Not gonna lie every time he would mention that uni is the best time of your life really hits you different when you realize you're spending most of your uni years sitting at home on zoom calls.

Ali: “Take photos with your friends at university”
Me: * nods while in my 100th zoom session *

I’m nearing the end of my teenage years - one piece of advice I’ve learned is that it’s okay to change your mind and not everything needs to be done with the intent of impressing people. Do it because you love it, and you’ll be happy. Do it for others, and you’ll be miserable.

I am 18 and at that stage where I am finishing school. I have decided to go against of the norm and not go to university so I can chase my dream of content creating, but watching this has still helped and motivated me massively for the actions I should take and how I should think. Thank you so much man for this video, and I hope that everyone achieves their dreams and lives a good life! <3

no one:
ali: promotes his own skillshare class to his past self
the level of self promo is honestly commendable 👏🏼

I’m a 13 yr. girl, just trying to succeed in life I’ve been having a lot of negative thoughts and lately I’ve been searching for resources and things to help me advance and prosper this video really helped me.

[cloaked_]

I'm 15 right now, and this video has legit helped me so much. Watched it last year and now I feel like there's a particular purpose for me doing things now. Ali you're the best!! Thanks so much!!

[MilesLeslie]

Who else fixed their posture once Ali talked about having good posture?😂

[aroobmanzoor]

one thing i love about Ali is that he's so intelligent yet he never makes me feel stupid, he's not gatekeeping his knowledge he's spreading it further. He always explains things in such a kind way - it's very encouraging!

[what-qoyv]

I am 13 and I'm watching these types of videos because I want to nurture myself. I am so glad I am doing these things at such a pretty young age. And, also, I am helping myself to learn, grow and improve no matter the circumstances.
So, thank you for posting this video, for spreading your knowledge and for not making us feel brainless. 😭👏

I am comming back to this video since 2021…Because it was my first year of College
I moved out from my parents house and my life changed
I never comment in YouTube videos, but this one deserves, even if no one sees it
Now I am in my 3rd year, and I do exactly what he said in the video and my life is going smoothly
I became the best student for a short period of time, and now I skip lectures, go to coffee shops and revise them and my life keeps on going fine
I have incredible friend, gf and I manage my life even if I didn’t write the shit of assignment
I am even getting sad that I only have 1 last year remaining in my UG program

Thank
You for reading

Ali is slowly morphing into Steve Jobs

[savannahbyars]

I’m 18 and i’ve been watching your videos for two years now. Honestly you’re such a comfort. thank you so much for freely spreading around information and encouraging each of us kindly to live a better life, no matter how small of changes we implement!

[declanhugors]

The things Ali said about university scares my 15-year old self beyond sanity, but his kind and reassuring voice is what gives me hope that it's not so bad

[milenapavlidou]

You can already tell he’s gonna become a wonderful dad

[davidologe]

Being a 13yr old and watching this,
Man I'll never waste my teenage years.
I got a good headstart.👌👌😚☺️

[ColegGwentvideos]

I'm almost 16, a deep overthinker, and I very much needed this. Thank you.

My biggest advice for my 18 year old self? Enjoy life. I don’t think I nearly enjoyed being a young adult as much as I could have. Life is too short to be stressed and worried about growing up. By all means, I don’t mean be stupid and waste all your money… but just live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of life!
