Strongly recommend watching part 2 as well. Very inspirational to me.

+BruceWillakers Hi rawb! Im happy to se you here :)

[@tharun960]

At 1 point in your life perhaps you might be struggling and "a loser" as the video creator likes to put it but remember that it takes years of dedication, improvement, practice at your skills/craft to reach mastery. So what are each of you working on?? Where do you spend YOUR TIME/ENERGY? Check out Mastery by Robert Greene!

[@stalbourne]

Thanks rawb for recommending this!

[@spoonlegs]

I watched this series for the first time a few weeks ago thanks to a link from reddit. I keep coming back because whenever i get to part 3 i am moved to tears and it relieves me of a lot of self-criticism. It's sort of like the feeling that the song Vienna by Billy Joel gives me. Thank you so much for this series, Adam. It is so so special to me.

[@beckyhofer4328]

Adam… I just heard interviewed by Danny Gregory. I’m so glad I did because I didn’t know about The Long Game. BRILLIANT. Just watched all three! I’m 65 and have been taking up art for just the last few years… I remember you saying you thought 30 was too old to start drawing! The long game is just beautiful and beyond meaningful to me. Thank you for creating it. Keep going. I will be sharing your work.❤️

[@Inkytophatt]

Remarkable. I'm an artist and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you for making this.

[@livesimple-ub9qd]

Still come back to this all the time, have recommended it to SO many people, THANK YOU!

[@Jcolinsol]

I don't think that there's anything mutually exclusive about genius and being a loser. Most acknowledged geniuses were losers in some way. Vincent Van Gogh sold just one painting during his lifetime, and his personal life was even more bleak. Orson Welles was prolific in his youth, but never really made much money off of his work; he ended up struggling to get projects completed throughout the rest of his career, and his final film role was in a Transformers movie.

[@nathanwombwell2421]

Da Vinci wasn't just an artist. He was a biologist, a physicist and an inventor. He is a genius for his work on human circulatory system, His work on flying machines and catapults or his observations of nature. His genius did not come from a few paintings.

[@R8Production]

I am beyond lost in words in how good this video is, to who ever your are, taking time to research this and make such a great video, thank you, am 19 and being exposed to this is what makes me really happy, thank you so much for the great videos, can;t wait to see more of your work. :D

[@AustinMCraigDoesNeatStuff]

I really can't like this series enough. Thank you so much for producing and releasing this. I revisit it often. It means a lot to me. Thank you.

[@subjectlife82]

A thought about CREATIVITY. You definitely deserve more subscribers. I'm surprised you don't have a million already

[@ObscureHedgehog]

Incredible video, and I love people who provide information on the music they've used. I UTTERLY LOVE THESE PEOPLE!

[@vmno6300]

Worlds most underrated video. Adam come back! I watch This video when Im Uninspired

[@EliseWongCreations]

I have to say this Long Game series is amazing. I found it out in 2015, was surprised when I saw Part 3 came out hehe but it goes without saying that it was brilliant as well. I made a video telling people to go watch it here because this kinda thing needs to be shared! Very helpful, motivational and inspirational. Thanks for making such videos as these. :D

[@fitnessbusinesssuccess7177]

I agree, I often come back to watch these 3 vids as motivation myself.

[@mohammadamiry3554]

One of the best videos I watched on youtube. Continue the awesome work guys!

[@eddytritten]

This is the first video of your channel that I watch... I'm really impressed, great content and spot on execution! Good job man hope you'll stick around until your big break :)

[@waterglas21]

Great video, it should have million of views. Keep going, you earned a new subscriber :)

[@janelizrodriguez2509]

Why doesn't this have over a million views?

[@prince11338]

Very nice video and graphics, glad i found this channel

[@EddyAvila87]

I guarantee this video has saved lives. Something I think everyone needs to see. Great stuff.

[@kristofferlimersland5189]

This is the biggest hidden gem I've found on youtube since the channel which brought me here, Exurb1a.

[@GuyusSeralius]

All very well done, both in your visual presentation and in your analysis! Based on what I already know about Leonardo da Vinci, you really seem to have done your homework on the man. I'm impressed and I enjoyed it! I also really relate to Leo's "long game" approach and to his getting a late start in fulfilling his true potential.

[@rafaelpuyana]

Fantastic media piece. Thanks so much for this.

[@Ady.B]

Wow, this was an amazing essay for its time. Earned my sub

[@henrychen2394]

really inspiring, thanks for sharing!

[@girigauravbhatnagar1]

How is this not famous ?

[@thelastcipher9135]

tesla maybe bankrupt but he was a genius..

[@elementina1122]

Mike sent me here! I am glad! Great video!

[@MeRetroGamer]

Spanish subtitles are bad arranged, I hope you solve it soon. I love your essays! =)

[@nv7287]

love you guys! make more they are great !

[@Danielblco0]

This is just what I needed, thank you.

[@castillo4141]

Subtitles in spanish are not synchronized properly, at the beginning the phrases start to change before the audio finishes. Otherwise, great vid!

[@altamashurooj]

awesome..where's part 2 ?!?!

[@TylerMayMedia]

Wow! This is awesome! I'll definitely be watching for more!

[@JossMigue]

what is the last song in the background?

[@AndresTorres3d]

this video has problems with the spanish translation, please fix them, its a wonderful message

[@yongbangyang]

3:00 is my favourite part! Music from "Crayon Physics - Ghost Lullaby"

[@LucyPero]

DaVinci WAS a genius. He was just really, really, REALLY smart (220 estimated IQ. That's fucking INSANE). Unfortunately, no amount of work that we do will change our IQ, and our overall success in life depends a lot on it (To the IQ skeptics, just google for correlation between IQ and economic success, and the dozens and dozens of studies that ABSOLUTELY validate IQ tests). We're not born equal. Some people are born smart, and some dumb, and there's very little they can do to change that. It's just like height. Maybe if you didn't accomplish much in life, it wasn't because of your dedication, but just because of your IQ. I wish it were the other way, where any individual can start out with the same IQ, but that's just not the case. If you wanna play basketball but you're short, then you're shit out of luck. *HOWEVER!*, IQ isn't sufficient for accomplishment. You have to work your ass off, even if you are a genius. Therefore, this video still has a lot of validity. But still, saying that DaVinci wasn't a genius is an outright LIE. Just look at everyone who worked just as much as him, and see where they ended up.

[@piemonkey321]

Who is the guy at 2:50? I have no idea.

[@AElegria]

I'm willing to use these videos in my creativity classes, but the Spanish subtitles are terribly off...Is there a way to fix that?

[@GabrielFontanive]

Thanks, it is great! If you have the english subtitles can you please display to us :D

[@Drapperbat]

Props for Crayon Physics music

[@nhathuychu314]

Quá hay và mê say. Da vinci giống tôi, mừng cho ông ta

[@theothers5541]

he became a genius, genious is 10% INSPIRATION AND 90% PERSPIRATION, forgot who said these words ,but it is true. so was for Leonardo

[@LionPlanes]

The subtitles are wrong, maybe you should check it

[@EricLinArt]

Hi, do you mind if I add a Mandarin subtitle of this series of inspiring video? I really want the people in my native language to benefit from your video too!

[@AdamWestbrookArt]

Hi Eric, send me an email (adam [at] delve.tv) and I'll send you the english script to translate. Thanks!

[@amirrahnama8974]

Amazing. Love the ideas.

[@Rdasboss]

I think there are plenty of examples today of people not making it big till they are older. I can think of mainly actors. Look at jonathan banks he's been acting since he was really young, but it wasn't until breaking bad that he took off.

[@andreireves1917]

Art cannot be finished.

[@DavidJGillCA]

What do we make of someone like Ulysses S Grant who was a failure in life and then a victorious, heroic battlefield commander of rare insight and then a failure again.

[@thomasdoan5913]

Haha, one great carpenter to the next, very, very good. Great taste in that statement. Also great video and perfectly true.

[@mcbamba]

It's possible add subtitles in Portuguese??

[@anwardani7863]

+Carlos Robério Silva you should say is it possible

[@juneltulalian866]

Leonardo da Vinci was born in the republic of Florence which is Italy today

[@orangewillp]

These guys aren't losers! They were considered losers at there time, mainly because people didn't understand them. Case in point, most Leonardo's inventions were too complex to be made at that time and Tesla's work was almost entirely misunderstood throughout his lifetime. Anyone who would still consider them losers today could be compared themselves to the people of their times, who were mostly deluded by religion and, with Leonardo's time, rejected science.

[@paulashinn]

Judging by the comment section, I don't think people understood the real message of this video :)

[@thatbritchick11]

I must confess, I like you.

[@LSebastien]

You might want to change the title of this video since it has nothing to do with the contents.

[@meowmeowmeow5202]

How do you define success? Money? Just imagine how rich people in history were never immortalized in history.. Of course with the exemption of the kings,nobleman and those who were already born rich. Your money would save you today. But it wont make you great person. Money is not equal to success. It would make it easier for Leonardo if he was born rich though. In the end of the day,he was a genius and money doesn't make you great.

[@AhmedAlMahdiOfficial]

I want to add Arab subtitles to the video.

[@eren96lmn]

Loser? The scenes he shares with Lucrezia Donati didn't say so...

Big crap. Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the greatest minds of mankind.
