What do i need to reach that goal? Do i really want that? why? who do i want by my side? and all other stuff that make me build and work a better version of myself, or at least, a version that i will be proud of. Thanks m8

Um NO! being born wealthy as in the first one is CLEARLY the best. The one where, she had substance abuse and died at 55 is OBVIOUSLY the worst. Get REAL🙄!! 🙄😤👎.

I was brought up being told that I was exceptionally smart, "smarter than everyone else." I had no trouble grasping math, spelling, etc., and at some point around 4th grade, I began shirking my homework because I started to realize I could pass my classes by getting good test scores, often without studying, just making logical guesses at the questions. I was developing an intellectual superiority complex. At first the homework was easy but boring, but as time went on, as I grew increasingly disinterested in the subject matter, it came to the point where I was failing my classes to an extent that no amount of test-taking skills could solve, and I was so far behind that half the time I couldn't figure out the homework even if I mustered up the motivation to do it. Algebra and Trigonometry elude me to this day. Compiling that with a pot-smoking habit since I was 15, I'm 30 now, and I'm the dumbest person I know. I thought myself so smart I didn't have to try, and in that complacency I grew stupid. A Mark Twain quote comes to mind, "The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read." It takes an absurdly long time to compose my thoughts, as I'm constantly adrift in foggy-headedness. It took about two hours to put this comment together. I'm a slow thinker. I went to college for one year and failed almost all my classes. I've been unemployed for the last 16 months. I have no skills and I doubt my ability to work. I'm in poor health. I have several addictions which seem hopeless to overcome. I'm perpetually miserable. I just want to find love but I'm emotionally stunted, flat broke and patently undateable. My only saving grace is that I've managed so far to avoid siding with a political party, although that's slightly more of a moral choice than an intelligent one. Sorry for the rambling, long-winded, relatively irrelevant comment. Its purpose is to demonstrate a counterpoint to the story of the Amara who succeeds despite having learning disabilities, by presenting my failure in light of apparent advantages. A funny thing I noticed recently: spelling every word correctly never meant I was smart as much as it meant that I'm anal retentive. Well, if anyone reads this, cheers. I hope the timeline of your universe turns out all right in the end.

Well now I'm nearly forty and despite some social improvements I've made over the years (I was UNBELIEVABLY shy until my mid twenties), I'm in debt, have no degree or specialized high-paying skills, still don't know what the hell to do with my life, and feel a crushing sense of regret and hopelessness.

The thing is we truly don't knw anything, as at any point anything can happen.. so the best thing is To accept it and reflect on it on why this occurred and to grow to from that experience. As constantly we are growing... For example let me give u an situation of my life.. Yesterday i had gone to buy some noodles and chips with my younger brother , i wanted to smoke some cigarettes so i told him to leave me in a shop and he would go and buy those items i gave him the money.. when he returned he didn't stop infront of me and continued riding forward i thought to call to him as i had seen him before he even reached near me but something stopped me.. and i couldn't call , after some time he returned when i asked him about it he said that dad had come to purchase something and he had seen him so if he had stayed infront me i would have also gotten caught.. so when he sped dad went after him. Then he stopped and dad scolded him why he was out in this covid situation.. when i heard this i thought of my inability to call my brothers name.. and thought was it instinct that sensed something problematic or was it god. Now when we reached home i told him to tell the family i had gone out for breakfast and i met u when returning and u picked me up there.. but there was lot of scolding . Then a thought came to me what if i had bought some sweets for my grandparents i could have said i was gone for that.. and not hear any scoldings or maybe i would have.. but u see something learned yesterday was elements and variables. In the scenario which happened Had four elements me, my brother, chips and noodles, my dad a scenario played out where i was getting scolding..

This is by far the most moving channel on KZread. You should offer customizable children's books in these formats. Being able to show your kids around the age of ten the control they have over their lives would be powerful

Nature wants us to struggle. It makes us happy when we overcome it. Makes us stronger, healthier

"life is a game of arbitrary odds Whatever success we have or don't Whatever person we become or don't The reasons for everything are concealed within the odds"

Well sometimes our advantages are actual advantages and our disadvantages were actual disadvantages, like in the soccer Amara or bartender Amara universes. I needed to stop lying to myself that some of the things that happened in my life were really “blessings-in-disguise,” because a lot of what I’ve been through has torn me down and made me weaker.

As i always say when people ask me for advice; If you can't innovate, renovate. If you don't like speaking, listen. If you can't be the best at the hardest things, be the best at the easiest. If you can't get somewhere, get anywhere. If you can't be the first, be the next. If you can't be liked by everyone, be liked by the few who love you. And always remember that for every stone you throw at the water, your island gets smaller. And always remember that pain teaches you how to love pleasure, and pleasure teaches you the importance of pain.

I don't like this quote, and I'll explain why I feel this way. If strength means power: was every tyrant throughout history not strong? The Nazis were strong men who created bad times. There have also been strong men who created good times; after all, the soldiers who fought against the Nazis were also strong men. This kind of strength doesn't specifically create good or bad times; it can do both. If strength refers to virtue and/or mental/emotional resilience, the question becomes more interesting. We know that things such as trauma, poverty, etc. cause higher crime rates and increased mental illness. So looking at this, we could say that bad times create weak men. HOWEVER, there is also data that shows that the extremely rich are more disconnected from conventional morality. So looking at this, it could be said that good times create weak men. I suppose an explanation of why I dislike this quote is because it gives a very black and white view of a complicated, fluid set of causes, conditions and effects that behave completely differently with every single situation. Life is messy, and you really never know when or how strength or weakness will arise.

Me: sees new video notification from Pursuit of Wonder MY brain: Ah, shit... Here we go again.

I've thought about many worlds since I was old enough to grasp the concept. (As much as I can) I hadn't even heard of until 10 years ago. So I didn't have a name for it for 20 years. I always had a very intense urge to stop in the middle of something and do something random, and sometimes dangerous, and even illegal. Most times I didn't. But some of the most "real" experiences I've had, have been those choices where I actually did commit to following intuition. So be random. You may just remember it forever, good or bad. My 2 cents.

Thank you for this video. For all videos you've made. I'm watching you for a long time and they helped me in the darkest times. I'm making a video game about fighting inner deamons, about life, choices we make and about not giving up. Since my childhood I've been throught a lot. Even when it started to be better and I've started my project my whole world has crumbled due to some events. I felt like I don't want to wake up next day. This was something worse than depression, the thing I've struggling with in the past. I'm using a quote in my game "As long as you're alive there's still a spark of hope." And there is one. I knew that the rainy days will be over and thanks to the things that happened to me I will be able to help others. I will be able to achieve what I want. I will be able to prove others wrong. It was a long ride but I was able to continue the development of my game. And now we started a Kickstarter campaign and succeeded in first few days. I can't agree more that disadvantages can become advantages. It's up to use if we strive and fight or give up. Thank you for your work. You help a lot of channels. In my Oddventure I add references to my inspirations. And I will use "Pursuit of Wonder" somewhere, for sure. :) Have a good day everyone!

I needed a video like this right now in my life. The world really does work in mysterious ways.

Saying it's a privilege to be alive opens up a whole can of worms. Why do most people plainly ignore the moral argument that we aren't given a choice when we are conceived and consequently birthed? It's not like my "soul" signed a contract before I was birthed into this world. It's not like I was given a list of all suffering and privilege and joy and sorrow and etc. and reconsidered ALL my options before I hit the "yes" button on the conception device! Not saying I disagree with the notion of "small chance", but there are simply more things to consider...

Lol. All I thought Of was Church and his Terrible Aim, But he hits that One Lucky Ricochet shot and he gets so excited. "Dude DID YOU SEE THAT, I Hit Him!" Church exclaims. "It Only Counts If You Call It!" Cries Washington as he runs after him. Church replies "Aw! That's bullshit dude." Hitting something by accident and then claiming to have meant to do that isn't wise, Its foolish.

One of my favorite movies "Run Lola Run" is based on the same concept that one simple act or accident can change your life in an instant. It has 5 different outcomes based on things that happen to Lola while she is trying to save her boyfriend which takes place in a 24 hr period. It really hits home about simple things can have a major impact on your lives either positive or negative. It's a scream of a movie and has won a number of awards.

Kind of confirms the message behind situational vs dispositional attribution bias. It's not because of your character (disposition) that you are - for example - rich, it's because of the situations in your life. The odds choose situations for you, you act and live according to the situation.

I've been struggling with the notion that as my life has gotten easier from all the hard work paying off I'm becoming complacent. Gotta slap myself, be thankful, and keep hustling.

Growth is demanded by discomfort. Discomfort is a requirement for growth. Without worry, why do anything? Boredom, pain, envy, sadness, fear, these are motivators. You don't need to glorify suffering to understand that the greatest potential for growth comes from escaping discomfort. People who lead impactful lives do so, because they see living as an active process and outcomes as a deliberate goal they work to achieve. People who see life passively, exist in comfort or discomfort, and eventually age and die stagnant individuals. This story isn't a glorification of suffering it's a reminder that you can't choose the life you're given, but you CAN choose to make the most of it, and that through effort you can rise above the expectations to choose a future you find favorable. A good "life" is "lived" well. It's easy to say you could have had an easier life and perhaps you could or can, but why exactly would you want it, especially if you don't work for it? I hope you are actively living your life and have a Merry Christmas.

Amara: Eternal Fitting name for the central protagonists

I am Amara. When I was a kid the teachers wouldn't stop trying to give me a diagnosis. Noone believed I would get into high school, they also did their utmost to prevent it from happening. I ended up graduating from university with a master in Electrical Engineering. Adversity gave me the drive to prove myself. So here's a real life example of the advantage of disadvantage.

I was born poor. Always the smartest and hardest working in every class. I’ve done more with less than my peers. Everyone in my private expensive prestigious college was well off. Many dropped out the first and second semesters. Others during the second year. I went on to graduate. Ten years later those rich kids almost all have great jobs, huge homes paid for, and a secure future. I am doing decent, but would rather have been a rich kid.

Such a beautiful video. I'm deeply thankful to the people who put efforts in the making of it 👍🏻.

As someone born with a serious learning disorder along with several physical disabilities this video moved me to tears. It was assumed I’d be living off disability, but now I’ve nearly finished my bachelors degree and hope to pursue a job in a law firm. People believing I’m incapable of achieving something definitely has been one of the things that’s motivated me to do well. Thank you for this video.

honestly man your content really gets to me, consistently makes me feel some hard emotions. great stuff.

Disadvantage is NOT advantage, that's why it's called disadvantage. Valorising disadvantage like this justifies its existence when really we should be trying to REDUCE inequality. Amara didn't succeed BECAUSE of her disadvantage, she succeeded in SPITE of it. The world was not doing her a favour by pushing her down and she shouldn't have to endure the trauma to get anywhere in life.

Man I love this channel way too much. You are awesome! Thank you for these

You have such a way of bringing the viewer along with the story, which ends with inevitably philosophising with the narrator. thank you for what felt like a very personal video!

I often contemplate the fact that there are numerous events and conditions in my early life that I probably could have been much, much better off if they hadn't happened. But if I hadn't experienced those struggles, those traumas, those obstacles, then a whole new set of circumstances would have arisen and I would have missed out on the opportunities and people I value most in this life. Would I have been just as happy, or happier, on one of these alternate timelines where I don't carry these particular lifelong scars? Possibly; probably. But I feel like if I were given an opportunity to go back in time and change things -- divert my life path to something 'better' -- that I would be extremely hesitant to give up the good things I have here.
