Didn't think I would watch the whole thing, but I did.
And now I feel content. A good way to end the day; a dash of hope.
Shine on, you crazy star, shine on. |

That was actually quite uplifting and motivational. Despite his choice of posters and decor, this guy is OK. xD |

"Rotund nerd"? Way to be a dick iab. Typical human nature to point out flaws of others and overlook many positive characteristics. Guy makes sense, don't try and make fun of someone if they're grateful and happy where they are >_> |

If you pay attention, fat people always do this. They talk everything to death, make YouTube videos, join programs, etc. Anything except ACTUALLY skip a meal! |

I have to admit that I started watching this sort of thinking it would be a funny nerd rage episode, or something similar, but the guy actually makes sense, and genuinely seems to try to want to inspire people. So kudos, video-guy. Well done. :)
If you pay attention, his "hope" for a better life is also translated into action. I.e. he says he made a plan, with concrete action steps, and every day made himself take that first step and do whatever was needed.
That is pretty much the key to success for personal happiness: figuring out what you really want and need, determining how that can be achieved concretely, and putting in the effort needed (and sticking with it, even when things get difficult - and they most likely will at some point). And not losing hope.
And don't forget to help one another along the way, when you can. If only because whatever you put out in this world comes back to you in some form (so might as well try to do positive changes |

Some people want to bash on the guy for what he looks like, and the objects in his room, but they don't realize that he has more than thousands of others could ever have, and that's high hopes and optimism, because in a world of negativity that seeks to bring you down, such as some non-nice individuals commenting tonight.. He can still hold his head up high, and I can respect that, and that's a quality everyone should possess. |

What he said was exactly right. People become depressed because they don't believe it will ever get better and they're not happy with where they're at at the time. This guy could help a lot of people. |

BBQ - Dude, I've f*ked myself so many times it's a miracle I've made it this far. I'm supporting what the guy is saying & doing. My only "disagreements" are that success isn't always enough and his use of 'hope' when a more proactive word like 'strive' or 'persevere' (as Star suggests) would be better.
Like mykunter says, put hope (or wish) in one hand and doodoo in the other ... And the vid dude is emphasizing that he ACTED on his plans instead of just 'hoping'. He set out to create his own happiness (Star again).
You're right bull. There are times when drugs are the only option. But I've met so many people put on psych drugs as an easy "solution". Your posts are right on - wallowing does little good either. But for the desperate it sometimes helps to know that someone else has the same experience and that it can be survived. |
