    For the very first time I saw someone putting up their actual "Failure to achieve" here. Felt really raw and really good, for once to just not see the utopian world but an actual scenario. Cheers mate!

      It is a bit tough to see one not being like that character in a tv show. But you realise that life is way more than getting that one thing. Life is a long run and in the end it is more about the experiences and learnings we take away than our individual successes! Glad you felt the video that close and honest. Love seeing comments like yours : )

    Most important is participation and not always the result. In my opinion you're Trinity's RUclips Scholars thank you for representing the students on RUclips Mario. 👍

    • @MarioFabelo
      @MarioFabelo  5 месяцев назад +1

      Oh, thank you so much for that! I don’t really represent the students but hopefully I can showcase and share some of the student experience and the atmosphere! Lots of videos yet to come!! ☺️🙂

    Such a helpful way to see these competitive things as a lottery ticket! You can get more tickets buy putting more work in but it still comes down to luck at the end. Will keep this in mind with my Rhodes Scholarship application :)

    • @MarioFabelo
      @MarioFabelo  5 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you for your comment! I think that framework is a healthy yet effective one for acknowledging what is under our direct control and what isn’t.
      The component of luck is always present and there is no better approach that giving your best and hopefully the probability of success will be greater!
      Hope you the best with the Rhodes Scholarship and I am sure that whether or not you get into Oxford you will end up being really fine!

    Oh my God this was such an engaging video, felt just like a short film as you said. For all the hard work you do in your studies and on YT, you deserve more recognition.
    As I'm writing this; congrats on 4k subs!

    • @colinmarshall5651
      @colinmarshall5651 5 месяцев назад

      ​@@MarioFabeloYeah, a Trinity offer! Been wanting to go for years, so it's a dream come true. I'm doing the theoretical physics (TR035) course though, are you a mentor for that one too or is it just the physical sciences course (am I right in saying that's your course)? Regardless, hopefully I'll see you around!

    I tried schols too (as a mature student in Deaf Studies), and didn't make it. Nor did any of my classmates who tried.
    Still worth trying, though.

    • @MarioFabelo
      @MarioFabelo  5 месяцев назад +2

      The most common scenario is not a single person getting it, yeah. That is why it was so very exciting that one of us got it!

    Dude please recommend where to start for scholarship at Trinity

    • @littleastro7948
      @littleastro7948 5 месяцев назад +1

      At the beginning. Start by keeping good notes during first year so that you can easily decipher them in second year. Keep up that pace in second year and try to work on a chapter or two from 1st year every week.
      Might not be the best advice though as I didn’t get schols either xD

      @@cloudy772 Thank you! Just take it really seriously and try to get familiarised with past papers as soon as possible. Just looking at the papers and how the questions look so that you start to get a feel! The rest is just having a good ability of improvising and problem solving under pressure. Best of luck!!!
