It’s very clear from the video how positive an impact your Mum had on your life. Sorry to hear of your loss. Hearing what you’ve been through makes your advice even more pertinent, especially with the important context that MBA/business isn’t the most important thing in life. Excited to follow your future content!
Honestly, rlly glad that you made this video. Being vulnerable makes you relatable, and when you make IB and career focused content, it's pretty easy to judge and come to negative conclusions about your character. Knowing that theres a genuine passion behind what you're doing makes me want to rlly support what you do. Your best video yet. Best of luck Ben.
You’ve always come across as an easy-going, light-hearted, simple (in a good way) person. And that’s a testament to how you’ve lived and breathed the lessons shared here. Because anyone in your situation could easily become cynical, hateful, and defensive; but you’re the complete opposite. I don’t wanna say anything happens for a reason, but I think the way you go about life, will make you form the right connections & leave no regrets - which, at the end of the day, are prolly the most important. Thanks for passing on all the wisdom :)
i never comment on videos but this video hits really hard Thankyou for all that you do especially for sharing your experience RIP to your mother your mom must be proud of you
It’s not easy to be so open and honest to the public about the sacred relationship you had with your mum and what you went through. Really respect you for sharing this in the right time in your own approach Ben. As a content creator myself I could also relate to some of the things you alluded to such as the tenancy of over sharing/ being mindful. Some super inspiring points you mentioned in other parts of this video too. Really like this sort of content you put out. Thank you!
You’re a great person. Your mom did a wonderful job. Thanks for talking about this subject with us, and know you are having a positive impact on lots of people. Best,
Every now and again when I'd watch your videos, I'd have that nagging thought about your mother in the back of my head - I hope everything's okay - and it saddens me to hear of her passing. I've struggled to word this correctly, but it can't have been easy to leave Korea and start the MBA with excitement and then have things go south literally as you'd just left. I'm sorry the start of something you'd been waiting years for got off to a rough start. But I'm glad that even within loss there is light, and rareliquid exists in part because of her - you'll always have that. The darkest grief only exists because of love.
Thank you for providing your experience. It’s so inspirational to see how you have progressed this far in your career and you highlighted the concept of the things that make you happy aren’t always the easiest. Appreciate how much you opened up to share your story with your mom and your outlook after such a hard situation, may she rest in peace.
Loss is a part of life , always keep sending good prayers to your mom wherever she is and i will do the same 😊 , everyone has go one day and we should have no attachment but still love the person the most
Thank you for your vulnerability with your experiences, notably with your mom. I admire the love and care that you have for her. I know this was very difficult to share to us, but I’m very proud of you for doing so! Great job man.
Thank you so much for sharing these lessons. Also understand that its not easy opening up about your loss and so sorry to hear about that. I love how you've kept a positive attitude and are able to be grateful about life. Excited to see your future growth and hope to see more wins in your future. Thanks Ben.
i never comment on videos, but damn this hit home. my mom has parkinsons and i've struggled with keeping a positive attitude and performing at a demanding job. really appreciate you sharing your perspective; i took away a lot of good stuff 🙏
i feel you. for me it was only after my mom passed that i felt i could really breathe, relax, and be more at peace. during her battle with ALS, it wasn't easy to remember that the little positive moments we shared together would be so important and something i miss now and would look back fondly on. hope you're able to enjoy as much time as you can with your mom and best of luck to you
I never comment on videos but this one hit so close to home. My condolences. Thank you for sharing Ben and I look forward to seeing your continued growth and success!
you are strong bro im really proud of you man, rn im pursuing IB my mom is in another country and i miss her so much and I can’t imagine her not being with me.
Being 27 and having been watching your videos from the start, this was an awesome and insightful video, Ben! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your insights. Your channel helped me get a corp dev job with zero banking experience. Keep everything coming!
Hi, Ben. Thank you for sharing as always. There are so many words i wanted to say, but in all, you are truly strong and inspirational. Your mom had must been so proud of you, as always!
Thank you for sharing these lessons. I am 25 and still very much figuring things out. I don’t feel like I have accomplished much. I don’t exactly know what I want to do with my life. I feel like I’m falling behind the curve. This helped me reframe and feel optimistic about the broad range of possibilities for the future. Thanks man
Ben, thank you first. Secondly it's good to have space to feel vulnerable coz it's healthy and healing, we are honored to be your listeners. Thirdly lessons in ur 20s show pure wisdom of life and i got them deeply since i am in my 20s. Finally my condolences to you Ben. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this video and in general for the content you provide in this channel. You´re making a real possitive impact in this world. Especially for young people like me. Your help is awesome.
Thank you for sharing this, Ben. Really loved this new video type. I have no words for how much respect I have for this more raw content, especially with something as personal as this. I love your content, hearing your advice through the years, and everything else in between❤
I don't know why i pressed on your video tonight as i don't usually watch youtube. But i'm glad i did. My Father passed away from ALS last year so this hit home. Enjoyed the video.
I started watching you in 2020 before I landed an IB internship at a BB, I stayed for the personal growth i've seen on the channel. Life is fragile and happiness is a choice, i'm glad you were able to realise this as many don't and unfortunately stay in a repetitive strut of hating their day-to-day. Kudos Ben
Hey Ben, I don't usually write comments but I hope you're okay reading this note that resonated with me after watching your video. First off, I just want to say thank you for sharing all these invaluable life lessons that you acquired while going through your 20s. I'm currently in my mid-late 20s who graduated from UC Berkeley (go bears!) in Fall 2021 and just landed my first job as a Database Architect a few months ago. Before then, I was struggling to find a job because I did not have a full time job offer lined up prior to graduating. Luckily, I did get one offer but I eventually turned it down because there were already a lot of people complaining about the work culture and how the seniors are merely pretending like they're all ruly and bossy. Who knows? I might have changed the company's work culture and made the company healthier haha, but I ultimately turned it down and I guess the price that I had to pay was two and a half years of waiting, countless anxious nights, and just like what you mentioned in your video, pain. I don't think I want others to go through the same experience that I've gone through, which is perhaps why I'm mentioning this part but do not to sacrifice your mental health for significant things like even one's career. Furthermore, I decided to join the Army (not Korean one) to enhance my career trajectory, which obviously requires a lot time, energy, and grit. All in all, I am where I am right now with the blood, sweat, and tears but because of your video it made me reflect back on the few years of my life. Thank you for this and I am sincerely sorry to hear about your loss. Even though you may be only a fews years older than me, there are so many aspects about you that I look up to and learn from. I just want you to say you're doing great and keep up the good work! :)
I followed Ben for a long time, when starting learning excel. I'm 40 years old and did not expect that his wisdoms are so heavyweight before watching it. But I'm glad that I did.
Some important from 20s and 30s 1. Never stop compounding your money in index and mutual funds, every month - time in market beats everything. 2. Health is king - gym and jogging several times a week beats depression and stress, no excuses. 3. Diet - increase carnivore intake to increase strengh and health 4. Plenty of water intake every day 5. Meditation, stretching, appreciation and god (if you are agnostic then just meditate) 6. Define your purposes in life. 7. Take out people in your life that are toxic or have no benefit
I don’t normally comment on RUclips posts, but this video could not have appeared in my life at a better time. As someone who’s just started their 20s, I’m still navigating so much and running into so many similar struggles and conclusions as you, but hearing about your experiences and how they shaped you as a person is helping me cement the view that everything I’m experiencing right now is a valuable lesson, and that all of this is shaping me up to be a stronger and more hardworking person. I’m really sorry to hear about your loss, but your mom and family must be so proud of the person that you are, the work that you’re doing for the community, and for following your dreams and making the most of so many difficult experiences. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful compilation, and hopefully you could upload more such content for some of your younger and more impressionable audience members who’ve still yet to gain important perspective on many of these matters :)
Could you get deeper into how people interested in being in the graduate student council have to do. Like about the things they do politically. Basically all the serious that a candidate has to do to get elected and also spill the secret stories?
@ could you make a video about how to deal with bad/difficult supervisors? And maybe share some of your experiences. I also just started a new role and my manager has been with the team for 20+ years and is very resistant to change. Don’t know if you have had to work with people that were twice your age and very hard to work with
Ben, I like to work at a wall street investment bank I have few problems with Investment banking I want a good answer for them so How can I contact you as a video call? Please be kind enough to help me

@@rareliquid Greatest life lesson i've learned is that you shouldn't trust people online or they can scam you with a shitty cryptosite
