of my class and I think I'm the biggest idiot and not qualified for this. I'm tired of studying and not seeing results.
I don't think you having bad grades makes you a bad son, it just makes you someone who struggles with school. While I can't relate I can ask you this simple question: How bad do you want it? How badly do you want to get in the navy? If you find yourself saying "I want this more than anything in the world," then it's safe to say that you should keep going. If not, then you might want to reconsider your career path. Best of luck!
why am I watching this an hour after taking my calc 3 final(I hope I didn’t fail)
College didn’t work out for me
What version of Minecraft are you on?

I wasted 4 hours replacing a PS Vita screen only for it to not work? Wouldn't that be considered a massive failure to where it should not be endured again?
Rehab was supposed to be a fresh start but every time I... 0:23
