A nice pick-me-up after the shitshow that was today.
+Stone thrown in water 😂😂😂😂👍that was good
Stone thrown in water so accurate
This video and the posts here really help me heal after the reality shock set in.
Whats this about an election? I'm upset that I likely failed my course because of a shitty exam I had yesterday :/
timing couldn't be more on point
I agree with you. Even in my birthday...
Perfect timing for Americans. Thank you for this.
Start packing your bags. #MAGA
Nife She won't. She'll stay and fight. Because that's what's life is.
Perla Lopez **World**
Trump saved the world!

Rejected by the fifth company a couple of days ago...thanks SoL I'll try to hold on.
Persistence works my friend. Keep pushing.
2892seater 2 years and counting without a steady job... since this last Monday am about to lose my roof, left my girlfriend due to feeling unfit and undeserving, saw my brother in law treating my sister like a dog and my nephew's asked for help, tried to help but she denied calling me a liar...
yeah life sometimes kicks you in real real real deep holes....
Keep on pushing! What kind of job are you trying to get?
***** Yeah, I am trying to be persistent and patient. Let's see which attempt works for me. Thank you so much for the positive message. :)
Jgoncalodm Oh gosh...life does indeed do that. I really hope things work out for you - especially the job scene. Families are a subject that'll always be a difficult front in some way or the other, at least in my opinion. The fact that you tried to help despite your job issue shows you're a good person. Keep persevering my friend.
'you're going to get knocked down....' Thanks for rubbing that in , school of life...
I don't think they were intending to make life look fundamentally untasteful, but were more so speaking from past experiences. Just because we don't want to admit something doesn't make it any less real right?
After some time to reflect on this whole day, the initial shock and disappointment over Trump's election has faded. So now I completely see your point. You only fool yourself if you believe that everything in life is going to be fine and dandy. Yet, you should not live with the expectation of being "knocked down" all the time.
Don´t build expectation, just be conscious that this kind of trouble will pass through your life sometimes, and that´s normal.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I don't usually cry, yet here I am sobbing over a damn lego animation.
This was absolutely what I needed. Its been a very very difficult day in my country. So your timing of the video is perfect.
Isaac White you know he's brits right
Same
I get knocked down, but I get up again, you are never gonna keep me down!
Which is what Trump said every time the media pushed him down in the polls.
I see what you did there.
I definitely need this
we all do
Funny you say "all" when Donald Trump was democratically elected, isn't it? :^)
Well, he lost the popular vote.
+Detective Shaft he's currently losing the popular vote by around 0.001% of the total turnout, so it's not like a significant majority voted against him.
MarioCrashFan110 Is it because there isn't a new crash bandicoot
You probably had prepared this video for such a nasty night and day. The majority of Americans and the world needs this right about now.... thank you.
Not really. I'd in fact say that many people are happy. but yes everyone should watch this anyway
Most Americans are unhappy. Hillary won the popular vote and Trump won the electoral vote. America is a republic, not a democracy.
conpa18dany No matter who won, a lot of people would have been unhappy today. This video would have been perfect regardless of the victor.
she did not win the popular vote get your facts straight....
Brandon Spell she did... check it
The timing of this video could not have been any better
This is exactly what I needed to hear today
OMG YOU DID AN ANIMATION WITH LEGOS!! I love theeeeem! Best toy ever. Talking about the message, yes, is very important to know that not all the stuff is going to be in a bad way. There'll always be people who want good changes like me and you!
I like how you mention first the legos and then the message (like in a "by the way" spirit) you honor your nickname
carlos salazar Thank you so much! Have a good day! 😁
BEEEEWWE
Ana Coolness *Lego. The word Lego is not plural
arf234 I don't understand. Can you explain?
Good timing
From your friends in America, Thank you. We needed this today
1:03 My takeaway: Learn to fight! For many in the US, including myself, these are sad times. It's worth echoing Martin Luther King Jr's words "The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice." Don't idle by and wait for it though, learn to fight!
Samira J. But he got killed so... discouraging.
his message is what matters. Lots of great thinkers were killed before, doesn't mean we toss aside their ideals.
"Pain is an excellent teacher."
-Zenyatta; Overwatch.
Yaaaaaas! Transcendance! 😂😂
Til it doesn't kill you.
True self is without flaw
There is a certain calm in knowing that life is going to beat us as hard as it can. Pessimism is truly the best medicine for this chaotic world.
Strange that this was uploaded after the election...
Bullzye yes so strange...😭
But obviously they couldn't have put this together so quickly. It was probably meant for Trump supporters.
FUCK you, School of Losers.
Well this episode seems timely.
This may be suprising for some americans, but just because your personal focus is on your elections right now doesn't mean that the rest of the world has the same focus. This video has nothing to do with your politics. It has to do with life, hardship and the resilience needed to keep going despite the pain of being alive.
Don't try to make it about something it is not about please. There are places to vent all your feelings about the election. But this has nothing to do with it honestly and it feels a bit absurd to connect the two.
did you read the SoL commentary?
EarlGrey ok but School of Life's top comment on their own video is about the election, so..
Sadly USA is not the first country where this is happening and it won't be the last at this rate
EarlGrey this may come as to a surprise to you, but this video is subjective.
+Aracely Ramos While they may have been trying to be encouraging to people upset about the election by making the comment you're referring to, they actually said it took them four months to make this video.
Thank you for this video today. Not a good day for America
No, it's a great day.
branstan100 get out of here
Not a good day for Liberals you mean.....
SlushiePimp I don't need to, you liberals are the ones going to Canada.
branstan100 I'm not a liberal. There's no need to be a sore winner. It's people like you who almost cost Trump the election.
I constantly want to tap out of life, but the thought of me actually finding a person who enjoys my company as much as I enjoy theres keeps me hopeful.
Hope is a mistake
@@da3musceteersIt happened, pretty soon after writing this as well. Best thing to ever happen to me as well.
Resilience is legit the answer.
Hope you found that if not then someday
I'm with Camus on this one. Sometimes when life gets too shite it's time to just call it a day and bow out gracefully
Thank you, we need this
Sorry about what? Democracy happening?
Let's just not right now okay maybe tomorrow not today.
I assume they are sorry that an ignorant incoherent orange science-denying KKK-endorsed misogynistic fraudster demagogue got elected after receiving fewer votes than his opponent.
Lars Petersson I am not sure they are apologizing for Donald Trump's win. It is soothing when someone acknowledges your hurt or regret, I think.
Yes, that's exactly what it's about if I may agree, and it had that effect on me. Well done.
This is Tragically liberating, thanks school of life.
Al Windsor I agree
Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... This makes me feel a bit of relief from the angst and anxiety of the elections. Now I do not feel so alone with my feelings.
Thanks. The timing couldn't be better.
As someone who's contract wasn't renewed and has been unemployed for couple of months now, this is was a nice cheer up. Thank you.
This is the best channel on RUclips,thanks for uploading I enjoy all your videos.
I totally agree. Since I discovered it a year ago, I watch every new video and try to learn something. These videos should be viewed in school and to be mandatory for the psychological upbringing of children. Also, mature people too could very well benefit, as we are all flawed. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
My takeaway.
Suffering is inevitable, things go wrong, we will be hurt and it's ok, and if we try we can get stronger and wiser, and life becomes worth living.
This is nice and all, but in the immediate aftermath, I need someone to be angry, seethingly angry. We can suck it up and deal with it later, but I need someone, a public figure to express anger, to vent their frustration and acknowledge just how wrong and unjust and foolish what just happened is. But thank you anyway for the opportune, timely video.
This short film has moved me to a huge degree the truthfulness nearly brings me to tears, I will be watching this at least once everyday to keep motivation on chasing my dreams
"For fate the willing leads, the unwilling drags along".
This is appropriate for today's situation
For today's situation as well
"The pessimist looks down and hits his head. The optimist looks up and loses his footing. The realist looks forward and adjusts his path accordingly." - King Ezekiel (The Walking Dead)
I love how much this channel makes people think. It's one of the few channels I know of where people often argue and state their opinions and ideas in the comments without memes or pointless spam.
What an amazing video. Regardless of what is going on in the world today, this applies to every challenge in life and made me feel better. No matter what you are going through, it will be fine. Thanks School of Life for sharing..
Thank you so much, School of Life. This is much needed today. After years of trying to recover from depression, and months finally without meds and therapy, what happened around the world today was bringing me closer to relapse. I'm not from the US, but monumental sad things are also happening in our own country. This reminder is much appreciated, that it's not evidence that life is a ruin; it's proof that we've found something worth living for.
Thank you SoL. You're one of my favorite forms of therapy. :) Love from the PH...
Oh! I'm happier now that you responded. :) You really are a gift.
Then good for you. ;)
Thank you. This day has been quite a tough one for me. First of all waking up to see Donald Trump has won the election, (I'm sorry for the Trump supporters, but I just don't agree with his points of view. No hard feelings), two hours later one of my closest friends tells me she doesn't want to be friends anymore and has blocked me from all media possible and to finish of my day I failed my assessment and only got very little study points. I'm trying to be cool and relaxed, but it's quite a lot to deal with one a single day.
You heard it in the video and I'll repeat it: You'll get through it, you'll be okay, and no matter what it might look like and how you might feel, you're worthy of love and you are amazing. :)
frozenpotato Thank you very much for this very kind comment!
TheNoahdjong I really hope your day gets better, I'm sure you will find in your heart the strenght to face everything life puts in your way. I'm sending you a hug and lots of support!
Ps. English isn't my first language so I'm sorry in advance for any grammar mistake.
Fernanda Figueroa Thank you very much! The day is almost over, for me atleast, I'm heading to bed soon. Tomorrow will probably be better too. And no problem, English isn't my first language too but I could understand what you meant and it's very much appreciated :)
Keep your head up and smile :)
Everything about this video is so brilliant. I also love the ever expanding creativity.
And I especially love how warm and caring the narrator's voice is, it has much to do with why we feel "we're not alone" when we watch these videos.
I'm just touched every time. Thank you.
I really like the LEGO animations you guys use, is it cheaper to produce than the digital ones? Either way, I would be happy to see more lego in the future of this channel. Much love
The School of Life yeah, I actually enjoy all the different art styles you use. do you guys have a different artist do each segment? or do you guys have just a few artists that have different styles?
School of life you guys are awesome.
and your videos inspire wisdom understanding and patience to me
i really like it when i see a new upload on this channel
thank u for your efforts.
papa bless
I really, really needed to hear this today. Thank you.
I watch this video on multiple occasions to the point where I know each line. But after every bad day that I have, this video still gives me the hope that better things are coming and I shouldn't quit. Thanks a lot school of life ❤
The visual ending metaphor with, the courage to "restart", random encounter and smiles exchange, plus the voice over words, all are brilliantly timed!
Thank you for your quite timely video in this dark morning. The world really needs this now.
That was great. I really needed that. Thank You So Much.
When I thought already, that the channel simply can't get even better, you've done this video and it has become my favourite so far! Thank you very much for such an outstanding contribution!
Welp, this was needed this morning.
At last wisdom in a world of superficiality. I am glad I found you! Thank you
Make America great again!
Hear hear!
Jeenjer Dong Canada
Oh god, they've learned to write now...
Say it with me: PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
It is: PRESIDENT DONALD J. DRUMPF
After the US elections, I needed this greatly.
While I agree that kids should be taught to expect adversity and to emotionally prepare themselves for it and to keep a healthy perspective, sometimes suffering IS a sign that something has gone wrong, and when it is they should work to fix it.
I think suffering constantly inflicted by another person is an example of what you mean. But if they are really good at making you suffer, you won't even realize its because of them. You will think its your own fault.
But such special monsters are rare in any population, and there is no way to protect yourself from them if they are skilled enough at their "craft" of exploitation and sadism.
@@gperson1967 👍
👍
Your videos were of great help during the hardest times of my life. This one would be perfect for me by then. Maybe there are lots of people dealing with hard times right now, and from now one. Glad this one will be there to help them coping and going through it all.
Thank you for that.
Life is full of struggles. Fortunately they all don't come at us like a bitter winter storm. Overcoming them builds character & gives us confidence when facing life's ongoing challenges.
I think I may need this video after the election.
Perfect timing. Thank you The School of Life for always providing us great and useful content.
This video helped me through a dark time in my life. Thank you for doing what your doing.
What I dread now, most of all, is a rapid increase in hate crimes and sexual harassment cases. And not just in America.
Love the final sentence, " find something in life worth living for " and i'd like to add - when life gets really, really bad, pray, and find something
"worth hanging on for"
There's no option other than face the reality with courage. Good luck America...
As I'm being perpetually forced into uncertain future, I'm glad you're along for the ride, School of Life. I plan to start 2017 looking for my place in the world, and I'm certain I've found a slice of the world where I belong in cyber space.
Here's to a brighter tomorrow. Cheers.
i don't know what this guy was talking about. i came for the legos
I really needed this today, I've been crashing and burning this whole college semester, Thank you.
I'm just slightly confused at the last sentence. "The fact that there are haters doesn't mean that your life is in ruins - it's proof that you've found something worth living for." How so?
Having haters means that you have something you stand for.
Canned YumYum Even the greatest people in the world had haters. Having haters just means you stand for something
I guess that makes sense, I was applying it to a situation differently... thanks!
Canned YumYum Yes, Trump found something worth living for, because he's the most hated person on the planet right now.
Yeah! I was just going to come the comments and ask what the last sentence was about. It makes more sense now, but I think its too broad of a statement. Of course people get rejected or have haters when they're on a mission do something worthwhile, but being rejected or having haters doesn't automatically mean you are doing something worthwhile. I'm sure thinking the former softens the blow and is better for an individual's psyche though.
Thanks for this. Sometimes we all need to be reminded to stay strong, and that when things sometimes go wrong, it's not necessarily a sign from the universe that life is shit. It's just hard to remember when going through the thick of it. I'll keep watching this as a reminder.
Resilience can sometimes work against you. Being the mind set of "i need to ignore these negitave feelinf because people rely on me" its ok to be vulnerable even if you remain collected on the exterior. We all deserve one person to be 100% emotionally honest with.
Thats my drunk wisdom of the wensday
perfect time for the world with everyone that Is fighting.
Resilience is a person’s ability to cope with the ups and downs of life. This includes how a person deals with the challenges they might face throughout this human journey. It could include the death of a loved one, a difficult disease, a heartbreak, in essence losing something or someone who is very dear. And this will happen to every single person sooner or later while we are in this temporary material world.
Resilience is important for everyone’s mental health but also for their physical, emotional and spiritual health. It’s a life skill that once it is developed will serve us very well until the end of this current human journey. It is thought that the more resilient a person is, the less they experience stress as they are equipped to deal with life’s pressures.
thank you! many of us in the US tried to stop this from happening. please don't blame all of us. :(
Alain, your work always soothes me in hard times. Thanks for this. Suffering is normal...somehow that's a relief.
Hi, I feel sick,like there's a black hole in the pit of my stomach and nothing will ever be good again.
All the tragedy and terrible ordeals we have yet to go through because of this monster are going to test us to the limit of enduring for years to come. I don't know if I have the fortitude to face it. Thanks.
Hey man, you'll be okay. Just give it time and try to change the scenes of your life. Whatever's caused it can be cut ties with and left behind. Try to pick up a hobby or find a new passion and put all your energy into it. Make drastic changes, nothing is stopping you from doing that.
Live a simpler life in a different country, as a suggestion. One of the most important books I've read is Flow by mihaly csikszentmihalyi. Not really related to your situation but it'll answer a LOT of things. Also read The monk who sold his ferrari. Hope this helped! You're not alone :)
Hi, Thanks for the advice I'll try to keep that in mind as I try to focus on better things in my life:) Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the book titles and the kind words:) I'll see what I can do about living a simpler life:) Thanks.
Armaan Yeah... I think the only way the OP can "cut ties" is if he moves to Canada.
***** Lol I didn't realize he was talking about the elections and Trump when he said "this monster". I thought he meant depression or some issue which he's been dealing with, so I gave my thoughts on that. Hopefully it helps him either way!
Choice music, pleasant animations, and a good script combine to make this a gem of a video. Thank You.
I got distracted by the LEGOs I forgot to listen. 😂😂😂
I wish you guys did a video on the logic behind these populist, authoritarian, ultra nationalist movements popping up across America and Europe.
At this point, I just don't understand.
Alain. I need a hug.
They all want to preserve their cultures.
Noone would see a problem with that unless you're a racist and think people don't have a right to preserve their culture.
Kieran M preserving one culture by discriminating against another is racist.
Oh really? Then care to explain why is white culture the only culture which has to bend over and accept a globalist agenda? So far, the trend of immigration in every white nation spells a grim prospect for their culture and kind, but nobody really seems to realize it or accept it, since it's easier to project "minorities" as being self-righteous and deserving of a chance in the richer countries regardless of any factors.
Want to know how I know you're a racist? The fact that while you were reading this, you probably thought I was white myself.
+Canned YumYum culture=/= race
whiteraven90 true, but there is a heavily implied connection.
What a timing... Much needed consolation for my current situation. Thank you School of Life💪💪
I think this is just the video I needed to be able to sleep...
Happy New Year School of Life!
This short video is the BEST the channel has ever done. Well done.
Don't attack each other over politics. Whether you are democrat or republican. Left or right. It doesn't matter because we can agree on this. An election should NEVER be dealt with the same way this one was EVER again purely based on the hatred that came with it.
~Animal Jam Fanatics~ Politics naturally seems to attract poor sportsmanship
Jack McCarthy People imprint the party they support into themself. Their identity becomes "republican" or "democrat". Its a very unhealthy way of living.
It causes discussions to be driven by emotions instead of logic. A great downfall of being human. Self identification is horrible, and people must be aware of it to stop some of the suffering. This doesnt relate only to politics but almost everything.
Benji Blue I could not agree more.
What a trumpin' great video!!
No...Just no
You crazy people are driving your country into the ground. :(
+Friendly Metroid
You put the words in the wrong order :) I'll fix it for you ;)
Our Country is driving all the crazy people into the ground.
See? :D
Much better ;)
Kieran M Murder is awesome?
You poor, poor soul
This is how I feel right now. Sadly I don't think anything could "trump" this. (Sorry for the pun)
Thank you for making this today.
I needed this now more then ever
Exactly! 2020 has been a real teacher for us all. I've been studying Stoicism and will share my research with my children.
I really really needed this after the election. I haven't been this devastated in years.
I help people because of the internal good feeling I get, because only at that time I don't hate myself, I feel proud.
Very comforting, Alain. Thank you. I had to watch it like 10 times.
I'd love to see more videos like this one. It's great motivation, and I can't help it but to smile. Keep up the good work, your content is very informative and helpful.
This is perhaps one of your best videos. Short, but really well thought out.
Couldn't help but laugh by him becoming scraggly, on his lego mattress, surrounded by junk food and "stud light," at 1:10. Funny. Will watch again to cheer up.
This channel is so soothing to me
I feel really better now, thank you School of life for everything.
I'm so grateful this channel exists thanx guys
Thank you, School of Life! This was my biggest worry when I had kids; I've also had to undo lots of bad parenting and teach these things to myself as an adult. Many thanks!
I literally needed this right now. my dad worries about so much that he almost hit his car and might even get fired from his job if he doesn't stop sneaking out to call me or stop going late to work after waiting for ages to drop me off at school so that I wouldn't have to walk in the cold weather.
This video has really helped me. So short and sweet. But perfect. Thank you
Thank you! I needed this! We all needed this!
This has come at a time much needed...
The animation was incredible as always but the content was much needed. Thank you
Thank you for this, Alain.
