Maybe your personality suck too, simply base on your look😅 one of your unfair advantage

[@manictiger]

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.

[@manictiger]

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.

"If you wouldn't ask advice of someone, don't take criticism from them" is such an incredible quote

[@VesperAegis]

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.

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.

[@kazimsyed7367]

- 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.

[@adriae.s.3814]

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.

[@ganndalf202]

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.

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.

[@Cyborg_1612]

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.

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

[@SpicyZucchiniVA]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@nyurons]

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. ❤

Bravo to you for keeping driven and maintaining the focus to stay on track! It’s a difficult thing to keep going when the progress is so hard to see in the long term aspect.

[@hermoneywhichshedroppedont2596]

Girl ur such a life changer. U have no idea how much u have helped me with this. Thank you so much for this video and just for existing!!

[@balqeesuthman344]

I started a fitness goal at the beginning of this year and i was about quitting when i bumped into your channel. At first, i didn't want to watch the video cause I've seen alot other youtubers videos before. But after watching it i felt like my spirit has been awoken and i felt a new energy surge through me. I love the part where you said "it never gets easier, you just get stonger". That part really motivated me to continue on my goal. Thanks for the time to used on this video.

[@kdatalbi]

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.❤

[@Dencio_Lang]

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.

[@IBSaurabh]

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!!

[@aboriteko]

sometimes we already knows those hints, we just need great people like her to remaind us with their point of views and experiences.

[@creativelym8284]

Dear Ruri, the writing of this video is gold. Thank you for taking your time to clarify these thoughts and deliver them in such a clear way🌸🌺With appreciation, M

[@Aidan_05_]

This video is brilliant. From the script to your delivery, it all hit me deeply. So grateful for this video. Definitely one I will be rewatching many times ❤

[@wesselsi3791]

Bro it's so refreshing to hear this, I feel like I'm being bashed on almost every aspect for being 22 and not going out, reading, making stuff, learning things and trying to grow as a person. I have 1 friend that is like this too but besides that it gets kind of lonely. Thanks for making this video

[@ronaldomobile5415]

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 😂

[@jonlima9897]

Your english is Fine Bro!

[@ronaldomobile5415]

Thanks 😇❤

[@VioletLanguages]

Hey Ruri, I've been watching your channel for over a year now and I haven't missed a video. Regardless of the topic, you're always just emanating motivation, the way you talk about things is so exciting. I really enjoy polyglot content on youtube and I wanna do the same thing in the future. I'm fluent in 5 languages now and after I learn 2 more, I'll start making youtube videos; that's what will make me stand out from other people.

[@themultilingualfamilyhub]

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

[@DJBb0y]

I watch the whole video without skipping. You got me thinking like wow I need to get my lazy bum together. I know what I need to do I just need to do. At my point in my life I got to take action and less thinking now. You're one of my favorite youtubers out there and keep up the content it's really inspiring. Thank you.

[@sophialyudova7647]

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

[@mumiko106]

обожаю Рури,уже год смотрю ее видео, многие мне очень помогли

[@troybonner91]

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.

[@MKGamingInvesting]

I litterally love this video. One of the best of hundreds I watched in the last mounths since improving my mind ("beating overthinking") and in central working on my body/health

[@AaronMetallion]

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.

[@ffdd6102]

Literally super easy to disprove almost all these vague inspirational words

[@user-ps3om1xw3r]

You are absolutely amazing and inspiring, Ruri ! I just subscribed to your wonderful channel today, and I've been watching so many of your videos. These seriously help me as just today, I completed a lot of assignments and lectures using your time management tips. You're so powerful and impressive. Keep up the great work!

[@Rei64]

Thank you for making this video. I didnt expect this today at all. I definitely feel motivated and I'm at one of those turning points in life. This kind of motivation goes a long way when you're already trying really hard to succeed.

[@ryanmalachy777]

You are a blessing to the world and to YT. Your videos inspire me so much.

[@virtuoso5736]

Thank you for the message! Good luck on your grind, I'm happy to see someone as ambitious and hard working as you because there are not many people like us who have the desire to grow. I hope you create more content like this!

[@blueberrypie1592]

amazing im so glad i came across your channel you actually source out your information so well thank you !! ❤

[@habibhossain4659]

please,give me your used old mac book

[@scarcryostorm983]

Gotta say, this video definitely changed my perspective on life and i gotta thank you for your advices, really helps in this tough times im experiencing.

[@ngoziagwunwite]

I've been feeling so low these past few days, I'm so glad I found your channel, just at the right time

[@livreanimacoes5704]

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

[@texrichardson9846]

I respect you alot for taking care of your family. Thank you for making this video.

[@ajayshekar1023]

Bro I legit love this girl thank you for the insight Ruri we appreciate it!!!

[@maxonator3913]

Definitely one of my favorite YT videos I've ever watched (no joke, I've been actively on this platform since 2016). Very inspiring and eye-opening. I've watched probably 40+ motivational videos over the last 3 years or so, hopefully this is the one I can actually learn from and get some sort of a boost...

[@whoguy4231]

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.

[@nguyenalena7764]

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

[@jasserbelkhiria3894]

first of all your voice is so soothing/calming even though hearing about the subject itself is difficult. the music is really well picked and i enjoyed everything about the video. the video is much needed especially in my situation. just randomly got the video as a recommendation and i didnt regret listening to it. keep up the good work :D

[@AlecWyld]

I really like what you said about how you cannot change the rules of the world, but you can learn how to play them to your advantage. I've always had this mind set and have been saying this for a long time. Great video.

[@Christian-ve4bs]

I love you Ruri you inspire me to chase my dreams ❤️

[@entropyanonymous3385]

The world always need people like you Ruri, I was having doubts, and just after one video I was able to understand what I need, and what I need to do already. great video

[@findpianosheet]

I was about to give up facing struggles everyday. Thank you for this video..

[@AnujJain.YouTube]

Appreciated! Makes me to take note of many things. Thank you "Ruri and Keep on going. Lots of 💙

[@MOTM7779]

ruri, thank you for all the content and knowledge. cheers❤❤🙏🙏

[@user-lv3ky2hn2b]

Thank you for your elegance and wittiness. Glory to entrepreneurs!

[@mezmrzr5977]

@Ruri, I came back after 6 months, I am glad to have watched your videos. I have been meditating since then and have seen a huge improvement in my life along with being healthy, relationship to myself, and many other important and non-important matters that may or may not affect my life. I am still glad to have found your content 6 months ago, and I wish you the best.

[@MM-zw8sm]

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%.

[@ziyaerel2015]

It seems %99 of people happily living in their comfort zones!

[@Englishpracticeasy]

I love ruri and admire your skill , be good person and go ahead ❤

[@elsiendisya2380]

I am so glad I found this KZbin channel I’ve been telling myself that I needed motivation but you’ve offered so much more thank you
