These are actually great points that I don't think I've heard of from other YouTubers before. I thought you were going to say invest in real estate, do intermittent fasting, or meditate. 😂

Everything that I really needed to hear today. Thanks for making this video

Thanks Lily, your contents lately have been really thoughtful and less « polarized ». I found myself being more consistent on clicking on them 😅

This has really put things into perspective. Definitely watching this every week to remind myself.

6:50 I’d also add other fields that have complex/ambiguous problems to be solved can often be found in B2B. It can not be an innovative field though can have similar problems that are well compensated. I’m in the b2b part of finance and dang there’s real impact to have 😅

I hope you’ve been more successful in finding a replacement job. I love these short and impactful videos

I should have become an electrical engineer instead of a designer. 😢

Someone has to repair the robots until they learn how to do it.

Marriage in general reduces a woman’s lifespan it doesn’t matter if the man is rich or poor 😂😂😂

Hey Designalily, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?

Your videos are always so valuable 🥹 I wish this one was a bit longer
