I used to think and study to Minecraft soundtrack
the quality of this video is MWAH! proud of u 🥲
I appreciate it Jem!
man this was beautiful
thanks brother
Love this man, hit me in the feels for sure. I miss Minecraft, and those times, but now we can create awesome content for the world as well :)
Yeah man. That’s the circle of life right there 😭
"This story is still being told"
And I'm excited as hell to see how it plays out.
All the best, Adam.
I hope you stick around to see what the future holds! All the best to you too :)

I started AGAIN about 2 months ago, maybe less, but now I'm fully invested in this and I get lost in it when I start building a site. I just happen to end up learning problem solving and don't even realize it. It is an amazing feeling.
Changing the life of mine and my kids while finally finding something have a passion for. The passion for creation has always been there, I just had to find the product I loved creating. All the best to you!
So glad you found it David. Best of luck!
@@AdamWong thanks! I recently got a shopify job after 4 months, im just changing content but it's a stamp on my resume!
@@Loki_Dokie that’s fantastic dude!!!
@@AdamWong 🙏
'Did I make the wrong choice?' - That was also me. Glad to see that you stuck around
Glad to see that theres some shared experiences out there :)
dope as per usual
thats the brand
1:14 sooo relatable, not in the sense that I wanted a Minecraft mod, but if you wanted to do anything you'd have to figure out how to do it yourself. Ahhh, the early days☺ - thanks for sharing your story!
Haha thank you Brittany! You are one of those wizards that enables people to better themselves :)
This motivated me so much wtf? You're so underrated!
Thanks Neat! I'm glad it was motivating.
Notif ganggg - missed the vidsss keep these up!
haha thank ya Dina. Thanks for coming back after my wrong file mess up lol
This top tear quality content and I'm happy that I found you. Very inspiring story and you did an amazing job telling it. I'm pretty sure that your channel will blow up if you keep on uploading.
Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed! I hope it gains some traction, but it's also kind of nice having a small community since theres no pressure lol
This is fucking awesome. Our twelve year old selves would be so proud of us. A good reminder to remember the times when you wanted what you currently have.
For sure! It was surprisingly cathartic writing this video... always so focused on what I haven't achieved yet it was nice to take time to think about what I have
This video is amazing, thank you so much. I’m a prospective student at Waterloo and your videos genuinely inspire me
I'm so glad! I hope you get into Loo!
@@AdamWong hey update :D i am enrolled there for engineering! thank you so much for all your kind words
@@jonathan_kim Yoooo no way! Congratulations and welcome!
@@AdamWong thanks :D
Instant like for legit minecraft. Mining and crafting lol. Definitely my favourite video of yours. 2nd best is first year C at SJ. Glad you diverged from the Joma theme.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad I diverged from the Joma theme too haha
Powerful bro .. Consider being a motivational speaker!!
Thanks for sharing your experience , I love it .
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It would be sick to be a motivational speaker lol
this was beautiful man - would love to see more story-telling videos like this one
Yoooo I really appreciate this man. I’m tryna be motivated and find inspiration. Do you honestly think there’s a market out there for more content like this?
@@AdamWong story telling is definitely huge on RUclips - first thing that comes to mind are the animated story tellers like domics and stuff - they definitely do really well
You go 🎉❤
Thanks Chai!
You need more recognition my man. Great video keep it up!☺
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Hoping to make another video soon
Great story Bro !💪 I mean seriously ,... Keep The Good Work Done !
“I believe in my abilities”
I do too, fam... I do too
your a god though man
I'm in disbelief that you're still under 3k subs. Great content man!
You and me both! Thank you though, let's hope for 3k :)
Minecraft is why my career and my love is for entrepreneurship. factions is the game that taught me economics and how to spend hours trying to gain assets. taught me you can have millions but without others and a place of comfort. there is no excitement and love to grow. creation was the result of hard work. not the rank or money that disappears after the games over
Minecraft has impacted millions of lives. Who would have thought that punching a tree could cause so much change.
Banger video
Thank you!
Choose what you want bro !
my god that Minecraft shot gave me some serious goosebumps
The power of nostalgia. Glad you enjoyed it!
Maybe I'm a little late to the party but Man, you're a really good storyteller.
PS: I also wanted to get into medicine until after I completed my final year in high school. While I was awaiting results(so I could apply to med school), I stumbled upon CS50 and ended up majoring in Maths & Comp Sci. Weird!
Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the story, it’s often tough for me to know how it’ll land.
It’s cool to hear that you went through some similar experiences!
Nice story!
I like ur hair bro great video as always!
Thank you so much 😀 can't believe Joma stole my flow thoguh
It's great how my start was also almost same, I was into games, espacially GTA, i wanted to mod em, added tons of mods, thought of making one and saw scripts and shit and started learning :)) and also, i told my family ill be a doctor too, but didn't choose cuz I started hating memorizing cuz of history and etc subjects!
i'm cool hearing that other people had similar experiences!
I think you kind of look like Cisco from the flash, you smart !!
LOL thank you. Had to look him up.
Nice video bro
Thumbsup when I saw bucky robert
Bucky is GOATED!
Why is this video so nostalgic?
This is so inspiring 😭😭😭😭
Glad you found it inspiring!
wow! Excellent video, Keep it up
Many many thanks! Excited for you to see what i'm putting out next.
Great job on this one man
I appreciate it Rahil! Let's hope the next one is better 🙏
this is my new favorite anime
make me an anime theme song
loved this
Glad you enjoyed it Marzooq! :)
I can relate about memorization. I realized that there are a lot of topics in school were related to memorization - geography, biology, history, even math when some advanced topics were taught. Like every time when memorization subjects appeared i performed subpar. Part of the blame was on me because i didn't reread things 10x in a row, but i hated that shit. I wanted to understand things NOT reread shit billion times over to memorize it for the sake of memorizing it.
I became increasingly pissed off in my 20's as i realized that memorization was actually the core part of intelligence. Even chess that's famous for being a game for intelligent people was more about memorization than logic (memorize the chess book, openings, tactics, and have a good short term memory and you're set for grandmaster title). Being able to memorize shit and then shove it in somebody's face during conversation is also considered intelligence in casual conversation. I reallly hated that but i recognized that. So i also leaned towards programming where understand things was the key. Sure memorization helped, even top senior programmers were speaking out of memory and showing examples out of memory, because having understanding helped. But not being able to memorize shit was not deal breaker. You could study concepts and just remember them in conceptual level, not word by word level, you could remember things have things worked in high level and not letter by letter memorization of an essay. It's fantastic. But i'm still pissed off that world is ruled by memorization obsession. Even politics is about memorizing who is what and who did what. And having bad memory you just can't be effective at those types of conversations....
I feel you. Software engineering is the closest I think we’ve come to monetizing “thinking” (outside of an academic environment).
I suppose we are lucky to live in a time where that’s a possibility.
I also wanted to pursue medicine after high school. Now I am in my first year of computer science :)
Don't tell me you're coding without a backrest
Excellent vid btw
@@ColeHastings Thank ya man :) Not sure if you saw ur channel in my recommended vids. Also my back is in immense pain 24/7
@@AdamWong oh word thank you dude, I'll put you in there as well
Good 👍

@@AdamWong we should could collab next video bro

Can’t wait to hear what you pick man! Good luck!
Bro Adamantite was OP AF!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you liked it :)
LMAO, I die when he show minecraft!

I used the Minecraft soundtrack! Look up cinematic Minecraft music
pretty fucking dope🔥
Thank you :)
Stupid things can be a inspirational
you never know what can change your life!
I want to become Software engineer !
i'm sure you will be!
currently 14 and im falling behind grade like alot . and currently starting to learn python 2 on codecademy and im struggling and i want to give up. i already give up once before on HTML and i thought to myself if i dont do anything right now i will never be able to find a job in the future. so im starting to learn pyhton now and im struggling so anybody got some tips on how i can be sucessful right now or one day? appreciate it. :)
Just keep trying to make bad and stupid projects. If you are already focused on this at 14 I think you have a bright future ahead :)
Adamantium
The strongest of all elements
only if minecraft was free i could also be a software engineer
Every child should be bought a copy of minecraft by the government
@@AdamWong definitely
intelligence is reflected on salary, and when height and appearance can be the requirement from girls/women , why can't salary/intelligence be ....lol
I'm 20 years old now and I am regretting that I didn't study programming when I was younger
It's never too late. Just drink lots of coffee!
Cried.
That’s not very optimal of you bro
Nice video bro
