The book referenced for today's video is 'The Signal and the Noise' by Nate Silver. I recommend it highly.

With love and respect,

Hey Nikhil, thanks for the shoutout. Love your content. Keep up the good work, you're making art.

"manipulate the probability, " I think I have a new motto.

[alexdane]

At least you have over 200k subs and are impacting thousands of people around the world I mean that is a pretty big accomplishment

[damondominique]

I don't think we will ever feel we have "arrived" no matter what age we are.

That pokemon metaphor really hit home... I remember it was so hard to catch all the legendaries with only one masterball but I'm sure we all have memories of countless restarts and hundreds of ultra balls, great balls and pokeballs thrown until we caught them.

Mate you literally have opened me up to many different books and introduced me to David Goggins, I think you have impacted the way I view things, I’m grateful for those self-help videos because they are actually very useful. That advice for cold showers has helped hugely! I was in a dark place in my life, felt lost, even suicidal and your book recommendations are spot-on, it shows that you have done your research well! Also hello from Australia! P.S. your skits are 💯

You read my mind with this one. I've been thinking about probability often too. If you do the right strategies, the right routine and so, you can challenge the inborn chances that were given to you (nationalities, race, parental ideologies, and such). The more you do the right things, the more likely you are to get to whatever you aspire to get. That said, you still are at the mercy of whatever the destiny has for you, but at least you've raised your chances and you've tried your best to get there, and hopefully, something came out of that, even though it may (or it may not be) what you expected. That is far more meaningful, than not ever trying, or trying with not much effort.

Dear Nikhil, thank you for comparing life to a Pokemon game. If you can find a way to put a Pokemon metaphor into every video you make from now on, that would be greatly appeciated

[lliamwebster]

I woke up to this, I have to say it is a good start to my day.

[rockyjumper]

I can’t be the only one who has had a existential crisis during this quarantine. Edit 8/12/20 All I can say is that it gets better now I have a focused path in life and a I feel much happier

[TheSpiritualWalks]

Don’t be so hard on yourself bro, you’ve inspired thousands, including me! ❤️

[dakinilover]

I didn't accomplish anything in life and I'm a total failure. I'm poor, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm not successful and I'm not someone who is admired by others. And yet, I feel more happy than I have ever felt in my entire life! You may wonder, how is that possible? Well, I discovered that real happiness starts within and is not dependent on outside circumstances ;)

[jaimu]

"Greatness is coming" I'll remember this for you when YouTube sends you a plaque, or when you're an actor in a big movie. Whichever comes first :) another great video btw.

[joaoghiraldini]

Nikhil, you've accomplished the greatest thing any man or woman could hope for: you've inspired others.

[mayanathao]

U made good points!! So many fall for this “hustle” motivational toxic content

[disillusioned]

Your "to us i say, greatness is coming" actually gives me chills... You are awesome man ❣️

[epicgamer]

This is legit the best "uncommon" approach to self improvement, and self fulfillment #Increaseprobability

[JanineC]

Thank you, I really needed this. I love the comparison that you made to a game. People waste hours and hours on a game to beat the probability, regardless of how miniscule it is. I guess it's easier to do it in a game where failing doesn't have repercussions. It's all about mindset.

[seemu]

You might feel like you haven’t achieved anything but you have helped me at times when I’ve hit a low in my life. You have helped me not to feel like such a failure and keep on going

[CL-wski]

That Pokemon example really drove the point home, I was sceptical till you said this
