This is so true, ever since I changed my attitude in 2nd year of college, my grades have been way better. I've started doing community service every weekend by helping the kids in my neighbourhood with math hw. Being positive and spreading it really helps from within, idk if it helps improving your health but I definitely feel better. ( I'm a Business Economics student btw, I just love mathematics a lot haha )
This is beautiful. I have practiced it on wanting nothing and doing anything. The result, I am happier than ever before. I hope that many people would realised that people are unhappy because of their 'wanting' and if we keep on doing this, human all over the world will surely unite in one entity.
This reminds me of a fantastic book I read called The Four Agreements. One of the agreements is to never take anything personally and was very similar to his quote from Marcus
Thanks Thomas, this is a great teaching! "When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood or birth, but of the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands, and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are obstructions." ~ Marcus Aurelius
this is already mentioned in holy quran “Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don’t punish them).”[Qur’an Surah al-A’raaf 7:199] thomas you're such a nice guy
Marcus Aurelius and the Stoics existed long before the Quran was being written, perhaps a lot of the ideals from stoicism and epicurianism and Meditations influenced later religions such as islam
@@geoffreyosgood2817 i'm sure your words are from the media, you know nothing about real islam, and the media still give a wrong pic about us because they're afraid from the huge number of new people turned into islam 😊 make your search honestly and you will find the real picture and you will understand why people turned into islam just when they know it. I'm just your sister in humanity ❤
@@lezzetlikitchen1301 Quran (4: 101) - "And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten your Salat (prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies." Looks like you need to brush up on your own texts. Islam operates under the assumption that all not in the Dar Al-Islam are your 'open enemy'.
There is some great science behind the power of positive thinking. Although it doesn't necessarily relate to this topic, you should check out the social construct that is dendividuation and talk about it. I think so many people would have a better awareness to their negativity when they are in negative groups.
You're so insightful! Currently struggling with this. I'm a junior in college and live with 3 other girls in an apartment. One of them is so negative and upset all the time. I try and be positive around her and most of the time I end up going to my room because she complains all the time.
I feel you - I've had to deal with the same kind of stuff. Honestly, while I tried to stay positive as much as I could, I also took steps to move sooner than I had originally planned as well. I want to be positive in all my interactions, but I also don't want my home base to be a place of negativity.
This reminds me of Brene Brown's Rising Strong. She has the epiphany that people are doing 'the best they can' at any given moment. Like when a dude loses it at a McDonalds for leaving the pickles on his McDouble- Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him or he found out he failed a test that day. Operating on the assumption that people aren't just shitty- they do shitty things because of life- I find it helps me think 'oh he's having a bad day' and not 'what a fucking scum bag! the world is full of them'.
That's a great insight, and I truly believe that for the majority of people. Controlling your emotions and acting positively is a skill that requires practice, and some circumstances push people beyond their current ability. It's not to say that there aren't people out there who truly are just jerks, but I think they form a very small minority.
I am not one to make heroes of people but I sense that you are a very productive and goal oriented person. Good on you. People can take away alot from your videos and tailor them to their own lives.
"we were born to work together" ❤ Thomas, this video really touch my heart. Really needed that positive/motivational quote... oh btw, can't wait for ur next Q&A video! Really enjoyed ur previous one!! (:
I did! It's a little annoying, though - I have to make sure I fit all the end card stuff into the last 20 seconds - and that means I can't do the ending jokes anymore :/
You'll get there dude! Btw, we need to figure out a collab idea for whenever I get to visiting the UK. Not sure when it'll happen, but I'm itching to visit Europe soon :)
I just subscribed after I realized i keep stumbling on your channel when I search for different topics.I certainly think you add value to people's lives with your videos ( not like most junk,clickbait,lame shit).Keep up the good work
My #1 tip in this situation is to ask "What do you want?". Most of these miserable people lack goals and probably would tell you something like "I don't know...nothing...what?". Right there you can end the conversation/interaction in many different ways: "Leave me alone", "Mind your own business", "I'm not interested", "I'm bussy", "Get out of my way", "No, thanks", "I do not like you", "Bye" or you just leave, giving them the nothingness that they want. I mean, understanding, empathy and temprance are nice but sometimes they take a time and effort that you are not willing to invest.
Eh, I don't think those responses are really in the spirit of what Aurelius was saying. He mentioned that our nature is cooperation, and ending a conversation rudely isn't the way to cooperate. It's harder, but I find it's worth it to end conversations more tactfully.
Thomas thank you so much for this video. I'm currently studying in Switzerland on an Erasmus and my brother gave Meditations to me before I left. Needless to say I finished reading it and have a different outlook on life :)
The message I get out of this quote basically is to reflect on people's flaws, be on the good side of people and have empathy for the sake of your own sanity, which is absolutely necessary when all us humans are crazy. But in the long run a person may easily collapse keeping their true thoughts/reactions on people's negative words/attitudes locked up. I think it's really important to find a way to relief that stress that comes with living this lifestyle.(If you're planning to follow this for a long time) Trust me, been there done that. Keeping away for certain periods of time and meditation for the soul is the key.
Thomas, just throwing it out there. You're helping me get through my college years and prioritizing them. Not sure if people say it enough, but keep up the good work man!
Quite a nice video, it helped put some perspective to a situation in my life so thanks for that! Also congrats for the book!, I read it this summer and found it useful. Keep it up, your work is amazing!
The two parts of this video seem to contradict one another, but then I realize I myself am unable to consistently correct my attitude, and should give that grace to others as well.
Hey man I love your videos and I'm reading your book currently, it really helps. Can you also make a video about time management? I think it would be really beneficial for me and a lot of other people. Thanks!
Time management is old school! Try out the new concept "Energy Management!" The productivity project by Chris Bailey.. Read it will be very helpful. I guess thomas has made a video too on it.
Thank you tom. Your research has helped me a lot in my day to day struggles in life and how I manage my anger management issues which normally externalize towards others.

Great video, Tom! It certainly gave me a different perspective. As always, the quality of the video couldn't be better.

My question to you is if actually collect board/card games, and if so, could name us a few of them that you really like and recommend? Thank you very much, and I wish you the best!
I'm not much of a collector, but I do think Netrunner is pretty great! MtG is probably my favorite board/card game, but I also love Superfight, Fluxx, and Ricochet Robots.
yeah but what if you're sufferring from depression? it's very hard to excel as much as I want to because of this. I hope there are helpful tips in the future to deal with depression as a student. -coming from a 2nd year architecture student.
Can you do a video on how to make yourself be more hard working and try harder and give your 100% at everything. Because sometimes you find that the course or life is hard, so you presume that you aren't going to get A+ and so you decrease your goal and just be happy with B's, even though you should really be getting higher marks? Sorry this is so confusing.
Everyone is negative at some point. I just wish people would look more at what they are doing wrong if they are going to constantly judge at what others are doing wrong.
What about if it is a close friend that is or started behaving very negatively? With time, it's gonna become rather hard not to bend or have your energy "sucked" by this negativity. How do you help this dear friend? What does one do? Thanks for the awesome videos, Thomas!
Exercise or any physical activity is a natural stress reducer. We were made to be stressed when in danger increasing memory and strength shortly and a lot of other stuff that would be used physically which would reduce our stress. The way society is shaped now, we are mostly stressed from things like taxes, projects, etc. (Mental things) and so we don't have that release. This can cause things like chronic stress which is very bad for you. I could go on forever, just do some kind of physical activity once in a while.
Yep, I'll revisit that topic soon (my friend Jess did a video on my channel about it a while ago). Martin and I also recorded an hour-long podcast episode about managing stress; you might like it! collegeinfogeek.com/stress-strategy/
This, mind you, from an emperor who made a career out of killing Germans. He could have killed more of them if they had let his hostility wash over them.
Hey Thomas, Sorry for the wall of text by it might give you an idea for a video or just general food for thought: I've notaiced that ever since S6 (the last year of school in the UK) after a holiday (or a general break form shool) I get a period of time when Im like "I can't do this education stuff anymore". I used to get through it in a day, but now just staring 3rd year of uni this feeling isnt going away ... Its getting worse ... I feel like Im wasting the best years of my life (im 20 btw) studding when I just want to travel and "be one with nature" (sound hippy but I grew up on a farm so hey ...). I love the course I'm doing, engineering, Ive been interested in it for as long as i remember and I also like the sort of jobs I can get form it ... yet I still feel that its all for nothing ... (btw im not depressed or anything like that)
Just keep at it man, you're doing great! You've still got you're whole life ahead of you, putting in the hard work now will be so worth it once you're finished and then you can travel the world with the assurance of a solid job to fall back on. The best is yet to come!
Can you get a bit of time to take a break and get out into nature? How much time do you spend on the internet - could you go on a 3-hour hike each week instead of staying inside? Honestly, there are days when I really just want to work with my hands. I've entertained fantasies of becoming a carpenter or an electrician at times when doing computer work gets really frustrating. But I've learned that the key is just to get an adequate amount of time away from screens, so now I just make sure to go hiking or do more hands-on activities instead of using my free time on video games and such.
Thomas Frank I've been catching all the sun I can befor the long dark winter, and I just booked a weekend long hiking trip out of town :) Its annoying/scary how important pacing yourslef is! Thanks for the replay tho! You quite possibly are the person that keeps the most motivaded to study so keep it up man.
Where is the link to the free version bro.?? We are seekers down here but our part of the world is so unfortunate we can't even get copies to buy even with money in your hands.The link please.
great content as always! :) sorry, if it was answered before, but whats the name of this song in the background?....it calms me soooo sooo much, perfect for learning
Thank you! I used three songs in this video. During the Aurelius quote I used "Soaring" by Kevin MacLeod. The main background track is "Black Lung" by Broke for Free, and the ending track is "Nola", also by Broke for Free.

Awesome video bro. We all need to strive to be better for our own mental health in a crazy world. Keep up the good work.
Great video and timing... I'm just starting Meditations again : )
This came just in the right time! Thank you Thomas
Exactly what I need of an advice to help me realize about the things I really want from things that's stopping me to do it
I'm almost finished with Meditations. I hadn't read it since i wrote it 2000+ years ago.
Great video Thomas!
This is Great! Thank you so much for giving the time to spread good teachings for becoming a better human being!
negativity has less effect as you become smarter/stronger. take control of your life and find that you experience less negativety.

Another awesome-must watch- video abt Meditations.....Thanks👍👍 fr d video n link to d book...couldn't find it before
Check out Epictetus... My favorite stoic by far.
Thanks for sharing! That was the perfect quote to go by while I'm interning.
Thank you tom. Your research has helped me a lot in my day to day struggles in life and how I manage my anger management issues which normally externalize towards others.

Thank you Thomas, stoicism is a good philosophy.
Really great editing this episode Thomas!
I loves Meditations.
Thanks, Thomas.
ok this is like one of the first videos im watching of yours, and i gotta say... You have a really nice eye color :D :P
Oh, that was powerful. Thanks.
From the last episode of Dear Hank and John is a solution for negative people.

Aurelius: The Golden One.
Great video, Tom! It certainly gave me a different perspective. As always, the quality of the video couldn't be better. I was wondering, though, about something which I've actually had in mind for a very long time:
I've noticed that in many of your videos, you've got some board games showing behind you (namely Netrunner and Arkham Horror). My question to you is if actually collect board/card games, and if so, could name us a few of them that you really like and recommend? Thank you very much, and I wish you the best!
I'm not much of a collector, but I do think Netrunner is pretty great! MtG is probably my favorite board/card game, but I also love Superfight, Fluxx, and Ricochet Robots.
speaking about meditation
I highly recommend a book on it by "Osho"...
it's just amazing
give it a try Thomas.
I really like your channel, discovered through SimonOxfPhys! I really hope your channel grows!!! :-)
Wow, this was a great one
yeah but what if you're sufferring from depression?
it's very hard to excel as much as I want to because of this.
I hope there are helpful tips in the future to deal with depression as a student.
-coming from a 2nd year architecture student.
inspiring video! thanks for the advice
Can you do a video on how to make yourself be more hard working and try harder and give your 100% at everything. Because sometimes you find that the course or life is hard, so you presume that you aren't going to get A+ and so you decrease your goal and just be happy with B's, even though you should really be getting higher marks? Sorry this is so confusing.
Great advice! :)
Best video on youtube!
thank you so much !!
Everyone is negative at some point. I just wish people would look more at what they are doing wrong if they are going to constantly judge at what others are doing wrong.
I aspire to become like you one day, Thomas :)
such a good video, thank you
you are awesome!!!!!!!
Great video!
Thanks for that great video!!??😃😃
WE NEED A WERKOUT ROUTIINEEE (preferably shirtless ;))
What about if it is a close friend that is or started behaving very negatively? With time, it's gonna become rather hard not to bend or have your energy "sucked" by this negativity. How do you help this dear friend? What does one do?
Thanks for the awesome videos, Thomas!
Grooovy baby.
anyone hear the sound quality increase?
I kinda find it muffled and would like it to have more of the upper frequencies. 👍
I think it's pretty similar to the past few videos - what sounds different?
Try reading Bo Sanchez books. He’s a Filipino author and he’s 👌👌👌
that book was i believe used in the movie Vengance

Hi, I have already read Meditations on Kindle, but I would like a paperback version to re-read. Where did you find the Penguin Classics version?
Adoro seus vídeos!
Hii Thomas I think you should teach us how to release Stress. Thanks for Reading my comment.
Exercise or any physical activity is a natural stress reducer. We were made to be stressed when in danger increasing memory and strength shortly and a lot of other stuff that would be used physically which would reduce our stress. The way society is shaped now, we are mostly stressed from things like taxes, projects, etc. (Mental things) and so we don't have that release.

Can you please make a video about raising your GPA .. I'm on my third year now and I will graduate on the fifth year
Hey Thomas, Sorry for the wall of text by it might give you an idea for a video or just general food for thought:
I've notaiced that ever since S6 (the last year of school in the UK) after a holiday (or a general break form shool) I get a period of time when Im like "I can't do this education stuff anymore".
I used to get through it in a day, but now just staring 3rd year of uni this feeling isnt going away ... Its getting worse ...
I feel like Im wasting the best years of my life (im 20 btw) studding when I just want to travel and "be one with nature" (sound hippy but I grew up on a farm so hey ...). I love the course I'm doing, engineering, Ive been interested in it for as long as i remember and I also like the sort of jobs I can get form it ... yet I still feel that its all for nothing ... (btw im not depressed or anything like that)
my advice is to finish what you started, so that you have a backup in case your travelling dream doesnt meet your needs..
just hang in there brother!
Just keep at it man, you're doing great! You've still got you're whole life ahead of you, putting in the hard work now will be so worth it once you're finished and then you can travel the world with the assurance of a solid job to fall back on. The best is yet to come!
Can you get a bit of time to take a break and get out into nature? How much time do you spend on the internet - could you go on a 3-hour hike each week instead of staying inside?
Honestly, there are days when I really just want to work with my hands. I've entertained fantasies of becoming a carpenter or an electrician at times when doing computer work gets really frustrating. But I've learned that the key is just to get an adequate amount of time away from screens, so now I just make sure to go hiking or do more hands-on activities instead of using my free time on video games and such.
Thomas Frank I've been catching all the sun I can befor the long dark winter, and I just booked a weekend long hiking trip out of town :)

Thank you! I used three songs in this video. During the Aurelius quote I used "Soaring" by Kevin MacLeod. The main background track is "Black Lung" by Broke for Free, and the ending track is "Nola", also by Broke for Free.

I feel like I'm on the other side. How do I be a top tooth and not a bottom tooth?
