You’re comment about privilege....yeah..you’re an incredible kid. To have that perspective at your age is one of a kind. I’m 33 years old and I didn’t have that perspective in my early 20s. You will go far in life. Onward and Upward.

[@adityasrivastav4592]

Joshua Mueller i reAlly really love how you are so humble! Not easy to say

[@picklerick9191]

"Would that guy be strong? No. No, that guy would be injured immediately..." idk why but I laughed so hard at that. Love you're videos man. You always bring up some really interesting topics. I remember thinking to myself a couple months back "Man this guy really has it all figured out". Thanks for keeping it real with us.

[@Bhuyakasha]

Yeah and then he would rest for two days.

[@TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

Congrats. Keep it up.

[@Yurner0oo0]

Thanks. Of course) I already ordered 3 more. Can't wait until it's come. btw not sure if i'm writing correct because i also learn english as a 2nd language. And have to say that for me John's videos helps in this case too =)

[@ruslanuchan8880]

Wow, you guys are awesome. I'm gonna watch it after this haha

[@ashlandelectric526]

It’s so refreshing to see some honesty on this platform. This video earned my subscribe to say the least.

[@atinysoftbean1645]

As someone who's studying computer science (a dream/plan of mine since I was 14) while recovering from 5 years of severe chronic depression and other mental disorders (yes, diagnosed and all), I love seeing these honest videos of yours where you explain that even productive people like you struggle sometimes. They remind me that I am not failing my recovery if I still struggle from time to time, because that's something healthy people are not fully protected from either, they are just more protected than I am. Sometimes I feel bad because I am taking things very slow and still struggle a bunch, but if healthy people still struggle in their normal-paced lives, than I, as a mentally ill person, am totally allowed to struggle just as much in a slower paced schedule. It's something I have to remind myself of every single day, and your videos about this stuff really help with that. And on the other hand your productivity vidoes make me look forward to when I can work at my full potential again, because when I am in a good phase, I can be just as much of a workerbee as you in your good times. Just gotta be patient, I am out of the roughest phases of depression by now, so it's not that much of a long road ahead for me anymore.

[@dafne5932]

Needleworker's Realm I almost cried with your comment. I'm also dealing with mental health problems and lately I had been feeling useless and really slow. But your comment really change the perspective I had of all that. Thank you

[@n00bie96]

Needleworker's Realm quick question: did you have prior programming training before enrolling for computer science?

[@lastanchor2310]

You have depression because you think you have depression. Once you condition your brain into you having mental issues it gets reality. The real thing is to solve the issue causing that and not the depression itself

[@calin6327]

[@InfiresTaekook]

Honestly saw some of your videos, in your channel and thought wow, this guy is a robot. Seeing this made me realise he is human. Dude, life matters. Rest Matters, doing nothing is a doing something. Be happy don't cramp things to increase productivity. I am just gonna subscribe to you just for this channel. Finally some truth

[@leonidamonaco8049]

Well I totally understand u John. I have to do 2 exams and complete the MSc thesis in bioinformatics in 2 months. Plus, studying Python and making application for PhD (really REALLY time consuming). I totally understand you and I can say that in case I won't be able to graduate at the end of September I will be ok too. Many students from my year are already graduating right now, these days. (I have SMA condition, just saying) But they are not living my life,they are not learning programming, because they do Biology. I am doing Biology and trying to learn Informatics together. I chose this way. It will be my future. But I know that it won't be the end of the world if I will lose some good PhD opportunity because of my different attitude. Just do what u can. Take your time. I won't be able to be 100 focused if before breakfast I would not read my 4 5 pages of a book, now it is The Pillars of the earth KF. Take your time. Greetings, from Italy.

[@jeremybuenaventura808]

I respect you a lot. I hope all goes well with your studies!

[@leonidamonaco8049]

Of course I am fortunate. I love biology, and I forced my self to like bioinformatics too, since it is the only way through which I can fulfill a biology career. Bioinformatics did not exist 15 years ago. I am very lucky. Still, it was very hard to compete with let's say normal people, every day. Now it is quite hard and challenging. But this is also because I am 28 y.o. This guy, John, is so young, he has a very growth mindset. If he will be able not to loose his focus in the next 5 6 years, he will do great things.

[@valentina7182]

In the future you will look back and you will thank yourself, good luck 😊

[@lastanchor2310]

Hari Seldon Im on my last Bachelor Exams and I am really scared. Got 1 month left for 5 exams. I know I can do it but the fear kinda restricts me.

[@startup_dream]

@Hari Seldon. Count the number of "I"s and "my"s in the comments you've written. Then reread what these lovely people wrote to you and thank them for their caring comments. I'd suspect one of your bigger issues is selfishness. With that said i still found your story interesting and inspiring. Just remember to thank the people who deserve it along the way. ~

[@callen607]

Ahhhhhh I just made a video about my mental health called ‘coming out of depression’ and I was sooooo scared to post it and put myself out there. Seeing other people make vulnerable videos about mental health really inspires me so thank you so much for making this💗

[@user-pd9kj4ov8m]

This video is so great,because this past week I've been struggling really badly in studies and haven't been able to manage time or even get enough sleep. It's so great to see you show your authentic self because that normalizes failure and makes me feel like IT'S OKAY EVERYONE GOES THROUGH IT. So thanks a lot

[@nadyabarba8931]

I love this message, it really resonated with me. I, and I assume everyone else as well, appreciate this sort of honesty. Thank you for doing that!

[@EmmaLouiseHamilton]

Wow. Your videos always come at just the right time. I've been struggling, suffering with anxiety and feeling ovehwelmed. I've taken a week of to rest. Three days in, I'm starting to feel like me again - however, I was feeling guilty for taking time off, but this video is a reminder that we all need a bit of 'me' time, from time to time. We're not machines, we're not robots, we're human and need to rejuvenate from time to time.

[@luciSch95]

You are by far my favorite channel. I love your honesty and how you share every aspect of your life, both good and bad. All of your advice really means a lot as it resembles what I am currently going through as well. The idea of rest seemed crazy to me, as I used to believe that I had to be productive every single day of the year. It's taking a lot of work, but I'm finally allowing myself to just chill for a bit. I hope you keep on resting, you deserve it!

[@danielnguyen7587]

I agree that taking time off is a key aspect of growth. It's often over summer break that I spend time on reflecting and coming up with new ways to approach the next school year. Take as much time off wherever and whenever you need John. By doing so, you can become a much more well-rounded person and produce quality videos for us. I'm excited that you're back!

[@kassiewong3798]

I originally deicided to watch your videos for learning English and got motivations for studying, but I also fell for your thoughts and other features that are hard to explain. I know this is an really old video but I hope you're always doing very well☺️

[@danielfernandez0058]

Thank you for this video, I've also been struggling and I think I was feeling the same way as you. Taking some time off is needed 😇 A friend of mine always said "Balance is Perfection", your words reminded me of him. Stay awesome and much success to you😇

[@kimari1469]

Just discovered your channel and have been binge watching for the past 2 days and I loved your genuine honesty and humbleness in this video. I know many people look at others and fail to realize that we are all human and can be restless at times. This brief vid was very inspiring.

[@ygloria3139]

I love how raw your videos are. it was oddly comforting and relaxing to listen :)

[@FarizTGK]

I understand your situation completely.... Totally relatable but that was because I took it for granted that when I was on the verge losing everything... I realized what I had.. I was stressed, anxious, half-dead..now I realize just live life for each moment and I loved every second of what I did.. with passion. Thanks for your amazing advice.. And inspiring me to join Harvard.. :)

[@johan5504]

Fariz TGK no harvard is hard omg someone a individual in social media said a Harvard kid kill himself becus he got an -A in a class omg pls don’t go

[@FarizTGK]

Johan Chrispin listen,I know full well how that stuff works and I appreciate your concern but Im not one to kill myself I don't regret anything...I learn from my mistakes knowing full well I'll make a mistake today and not being unhappy but rather excited that tomorrow I'm gonna be a wiser person.. the girl I loved with all my heart killed herself as well, I know how crippling the depression can be for your loved ones and ,therefore, I learn and try...picking myself up and giving it my all to achieve what lays ahead of me and accepting it thusly. I am pursuing excellence, not success...because aiming for success will blind you, while on the other hand, if you have excellence... success will pursue YOU.. besides I'm ready to chase my dream in computing... I'm 4 grades ahead in maths and I could have a job as a game developer if I so wanted.. but that would take not only my chance to learn much much more from those who made mistakes, including myself, but also would stop me from living life like the teen that I am.....once again thank you for your time and for your concern..may God bless you, everyone and all of his creations.... Take care!

[@johan5504]

Fariz TGK omg wat a beautiful letter I appreciate it n may god be wit u too wish u best of luck n also I love that part where u said don’t aiming for success will blind u instead excellent becus success will pursue u omg I was always thought aiming for success was the key to being fulfilled omg like Steve jobs once said “don’t settle for anything less then excellence” OMG take care much love sincerely johan🙂

John Fish!! 😭😭😭 Thank You so much for sharing this!! Thank You so much for being TRUE. I overthink a lot and I struggle thinking that I’m the only confused person in this world because everyone seem to have their life together. But this video opened my heart and my mind. It’s helping me to embrace myself, accept my flaws, cherish my failures, and love myself. Thank You John Fish!!! You inspire me to be true 💗 All the love to you - You’re the man

[@aarjubhurtel4510]

Your energy is so infectious! You inspire me so much and I’m glad you’re back !

[@zachandbro]

There’s so much to do and so much going on that we try to involve ourselves in all of it. Sometimes I have to realize that I can only do one thing at a time and rest is definitely important and sometimes neglected.

[@christinakcover]

You are amazing!! So wise and with such a kind and thoughtful soul. I enjoy watching your content and hope you have a wonderful bit of summer before school starts up again!

[@jasleenkaur1726]

I saw all of ur videos it really really really helped me out in all ways Thank you so much for being here I needed you and your words.

[@amyshin1693]

You are very inspiring in my life. The way you remind everyone that we are all human. I recognize the struggles you are feeling right now, and that hit me. Even any one who seem so productive in their own way, no one can pull everything through without rest. Thanks for reminding me that.

[@gnvw]

Thank you for always being so honest and transparent with us! Can't get enough of your wisdom!

[@tori9062]

I always seem to come across one of your videos when I need it the most. Thank you for being so honest and open. I think you're absolutely lovely and brilliant. I admire you. I took this past semester off because school was getting to me so badly. I've been feeling guilty about it, but I suppose this was my resting period. I think I'm ready to go back now. Truly, thank you.

[@marielacampusano8645]

Love the honesty. Thank you for keeping it real John. Loved your message in this video.

[@banette6263]

This is really what I needed right now. I felt bad for slowing down my activities in the last days and this video helps me a lot. I don't know how you always know what to do to help other people but this video surely helps many students. Also I'm sorry for my English (I am no native speaker)

[@TreespeakerOfTheLand]

Don't worry about your English, it's pretty good. It didn't cross my mind you're not a native speaker, till I read your sentence saying you're not. As for non-native versus native speakers: a motivated non-native speaker can learn English better than native speakers who are not motivated. Take that from a non-native speaker who almost speaks English better than her mother tongue.

[@johnhubert6075]

Dude. I needed this. I feel what you have been going through so hard right now. I took no break after school finished this summer and truly regret that decision. I get my break in two weeks and I know, like you have said, I need the break. I need the rest. Everyone does once in a while. It just helps to clear your mind and not worry about anything in the word. Never stop growing.

[@yanasissembayeva2119]

Thank you sooo much for caring yourself!! We are waiting for your amazing videos! And your words are so comforting.. Thank you!! We believe in you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🏼

[@otaku5869]

No, thank you man. Ur vidoes are so motivational. I've seen most of them in a few days. Keep on doing what you do and good luck.

[@alomojohn555]

This is so inspiring. Such was my experience in my first year into architecture. It was more of art and I barely new how to hold a paint brush, let alone knowing of the different series of the 'B' pencil. Worst part is that everyone around me looked like they had it all figured out. Not once, not twice, did I get myself blasted by my lecturers. I was the class punching bag. I felt like a living joke for the first time in my life yet deep within me I knew I was more than capable of doing better. At one point in the second semester I just felt I had had enough and I decided to step aside for two weeks. There were thoughts of switching courses and everything but I'm grateful for a close friend of mine, Eric, who pulled my hand and brought me back on track. Second year has passed and in my own analysis, I have grown a lot in my academics and as a person. Currently catching up on a few reads to boost my self being and all and I must say I feel confident again in a long while. Most notably, "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek and "Tough times don't last, but Tough people do" by Robert Schuller have stood out for me. My only prayer is that in this third year that's fast approaching, I can compound my progress. Cheers from KE!

[@mukulchauhan1082]

I consider you as my brother, I've been struggling a lot few months i luckily found out your channel and things started to fall into places gradually. I learnt good lessons from you i adapted your ways of dealing with things and i also started with day planning as you do. I sat back and i started to read book you suggested, i usually didn't read much but i gave it a shot i found out its a way you talk to great successful people. I also love computers and now im learning how to code and really im loving it. I stopped and i looked back and gave a thought i learnt i lack in discipline, im trying to achieve my goals i write before sleep for the next day and its showing good results. I would always remember you, your efforts did made a difference. its been 15 days I've been checking into this channel and it made me a complete different personality. All The Best :)

[@toladep]

I appreciate your honesty, it's so refreshing. We're all human and being a human is tough shit lol great perspective and great attitude. Keep on moving forward, bud

[@assemubigaliyeva5872]

Hey John! Thanks for sharing your struggles with us, it’s super cool the way you inspire us not to give up after a mistake or a failure or anything I mean people like you, geniuses like everybody else have failures too, they do mistakes and we all are same, we all do mistakes, cuz nobody’s perfect, but some people prefer not to give up and crush it, while others don’t even want to try again and give up. That’s sad

[@Andre39814]

Love your videos dude, you're one of the most genuine people on this platform! Take care of yourself bro :)

[@mariasalva114]

Hello john , i really hope you will feel better soon and the anxiety will gradually wear away . You are a very honest and brave person because i know there's a non-ending depth to the words we use when we want to describe our negative feelings or downfalls so i totally understand how brave and willing to be positive you are . While watching your video a thought crossed my mind and that is how there's a current social pressure where rest is considered a crucial part of progress but unfortunately it's approached in a stressful manner . It's like people stress themselves out to have rest .personally i believe rest has no actual specific form or rules , it could be just freeing yourself from the norms of whatever you've been doing or just changing your mindset and priorities for a short period of time . What you're passing through is the most relevant thing ever and coming from a person who's got straight stars in their igcse's i know how it feels to see people think you're always grinding , please dont let that upset you . You're a wonderful person , i wish you a very pleasant stay at harvard and a happy future wherever you go afterwards.

[@alejandroavelar602]

I appreciate your value John! Keep doing that.

[@vaibhavih4705]

THANK YOU for this video John. As someone that works hard, sometimes too hard, and experiences burnout, I’m so grateful that you shared this lesson with your audience. It’s such an important and under appreciated idea

[@Fshmms]

This shows that you are a genuine person. I have been through something similar, wherein the team which I work with at office was asked to put in as many hours as possible. That took away our weekends as well. Now we have entered into a lean period for some time, and hence are getting a little time for ourselves. I can definitely see the differences!!

[@rominaeh6623]

[@vivalaelsa]

You’re so awesome. Youre so inspirational and so thoughtful. I can never get enough of your videos, and I really appreciate the explanation :) glad to hear you’re doing well, but I also love that you embrace struggling and failing because that’s a big part of being a human.

[@hastimafi6382]

I really needed to hear this , since I started watching your channel I’ve always looked up to how hardworking and passionate you are and I always blamed myself for the times I assumed I wasn’t working as hard / not 24/7 365 as you said , so thank you for sharing this! 💖

[@UltimateDuck97]

I understand completely where you're coming from and wish you all the best my man. This video has also inspired me to develop to be a better person and try this mentality in my own life, I am so grateful I found your channel. I must say you are such an entertaining person to listen to. I have watched many other youtubers try to create these types of videos and others like it (a commentary or whatnot), and it is so great to see that you can deliver this amazing video and inspiring talk in one take. As compared to others who constantly cut and edit in order for themselves to not become boring or repetitive while you have kept me engaged the whole video.

[@adibhaziq4015]

I had been in the same situation as you and I literally agree with you. We are in journey of our life. Relax and keep consistent in action. Analogically, in finishing full marathon, man A run w moderate speed and consistent than man B run fast but exhausted too soon. Guess who may reach the finishing line first? Keep your pace and stay strong!

[@chaitanyakolluri2839]

Great video John, strikes a balance and complements all the other videos. Some important points on rest and recharging.

[@justinahurry]

Thanks. I have been studying for 10+ hours straight these past few days, and only yesterday, when I experienced a bad headache and felt faint, did I realize that I have been pushing myself way too hard. I sort of had been starving myself as if I was punishing myself, and honestly it was a dumb move. I have been struggling with depression, anxiety and the feeling of failure all my life, so I thought maybe going all out with my studies would be a relief and all that. Something that would make me feel valued and actually have a purpose to go on. Although getting good grades didn’t make me as happy as I thought I would have been. It’s hard to understand, no one does, really. But thank you for this video. You reminded me that I needed to rest, to blow off steam and be free of what’s been chaining me these past few days. So I took a day off today, not studying or reading, and just took my friends out for lunch. I did felt relaxed for once. Gah, this was a long write. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks! With your outlook towards life and personality, you will definitely change people’s lives. Keep it up, dude! 🙌🏻

[@DrNem0]

I just graduated university and am very much in a struggle period. Watching this video was really refreshing and made me feel less lonely. It's as if I know that I need to rest and get some head space but every time I leave it for a few hours, I feel guilty and the stress piles up. Would be great to make some more vids for us strugglers!!

[@MsBlackAsh]

Your video helped me to realize that rest is growth and recovery, and it helps with our mental status for prevention of breakdowns when times are hard. Awesome video John

[@Nofxthepirate]

Your comments about growth with relation to working out are very intriguing. A lot of people think that its a waste of time to work on themselves and if they just focus on outside things they can ignore their inner problems. The problem is, just like exercise, healing IS growth. After spring term I was feeling really burned out and struggled to make it through the end of classes, so during the next two weeks I basically lounged around the house, watched livestreams, and played games with friends. I hadn't had any guilt-free free time for almost a year, and since then I feel like I have more enthusiasm and perspective about life than I did for the entire last year. This proves to me that mental rest is absolutely as important as physical rest for growth. Really glad you're taking care of yourself, I was starting to wonder what had happened to you!

[@journaldude7092]

Hey! Thanks for your honesty. Take care of yourself. You have a LOT going on. : )

[@justchilling9790]

Glad to know you’ve been doing alright, been wondering where you’ve been. It takes a lot to expose this side of your life, but I’m glad you did it, it’s so relatable for everyone and a reminder that no one is perfect. Take care love!

Thanks for the lesson, John! That workout analogy really connected with me. Rest really is important. You need a vacation!

Great quote you mentioned and it’s true. People tend to fail when they aspire towards greater things and through that they learn how to succeed!

I just discovered your Channel last night. And it really makes me want to change my habits, in order to be proactive in what you're passionate for ! I'm really impressed by your hability to speak about how to feel happy while growing, to theorize it (also impressing to see such a young guy talking on it!) . This is an interesting subject because it's a fundamental need. Everybody wants to feel happy but we have to compose with our world to reach it... And maybe you can give us some keys to do it :D

This video is beautiful, I relate to it a lot so thank you for sharing. I have developed (not out of choice!) this system with my friends where they literally text me on occasions asking if I have remembered to eat lunch or drink water - it's both touching and alarming haha

I really like your videos, inspirational, and very real. I like that you always keep it real, it’s nice to have a reality check from time to time. Keep taking care of yourself and seeking out your happiness, we’re all rooting for you :)

Thank you for what you do and your honesty, John. This video reminded me of a really useful book, "The Mind Workout", by Mark Freeman. He's a mental health advocate, and does a lot of comparisson between physical and emotional fitness/health: the struggle is part of the way, like we struggle to become stronger at the gym, for example. He also has a KZbin channel, in case you want to check stuff from him. Saludos!

Thank you so much for being genuine 💕 You just made realize that it is ok to feel drained out.. it's ok to take a step back and enjoy what you have dreamt of...
