When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world. -Unknown Monk 1100 A.D.
BunnyGalore my question is, why would you want to be classified as a victim, like why do leftists always want to be classified as victims. Personally it’s not something I want people to think of me, I just don’t know why they want to be thought of as that. Part of being a victim is weak, persecuted, having part of the world against them, beaten down and many other bad characteristics that no one should want themselves to be thought of. Instead people should try to be the opposite, which is strong, courageous, not taking shit, living your life free without objection, etc. Basically what I’m try to say is you shouldn’t try to be a victim as it makes no sense whatsoever
The Rubin Report This is such a wonderful time to be alive. Figures like you, Jp, Shapiro, and others of the like are the reinvigorating force of good the world so desperately needs now. Thank you for your contribution to this wave of positivity.
@S p Jesus cares! your life is NOT a mistake! You can experience life by repenting & trusting Christ's finished work on the cross! Please don't delay, we are not promised tomorrow
I don't know, my depressed ass just saw it as more evidence that life isn't worth living. You're born, everyone celebrates for some reason, then you suffer, then you die. Might as well get it over with. Mephistopheles is sounding correct. "Life is so terrible that it would be better if it didn't exist at all."
@@brendenpischke6060 well if you compute everything like that in a cold calculating way then yeah, it's like useless data, statistics, numbers. Always trying to get the bottom line, sex is to orgasm, eating is to stop being hungry, we live to eventually die. once you know what you want and arent timid to compete for it then life starts to have meaning.
I came to Prager couple years ago to fight with the it's followers.... today I am one of them :) Family-Faith-Service. May you all have wonderful and fruitful lives.
David Lyons And here is the recipe to fix the society: MGTOW in most cases is the right answer to the insane circumstances we are in: you can not blame society for attacking you because of your identity (white male), BUT you can act in a way, which minimizes the chances of being noticed or being blamed. See a woman or girl? Cross the street! This is your contribution to improving YOUR life and the life of all the boys in this world. This is hard, but this is the way to save this civilization. MGTOW.
Very few people realize that it takes a LONG time to get to a good place in life, but it can spiral out of control incredibly quickly. Keep your head up, and keep pushing for the life you truly desire.
blindavocado We don't know each other, and probably never will, but I'm happy for you and your family that you were able to crawl out of that hole and build a new and better life.
"You're Welcome" - Edmonton Too bad 50% of the country's population will never hear his wisdom, or believe the propaganda that they should avoid this "dangerous" speaker. Globe And Mail article today is representative of that kind of non-debate dismissing of a message via lying about the messenger (and his message, actually).
That’s technically wrong, it’s very easy to change other people if you hurt them real bad(physically). And people like Bill gates and Steve did change the world.
@@stello61 yes, but atleast I don't lecture others on fixing themselves and then resort to heavy drug usage because I cannot face the problems I have in life. Its like hypocrisy exemplified. When you turn to drugs to cope with life its far worse than being a whiny little bitch. But its all fine if JBP does, rules dont apply to the people who make them. So let him enjoy his cheap treatment in a Soviet era hospital now run by Ruskie oligarchs.
Well, Jordan is a white man and I have seen him get angry on a few occasions, but that’s ok! His advice is amazing, and I’m sad to say that most of advice _should_ be very obvious! Unfortunately, too many people won’t realize that…
Jesus said: "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye." Matthew 7:5
Yes, they were not kidding when they said that the Bible is the instruction manual for living life. An important aspect of our faith is to acknowledge that we are sinful beings, essentially as mentioned, admitting that "I" am the problem. The path to life begins from there, whether spiritual or physical.
Proclivity to Destroy Leftists We have moral and feelings you know. We are all same with different religion name, God name or none God. We have values that are the same, we don't pray, but take action when needed or asked for advice when you need the help.
@The King of Nature the idea is that what a good man is isn't something very complicated, at least the basics are apparent and don't require deep thought. That is the meaning of the quote.
Not really. JP is promising, but PU tends to be miss informative and manipulative. They're a bit too blind in their dedication to the national and corporate success, over that of a private person, but spin it the other way around. Or do you too believe that Timmy should be cutting his neighbors grass as an actual hired employee, and the minimal wage is standing in the way of his happiness?
He is like a father and a prophet to our generation, full of practical solutions, and genuine care to make our lives truly better. The answer, lies in our own hearts, thoughts, and actions.
@ben taylor - He doesn't have to be perfect...but what makes him great is that he recognizes the need for self-improvement instead of just assuming that he is perfect. His advice is for EVERYONE, including himself.
I love this. Playing the victim keeps you where you are. Looking at how you got to where you are and taking the time to make positive change to yourself is the only way to happiness and long term success.
OhNoItsMicah wrong: there are many ways to put you into plantation, JP has just used one of them on you. Now you will serve your master and will not ask questions about any other way. Here is the other way: MGTOW in most cases is the right answer to the insane circumstances we are in: you can not blame society for attacking you because of your identity (white male), BUT you can act in a way, which minimizes the chances of being noticed or being blamed. See a woman or girl? Cross the street! This is your contribution to improving YOUR life and the life of all the boys in this world. This is hard, but this is the way to save this civilization. MGTOW.
I immediately thought of Jordan Peterson when I saw the title, but was still pleasantly surprised to see him! This video reminds me of Michael Jackson's lyrics: I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
@Richard F. A Kang An 'algorithm' is usually a term used in reference to numerals, math, computing. I believe (but I may be wrong) the term you're looking for is 'syntax'. The word 'your' is possessive, as to denote ownership. "Your attitude is exceptionally condescending for someone with atrocious grammar themselves." Also, the amalgamation of two words, such as 'you are' is known as a contraction. Eg. "You're correcting someone in an exceedingly incorrect manner, and making an ass of yourself in the process." (I'm looking forward to someone scholarly correcting whatever errors exist in my comment actually now, haha.
@S p I won't say I understand exactly what you've experienced, But I know that Jesus loves you & offers salvation if you repent & believe... PLEASE THINK ON THIS, I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR THIS!
S p I don’t know exactly what you’re going through. And I won’t make any religious comments, because that only applies to you if you want it too. But at the very base of humanity and the reason why many people argue we’re put on this earth is to build and develop relationships with friends, family etc. A lot of the time suicidal behavior stems from bad relationships. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this video is introspection. You have to first assess your role in the relationship and go about identifying problems and seeing it through until you find your solutions. It won’t be easy it may take time. But if you can make the relationships in your life work and one day build a family of your own. When you see how you’re perseverance not only brought joy but life to other people, than maybe you’ll understand why life is so precious and every life is worth living.

We've all heard the expression, "Think globally. Act Locally." In this case, act inwardly. Dr. Peterson says it with eloquence and genuine purpose. Always a pleasure to listen to him speak.
Jordan actually scares me a little, because I am guilty of some of these behaviors. I don't like looking in an honest mirror, but he forces me to. That's why I keep watching him. I need that force of someone I respect to keep me focused. I love this man.
I mean I guess good for you but don't let that stop you from trying to help people, take a look at yourself every once in a while but don't forget that what you are doing is to help people, maybe don't throw a brick into the window but also that change never came gradually and without violence.
PragerU, I love all of your videos and I especially appreciate this one. I am going through a bit of a rough patch in my life and this video is what I needed to hear. Thank you so much.
Exactly! Like what Michael Jackson said ---- "I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer. If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change"
@@somedude6683 maybe consider looking at the lyrics? What he said is right, and what you said is wrong. And stop presenting it as a the truth before verifying it. Here are the official lyrics:- "I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Ooh!) I'm asking him to change his ways (Change his ways, ooh!) And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make that (Take a look at yourself and then make that) Change!"
Stop doing the stupid things that you know are bad for you! Dr Peterson helped me a lot and i recommend his online lectures for anyone who is either having a hard time or just wants to be better in general
If you're reading this, and procrastinating, put your phone down or close out your internet browser or RUclips tab, and get to work. Do it right now. Right after you finish reading. Everything else can wait. I'm procrastinating right now and as soon as I click send I'm going to get to work. Let's both do that, yeah? God bless.
Jordan Peterson's a genius. If this is the first time you've heard him I recommend you check out his youtube lectures. He appeared a little flat and monotone in this video, normally he is more animated when he doesn't have a script. He so much to say that's worthwhile, currently zooming through his new book, check it out
I discovered that I was bitter. Since then I've prayed so I could forgive those who hurt me and asked for forgiveness to those I hurt. It did wonders. I'm still healing and fixing myself but I'm happy to say that I'm happy ☺️.
The drugs have wrecked his brain. I've enjoyed seeing how freaking insane he's become... not happy to see that people still think he's an intelligent and rational man though. The dude doesn't even remotely grasp cultural Marxism... or he purposely misrepresents it. Because gotta suck in the conspiracy nuts who want to hate on the shadowy "THEM" aka the jews.
When I heard that voice in the first seconds of the video, all I could think was, "I need to clean my room." Now I have to watch again, because I was too preoccupied with cleaning my room to pay attention.
This might be my favorite Prager U video yet. I agree 100% so long as we are alive and free it's almost never too late to change our way of thinking and begin improving ourselves and our lives. Awesome Video.
I come back to watch this a couple times a year and show it to my loved ones too. I hope this video never goes away. It keeps my head in my shoulders sometimes
Bravo for Prager U, another outstanding speaker distilling 30 years of practice wisdom into simple steps for a better life. There is no teaching, only learning and learning is an individual thing. No disrespect to teachers but as the saying goes “ you can take the horse to the water but can’t make it drink the water. Indeed it is an individuals failure not to better and improve itself. Your gift is only to show them the way.
The words I learnt from this video: - Verbs: Inopportune, deflect, harried, disillusion, suppress, impose, interrrupt - Nouns: Brink, psychiatrist, morality - Adjectives: Inevitable, external, desirable, attentive You don't have to respond this comment. I just want to note the English words I want to learn :-0
I've never heard of Jordan Peterson before that Channel 4 interview. Thanks to that, I've watched hours and hours of his videos. A truly fascinating human being and a growing influence on my very life. Thanks, "So you're saying..." lady.
Excellent topic. My life changed dramatically for the better, when I accepted responsibility for my situation in life and made the necessary changes for the better.
Amen. Professor of mine at university put it very clearly: What is the common factor in all of your problems? You are. You can’t change everyone/everything else. But you CAN change how you respond to them. Embracing this instead of fighting it leads to success. My uncle fights this every day of his life, and he lives in poverty. He can’t improve his situation because “it’s not his fault”. In my case? Embraced the market, embraced the vagaries of life, embraced my personal responsibilities. What happened? Paid off the student loans early. Healthy 401k. New car in the garage now. Happily married. Life sucks and cancer tries to rob me of life. But instead of whining about it and blaming everyone/everything else, asking “how can I best respond to this” has led to even greater success and respect from my peers. Take it from someone who has lived it, in good times and bad. Putting down the pointing finger and working on how you, yourself can respond constructively to the situations at hand WILL make a dramatic improvement in your life.
This was the first time I ever heard Jordan Peterson and this message is for me and it's still for me to this day it is such a great message in Jesus name. Amen
When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

So we don't know who said it....but we know when was it said... Yeah great

I have always said, "Become a victim by chance, remain a victim by choice." I love this man. I need to clean my room.

Great quote! Do you remember where he said/wrote this?
4:29.
"Life is pain. Anybody who tells you differently is selling you something." -Westley
Very Buddhist. (I know he is Christian & this reflection is self-evident or reappears in different philosophies. Still, this vibe resonated with me)
Fled From Nowhere he isn't wrong though
I knew it was JP just by looking at the title. Glad JP finally did a video
Ben Shapiro was in a video too. Maybe we'll see Milo in th future haha, it's a matter of time!

I can't tell you how important this is. I lost 2 houses and a good job and was living on the street as a drug addict before I learned this lesson.
Very few people realize that it takes a LONG time to get to a good place in life, but it can spiral out of control incredibly quickly.
Keep your head up, and keep pushing for the life you truly desire.
With the help of family and friends I have made a new life. I have been steadily employed for over 20 years, married and own a house again.

5s second and I recognize that voice, thank you Mr. Peterson for all your speeches.

I am a simple man. I see Dr Peterson, I upvote.
I pray JBP speedy recovery. His wisdom is needed in today's anarchaic times.
I new the voice right into the video that it was JP, and what a fitting time to have him on PragerU!!!!!
No one else could pack so much wisdom into 5 minutes
We've all heard the expression, "Think globally. Act Locally." In this case, act inwardly. Dr. Peterson says it with eloquence and genuine purpose. Always a pleasure to listen to him speak.
Whenever I hear his assertion, it makes me comfortable and relieve stress. Thanks!
I love Jordan Peterson.
Good idea
For me, he is the greatest mentor that I have encountered ever.
Looks like someone always skip self-help part on the bookstore.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Thank you PragerU and thank you Dr. Peterson. God bless!
Thank you very much! God bless you all!
Expected Peterson by the title, and as soon as the video started a big laugh came out of me. Good to see you!
Same here!
Omg I had exactly the same reaction
As soon as I saw Fix Yourself, I knew it was going to be Peterson.
Understanding this is what qualifies you as an adult. I've met people 50yo+ that I still consider to be children because of this. Awesome video.
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
God bless you, Dr. Peterson and Prager University. Excellent video as always. I will very certainly donate again.
Exactly. You cant make the world a better place until you make yourself a better person. That happens from the inside out. Jesus understood this.
Kristin j.r... 💕 I know.
Love it, thanks Dr Peterson and PragerU !!!
Jordan actually scares me a little, because I am guilty of some of these behaviors. I don't like looking in an honest mirror, but he forces me to. That's why I keep watching him. I need that force of someone I respect to keep me focused. I love this man.
I mean I guess good for you but don't let that stop you from trying to help people, take a look at yourself every once in a while but don't forget that what you are doing is to help people, maybe don't throw a brick into the window but also that change never came gradually and without violence.
PragerU, I love all of your videos and I especially appreciate this one. I am going through a bit of a rough patch in my life and this video is what I needed to hear. Thank you so much.
Exactly! Like what Michael Jackson said ---- "I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer. If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change"
Indeed
Norman Valiao the world only exist because humans perceive it
Chills man chills. This is the perfect words for us millennials
@@somedude6683 maybe consider looking at the lyrics?
What he said is right, and what you said is wrong. And stop presenting it as a the truth before verifying it.
Here are the official lyrics:-
"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways, ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that
(Take a look at yourself and then make that)
Change!"
Norman Valiao is mj still alive
Knew it was going to be Jordan by the title. Love his work. Great advice.
Totally buy 12 rules for life if you can. It's worth it.
DrIBeast i just got mine tonight. I'm binge reading it right now.
Thanks, Jordan. I am doing the laundry now.
Stop doing the stupid things that you know are bad for you!
Dr Peterson helped me a lot and i recommend his online lectures for anyone who is either having a hard time or just wants to be better in general
When I saw the title of the video, I already hoped that I thought who it was, Dr Peterson! Love to see him in a prager u video
With all sincerity, Thank you. I really needed to hear this.
Valeu!
If everyone took this approach we would have a very different world. Love Jordan Peterson and it was great to see him on Prager U.
It's better than that. If you take this approach you will begin to realize that the world already is very different than you thought it was.
Yay! Love seeing Jordan Peterson get around.
I unintentionally watched this while procrastinating on my homework...
Gosh did I feel guilty
Haha that’s great. You feel guilty for not working hard by watching a video about working hard. Oh the irony 😂
LOLZ! Classic
I know that feel
#meetoo
If you're reading this, and procrastinating, put your phone down or close out your internet browser or RUclips tab, and get to work. Do it right now. Right after you finish reading. Everything else can wait. I'm procrastinating right now and as soon as I click send I'm going to get to work. Let's both do that, yeah? God bless.
Simple solutions yet so profound.
Jordan Peterson's a genius. If this is the first time you've heard him I recommend you check out his youtube lectures. He appeared a little flat and monotone in this video, normally he is more animated when he doesn't have a script. He so much to say that's worthwhile, currently zooming through his new book, check it out
JORDAN PETERSON!!!! Prager U just got real (not that it wasn’t before)...!
You knew it was gonna be good the moment you heard which voice was narrating.
True
Great philosophy. Going to watch this again right now to look for what else I can do and where I am blaming others so I can change.
Yes!!! Just when I've been binging Jordan's videos!
Peterson just keeps climbing the dominance hierarchies! ❤
Peterson gotta love him
I discovered that I was bitter. Since then I've prayed so I could forgive those who hurt me and asked for forgiveness to those I hurt. It did wonders. I'm still healing and fixing myself but I'm happy to say that I'm happy ☺️.
Jordan Peterson is back with truth. Preach it Man
😛😛
Ahahaha, I saw the title and thought, "that sounds like something Jordan Peterson would say!" Gotta love that jp and PragerU have teamed up!
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks PragerU and Dr. Peterson.
What a very simplistic view from a naïve person
The drugs have wrecked his brain. I've enjoyed seeing how freaking insane he's become... not happy to see that people still think he's an intelligent and rational man though. The dude doesn't even remotely grasp cultural Marxism... or he purposely misrepresents it. Because gotta suck in the conspiracy nuts who want to hate on the shadowy "THEM" aka the jews.
Everytime I hear this man talk it’s eye opening
When I heard that voice in the first seconds of the video, all I could think was, "I need to clean my room." Now I have to watch again, because I was too preoccupied with cleaning my room to pay attention.
Same here, lol.
This might be my favorite Prager U video yet. I agree 100% so long as we are alive and free it's almost never too late to change our way of thinking and begin improving ourselves and our lives. Awesome Video.
I come back to watch this a couple times a year and show it to my loved ones too. I hope this video never goes away. It keeps my head in my shoulders sometimes
My favorite part of a PragerU video is the first couple seconds when I try to guess who is speaking. I was super happy to hear this voice
Bravo for Prager U, another outstanding speaker distilling 30 years of practice wisdom into simple steps for a better life. There is no teaching, only learning and learning is an individual thing. No disrespect to teachers but as the saying goes “ you can take the horse to the water but can’t make it drink the water. Indeed it is an individuals failure not to better and improve itself. Your gift is only to show them the way.
I'm speechless. I love this video. Thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson. Thank you Prager U.
☺💗🌠💖😎👍💟
Thank God for Dr. Peterson. I am changing myself, and others, by simply paying attention. I wish you all the same.
The words I learnt from this video:
- Verbs: Inopportune, deflect, harried, disillusion, suppress, impose, interrrupt
- Nouns: Brink, psychiatrist, morality
- Adjectives: Inevitable, external, desirable, attentive
You don't have to respond this comment. I just want to note the English words I want to learn :-0
Hoàng Kim Việt Hello Vietnamese person; I'm an American and I love Vietnam!

Good work!
Good job
Good job!
I'm a simple man. I see a Jordan Peterson video, I hit the like button
I'm a simple man. I see a Jordan Peterson video, I hit a lobster.
I've never heard of Jordan Peterson before that Channel 4 interview. Thanks to that, I've watched hours and hours of his videos. A truly fascinating human being and a growing influence on my very life. Thanks, "So you're saying..." lady.
LOL! Well played, Justin Saephan, well played.
Man… so profound! All these ideas I’ve know and wrestled with brought into a single conversation and golden thread! Thank you.
PERFECT person for this video!!!
Oh yes, what a lucky coincidence ;)
David wood!
Ha ha, that's what I was thinking!
Thought you were Acts17Apologetics, aka David Wood, for a moment!
PERFECT PETERSON
Excellent topic. My life changed dramatically for the better, when I accepted responsibility for my situation in life and made the necessary changes for the better.
PragerU is like the Nick Fury for conservatives it brings together all the badasses of our ideology
DRKTROOPER15 Prager is a total fraud. Kahane was Right. He debated Prager and proved him to be nothing more than a liberal
Thank you Professor Peterson
Amen.
Professor of mine at university put it very clearly:
What is the common factor in all of your problems?
You are.
You can’t change everyone/everything else. But you CAN change how you respond to them.
Embracing this instead of fighting it leads to success. My uncle fights this every day of his life, and he lives in poverty. He can’t improve his situation because “it’s not his fault”. In my case? Embraced the market, embraced the vagaries of life, embraced my personal responsibilities. What happened? Paid off the student loans early. Healthy 401k. New car in the garage now. Happily married.
Life sucks and cancer tries to rob me of life. But instead of whining about it and blaming everyone/everything else, asking “how can I best respond to this” has led to even greater success and respect from my peers.
Take it from someone who has lived it, in good times and bad. Putting down the pointing finger and working on how you, yourself can respond constructively to the situations at hand WILL make a dramatic improvement in your life.
How could you possibly not agree with him?
When I heard first sentence I was like wait is that Jordan Peterson? :D
This was the first time I ever heard Jordan Peterson and this message is for me and it's still for me to this day it is such a great message in Jesus name. Amen
