Metatron METATRON/Raffaello! ti scrivo in italiano perchè guess what, I'm italian too. Io non posso dire di avere avuto grandi esperienze di vita (sai che lunga vita 17 anni...) ma continuano a stupirmi le coincidenze che sto trovando. Tu hai studiato lingue, sei italiano, sei appassionato (e soprattutto ESPERTO) di tutto il mondo delle arti marziali storiche giapponesi e europee e, come hai detto in questo video, compi gli anni il 4 Giugno. Io sto studiando lingue al liceo, sono italiano, mi piacciono spade e armi medievali (sia europee che giapponesi, even if I'm a little bit more into the europeans) e compio gli anni il 3 Giugno (non è il 4 ma siamo li). È veramente simpatico il fatto di trovare uno youtuber veramente bravo, competente nei contenuti che porta e italiano! continua così!

Dear Raph, My name is Noor, I'm an Astrophysicist at UCSD in America and I'm only about half a decade younger than u. I'm a new viewer to your channel, but in just a few short months i think i've watched ALL of your videos up to date. I love the way you present the evidence for your statements regarding your debunking videos or just informational series. What you're selling isn't just information regarding history , its YOU who makes your series excellent , Your charisma , and your passion for your subject. If you ever need some physics verification for physical situations, like a certain density of steel or bronze colliding with some other metals or materials, Or really Anything to do with physics or the natural world let me know and In your future videos You can quote data from an actual Scientist to help Silence some of the outrageous comments against your videos. Feel free to send me an email. Keep up the good work Raph, -Noor

My belief is; your early life having your father and mother at home with you, their love and attention gave you a foundation of confidence and self worth that afforded you the ability to overcome your illness in your teens and succeed to the Mensch you have become. Metatron, thank you for all you do. You are truly an exceptional human being on this beautiful planet. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep spreading your wings, Metatron.

+Metatron If you want a testament to how well you learned English in England... It took me 2 months to figure out you are in fact born Italian :P Not because I didn't look it up, but because your voice, and the way you speak has a definite British undercurrent. The only time you can really hear the Italian seep back in is when you're excited and speak fast, but when you speak at a normal tempo, It actually sounds quite distinctly British.

Has to be the most inspirational floating head I've ever seen.

Thank you Raphaelo, we always can learn something from others lives. Had a similar life (though still 19), and could relate to many of your struggles and happiness. My outmost respect.

I really enjoy your authenticity, not many KZreadrs nowadays are that way. You rock!

You truly are a Renaissance Man, through and through! You are quite an interesting man.

I'm really astonished that I've not crossed over this video before. I can only show only my deepest respect for what you have done. As others said, you are a true renaissance man. And I'm looking forward to what's more to come! I don't think you are on the end of your journey yet. I do say this because I'm in my late forties now (so much for the young audience...) and what I' ve learned, changed and revisited in my life so far - and I'm not on the end of my (learning) journes yet too. Maybe one of the best videos I ever watched!

Apparently the Italian renaissance isn't quite over yet. Man, I feel lazy now. ; )

The pain thing is true. I’m terminally ill and can attest to the fact eventually you sort of forget that there’s pain. But I think bearing it does increase fatigue.

Ahh, che bello essere italiano e capire 32 minuti e 53 secondi di video in inglese. Bravo Metatron!

My life has been good. Especially my childhood. Now that I'm an adult though I'm terrified of the future. I just know I'm going to be homeless and jobless before I'm 30. I try not to be depressed.

I lost my job because my boss didn't like my commuting back and forth from university. I'm in the last year of university but I haven't the foggiest what I'm going to do next. I have searched for jobs, but nowhere wants me. It's really easy to get bogged down with worrying about the future. Doesn't help that I have some pretty bad anxiety and depression. You're not alone.

Thank you, Mr. Urbani , for spreading your wings and sharing a glimpse into your life which, incredibly enough, is strangely similar to mine, including a very serious disease in my teenage years, me having no friends and being shy at the same age as you, and working as a language teacher and translator (in my case it's English, Spanish and Japanese). Edit: I have also trained in various Martial Arts and travelled the world (I actually met my wife in one of my travels). Even though I don't know you in person, this video has shown me that no matter how difficult your life is or how lonely you feel, there is always someone in some part of the world having experiences similar to yours, and that is both comforting and inspiring. This seemingly "simple" video is not only telling your story, it is also a documented fact on how wonderful and strange life is, and how we are all connected. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and you have my eternal respect. A huge hug from a fellow student of life. Your name is Rafaello Urbani from Italy, my name is Malcolm Sohm from Argentina. Thank you and continue to spread your wings, may the fire in your soul always burn bright.

Every video I watch of you just adds more to how impressed I am with you. You’re still so young yet have lived a fuller life than 99% of your viewers.

Thanks for all the work you put into this channel. You really are a great role model.

This video was pretty inspiring,thank you Raphael!I discovered your channel a month ago and i fell in love with the content here.Keep making videos friend!

Wow, this really did inspire me. Keep up the great work man

Thank you for always being upbeat. I always enjoy your videos, and I can tell how much work you place into making each video to the best of your ability. Keep pushing forward in your journey!

I want to have a duel with you in a dark and rainy night. Let's see who wins, The Spanish Crusader or The Italian sword-lover. Edit: dude, I found your channel almost a year ago, but never commented. I'm sorry for your fucked up childhood and bad moments, keep it up, you're the greatest noble one here.

Your story is impressive, thank you for opening up and sharing this to everyone.

The humbleness in your heart is inspiring, Thank you for sharing your story.

Many many thanks for this video. I'm still trying to figure out many things in my life and this has been very informative and also interesting. Keep up the good work

I stumbled over your channel just a few weeks ago. Thanks so much sharing not only your linguistical and historical knowledge but also your personal life history and wisdom drawn from your life experience. Your story encouraged me a lot,

your story was moving, and very inspirational to me! thank you for sharing it with me, and its funny I hear it now because where I'm at, I needed to hear your story. again thank you for the content, and keep it up! thanks for being a light.

Thank you very much for this. It honestly inspired me. Keep being awesome Metatron! :)

I really enjoyed hearing your story, thank you for sharing it! You're an inspiration indeed :) I'm a university student with a passion for languages and history (and some other stuff) and I love watching your videos because they're educational and encourage gaining knowledge on various topics which is truly an important message. Keep up the good work! ;) I'm glad there are such great guys like you on KZread.

You are an incredible person,and this video and its/your message was truly inspiring! Thank you ,keep spreading your wings

You and your videos are amazing man!!, keep it up!

It was amazing to hear how Life has it's ups and downs for every person. And i respect your courage and effort to the place where you're now.

Hey man, thank you for sharing your story. I like your attitude towards working hard and being disciplined. There are so many people out there who just think everything's going to fall into their laps and they don't have to put effort in their dreams and that really annoys me, so big props to you!

I'm glad I found your channel some 2 years ago now. I remember when you had about 1000 or less subscriptions. I just wanted to thank you for all you've done mate. keep at it mate! :)

This was an extremely educational video; learning about others tends to effect learning of the self. I have to say I commend your response to pain being discipline. What an excellent example.

I like you from day to day more and more! Your story is AMAZING and I'm happy that you have shared it with us. You are definitely one of the strongest people I know. RESPECT!!!

You're such an inspiration! So versatile and daring

Your channels really growing now,it's great to see the hard work you've obviously put in for all of this time pay off.

This video made my whole year, thank you for everything, Raffaello.

You inspire me so much!!!Thank you so much for being so open,honest and humble.You are a hero!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘

I appreciate that you shared your story and I thank you for your positive attitude and message. :)

Very inspiring, thanks for opening up about your life. Full respect to you

So I've watched the whole video now. You are such a great person and words can't describe what inspiration you are for me. Thank you for making videos for us! :)

Raff, its been a pleasure to get to know you over these last few months. Keep inspiring and keep up the good work! ;]

you are an awesome person as far as i know, thank you for the great content and everything, greetings from Brazil.And i have to say,thank you for the motivation!

Thank you for your story! It's very inspiring. :)

Great video man, I am glad you made it. I think it hit the nail in the head as I was already wondering for some time what kind of background you had and what kind of person you were outside of the videos. I think it's interesting how I can relate to your experiences. Keep up the good work!

Thanks very much for sharing this with us Raff hope you continue to reach for the stars and thank you for giving me courage recently to reach for mine!

I have just recently started watching your channel. I am very impressed with your teaching as you explain everything so well to 'lay' people like me without any condescension. Also your transparency concerning yourself with sharing your life and background. I feel like you are a friend. Your knowledge is amazing! And your courtesy and respect for all others! Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!

I just discovered you about a month ago and I'm glad I did; you're a very interesting individual with a lot of knowledge and stories to share. You're also a great role model and I'm jealous that you've lived in Japan.

It's really cool to hear more about you. Great story, by the way. Thank you for sharing it.

Awesome video! I really like your channel, I'm an English teacher from Brazil and I'd really like to learn Japanese too, I really love the culture! At first I was kind of scared, but hearing your life story really helped me and gave me inspiration to start! Thank you for your videos!

Thanks for sharing this. You totally didn't have to but it taught me a lot of things about you and life in general.

Truly, your videos inspire me to find my passion and do something impactful with my life.

I just want to say thank you for being on KZread and making these videos.

Great video! I must say, you have a very interesting story and after discovering your channel a few days ago, it has quickly become my favorite channel. I share many of the same interests, but I have not pursued them nearly as much as you have. I'm starting to think that being able to completely immerse myself in things like the martial arts, the samurai and ancient civilizations might be just what I need. As kids, we're able to lose ourselves in our imaginations. But for some reason, it's harder when a person gets older. If anything, your videos have reminded me that it is possible to immerse oneself in completely different worlds while still carrying on with daily life. Thank you for this great channel!

I liked this video a lot, as well as many of your content here on KZread. I really appreciate your openess and sincerity to tell so much about yourself in front of an audience. I think you have found your passion to tell and to educate people via your videos about a lot of different subjects and I strongly suggest to do what you always have done in your life: keep going and eventually you'll prevail. I really like you, not just for your content but also that you are a fantastic guy! :D

What a great telling of your life, Metatron! Much respect. You resonate with courage, and that resonates with us :)

Thanks for share this with us Raff, we really appreciate you and what you do on youtube :)

Thank you for sharing you story Raff!

Loved the video, I find listening to other people's life stories fascinating, goes to show you can never tell someone's background :)

Wow I have learn a lot from you in just 32 minutes and you have given me the hope i need to become a engineer thank you. Love your videos keep it up .👍🏻

What an amazing journey you had. You are a great person with a lot of interesting things to share. Congratulation on your many achievements and your channel.

Amazing story, Raffaello. I think the fact that you have been through so much good and bad, and experienced so much explains why you are such a great KZreadr and person. I love hearing your thoughts on things. It sounds as though you, like me, love just absorbing knowledge and learning from it. I wonder if because you went through so much with your illness in your teenage years that it made you have so much empathy and humility, especially towards others. When I was younger I had an illness that could have killed me, but i was only sick for 6 months before recovering and i think this has shaped me to think about others and respect the feelings of others, as well as instilling in me a work ethic of just getting things done. Keep up the good work and I love hearing about everything that you have an opinion on.

Amazing story man, thanks for the video!

Sorry to hear about those tough years you had while being a teenager, but I'm glad you have come to the place where you are today. Wish ya all the best from Austria!

Hi Metatron! Thanks, I found this video very inspiring and in some ways relatable. I currently have an illness that's been giving me a lot of pain, nausea, and exhaustion every day. Video games have kind of been my escape, a way to get the legs to run on that I don't have in real life, and now I've gotten this fascination with video game design and development. So, I've been pushing through as best I can. I finally finished university, albeit a little late, and now I'm studying animation along with some java and python for programming. I like to hear stories like yours because it helps encourage me to not give up, especially on the really bad days with my illness. Since you managed to make it through, then I will too! Thank you!

So, pretty intense life, uh? Really interesting too. Thank you for sharing a lil bit of it with us. And wish you the best!

I've watched some of your videos... I've aways known you were around youtube with medieval content and alikes But after this videos i subscribed You are really inspiring. You really seem like a good guy

You are very likeable Raf, I'm sure you know that, this video made it even clearer. All the best to you, and please keep doing what you're doing, great stuff

Thank you for the motivation!

I actually enjoyed watching the whole video, despite the dark parts. As you said, we all live through such things, and they make us who we are. You DID mention hating translation work, but I think it depends a lot on the company you work for, whether you feel that you're being compensated fairly. A lot of the companies don't pay translators properly for their time, which can be massively demotivating... Thanks for another great video, Raph. You don't really need that much editing, and it was kind of cool with the clothes and background in the same colour. Put more focus on your face, and what was coming out of your mouth and eyes. ;-)

You've inspired me to start learning languages, I've never realized how far I could get until you showed me how all you need is patience and interest.

Hello man, i just saw this video and i must say i really respect you. You re a warrior, u never ever surrender to other expectations, opinions and faith. U made your own faith. I truly understand what it takes. Keep going bro, respect!

This is like hearing a parallel story of my own life as far as the enduring physical pain and using my love of armour / history /weapons as an escape from the hell that is my body. This is so inspiring to me, thank you for sharing your story.

Honestly, I love all your "education" videos I suppose you could call them, but this was a very important and opening video and I have to say well done on being so open at the beginning! Keep up the good work my friend!

Great video Raffaelo, you are an inspiring person and I commend your discipline, hard work and dedication on all the videos that you make. Stammi bene caro.

Thank you for being brave enough to share your story.:-) I wish you all the best my friend

I hope one day I can be as good at languages as you. I am having a lot of trouble in German 3 right now and you have given me a lot of motivation. Thank you for being the best youtuber!

Pain sucks, but it's a strange situation when we get used to it... We learn to handle and endure it. It's a strange realization once you get there, that it's... OK... Even though we know it shouldn't be like that.

Raphael (Metatron) I think you have been one the the most inspirational people that I have ever listened to. your so grateful for what you have been given and even looked at years of pain a learning time, that takes a lot of wisdom. thank you, I have been learning Thai for over half a year and I kind of didn't think I could follow it through, but now I think I have enough inspiration to continue learning it. thank you very much

Thank you for sharing your experiences

wow! that was a very inspiring one! and the expression you have when you talk about some things (eg about your secondary school friend) is so genuine!! grazie!! :) (even if, as a doctor, i can't stop wondering which sort of illness was It that tormented you so much..)

A great and honest video. Many thanks Metatron. Have always tried my best to look at the best in life, and to recognize that the good and bad are all part of that bigger picture. In short, it's a great journey.

Meteatron you are trully the best youtuber ever and certainly my favorite KZreadr and thank you for all your hard work. I dont know what the world would be like without you.

I've been watching this channel for maybe 2 days and it's kinda helping me stay somewhat sane. Too much stress. The material is entertaining and educational. The presenter is cool. Topics are interesting to me. Great 👍

one of the best motivation videos I´ve ever watched ;-).....I bow to that dedication. Thanx!

Awesome video! I don´t usually comment but, during my teen years i did do kyokushinkai karate for about 7 years, it is very inspiring how you can contact a culture through a fighting style and a set of moral principles. It was hard on the shinbones sometimes but it was worth it. Your channel has inspired me on several occasions and i wish you well. Un Saludo desde España.

Metatron you are genuinely one of my FAVOURITE youtubers! Keep up your amazing videos

Very good video. You make a good point about the fact that a languages degree doesn't just teach you to speak another language - it also gives you an excellent grounding in writing about history, geography and comparative cultures, among other things. This is so true and also a good reason why languages students tend to be very well-rounded individuals in the academic sense.

I just love to watch your videos! You are brilliant and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you for sharing this, I love your channel and I admire your courage to make such a personal video. Thanks ~A

I love how you can physically hear and see the emotion you put into your story! and on the off note, I'd say your English is quite near perfect.

I love your videos you always get my spirits up thank
