sometimes the most obvious choices in life are the most difficult ones to [Music] make I've lost a lot of friends in my life I've lost a lot of money opportunities and most importantly the time that I'll never get back for years and years have blamed everyone else but deep inside I knew the truth that I was the problem you're so beautiful so in this video I want to talk about a couple of things which had the potential to save 5 to eight years of my life if I might have followed them earlier because as people
say we all have two lives and the second one begins when we realize that we only have one I'm over the past 8 years of my life one of the biggest realizations that I've had is that some people are smart some people are average and a few people they're not so smart now the society expects the smarter ones to do much better than the average and the average ones to do much better than the dumb ones but the reality it's completely different [Applause] different I've seen a lot of smart people who never end up doing
anything meaningful in life but at the same time I've seen a lot of the so-called dumb people who achieve really big things in life and there's only one reason behind this some people might call this a luck but I call it the drive the amount of hard work that you are ready to put into your aircraft so the next time you feel like man this guy is so smart how do I beat him just tell yourself all you have to do is keep trying because hard work doesn't just beat Talent it actually replaces and add
in one more flavor called as the luck to the entire game so now this life gives you an amazing chance to outwork every single person around you and climb to the [Music] top now this is an important one you remember that people say the failures are the Stepping Stones of success now what if I tell you that this is completely false for 99% of the people yes that's true because failures definitely can teach us a lot of stuff but no one even cares to learn from them I mean how many times have you really tried
to do something and then you failed and then you went back and checked why did they even fa what are the mistakes that I've done how can I do this better next time have you asked these questions to yourself you did not but why why didn't you see life is something similar to chess it's not about how many games that you're playing it's about what did you learn from the previous [Music] game whenever I was going through some of the most difficult phas of my life like during my placements in college when everyone around me
were getting placed but I was just stuck inside my room or when I was almost about to fail in a subject during my first year of college or when I was going through a very bad breakup in college one thing which always helped me one thing which was always behind my back to support me was my friends grow so I completely believe that having good friends is like one of the biggest blessings of your life but remember just because someone is making you feel comfortable doesn't mean they are your true friends because most of the
people around you they're not your friends they're just fake they don't really care about you they drain your energy they hold you back and make you doubt your so this is my suggestion only try to have a small group of good friends around you because it's better to stay alone rather than having the fake ones around you now the fourth thing is a bit complex so I want you to listen to this very carefully the amount of money that you make in your life is directly dependent on the direction of your work and is partially
dependent on how hard you're working but here's something interesting you can optimize this direction to give you the maximum result by actually working hard and building some connections and in simple words if you did not understand what I was trying to say please rewatch the previous 20 seconds again and again and again because it is by far one of the biggest lessons that I've learned about my career and now let's talk about the last one from this list ah I don't want to end this video so soon but what can I say videos have to
come to an end just like life but here's the thing if there's only one thing that you can take away from this video remember whenever you fall down whenever you fail whenever something bad happens to you whenever you are going through some of the most difficult phases of your life remember that no one is coming to save your Liv friends can give you the Comfort your parents can give you the safety in it your brother or sister can tag along with you but at the end of the day you are the one who's solely responsible
for your failure or for your success and when you truly understand the depth of the sentence I'm the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul the way that you spend your life would completely change I mean what is life life the way that you spend your days is the way that you spend your weeks the way that you spend your weeks is the way that you spend your months the way that you spend your months is the way that you spend your years the way that you spend your years is the
way that you spend your life so my dear brothers and sisters today is your life find the purpose try to give your best and dedicate your life to it because at the end of your life you don't want to die with the regret of not giving your best
