This is the kind of content we really need these days. I've been looking for things like this on yt because I often find it hard to finish college at the time and I wanted motivation and stories like this but all I see is people dropping out and becoming successful. But I want to finish my studies regardless.

Exactly…… I wish someone told me all this a few years ago. I fell so behind in these past few years that I’m struggling to get back on my feet again. This video certainly gave me a different perspective about how things really should be. I resonated with every single word, as I come from a similar background. I’m so ashamed of myself right now for taking my privileges for granted and for procrastinating precious years away.

WHat they don't tell you is how many drop out and regret it, or regret not going at all

As a parent raising 2 little kids, I've learned a lot from this video. Love the conversation like this between father and daughter. Thank you to your father and you. Keep up the great work!

This is like a masterclass in a crucial aspect of parenting. As a parent of 2 young children, I loved it, and found it useful. Thank you for making content like this.

I came to the US when I was 10 years old. My mother had to raise 4 children by herself after my father passed away when I was 6. We were poor and had to borrow money from relatives to get by during the few years after my father’s passing. The hostess of this channel is among the lucky ones who grew up with a “normal” circumstance with a typical lifestyle. Kids today take their good life for granted. What pushed me worked harder was having witnessed my mom and brothers who had to sacrifice to help us all survive. I wanted to help my family improve our life the moment I’m able. The only way was to work hard in school and work. This was my motivation. I hope kids today remember how lucky they are to have the opportunities they have today, while many kids don’t have that. Don’t take what you have for granted.

Hello from singapore, thanks for mentioning my country,i was born in poverty where my family income is in the bottom 10th percentile of the country. However , i read some self help books ,then scientific books on how to get more motivation. Namely, atomic habits,7 habits of highly effective people and willpower instinct, changing the environment to be more conducive for studying and living a healthier life and changing my habits to improve my willpower helped the most. I just graduated from university at the age of 31due to academic setbacks and health issues and i am proud of what i learned thus far from books

Thank you for having this conversation with your dad. Make sure to call him often and visit often. I lost my dad suddenly several months ago and I miss him all the time. You have made a video that touches hearts and improves lives. Thank you so much!

this felt like a breath of fresh air in the "life advice space" generally, not to dismiss the young ones ofc there is sth they can offer and i love that(I am young myself). HOWEVER, there is sth special about hearing an old person's pov so thank you sooo much for this opportunity 🌸 keep up the great work Amy 🍃🤗

Really thank you amy and uncle for sharing your story with us.

This video made me so emotional because I lost my father two years ago and that made me feel so alone. I will never be able to have this kind of conversation with my dad again so I feel like this really filled a hole for me. Therefore, I am so grateful to have listened to life from your parents perspective, it makes me feel thankful to have had the time with my dad and to appreciate the parent that I do still have with me.

I’m 31 year-old international studnet doing my PhD in the US. It’s so good to listen to you both reflecting on your experiences and journeys. It’s fun seeing how you kind of share similar perspectives despite the age difference. I was feeling a bit low but I’m glad I spent my time watching something good and inspiring! Thank you both! 🌸🤗

I love this kind of content! It would be really great if you could do livestreams to be able to have conversations like this with your viewers

You have a Subscriber in Ethiopia, your contents are so genuine and practical to apply. I look forward to your videos, you two are so adorable giving this important advice, thank you!

This video is excellent!! Your dad has such great wisdom. The stories and wisdom he shared are so encouraging, inspiring, and helpful. I hope he will want to be a guest on your channel more often! Thank you for sharing him with everyone who watches your channel!

This is so wonderful and the information is so helpful.

It’s so true that it got nothing to do with your background, it’s more important that you try ur best. Love your video

Wow. Its truly wholesome and sweet seeing a hardworking elder talk about his experiences and giving priceless advice. Many thanks to Amy for sharing her insights as well. This was such a wholesome and insightful video!

listened to this while on the treadmill. so inspiring, so many nuggets of wisdom here. i especially love the part about being open to other people and just doing a little "extra" it doesn't take much to be above average. i also love the emphasis on the importance of education and just improving yourself daily. very very inspiring video. this kind of wisdom is learned through years of experience. thank you for sharing.

Goated episode. Your dad is a legend! Those who succeed out of necessity inspire greatness out of people like me.

LOVED this conversation. Very wholesome and you two were rallying thoughts and elevating ideas. Clear to see where you acquired your level-headedness/ intellect from! Nice video~

I’ve got goosebumps form the first second, very inspiring ❤

Wow, so much wisdom in a single hour! Incredible, sweet, heart-warming and eye-opening! 🌸 I’ll imbibe all of this wisdom in my life and my personality and strive to be a better student and a better human overall. 🌷✨ This is by far THE BEST video I’ve ever watched on any social media platform. ✨Thanks a ton Amy for bringing uncle to the podcast. 🤗 Lots of love from India♥️♥️

This was so useful! Your dad is amazing, this was equivalent to reading a self development book. Even though I'm 25, I know this is still applicable for my life and I will rewatch this for my future children's sake🧡 P.S You and your sister were raised right!

I really liked this video because when my dad told me one da how much and how hard he had to work for everything i felt exactly like you said, the need to push myself too. ❤

Love from Botswana 🇧🇼❤

Love your content it’s so encouraging but not in an influencer* way just feels like I’m sitting down with an admirable new friend that wants to have an encouraging conversation ❤

I agree that inner circle competition is not healthy. For example in Silicon Valley, so many smart engineers in headcount. I would rather to have one more sincere friend than having one more enemy. By winning one or a few persons, it doesn’t change the numerator at all.

I am struggling. Thank you for this.

Your content highlights issues that aren’t often discussed in society. My grandpa had a similar experience, he used to say he was fortunate to have the chance to earn and save enough to raise and educate his kids. Thanks to his efforts, I have the privilege of studying in the US. Understanding our family origins and valuing their efforts is the best motivation to work hard.

the way her dad said hiii so cute ❣

My life journey was very similar to your cousin. But I recently got stuck in my position and really want to explore my life abroad. It’s definitely not easy to migrate at my thirties, so I used to worry a lot.Even the thought of putting my whole effort into polishing my English kind of scared me away because i failed my IELTS several times and was constantly concerned about the difficulties of living in a foreign country. But your video eased my anxiety and fears. Do a bit of extra work, change the environment and find my people. Do my best consistently from today onwards.❤❤❤

Honestly I love Amy and her videos, they make me realise so many things, and to everyone reading this u got it!❤ only thing that I hate about watching Amys videos is that I always forget the tips and have to go and look at them again but I mean when I think abt it that’s also how I learn in school just listening but not taking anything in, or having to listen in school or a video and then having to go back on it mostlikely not the whole thing but the most important parts and then I remember like ohhh this was that and yeah idk why I wrote this but if u read t/is thank you I hope the best for you❤

Hiii! ♥️ Much love - happy you're learning a lot! I've read some comments from viewers who say they take notes so that will help :) I think it's important to know, like you said, valuable things are meant to be consumed multiple times! I've reread some of my favorite self-development books!

look who grew so much between the 2 videos GO GIRLLLL

Thank you for posting this, I really needed this. Jesus loves you all!

Hi Amy, I just wanted to tell you that after years of struggling (bc I had personal and family problems that hold me back) I finally was able to have an academic comeback! I took a 29/30 in Physics 1 at Physics University (I am Italian haha) and that's such a high grade in a University like that (not everyone can achieve that, most don't even try!). And I wanted to tell you that you helped me SO MUCH achieve this result. You are an actual role model for me. THANK OU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I wish your dad was mine 😞Hi Wamy (sorry I don't know if this is your correct name), thank you so much for dropping so much real value in this video. I'm not so lucky like you, my father is someone I don't even want to see as a man. He is weak, likes to drink, always criticizes and judges everything while he is always cowardly and never dares to try anything. My mother is better, the main economic pillar but my mother is also a typical Asian parent who only wants her children to be safe and stable. And because my mother always indulges her husband like that, I am very depressed. I feel everything you shared, I always reminded myself of it during my 18-22 years. However... Now that I'm 28 years old, 2 years away from reaching the 30 mark. I feel extremely disappointed. There is one thing in the video you shared, I feel lucky for you, because you inherited the "mental strong & resilient" flowing in your veins because your parents are those types of people. Somehow, I believe that I have this terrible characteristic of my parents in my blood. Even though I am very ambitious, have goals, always in top 1 in 12 years of high school and have access to many opportunities thanks to digital marketing, I do not have the ability to try or persevere to the end for anything. I easily feel unmotivated, I feel very bad and want to die. I want to see myself in this life trying to the end, whether rich or not, at least I know what I can do and try my best. Thank you very much! If possible, please share something with me! P/s: i always dream of having a dad like yours

I'm 24 and jobless went through a lot since covid and even before that. Finally feel like I can go back into the world but I don't have any experience. I don't want to settle for a boring job either I have no idea what to do it feels like it's too late for anything. Nobody will want to hire me with no experience or decent qualifications for a decent job and I can't even think of what i'd consider a decent job.

very wholesome 🤗

Wise man. ❤️

Loved listening and watching every minute of this podcast. While watching this episode some thoughts came into my mind and I would love to share them with you. I am pretty sure there are lots of people watching your content and loving your energy and authenticity like me and the numbers are increasing day by day. What many influencer do is make reels from their long form content to attract viewers but I would definietly not love watching you do the same. The viewers from social media who usually do not watch long form contents are not worth you losing your authenticity and deriving from your long form path just to get few more followers. So it's my opinion that you shouldn't re-purpose your podcast to get attention on other social media platforms. Just my unfiltered thought. You are allowed to do whatever you want queen. I am your lifetime follower anyway!

I'm also the child of an immigrant, and also did math competitions in middle school. I remember being frustrated about being dumb, because no matter what, I'd always come third behind my friends, and I thought it was just an IQ diff. Then I got older and found out my one friend had a scientist father helping her, and the other had their older brother tutoring them, who had gone through math competitions also. My parents came from villages too, but stopped being able to help me after 5th grade. I used to beat myself up when I was younger for not being smart enough, thinking I just wasn't working hard enough but now I realize that even though we're both childs of immigrants, I'm closer to playing your dad's generational role than your generational role. No one in my family knew anything about college admissions, or competition, learning hard subjects, or routines. Anyways it didn't end up really mattering thankfully, I got a fancy tech job even though I went to a mediocre school, somewhat like your father. Only now did I connect that comparing myself to first generation immigrants instead of their children is a more apt comparison for me, I never thought of that before. Thanks

Thank you!

That was really beautiful
