00:00:38.600Imagine that feeling in life. Imagine that feeling of success, but doing it in real life, leveling up your bank account, your body, your achievements, your respect.
00:00:47.700Imagine all that same feeling that you get virtually doing that in the real world. How happy would you really be?
00:00:53.420I don't know, bro. It's never happened, so how can I imagine it, you know?
00:00:56.920Imagine, based on the feeling you get in the game. The game is just a simulation of what happens in real life. It's simulated warfare. Imagine simulated life.
00:01:05.280If they're so connected, isn't me being successful in life just playing the game?
00:01:11.840Yeah, but it's way better than just this little screen in front of your face. It's everything that's around you.
00:01:16.540Your happiness comes from a tiny little box, a rectangle in front of your face in a room, and it's dependent on electricity and your mom's Wi-Fi.
00:01:24.420Yeah, I mean, I guess you're right, but like, if, but like, I spend all that time getting successful just to buy a bigger box.
00:01:36.680No, that's not why you get successful. It's to level up in every metric.
00:01:42.220That achievement you get when you level up, when you get to the next prestige level of Call of Duty, that feeling of leveling up in real life is incomparable to anything else.
00:01:49.180That's the greatest form of human achievement. And then you'll, in turn, inspire other people and continue the human race.
00:01:54.580When you achieve something in Call of Duty, you're not accomplishing anything.
00:01:57.400When you achieve something in life, you can help other people.
00:02:00.420Who is there to help, bro? Nobody out here will be listening.
00:02:05.940Yeah, they do. You're listening to me right now. Your future children, your family, your friends, also other people in the youth.
00:02:11.480When you get to my age and you have the same conversation with somebody that's your age now, you might be able to have the same effect on them.
00:02:20.740So that's what you did? That's what you're on here for?
00:02:23.640That's what I'm trying to do right now in this conversation with you. Most of the time, I'm just screaming and trying to talk to girls.
00:02:28.560But I saw you right now. You asked me a question. And hopefully, you don't go back to Call of Duty right after this conversation.
00:02:34.800Hopefully, you hang up Omegle and you start to level up.
00:02:39.040All right, man. I'm going to level up. You know what I mean?
00:02:41.460No, you're not. You're about to go back on the game. Let's do 10 push-ups right now. Liar.
00:04:38.780I don't want to waste my young years on getting successful so I can just be successful with no friends later in life.
00:04:45.980Having fun with your friends is extremely important, but you get to a certain point where you can't have fun with your friends unless you have leveled up.
00:04:52.740If you're doing the same thing now in 10 years, you're just a bunch of losers sitting in a room playing video games and everybody's sad.
00:05:02.160It's fun to hang out with your friends now because of where you are in life, but in 10 years, you know what's going to be fun with your friends?
00:05:19.040You're having different conversations.
00:05:20.120You're talking about your experiences.
00:05:21.440You're telling them the places you travel, what you've learned.
00:05:24.180That's the fun you're going to have with your friends 10 years from now, not sitting doing the same exact thing you're doing now.
00:05:29.260And if you continue to do that and you don't try to level up, then you're going to be that loser who's vaping, sitting there, talking about football, drinking a beer, doing nothing.
00:05:51.440It's not easy to level up and don't look for satisfaction in the short term.
00:05:55.260It's getting really easy to look for short term dopamine because of TikTok, because of video games, because of all the distractions.
00:06:00.960But you have to look for long term satisfaction.
00:06:03.680Don't even expect to be satisfied in anything in life until 10 years from now.
00:06:08.240But it's going to be a compound effect.
00:06:09.94010 years from now, you're going to look back.
00:06:11.400If right now you try to improve your life, you're going to thank yourself for starting now, for trying to do the right thing, because you're going to be ahead of everybody else.
00:15:46.420Sometimes I, like, when I'm on the bus, like, I, like, I'll, like, open the window and, like, just, I'm, like, what if I, like, threw myself out the window right now?
00:15:54.560I think about that when I stand on the balcony behind me, but I don't do it.
00:15:58.060I think everyone thinks that, but how much are you really contemplating that?
