the first 10 minutes of this video brought tears to my eyes, I am stuck in a loop that I have been trying to escape from. I started to work on ships at the very next year I graduated from high school in 1997 can't afford university. and I can't say that I regret my decision because at the time it was the best I can make to help my parent financial, I am the first son in our family with 4 younger siblings but the seaman life is a kind of isolated life especially in those days, so when I wanted to started a new way of living like right now that I have a little daughter who always wants me to be around her, I am so limited to take any step to get out of this situation I am currently on because not enough information, knowledge or skill. but now I am gonna try to do what you are telling me to do in this video I have to be discipline doing the change step by step I hope I can do it and succeed .

My wife does not understand, why I often sitting in front of my PC to 3 - 4 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. This is almost the only time where I can immerse myself in learning something new without any distractions. Maybe I will not learn 1% new stuff every day, but I am happy, if I can lift my knowledge 3% per week. In 2023 I was able to change my career from being a chemist to become an IT specialist.

I was not expecting that intro but it was truly powerful and I needed it. I came from a background where I didnt know anyone in tech (still don't) or planned for success. I wasted years of my life partying and making dumb decisions. Over the last few years I realized I only get one shot at my life. I dont get to relive yesterday, last week or last year. I became very motivated and worked hard to get my Security+, Network+, and CYSA+ and I am currently a Data Center Engineer at a large company but my dreams dont stop there. If I can do it you can too. A quote that pushed me was "The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the 2nd best time is right now."

To everyone here. The worst thing you can do is to compare your learning skills to others. Everyone learns differently, and grows up differently. If you don't catch on quickly on certain subjects, that's ok! You are a different learner, and tell yourself that and you'll be ok. As long as you keep trying.

Thanks for sharing David, been following you for years. I have been in IT for a while, working as network admin for the past 5 years in a large refinery. Really have been leaning towards Pythin and maybe cloud. It seems Python is that one thing that can really help with a lot of different paths (network automation, development, deveops, cloud, cybersecurity AI) at least thats how I see it. Found a really good course that helps with getting the basics down. After that I will take a more advanced python course with projects. Hope to get remote work one day.

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. Accents is never a problem, my accent is heavy & I have been here for nearly 4 decades. Blessed to have had a fab job I enjoyed and dreamt about since 7, I’m 58, left it at 55. I’m going to be a DD, death doula. I hardly watch tele, but I watch antique films or movies ones in a while.

[@seansanders789]

I woke up feeling miserable today and ur video fully changed that around. One of the best video I have watched on KZbin in a long time. And I literally watch KZbin all day everyday

[@davidbombal]

Thank you! Very happy to hear that!

[@faisalkhan1026]

I have known you from a UDEMY course back in 2020, and I love your content, really mature and a positive energy to push people forward to rise up and succeed. Thanks for everything you taught us. You have a very good set of traits as described in the teaching of Islamic Ideology and Quran that encourages every human to be a better person every next day and help others along the way. Massive respect and love to you from Pakistan.

[@isaacblakely2237]

Thank you David. I just graduated from NU with my masters in Cybersecurity and am anxious to start my career in this amazing field. I really appreciate your kind helpful advice on your channel.

Working in a toxic work environment like I do, is a real challenge. Just getting another job isn't so easy. Getting my CCNA will be my answer.

[@Nsadheo]

By far the best channel on KZbin. This man deserves 28 million subscribers!

[@maximepivi]

[@Arexxen]

Great video! It's refreshing to see individuals dedicated to making a positive impact by offering valuable advice and insights online. We could definitely use more people like you, striving to uplift and guide others in a constructive manner. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Cipher1603]

Thank you for being a ray of sunshine for so many including me. All the Best David and I hope everything keeps on getting better and better for you and your loved ones!

[@00Jimmy00]

i am succesful just because i followed my thouts, intuition and were focused on goal not on what other people were saying or worse, what you think someone is talking behind your back. Keep focus on goals and keep learning :)

[@jbaezhernandez]

The First 13 minutes of the video are precious. Just wonderful advice that can apply to everyone.

[@mesutant4244]

Hello David, my name is Mesut, and I'm 43 years old. I've always had a passion for technology. A year ago, I made a significant decision to start a cybersecurity engineering course, and during this journey, I began following you. I genuinely appreciate the excellent content you create. Congratulations on your success. This was a huge step for me, considering my challenges with ADHD and lacking a tech background. Despite my age, language, my time and previous work in the service industry, I started the course and recently began a 45-day internship. Your video was fantastic, filled with valuable advice and motivation. With that inspiration, I kindly request you to create a video addressing ADHD individuals in the tech field. There's a significant portion like me, and your insights would be immensely beneficial. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year! 🙏

[@DanTaylor-rv4xg]

Thank you, David. I have learned a great many things from you and all the guests you have joined you. I hope this new year permits you the opportunity to bring even more topics to the channel. I appreciate your hard work and insight.

[@QWERTY-ov9tm]

So I've configured L2 and L3 switches multiple times on Packet Tracer. I finally was commissioned.to setup and switch for one where the long term memory died. Any time it would reboot it would lose its configuration. It worked without a hitch. It felt so good to finally put into practice what I've been working at. I want and will do more.with networking. This is due to being inspired by you, David. Thank you.

[@asr84]

Thanks!

[@PrinceJohn84]

Big focus on cyber security for me. Over the last three years, I've helped our company develop a robust defence in depth strategy, looking at various tools that can help our customers better secure their environments in the process. AI and machine learning have played and will continue to play a huge role in that and this is where the focus is for me. Superb video David. Keep up the excellent work 👍

[@codebietnoi]

Can't agree more. I get up a bit earlier, spend 1 hour writing, and take a walk every day. I don't know how it will be, but I feel it really works. I control my day easier. At work, I follow 3-3-3 method. After work, I spend time with my beloved wife and kids. Also, getting to bed a bit earlier.

[@Master-yb5id]

Thank you David , this video just made me open my eyes about the future I want ...you such an inspiration for a lot of us GOD always bless you and give you the strength and energy to achieve all you wish to ...GOD BLESS YOU

[@joeblow229]

My tech-skills are a mile wide, and about an inch deep (to quote David lol). The challenge for me is separating "things I want to learn because they're fun and interesting" and "things I could learn to help me get a better job". I was working as Customer Support for startups for years, but now that everyone has "remote experience", my skill-set is not nearly as unique as it used to be.

[@AlejandroReyes-nv6xo]

Wow needed to hear this today!!! as I’m 45 just got laid off from a salesforce admin, customer success and many other duties they threw at me when working for a startup. I’ve always had the opportunity to land a decent paid job although I don’t have a degree but do have a few low level certifications but today will be my first day going back to school as the job market has pushed me to. Thank you for this post. Let’s all stay focus and believe in the process with the end in mind.

[@Hoaa89]

Happy New Year David! I finally stepped into Cyber Security. Thanks to you and all the helpful advices over all these years. Your videos make me think about what's about today and whats possible tomorrow. It gave me strengh and the positive mindset to change and to be better every day. Again, thank you! Huge inspiration. Cheers!

[@bogsi87]

Expect more motivational videos in the middle of the year also.

[@davidbombal]

Glad to hear that. Great suggestion :)

[@MakeitZUPER]

That was an excellent presentation. I'm retired but want to occupy my mind with the newest tech so that I can set up my home lab/server system and be protected, ad & malware free, etc. Thank you for laying out the path and suggesting the books. I'm relatively new here and can understand a lot of what you say, but I'm just trying to absorb what I can for now. Thanks again.

[@davidbombal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@qqqqqq7466]

David, you are the best! Exactly what we need now. Your connection with your youtube audience is at the top.

I will try to watch the beginning of this video every day or week, pure truth. Thank you for it!

[@jorgecueva1679]

Great Channel, congratulations. Skip bad comments and criticisms, unless it comes from someone you admire and you believe it will help you to improve. Best channel for Cybersecurity. Keep going. Greetings from México!!!

[@rikachiu]

I was heading nowhere in my life during my 20s. Dead-end jobs. I made the switch to IT 6 years ago and am on track to IT Director. Started with nothing but an A+ cert and no degree. Only in IT can you climb like this!

[@kriskeane9977]

I am a IT project Manager in late thirties but looking now into specialising more and be more hands on. I am in between AI or Cybersecurity… can’t make a decision though on focus…but started with Python as a first step and take it from there. Thanks for the info you are sharing!

yeah David that is the fact about people who like to discourage other

[@fyardlest1]

Hello David, Happy 2024! You always inspire me, and thank you for that.

[@dmos91]

Who on earth sends you negative comments on KZbin? Talk about a waste of time... All you do is give us knowledgeable quality content and the inspiration/motivation your channel gives me everytime I watch one of your videos is so helpful. Thank you, I look forward to the new videos in 2024!

[@davidbombal]

I don't think it's possible to have a social media following without getting negative comments. Some people just like to hate / complain etc. I get some really bad ones unfortunately, but I ignore those haters and focus on the amazing people like you that watch my content. Thank you. 😀

[@dmos91]

@@davidbombal I don't get the "old" comments either. With age comes experience and knowledge. Anyways keep the great content coming! I love the videos with Occupytheweb and Neil Bridges. :)

[@pascalauclair4973]

I totally agree with you, as we eat every day to live, we need to constantly update our knowledge to survive, plus it gives meaning to our lives, thank you.
