Some questions I have about this: 1) What about the races that are necessary for one to take part in, like acquiring money or being a good parent? If we accept that the necessity to take part in some races exists, doesn't that eventually lead to every person being ranked at the same race, making some winners and others losers? 2) Also, what do you have to say about the relative 'importance' of some races over others? Surely some races must be more important than others (at least when we look at it from what society marks as 'important'). So if it matters more to take part in some races, how can it even be regarded as sane for one to argue that 'okay I might not be a winner in being good at relationships, but I am a winner in enjoying the taste of fruit'...? As you mentioned in this video, society has a tendency to focus more on some races over others which it perhaps has ranked as more important. Should we just ignore this 'social importance' given to some aspects of life? Aren't the results of some races, like social acceptance and admiration, better than the results of other races? - From a big supporter of the channel. Thanks for your amazing content!
I have a question on courage. Is it malleable or is it innate. What i mean by that is is it a developable virtue or is it like u either have it or u don't.(specially on things we are not familiar with). I would really appreciate your response.
strange subtitle in this video says "around thoughtful but underconfident three year old children" and the voice doesn't say "thoughtful but underconfident" !
Funny fact, Hitler was told the same by a doctor to boost his ego and recover from his injuries during WW1. Look what happened. These empty quotes don't help anyone.
@@jomo2483 As much as I would love to derive wisdom from somebody with your username, I have to point out the flaw in your logic. If you are saying this quote had a hand in making Hitler into what he became, then it is hard to deny how effective the quote is right? I mean he is universally hated, but you can't deny that he did some major things. Yeah he died in the end and lost the war and some of the decisions he made may qualify him as deluded or even evil (though I doubt anybody sees themselves that way). But it did not make him a 'loser'. He was not sitting at home letting life pass him by, he saw a situation he wanted to change and tried to change it, he will be recorded in history long after we are all dead. You cannot call somebody a loser for trying and failing, a loser is somebody who never tries to begin with. Or of course you could be saying the quote is pointless and had nothing to do with Hitler. But then one wonders why you decided to weigh in here at all then.
@@omniscientomnipresent5500 I think given context we are all identical or unique, it just depends what you choose to focus on. But I do get your point and it does indeed seem that way many times.
"If one cannot be a winner at everything, then is it safe to say that one cannot also be a loser at everything." Most comforting words I have ever heard..
Personally I thought this statement was a non-sequiter. It's obvious that we can't win everything as the video describes, but this has nothing to do with the idea that no matter who we are or what we do we must always be winning at something or other, that is a completely different assertion for which the video provides no evidence or arguments at all. It makes about as much sense as saying that being a loser is a form of winning, which sounds a lot like toxic positivity to me.
Unfortunately, today's society has been pushing us to evaluate our values according to financial accomplishments and productivity, sitting aside what makes us a human society like empathy, collaburation and trust. This actually creats more distance between successful narcissists and ambitious people who want to add a real meaning to our lives.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself how do you treat others? If with kindness, compassion, respect and justice, then you’re not a loser. No matter how you feel or what others may say.
Before the video starts I will say half sarcastically half seriously you become a winner only when you no longer give a damn when people call you a loser or you stop feeling that you yourself are a loser.
I concur and would say that goes for both labels -- winner or loser. Once you start making those an issue at all, whether they come from others or yourself, you've already "lost"/missed the point.
@@Abdulrahman11717 theres a difference between sane levels of caring how you are perceived so that everyone doesn't avoid you and caring whether people think you are a winner or a loser at certain parts of life.

I mean that's a nice thought but doesn't really help someone who actually feels like a loser. This video shows a viewpoint that most people have not seen, but they've definitely heard ‘don't compare yourself to others!!!!!’ before; easier said than done!
@@idoneakw9996 Of course it's easier said than done. If it wasn't, so many people wouldn't struggle with it. That, however, doesn't change the fact that if your end goal is self-acceptance, focusing on the accomplishments of others is the wrong way to go about it. We're all unique individuals with unique experiences and unique capabilities, and being upset that you haven't achieved what others have is like a hippo being upset that it can't run as fast as a cheetah. I mean, you're talking to someone who, by society's standards, is a complete and total loser. From the time I was 15 to when I was 30, I struggled to function on a basic level. Even at age 41, I'm still barely able to work 15 hours a week, and I have to to things most people don't just to accomplish that. But none of that means that I haven't accomplished anything or that I haven't made great strides in who I am as a person. If I was to worry about how I stacked up to everyone else, I'd be miserable. So, it's like I said, life is not about how you compare to others. It's about accepting what you have and realizing that your position is unique to you. It may seem cliche, but true acceptance DOES come from within, not worrying about what others are doing.
In Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, he uses almost the exact same analogy in Rule 4: Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. Comparison to the "winners", as you say, is meaningless and a hindrance to personal growth. Because personal growth is, well, personal, and only you yourself can determine if you are going to be a winner or loser.
The School of Life makes you feel better about yourself that’s why it’s so successful. You can be a loser but then watch this video and say “well at least I’m a good friend” when the reality is your friends are probably more successful than you and don’t care much for you in return.

You're not a loser, my friend. We live in a world where money is everything. Money is an illusion. The only reason you live with your parents is probably because you don't have enough money to afford your own home, right? That doesn't make you a loser. Many people live at home now because it's too bloody expensive to find affordable housing. Don't be hard on yourself because of that.

Amazing video! I realized I did not succeded in sports (football and racquetball) as I wanted. I grew in a poor city and I did not get support form my parents. Now at age 30 I had the opportunity to play racquetball in a club and in the club was the number 7 in the world, and I realised that he had all the support form his family from childhood, his father was obsessed with the sport and he had to give up on many things in life to be able to succeed in sports. I succeded in moving to another continent, becoming independent, learning languages, be able to sleep well, and also succeded in other fields.
Everyone wants to be the most successful, financial secure, popular, vanity built and greediest.. Sure life is about being satisfied and being the best person you can be.. Everyone is a wannabe and that’s all they’ll be until they let that Ego rest and realise.. Be the best you you can be, be a good person!
@@ancoraspot what the fuck I'm obviously talking about a very specific situation. Are we under the same comment? That's like if I said I was Asian under a comment talking about Asians and then you come in and say "You are a human". Yes. Thank you.
I think the only way to feel truly happy and fulfilled is to decide whats important you, work towards that and refuse to compare yourself to anyone but yourself.
This fantastic video once again reminds me that in our world there is so much depression, anxiety, angriness, hostility.... for no reason whatsoever. Why is our society so rotten? Just how did we, despite all the progress, got it so wrong?
I heard about Alain Dr Botton way back 20years ago, when he made a series about historical philosophers, where he interviews other professors and etc.. I was about 14yo and I took notes of each series, he broke it down so well and keep it interesting until the very end. So much respect for him, and those notes kept me grounded throughout life.... thanks Alain ✌
"There's a race of who can become kindest to children. There's a race measuring how gifted someone is at friendship... There are races focused on how attentive someone is to the evening sky."
I'm a loser at 32yo with no job, still being a student. I never wanted that. But I kind of failed to move on. No money. No perspective. How can I not feel like a failure, if I'm not able to take care of myself?
Often people destroy the winners because they dont like to be near someone that is better then they are and makes them feel inadequate So being a winner is not the solution But being a loser might at least free you from the expectations of others
I believe the only thing that is important is the law of attraction. If you tell yourself you are a winner, you will become one. Btw thank you guys from the school of life, you’ve inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel! Keep going!🤗❤️
As an engineer, we strive to make approximations to such a complex world through the use of linear equations. And in-so-doing we are well aware that life is a nonlinear mess of events. So these winner/loser categorizations are a dreadfully narrow generalization of human beings and their extraordinary differences.
I'm sorry but I chuckled bitterly at the ending because it's giving a child being sad and disappointed because they finished the race last by an embarrassingly huge margin and their parents swooping in telling the kid to just make up the prize and pretend it's equally as important 😭
Why consider LIFE a Race at all? Because we are all born into different circumstances, some are born poor some rich, some healthy some with defects, some with great parents, and there are some who don't even remember how their parents looked like because they died early. I can go on but you got the point. In a race circumstances for every participant are same e.g the ground is same for all, the time limit is KNOWN and same for all, they all have a same finishing line but in life we dont't have such fairness . We all have our goals and we can achieve them without calling ourselves a Race Participant. In the race, you can't help others to succeed, but in life you CAN. ! So let's call life a wonderful journey we are all supposed to enjoy together and not a race where everybody is for himself.
Todays winners , in the current world arena Idid not get gold for being loving ,kind , gentle , compassionate and honest . Today’s winners are living comfortably only through financial stability that affords a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Todays winners did not volunteer their Time or give away without a price or any expectations .. The only reason I got gold was a life time of practice , but in actual fact I’m the biggest loser , I have nothing .. And it’s just been confirmed by the fact I just watched why am I a loser ,, no winners are reading this…,
I may still struggle a bit in being super confident in myself, but I know that I win in kindness and lovingness 🤗💪🏼 Besides every time I have a hard time being confident, I am given a chance to practice confidence and understand what difficulty is it that I have. So I'm always given a chance to either win, or practice more
Great video, School of Life :) growing up, my race was educational prestige. After getting ruthlessly rejected, I wallowed in my failure for a good while (and honestly, still do sometimes) before finding my way to other racetracks that have since eased my mind & heart :')
You know, it’s easy to look at the world and wallow in all that is wrong, but, to an extent, we can also just sit back, appreciate what is immediately around us, and get lost in our thoughts. And we can realize that life is not so bad, or so serious, after all. We can pick our own priorities, goals and races...
I have many successes in my life, and yet I still feel like a failure. I need someone to tell me that I'm not a failure and that my life has enough value that I should never consider ending it
For friends out there who feel like losers, here are some ideas and resources that can change the way you look at yourself : 1. For most of us, there is a gap between where we are in life and where we think we should be. A feeling that our efforts are never enough, accompanied with a choir of negative voices in our head. What we could do in those moments is just to stop and ask ourselves this one simple question: " Is this thought useful?" We all have the sad capacity to ruin every single moment of our lives, wishing for that moment to be different! It is a very unwise and unhealthy way of living. Instead we could say that we did what we could with what we had. This insight doesn't make you lazy at all. It makes you more serene, more enthusiastic and more motivated about becoming a better human being. Not from a place of self loathing, but from a place of self care and compassion. 2. If you are the kind of person who is always restless and can't stop working, the question is this: Are you running that fast because you are afraid and you are running away from something? Or are you running towards something because it is beautiful and inspiring and that's where your motivation comes from? The intention changes everything because if it is the latter, whether you succeed or not, you won't feel like a loser, but rather like a traveller in the wonderful poem " Ithaka" written by Kavafis. I highly recommend reading it every now and then. 3. Observing people who are extremely successful is very interesting too. If you won't get there anyhow, you can at least see what " being them" must feel like to them. I remember a very interesting documentary called " Bloody daughter" about the legendary Martha Argerich , one of the best piano players of all times! That woman probably never played a single wrong note in her life and all of her concerts and wonderful recordings were an enormous success. But in the documentary you'll realise that she suffers just as much as anybody else, from all sorts of anxieties. In one scene you'll see her complaining to her manager saying that her life between concert halls, airports and hotel rooms is so very "mediocre".... Or take the famous Rodney Mullen, " the godfather of street skating" , the writer of the book "The Mutt: How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself" . He won so many world skating contexts but in the end this is what he had to say: "I want peace. Defending the title is slavery, success is illusive". The movie " Raging Bull" by Scorsese, a masterpiece, that tells us the story of the world middleweight champion boxer Jake Lamotta ( Robert de Niro ) is also a great example. 4. When it comes to winning and losing, one very helpful insight is this: "what really counts is not the "outcome" but our efforts and our persistence".I have learnt this from a wonderful TED Speech by Carol Dweck called " The power of believing that you can improve". She was also invited to give a speech at TSOL. You can find it on youtube. I love the fact that she is talking mainly about " the process and the engagement" rather than being obsessed by success as the only possible result. It may sound paradoxical, but as you will see in that speech, this humble approach leads to more success indeed... Thank you for this very valuable lesson!
Oooh, no me gusta. The use of the terms "winners" and "losers" at all keeps us in a race mindset and thinking that there are all kinds of goals to achieve and feel good/bad about reaching or not reaching. I felt a knot in my stomach the whole time watching this. "Winning" at one race after we "lose" at another should give us no real comfort, because it means we're still judging ourselves (and others) unfairly and holding tightly onto the idea that we need to constantly be "doing" during life. I understand where they were going with the underlying message of the video, but it was a poor choice to keep the win/lose metaphor going, in my opinion.
A display of more noble rewards for winners can be seen here. (You can indeed read "winner" in place of "blessed" without damage to the Truth expressed in this excerpt): "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3-10)

I don't want to feel useless and a loser, but I can't stop this. This feeling gets very strong especially when I fail...
Building multiple streams of Income is exactly what everyone should be pursuing right now.
As the economy crises keep rising, one needs to have different streams of Income, one needs to have diversified portfolio in order to survive.
Multiple sources of Income is the best way to go.
Having one stream of Incomes are super insecure.
Stocks are good but I swapped into cryptocurrency and forex trading and I have been making good profits.
Yeah, Cryptocurrency is really profitable when it comes in investing.

Brain: wanna be a winner at depression?
Someone brought me to this channel through a tweet, and I am gald she did.
Amazing video! I realized I did not succeded in sports (football and racquetball) as I wanted. I grew in a poor city and I did not get support form my parents. Now at age 30 I had the opportunity to play racquetball in a club and in the club was the number 7 in the world, and I realised that he had all the support form his family from childhood, his father was obsessed with the sport and he had to give up on many things in life to be able to succeed in sports. I succeded in moving to another continent, becoming independent, learning languages, be able to sleep well, and also succeded in other fields.
Everyone wants to be the most successful, financial secure, popular, vanity built and greediest..
Sure life is about being satisfied and being the best person you can be.. Everyone is a wannabe and that’s all they’ll be until they let that Ego rest and realise.. Be the best you you can be, be a good person!

That's like if I said I was Asian under a comment talking about Asians and then you come in and say "You are a human". Yes. Thank you.
Im a winner at hating my life and being utterly useless
What a wonderfully animated video. ❤ Love the message Alain is sharing.
"Are you winning son?"
Oh my goodness. 😆 This is the best comment. 💯
It *is* possible to be a loser at everything. You're smart enough to know that.
Step 1 to find out if you're a loser:
*LET A RANDOM PERSON ON THE INTERNET DECIDE THAT FOR YOU.*
Jokes aside, another great video!
"You're a clown, Lawrence!"

I think the only way to feel truly happy and fulfilled is to decide whats important you, work towards that and refuse to compare yourself to anyone but yourself.
This fantastic video once again reminds me that in our world there is so much depression, anxiety, angriness, hostility.... for no reason whatsoever. Why is our society so rotten? Just how did we, despite all the progress, got it so wrong?
@mz. white - nelligan sadly u'r right
I heard about Alain Dr Botton way back 20years ago, when he made a series about historical philosophers, where he interviews other professors and etc.. I was about 14yo and I took notes of each series, he broke it down so well and keep it interesting until the very end. So much respect for him, and those notes kept me grounded throughout life.... thanks Alain ✌
Man the animation quality is damn good!
Well, it appears I watched this 2 years ago. I can see myself coming back here again and again desperately never finding an answer.
Everyone can be a winner. No one will appreciate every winner.
"There's a race of who can become kindest to children.
There's a race measuring how gifted someone is at friendship...
There are races focused on how attentive someone is to the evening sky."
I'm a loser at 32yo with no job, still being a student. I never wanted that. But I kind of failed to move on. No money. No perspective. How can I not feel like a failure, if I'm not able to take care of myself?
Often people destroy the winners because they dont like to be near someone that is better then they are and makes them feel inadequate
So being a winner is not the solution
But being a loser might at least free you from the expectations of others
I believe the only thing that is important is the law of attraction. If you tell yourself you are a winner, you will become one. Btw thank you guys from the school of life, you’ve inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel! Keep going!🤗❤️
At which race?
I attract mosquitos
Yet, in any context, when someone ask whether someone is successful, everyone suddenly knows what that means.
hi pls reply to me :D
Now I feel like a loser in every competition
As an engineer, we strive to make approximations to such a complex world through the use of linear equations. And in-so-doing we are well aware that life is a nonlinear mess of events. So these winner/loser categorizations are a dreadfully narrow generalization of human beings and their extraordinary differences.
You are the only trustworthy person on earth. It is now time to begin living in full and constant harmony with what you respect.
The stop motion of this video is so good. The animators are doing an excellent work
I'm sorry but I chuckled bitterly at the ending because it's giving a child being sad and disappointed because they finished the race last by an embarrassingly huge margin and their parents swooping in telling the kid to just make up the prize and pretend it's equally as important 😭
This is the best animation of all your videos. Please, do more of this kind
My adult children still come around to see me. I did something right.😍🤗
Why consider LIFE a Race at all? Because we are all born into different circumstances, some are born poor some rich, some healthy some with defects, some with great parents, and there are some who don't even remember how their parents looked like because they died early. I can go on but you got the point.
In a race circumstances for every participant are same e.g the ground is same for all, the time limit is KNOWN and same for all, they all have a same finishing line but in life we dont't have such fairness .
We all have our goals and we can achieve them without calling ourselves a Race Participant.
In the race, you can't help others to succeed, but in life you CAN. !
So let's call life a wonderful journey we are all supposed to enjoy together and not a race where everybody is for himself.
In reality there's no such title that makes you a winner, because the attributes are to the title and not you personally. Awm
School of Life: you are not a loser
Me: Hold my loses
Failing professionally, but at least I'm winning in appreciating autumn figs.
I didn't learn the term 'loser' to describe a human (outside of track & field events) until I was in college. Ignorance was bliss!
BEING A LOSER COMES FROM COMPARISON WITH OTHERS🍀
Todays winners , in the current world arena Idid not get gold for being loving ,kind , gentle , compassionate and honest .
Today’s winners are living comfortably only through financial stability that affords a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Todays winners did not volunteer their Time or give away without a price or any expectations .. The only reason I got gold was a life time of practice , but in actual fact I’m the biggest loser , I have nothing ..
And it’s just been confirmed by the fact I just watched why am I a loser ,, no winners are reading this…,
I may still struggle a bit in being super confident in myself, but I know that I win in kindness and lovingness 🤗💪🏼
Besides every time I have a hard time being confident, I am given a chance to practice confidence and understand what difficulty is it that I have.
So I'm always given a chance to either win, or practice more
Did we all search for this video instead of finding it in the recommendations?
I'm a loser but I can still win at learning to love myself cause nobody else will 😎
Great video, School of Life :) growing up, my race was educational prestige. After getting ruthlessly rejected, I wallowed in my failure for a good while (and honestly, still do sometimes) before finding my way to other racetracks that have since eased my mind & heart :')
I believe that winning is a perspective. It comes from a spiritual outlook and is focuses with the mind of Christ.
I needed to hear this, times in my life where I thought I was a loser causing I was focusing on the thing I’m not good at.
You know, it’s easy to look at the world and wallow in all that is wrong, but, to an extent, we can also just sit back, appreciate what is immediately around us, and get lost in our thoughts. And we can realize that life is not so bad, or so serious, after all. We can pick our own priorities, goals and races...
I have many successes in my life, and yet I still feel like a failure. I need someone to tell me that I'm not a failure and that my life has enough value that I should never consider ending it
If you lose graciously, you are a winner.
During 4 minute video: Oh I am not a looser!
After that: Carries on to default self-loathing.
Constantly reminding myself that life is not a competition. Wish I would have realized it sooner.
How very beautiful and calming. This video brought me peace. Anyone else?
🖐️helped me relax. That's why I watched it on the toilet. TSOL Really loosens up the movements
For friends out there who feel like losers, here are some ideas and resources that can change the way you look at yourself :
1. For most of us, there is a gap between where we are in life and where we think we should be. A feeling that our efforts are never enough, accompanied with a choir of negative voices in our head. What we could do in those moments is just to stop and ask ourselves this one simple question:
" Is this thought useful?"
We all have the sad capacity to ruin every single moment of our lives, wishing for that moment to be different! It is a very unwise and unhealthy way of living.
Instead we could say that we did what we could with what we had. This insight doesn't make you lazy at all. It makes you more serene, more enthusiastic and more motivated about becoming a better human being. Not from a place of self loathing, but from a place of self care and compassion.
2. If you are the kind of person who is always restless and can't stop working, the question is this:
Are you running that fast because you are afraid and you are running away from something? Or are you running towards something because it is beautiful and inspiring and that's where your motivation comes from? The intention changes everything because if it is the latter, whether you succeed or not, you won't feel like a loser, but rather like a traveller in the wonderful poem " Ithaka" written by Kavafis. I highly recommend reading it every now and then.
3. Observing people who are extremely successful is very interesting too. If you won't get there anyhow, you can at least see what " being them" must feel like to them.
I remember a very interesting documentary called " Bloody daughter" about the legendary Martha Argerich , one of the best piano players of all times! That woman probably never played a single wrong note in her life and all of her concerts and wonderful recordings were an enormous success. But in the documentary you'll realise that she suffers just as much as anybody else, from all sorts of anxieties. In one scene you'll see her complaining to her manager saying that her life between concert halls, airports and hotel rooms is so very "mediocre"....
Or take the famous Rodney Mullen, " the godfather of street skating" , the writer of the book "The Mutt: How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself" . He won so many world skating contexts but in the end this is what he had to say:
"I want peace. Defending the title is slavery, success is illusive".
The movie " Raging Bull" by Scorsese, a masterpiece, that tells us the story of the world middleweight champion boxer Jake Lamotta ( Robert de Niro ) is also a great example.
4. When it comes to winning and losing, one very helpful insight is this: "what really counts is not the "outcome" but our efforts and our persistence".I have learnt this from a wonderful TED Speech by Carol Dweck called " The power of believing that you can improve". She was also invited to give a speech at TSOL. You can find it on youtube. I love the fact that she is talking mainly about " the process and the engagement" rather than being obsessed by success as the only possible result. It may sound paradoxical, but as you will see in that speech, this humble approach leads to more success indeed...
Thank you for this very valuable lesson!
Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

Oooh, no me gusta. The use of the terms "winners" and "losers" at all keeps us in a race mindset and thinking that there are all kinds of goals to achieve and feel good/bad about reaching or not reaching. I felt a knot in my stomach the whole time watching this. "Winning" at one race after we "lose" at another should give us no real comfort, because it means we're still judging ourselves (and others) unfairly and holding tightly onto the idea that we need to constantly be "doing" during life. I understand where they were going with the underlying message of the video, but it was a poor choice to keep the win/lose metaphor going, in my opinion.
Its all to keep everybody runnin in the same machine & slaving for the elites. Gotta go off-the-grid & live life your way
would like Buddhist practices.
agreed.
This channel is the reason why I am alive. Thank you💕
A display of more noble rewards for winners can be seen here.
(You can indeed read "winner" in place of "blessed" without damage to the Truth expressed in this excerpt):
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:3-10)
If you continuously compete with others, you become bitter, but if you continuously compete with yourself, you become better.
Lies. I've been competing with my self for years and that bastard hasn't let me win one time yet. Apparently I'm a real dick.
