“laziness is a privilege. if you are on survival mode, you LITERALLY can’t afford to be lazy”. This video is spot on

Facebook, social media, Instagram, tik tok ruined people’s lives.

Any time realize I'm being ungrateful I remind myself that I am currently living a life which is dream life to thousands of unprivileged kids.

I resonate with this so much. People always say “study smarter not harder”, but the key is studying smarter AND harder

This video really woke me up and gave me the reality check. There is so much value and importance in hard work. We're so laid back and comfortable that we forgot how hard our parents worked in order for us to be where we are today. Thank you so much Amy for making this video. I truly needed this wake up call.

This vid really made me feel touched. I’m a university student in Taiwan, and from a quite wealthy family. “Our generation is insanely privileged and spoiled.”This is so true.
Also I feel really empathetic when you talk about your family. My parents work extremely hard to give me abundant education resources, many precious travel experiences, and also a very good environment. I started to gradually quit social media and focused a lot more on improving myself a couple months ago, like I started to learn French, and not only focus on school projects but also keep in touch with English everyday, because I really feel that I’m extremely lucky to have such a family like this. My parents didn’t have this kind of privilege when they were young but I have it now. I really have the motivation that I want to work hard to succeed in my dream, and to make my parents proud.
BTW, quitting social media is the best choice I’ve ever made. It doesn't mean delete all those apps, It means that only use them when you have to. My mental health, my time management, all got improved because of quitting social media.
Big thanks to you for making this priceless video!

This story is like my Indian family’s story and how they gave us the life we have now. So we are also frugal and we know the pain.

When i say i hate school i dont mean i hate learning, i love learning and wish the system was better at teaching us. I hate school because they just test our memory and is a one size fits all while also expecting non human standards. But i love this perspective and agree that we should make purposes of all the ressources we have to educate ourselves!! Great video and thanks for the doze of reality that gave me motivation to continue studying no matter how hard i might think it is.

This is the wake up call that ive been needing for the past 4 years of my life, I've been so layed back on studying it resulted me in struggling with highschool, I never realized the value behind hardworking people, I've always thought they were lifeless but they know what they're doing. my finals are in 2 days and I managed to take care of not even half of the subjects because I've been sleeping it off the entire year. I've had it easy and never realized how hardworking my parents had to be to make my life easy like this. thank you for putting me back in my consciousness.

Laziness won’t get anything done. Thanks for motivating people to work hard.

[meow]

wow this made me cry like a baby. im from a similar situation yet i have gotten so lazy and addicted to social media. its so easy to forget the struggle once youre out of it. thank you for reminding me of my responsibility to my family, to use the situation they created for me to the best of its potential. thank you

I’m 25 in South Africa, I don’t have a rich background, no family wealth but we just have enough to afford basic needs. I want to be the first to break generational curse n start the wealth background, I’m on my second degree now coz my first one had no paths for growth. This video just encouraged me that it’s doable we can’t keep on crying about being born poor, instead we can push to be the change ❤️❤️ I just had to subscribe, thank you 🙏 ❤

You are the first person to talk about - good times create weak men. You earned a sub just for that.

I think there are a few things that frustrate me about this video. 1. The idea that struggle builds character. Really, no, struggle doesn't build character, resilience does. Struggle just tests character. Many break under struggle. 2. The idea that you shouldn't try to enjoy education/studying. Sure, I agree with the basic premise that avoiding pain at all costs is going to hurt you more in the long run, but it's not hurtful to motivate yourself, to find the ways to make yourself want to study, even if the moment to moment experience isn't the most dopamine rich, amazing fun. Life is about enjoying it, living it, why not learn to enjoy the monotonous parts, too? 3. The idea of personal liberation. I get it's important to work hard and improve your own life, but it's not questioned the status of farmers and laborers? These are the most essential workers on the planet, especially farmers. We would starve without them. We wouldn't have phones and homes and furniture and etc. And yet, these workers are some of the poorest. Sure, I don't expect the individual to magically reverse systemic oppression, but I think all those poor workers deserve more than just our "hard work". They deserve liberation. If I'm going to bust my ass, get a good education and work hard, use the gift of my privilege, I'm also going to work my damned hardest to undermine the system that allows anyone to go without education or food.

Admittedly, I'm already a highly motivated person, just in my own way. I think the conclusion of this video is right on the money, and a lot of the underlying ideas are great, I just don't personally vibe with all of it, and I think my perspective might add something interesting to the discussion. Ultimately, people should get off social media for sure (that shit is toxic), but the exact way they should deal with their mindset after the fact will differ depending on their own experiences.

It’s easier than ever to get ahead in life since social media fks up your whole competition.
Just fix yourself and get ahead

Girl you NAILED it
Social media RUINED my life
I’m was in my 20s had an iPhone with an Instagram and Facebook. RUINED my career b/c I am constantly comparing my life to others.
People need friends like you and people need your support so please you need to be there for others. Delete social media now.
After I get off of YouTube. I’m going to go off. My family is from farmer family to from India and I’m living in America and it’s been really touch dealing with bullying, racism, and toxicity even from your own community and from the white and other minority communities. My dad was a farmer he worked really hard and became a priest and he wanted to become a doctor but in India only wealthy people become doctors. My parents struggled a lot throughout their life and when they got the opportunity to come to America they took it. But for me surviving here is hard because it’s just living in culture shock all the time. I know it’s about working hard but it’s also about taking care of yourself. When I went to therapy and I was asked by the therapist why so many Indian people become doctors and engineers and not garbagemen. She hurled several racist comments. Not only that but I get bashed by other Indian people all the time and they are so jealous of your success. If you do well in school they are jealous they are just so mean and do anything to pull your leg down. Constantly it’s a hustle and it never ends and not you can never enjoy life. When my mom wanted to work she wore a sari and started volunteering at work and all the people looked at her really wierd. We will not belong here but we are living here so yes it’s the reality.

I failed senior year a while ago because I was in a privileged time, I was given a chance to repeat the year in 2024, I never saw this as an opportunity and planned to pass with a B or even a C, but now listening to your background, it awoke something in my brain and I know I will now try my best to take this chance as a path to actually take responsibilities. I have no idea how to thank you, the only speech that gave me back my old mindset and how I always used to be an A+ student.. thank you Amy. I looked up to you and you didn’t disappoint.
