Tell us about a project/activity you feel passionate about.
I don’t believe in motivation. It’s volatile. It is my firm belief that if you want to change the world, you have to be truly driven to do it. You have to want it so bad, that even when you don’t feel like working at it, you’ll do it anyway. I believe in building habits—-positive habits that, when persistently worked at, build towards your goals until you eventually reach them. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I had been in the darkest place I’d ever been. My mother had just left for Vietnam a month prior and was going to stay there for two more. I was alone. I began to struggle in school. I started losing sleep and wondering what I’d do with myself. While in that dark place, I found my flame. It was exacerbated by the desire to help those who were also lost and broken. Thinking about how I could help those who were stuck at home as well, I realized that I could share my drive online. I would lead by example by showing others just how much one person can accomplish when they are truly driven to do it. I tested my resolve and started producing online content where I’d study every day for 12 hours. It was a big risk. I’d have to invest a lot of money and time into something unprecedented. I was ready, however, and started on March 20, 2020. It’s now March 20, 2021. After over 300 live streams, I studied 2,880 hours and my flame is stronger than the day I started. I built a following of hard workers whose flame was ignited by mine.

James, don't listen to the critics...As someone in a competitive educational program, I know how much hard work studying takes, and the workload can be incredible. You have no idea how much you have impacted the lives of people struggling with conditions like ADHD...you have changed the way I study, and have helped me improve my grades substantially. Please don't give into the hate...if you have critics, it means you're doing something RIGHT...Stay positive, and keep shining your beautiful light! God bless!

You’re very mature for your age. Keep it up and the success will come to you in no time if it hasn’t already.

This was my 5th day of sticking to your schedule so far! Switching to a 4am-8pm schedule is really hard, having done this for 5 days I'm getting tired around noon now. Not giving up though!
Looking forward to following along your old videos this weekend! 😅

[trunghvbk]

My timezone is different but I replayed when I'm working, it's fun when having someone who works next.
