1. Take full responsibility of your life
2. Identify your unfair advantages
3. Determine your directions.

5. Learn to ignore
6. Give yourself constant feedback

Here is a thing which I have heard which have truly impacted my life and could impact yours too!
Life is like a game of cards, everyone gets their own deck of cards. You can peek at most decks and awe in jealousy: "wow I wish I had that persons deck" or "that person is lucky to have that deck", but in reality what you should be doing is upgrading your own deck of cards. Every deck is upgradable and you should be upgrading your deck to its utmost potential

Imagine if 8 billion people watch this and everyone gets magically ahead of 99% people

Some key takeaways:
- Living an ordinary life will not lead to an extraordinary life.
- People who criticize you for trying to be exceptional are usually those who have already accepted mediocrity.
- It's important to use your unfair advantages to your benefit to get ahead of 99% of people.
- Hard work alone won't make you successful, but a combination of your unfair advantages, hard work, grit, patience, and consistency will.
- To create an extraordinary life, take full responsibility for your actions and decisions, stop blaming external factors, and focus on the things you can control.

I have a lot of respect for this woman. It's rare that I feel that way about a random person on the internet, but you've demonstrated almost every trait I value greatest in humans: grit, redefinition, vision, and relentless criticisms of oneself, coupled tightly with personal responsibility. You have and will continue to do things others only dream of.

This is so true. Nobody around me understands why I have such a huge desire to improve and why I'm going for harder jobs and things. Nobody gets it around me except my boyfriend who showed me that constant improvement is very rewarding and it actually makes me feel like I'm alive. It's not for everyone yes but some of us desire it and it's annoying how people make you seem bad or toxic for it. It can be very lonely too because you get disconnected for a lot of people. Glad to see I'm not the only one with desires like this. Thanks Ruri.

The intro about how a very successful person won’t make fun of you for trying to get started in something difficult and ambitious is a really good insight.

So sorry to hear that your uncle scammed you guys, that's awful. Well done on your accomplishments and work ethic. This is inspiring and people should listen to it. Sometimes if someone is younger we automatically dismiss it as naive optimism but just becsuse you're young doesn't mean you haven't suffered strived or struggled.

Very inspiring stuff well done you and thankyou for inspiring us too

We all start going to the gym to look better, but somewhere along the way, it changes us in a way nothing else I've experienced can. Gives new perspective, discipline, and respect.

[SpicyZucchiniVA]

So much power in what you said, even at 42 through all of my experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly have been steppingstones. Career, selfcare, relationships have all been building blocks to show me what needs improvement.

My favorite saying is " Work with the cards you have been dealt, not the ones you don't have. You can always add more cards, it's your actions and not your words that dictate where you're headed."

I work on myself every day, always striving to be better than I was yesterday.

[kiminias]

You've mentioned that now achieving your goals and hard work are called unhealthy which, i think, is true. Now our life is so fast, we can't even listen to ourselves. Anyone who is reading this comment right now, you don't need to be "ahead of 99% of people", do whatever that will make you comfortable in life and satisfied with yourself.

This video makes %100 sense. There is not a single detail that I find incomplete or unnecessary. Your story hit me hard and inspired me even more. I hope we can perform the actions that we decide to take.

[its_chris_cross]

Just listened to it while doing my evening run and it was a great motivator to start tomorrow even stronger! Big respect to you hearing about your own journey, Ruri!

[texrichardson]

I respect you alot for taking care of your family. Thank you for making this video.

[thealphaoozaru]

All the points you said in this video I totally agree with. ONLY listen to the people who you want to be like. My parents always say "You'll never become a real artist with the stuff that I draw", yet the things that I draw and how I practice is an unfair advantage that I easily took to my advantage because of my ADHD. ADHD is an unfair advantage that's easy to benefit from because you have a different mindset then everyone else, and that everyone else are the people who mostly fail. So if anyone is reading this, I hope you have a very successful life as I have the same hope for mine. Thank you so much Ruri for making this video and teaching me how to work harder than the other 99% of people. This was honestly very helpful!

[miraconturkler]

I was someone who craved success and personal growth, but I was not able to get started. As I watched your videos, I realized how obsessed I was with unnecessary things, and that all I had to do was start. I have been changing my life in the direction I want, taking small steps for some time now. Thank you very much for this. I will continue to follow your content closely, and I hope we have the opportunity to meet in the future.

I'm only 6 minutes into the video, and I'm already tearing up. Lately, I've been procrastinating a little too much, I stay in bed longer than I should, I scroll my social media more than needed and I've let laziness take over me. Thank you for making this video so far it is very motivational for me. I will get back on track!

This was a really insightful watch! Hope I can write out another PoV, while not disagreeing with your PoV: I'm not a competitive person at all. I'm an ambitious introvert and don't concern myself with social circles / peers / competing. And so I cannot relate at all to the sentiment - "How to get ahead of 99% of people". All my life I've strived only to get ahead of myself, and who I was yesterday, and the day before that. I'm a Game Developer / Game Artist, and my portfolio / art / skills had to be reborn over and over before I succeeded after my entire 20-30s. I only held myself accountable and in competition with myself, and the success fell into place naturally.

I don't look at someone else and think "I'm ahead of you", "I'm the top 1%", "I'll sleep better because you're beneath me". I mentor people who would be considered adversaries, and learn from them. Since I work in my own business / indie studio, seeing everyone succeed with me, means I succeed too. There's no incentive to 1up them. What I'm pursuing is such a niche, so people around me aren't competition. I don't think any less of someone who's a trucker, or laborer, or a farmer either. Every person plays a part that keeps the structure and fabric of civilization running around me like clockwork, so I can continue to make art.

I'd also like to say, I'd like to be in the higher ~20-30% in terms of money, never 1-5%, because I can maintain a balance of leverage, and living life a little. In the last 20 years of struggling, there's nothing I really look back on fondly. I didn't date at all, didn't maintain friendships, my family is away from me, I just worked and worked and the world revolved around me, my health, my work, my money. What I see mediocre about someone basic, they'd also find mediocre things about me. Time is finite. I suceeded in career & money, and failed at everything else. They succeed at everything else, and failed at career & money. In my 30s I want to change that, prioritize the simpler things in life, and enjoy the returns of my hard work in balance while not being complacent.

"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." - Albert Einstein.
