Four years later, I still find myself watching these videos again and remembering great motivational advice. Thanks, TGV. You are still absolute pure class.
I am stopping this video at one minute 47 seconds, TGV my brother you not sleeping and utilizing all of your free time to make this a wonderful experience we call your channel is what got you the bills in the first place. I demand that you ensure that you are spending proper time not only sleeping but with enjoying life with your beautiful young wife and Ernie. My brother we will always be here for you and we need you to be at 100% at all times not only for the channel but for you as a functioning , loving husband and as a friend to man's best friend. Take care of your body/mind and remember to not overwork yourself or stress too much.. Ok now back to your video **TGV finger snap**
I do construction work ten to fourteen hours a day in every kind of weather there is. I hate it sometimes when things aren't working out as planned , it can drive you nuts! Coming home to my wife and son and seeing that they have no worries at all , gives me that motivation to keep rocking! Keep rockin TGV we roughnecks need ya!
What a great way to think, "seeing that they have no worries at all". Good for you my friend. Thank you for sharing that and your support. Best regards, TGV
If you are religious one thing that keeps me going is a quote from St. Alphonsus de Liguori's "uniformity with God's will", something along the lines of peace is always attainable when we ourselves desire what God does and stay cognisant of the fact that all is how he wills it. There was an account of two martyrs being burned and torn by rakes whilr joyfully screaming "blessed be thy name and thy will which is being done unto us". I just thought wow, what do I have to complain about, even in the darkest times you can be at peace when you want what God wants and are aware that whatever is happening to you is happening for a reason, our own spiritual betterment and in some cases to be a role model for others, as the two martyrs all those many years ago. Anyways, great video, thanks!
anyone else want to get up and want to run through a wall after this video? have a chronic back issue... and it is seriously difficult to keep going when the pain is high... .well.. based on this video.. that is only 40% of the pain threshold! keep on keeping on!
You're going to be huge soon. People believe in you, because you always share positive helpful things, that I bet 1000 to 1, you live everyday in your life, so you're truly an authentic person. Thank you very much.
I have come back several times to this video during lockdowns. I want to thank you, Tristano, for being a continuous source of motivation and inspiration in dark times of isolation. Onwards and upwards! Daniël
You inspired me to display a framed photo of my grandfather with his 3rd armored division brothers in my office and reflect on the struggles and courage of my ancestors. Something I had forgotten.
Hey Tristano, I'm going through a stressful period right now and the RUclips algorithm decides to recomend me this old video of yours... I'm glad it did. O&U!
Awesome video, i come from alpham. and the thing i like most about your channel that you give us very in-depth info. No advertising, no bs, just simple FOCUSED information. Keep up the good work!
exactly true! We are only here because out ancestors persevered and survived! And others can always have it worse. this is motivational as im coming out of a depression. life is good and never forget it!
Wow! These are great techniques. The ones that resonate with me the most: cutting off negative people; the discipline of staying focused; exposing yourself to new experiences, books, learning, art; role models (my late father is a big one for me); short and long-term goals, doing your ancestors proud. Wonderful video, sir. Thank you!
Tristano, your reference to your ancestors and what they went through. Brilliant for a shot of perspective to me. How bloody lucky I am due to my own ancestors' sacrifices and resolve. Thank you for reminding me of that. I am grateful AND very fortunate to be alive in this abundant age.
Thank you TGV for sharing your personal life stories. Inspiring others and giving your listeners on RUclips and especially your Urban Gentry fans worldwide, very good tips on how to stay motivated and staying positive always. Can't believe that I am listening to your recording 5 years later which is especially very relevant in such difficult times (during the worldwide pandemic). I will always try to remember your tips, keep on trying to stay positive and motivated and most importantly keep on trying to achieve what I have failed to complete.
Governor - Thank you for investing so much time, energy and effort in sharing your thoughts. You are truly an inspiration and a model of dedication and perseverance. Bravo!
Near 2018 and still watching this again and again > am so glad to be younger than you to learn more about life and gentleman's behaviors > but we missing these vids today 💔
I thought I was a fan before watching this, I think now I am something more of an admirer! I didn't know how bad I needed to watch this video. Thank you for everything you do TGV!
Excellent video. Many of your tips remind me of my percussion teacher I had throughout middle and high school, the importance of expecting more from yourself. It's key to have mentors and role models, I'm sure you've helped a lot of people with this video my friend.
Thank you Joseph. I must also say thank you for a previous comment you left. I did not have time to reply, but I want to say it was also greatly appreciated. Best regards, TGV
Ive been watching your site for the watches but this is true gold....So so true .great truths for motivation.. Ive had these same appofoni es almost too a tee.. I can relate so much Great stuff.. I've been nearly killed ... a graphic artist ,tattooist, musician , martial artist ,boxing coach and now a Father ...hardest one of all :) God bless You're a quality human being
You have a very charming personality. This classy retro vibe is off the charts! :D LOL You are almost like an embodiment of what I could dream to become. . Thank you for sharing your encouraging words.
Thanks TGV. You are a real source of inspiration. Not only watches, lifestyle or the good living. As in your list, you are a real role model to me. Signor Tristano, continua e ricordati, non si molla. MAI. Saluti da un italiano in America.
Awesome video. One of my biggest struggles is being too hard on myself. I'm extremely competitive, and sometimes expect perfection of myself. Taking a step back and thinking about what you are doing right goes a long way. Keep up the great videos TGV.
Gov'nor, it's a shame you have the huge medical bills as an "English man in New York" in the UK you would have nought! This only make me appreciate the NHS which is the envy of the western world, but this is only temporary as we are steady heading towards medical bills as the NHS is cash strapped. You will be successful in your endeavours because you have the spirit of the British bulldog, you are bang on point, keep going on as your contribution to horology will live forever through the TGV channel. All the best!
Thank you so much CKR, Very touched by your words at the end there. It is indeed a shame about the bills, oh well! haha "Englishman in NY", have not heard that song in such a long time! Hope you are well my friend. Best regards, TGV
A Manager lights a fire from underneath, But a Leader lights a fire Within. TGV, you have 55 Thousand People following you, as your a great leader! I honestly feel improved by watching The Urban Gentry. Absolutely loved this Video! You've definitely Lite a fire within me, & Focused me to reach my personal Goals. Brilliant Video. BMJ ENGLAND.
Thank you Benjamin, I am deeply honoured by your words. My only worry is one day I will not be able to keep up with the comments, but know this, I will never forget your support my friend! Best regards, TGV
Tristano, that was fantastic, I had to stop the video and take notes. Thank you friend. I'm looking at my Sinn 857 S on my wrist, a watch I own because you reviewed it. It's beautiful, thank you sir for opening up this world of horology to me and. countless others. I very much appreciate your efforts, never stop!
Thanks once more Tristano. I have recently found your channel for a definite reason my latest mentor. I am reminded by you of the life principles I needed to hear once more. Excellent. I tip my hat at your wisdom at your age. 👏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video! All of your hard work is greatly appreciate by everyone here. This is such a great mentoring video that everyone should watch.
Just saw the 40% video a few days ago, really helped me with exercising, and now you release this video. Funny coincidence. Keep making more non-watch related content, this is great stuff
Thank you Mike, very touched. You have become one of my most valued supporters in recent months, but beyond that, dare I say a friend. I hope one day to meet you in person, we can talk about collecting watches, die-cast models and good music and have a few Peroni. Until that day, I always look forward to reading your comments. Onwards and upwards my friend! Best regards, TGV
Great advice and fantastic presentation and imagery. I find I can read or watch all the motivational content there is, but if I don't think about it on a deep level and apply it, it does nothing. Hard not to take your 10 points to heart with such good explanation. Thanks!
Magnificent! I began watching your video's to learn about the details of fine time pieces and have discovered so much more. You sir are a quality human and i want to thank you for the advice on staying motivated. I have attended many seminars in my life some costing $1000's of dollars. You have managed to sum it all up in 37 min. 7 secs . Thank you . keep up the quality content.
Brilliant vid as always tgv . That last point "never give up" really has touched me & certainly made me more determined to reach my goals. Makes me wonder how many more people would see success if they were given this very same advice.
Excellent and timely video TGV. I have very suddenly lost my employement and I truly needed to hear these wise and life affirming tips. . Thank You for sharing.
Well done Sir. You have hit another bases loaded home run with these life hacks and your enthusiastic presentation. I wish you all the success in life you can possibly grab.
If you reach 100K, which I'm sure you will. I would just be happy that the channel is growing, even without any comments! I'll always support such a great Host & equally great Channel! Keep it Alive! Thank you Sir. BMJ ENGLAND.
Excellent video TGV! This is one of the reasons why I love this channel! It's not only about watches, it also has some wonderful videos like this one :) thanks for all the good work! Cheers!!!
Great job with this one TGV, you have it. Paying it forward to other with positive knowledge as you are, is an incredible way to produce inspired energy that comes back inevitably in multiples, that will also carry you through your own challenges in this life. The magic of activating positive energy. Cheers, and sending you all the best wishes to come!
Fantastic video and I loved the energy that you put into making this one! An excellent quote that I found on the internet 'An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. When life is dragging you back, just remember that it will be launching you into some great!'
I am going through the same thing as what you are in now TGV. and im already applying all the things you have mention. I appreciate the things you have mentioned here. certainly need some push from same, like minded people like me. thats why I like your channel and the FB group. keep trudging forward TGV, and help people be who the best they can be
Hello TGV, I've followed your watch videos for over a year now, but have only recently delved into your archive of non-horological stuff. I've found these videos very inspiring,, particularly this one. I will now take a closer look at Terry-Thomas, thanks to you. He sounds like he has a story to tell. In return, may I recommend a biography of the late great James Robertson Justice - What's The Bleeding Time. Danny Baker, a South Londoner and auto-didact like yourself, heralded this book, and rightly so. Thank you for nudging me towards Bulova. I now own the Hack and the new smaller Lunar Pilot (white and blue), 2 cracking timepieces. Maybe the Accutron in the future? I have only admiration for what and how you do what you do ,TGV. One day I'll own an Oris Pointer Date. That's been my grail watch for a while. Health and happiness. Mark. A West Londoner living in Berlin and devotee of Siouxsie and the Banshees since 1978..
Great to hear you put into words your thoughts on ancestral 'connection'. Something, I imagine, many people also think about, but are perhaps wary of saying in today's fast moving and persistently youth focused culture which can fixate on innovation - often to the detriment of refinement. Like you, I regularly find myself reflecting on, and taking great strength from, my personal heritage, recent and distant.
Thank you Guv,- this was a great vid with very valuable advice that I have taken on board.I especially thought point 6 was important and I admire people that place themselves above those type of people.Best wish to you on your continued good health and the success of your great channel.Regards Pete.
'For millions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your mum and dads side successfully looked after and passed onto you life, what are the chances of that? It comes to me one and a while, and every time I tell folk it gets the best smile.'
Tristano - Very inspiring video. I'm impressed with what you have learned in your young life-time. Some of what I have aspired to for 50 years. I only hope to be around another 30 years to see the man you are yet to become. This video reminds me of a favorite Socrates quote "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think". My Best Regards, John
Thank you John. Very kind words indeed. I am reminded EXACTLY who and why I make videos when I read comments like this. EXCELLENT quote, gotta love Socrates. Best regards, TGV
Love your show. It has given me a lot of direction after my home was burglarized and my Omega Speedmaster and Seamaster were stolen. BUT... you need some serious help on your coffee game. Perhaps we can swap advice.. Step 1- Invest in a grinder and grind fresh.. It makes a huge difference.. Step 2- Ditch the vanilla "creamer"... The Moka Pot is class though... you nailed that!
Sincere thanks. I did some soul searching over the weekend, watched some inspiring speeches, and I'm definitely in a better place. Also found out I am going to be a dad for the second time this morning - life is full of blessings. Hope you have a wonderful week!
You kindly and maybe deliberately missed to mention that hate for an enemy , maybe a business competitor that you might have a history, that polarizing energy is a great source of energy and strength. Our culture ostracizes the sheer energy that comes from crashing our villains , like rivalry is only part of the arts nowadays , which is far from the truth . Love your channel and what you do. One of the few channels I would sit and listen to/ watch the entire 30 minutes video ,without even graphics or animations aiding your topics. How a gentleman should treat his enemies? How to remove the effeminate notion that accompanies modern gentlemen? From Greece , dearly.
Hi TGV, This is one of your best videos my friend, please do more videos like this one in the near future. It really helps people to think and do positive things in their lives. Negativity is very dangerous and it leads often to depression. Best wishes and stay healthy, Darko
TGV is more a life mentor and real gentleman to me than a watch enthusiast.
Thank you Shenghui, very flattered and honoured.
Best regards,
TGV

"Do your ancestors proud." I like that. You're continuing a bloodline, a pedigree of accomplishment. I like that a lot.
Thank you :D

You're going to be huge soon.
People believe in you, because you always share positive helpful things, that I bet 1000 to 1, you live everyday in your life, so you're truly an authentic person.

I have come back several times to this video during lockdowns. I want to thank you, Tristano, for being a continuous source of motivation and inspiration in dark times of isolation.
Onwards and upwards!
Daniël
Marco Pierre White is huge one for me also. His Oxford Union Q&A is truly motivating.
Looking forward to more of these. Keep the Lavazza flowing, and never lose that determination. Onward and upward!
You inspired me to display a framed photo of my grandfather with his 3rd armored division brothers in my office and reflect on the struggles and courage of my ancestors. Something I had forgotten.
Much wisdom here.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do....that defines me." Thanks a million good sir, needed the gut check pep talk.
You've earned my respect without demanding it
Thank you TGV for sharing your personal life stories.

Thank you so much sir. Very honoured and flattered by your words.

probably one of your best episodes, I see eye to eye with your ideas and points of view...
Near 2018 and still watching this again and again > am so glad to be younger than you to learn more about life and gentleman's behaviors > but we missing these vids today 💔
You always have the best background music too! Thanks!
I thought I was a fan before watching this, I think now I am something more of an admirer! I didn't know how bad I needed to watch this video. Thank you for everything you do TGV!

a nice change from the usual content; that bit about remembering our ancestors efforts for us really struck home.
Thank you, so glad to hear :D
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks ......your timing couldn't have been any better.....I needed an injection of your positive energy....
Thank you Joseph. I must also say thank you for a previous comment you left.

Ive been watching your site for the watches but this is true gold....So so true .great truths for motivation..

God bless
You're a quality human being
I love the way you narrate your life experiences and learnings. Very gentle manly! Thank you.
Btw, the Italian moustache is awesome.
You have a very charming personality. This classy retro vibe is off the charts! :D LOL You are almost like an embodiment of what I could dream to become. . Thank you for sharing your encouraging words.
You are top notch!!! I look forward to every single video you put no matter the content!!! Just love it and please keep rocking.
Thank you Richard, very flattered and truly appreciated.

Thanks TGV. You are a real source of inspiration. Not only watches, lifestyle or the good living. As in your list, you are a real role model to me.

Thank you so much Alex, honoured and flattered.
keep up the good fight my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Hi TGV, I know it’s an old video, but thank you for making it. Has definitely helped whilst being in lockdown here in Catalunya.
Awesome video. One of my biggest struggles is being too hard on myself. I'm extremely competitive, and sometimes expect perfection of myself. Taking a step back and thinking about what you are doing right goes a long way. Keep up the great videos TGV.
No one is perfect, do your best, but be kind to yourself.
Gov'nor, it's a shame you have the huge medical bills as an "English man in New York" in the UK you would have nought! This only make me appreciate the NHS which is the envy of the western world, but this is only temporary as we are steady heading towards medical bills as the NHS is cash strapped. You will be successful in your endeavours because you have the spirit of the British bulldog, you are bang on point, keep going on as your contribution to horology will live forever through the TGV channel. All the best!
Thank you so much CKR,
Very touched by your words at the end there. It is indeed a shame about the bills, oh well! haha "Englishman in NY", have not heard that song in such a long time!
Hope you are well my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
a cup of tea and watching this video is very soothing . Thanks my friend !
Haha, thank you Dylan, I like your style ;-)

I work in Abu Dhabi as a financial controller and if you dont mind I will show your video to my team, so to the point ! Thanks for the great work.
Tristano, that was fantastic, I had to stop the video and take notes. Thank you friend. I'm looking at my Sinn 857 S on my wrist, a watch I own because you reviewed it. It's beautiful, thank you sir for opening up this world of horology to me and. countless others. I very much appreciate your efforts, never stop!
TGV, you are a wise man and generous with your knowledge, thank you.
you're a living legend, I hope you'll be able to continue your channel.

Thank you so much :D

thanks for inspirational thoughts. FOCUS. Importance of TIME and a lot more.
Just saw the 40% video a few days ago, really helped me with exercising, and now you release this video. Funny coincidence. Keep making more non-watch related content, this is great stuff
You know what TGV... I love you man! Simple as that.
Thank you Mike, very touched.
You have become one of my most valued supporters in recent months, but beyond that, dare I say a friend.
I hope one day to meet you in person, we can talk about collecting watches, die-cast models and good music and have a few Peroni.
Until that day, I always look forward to reading your comments.
Onwards and upwards my friend!
Best regards,
TGV
Comment like this truly touches my heart. I would be so happy to meet you in person my dear friend.
Definitely do more lifestyle and motivation videos! Absolutely love these
Great advice and fantastic presentation and imagery. I find I can read or watch all the motivational content there is, but if I don't think about it on a deep level and apply it, it does nothing. Hard not to take your 10 points to heart with such good explanation. Thanks!

Hello TGV, I've followed your watch videos for over a year now, but have only recently delved into your archive of non-horological stuff. I've found these videos very inspiring,, particularly this one. I will now take a closer look at Terry-Thomas, thanks to you. He sounds like he has a story to tell.

I now own the Hack and the new smaller Lunar Pilot (white and blue), 2 cracking timepieces. Maybe the Accutron in the future? I have only admiration for what and how you do what you do ,TGV. One day I'll own an Oris Pointer Date. That's been my grail watch for a while. Health and happiness. Mark. A West Londoner living in Berlin and devotee of Siouxsie and the Banshees since 1978..
Great to see some activity here! This really is one of the very best videos on the entire internet.
Wear the Bulovas in good health!

Love these clips every bit as much as the watch reviews.
What an Excellent video. Thank you Tristano! A true gent.
cant wait for your next vid ...love your vids
Great to hear you put into words your thoughts on ancestral 'connection'. Something, I imagine, many people also think about, but are perhaps wary of saying in today's fast moving and persistently youth focused culture which can fixate on innovation - often to the detriment of refinement. Like you, I regularly find myself reflecting on, and taking great strength from, my personal heritage, recent and distant.
Well done mate. This is great stuff!
Thank you Josh :D

'For millions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your mum and dads side successfully looked after and passed onto you life, what are the chances of that? It comes to me one and a while, and every time I tell folk it gets the best smile.'
Tristano - Very inspiring video. I'm impressed with what you have learned in your young life-time. Some of what I have aspired to for 50 years. I only hope to be around another 30 years to see the man you are yet to become. This video reminds me of a favorite Socrates quote "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think". My Best Regards, John
Thank you John. Very kind words indeed. I am reminded EXACTLY who and why I make videos when I read comments like this.
EXCELLENT quote, gotta love Socrates.
Best regards,
TGV
Best video you have done. Well done. This is saved as a favorite. Thank you very much TGV.
Thank you Sam! :D

Beautiful video, thank you for posting.
Love your show. It has given me a lot of direction after my home was burglarized and my Omega Speedmaster and Seamaster were stolen. BUT... you need some serious help on your coffee game. Perhaps we can swap advice.. Step 1- Invest in a grinder and grind fresh.. It makes a huge difference.. Step 2- Ditch the vanilla "creamer"... The Moka Pot is class though... you nailed that!
Thanks, TGV. Very timely for me... have been feeling very down as of late.
Thank you Alberto, hang in there my friend, we MUST fight on.
I wish you all the best my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Sincere thanks. I did some soul searching over the weekend, watched some inspiring speeches, and I'm definitely in a better place. Also found out I am going to be a dad for the second time this morning - life is full of blessings. Hope you have a wonderful week!
I appreciate this insight please stay humble your an inspiration.
Very powerful advice! Thanks
Watched this today for the first time. Just what I needed :) thank you T🙌🏻
love your channel ! keep up the good work
You kindly and maybe deliberately missed to mention that hate for an enemy , maybe a business competitor that you might have a history, that polarizing energy is a great source of energy and strength. Our culture ostracizes the sheer energy that comes from crashing our villains , like rivalry is only part of the arts nowadays , which is far from the truth . Love your channel and what you do. One of the few channels I would sit and listen to/ watch the entire 30 minutes video ,without even graphics or animations aiding your topics. How a gentleman should treat his enemies? How to remove the effeminate notion that accompanies modern gentlemen? From Greece , dearly.
Hi TGV,
This is one of your best videos my friend, please do more videos like this one in the near future. It really helps people to think and do positive things in their lives. Negativity is very dangerous and it leads often to depression.
Best wishes and stay healthy,
Darko
Beautiful video. Wise words!
TGV, I really enjoyed this video and took a lot from it. Thank you for sharing this!
