- In this video we will talk about how to be extraordinary from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the main precursors of existentialism and his goal was to pave the way for “Superhuman”, an extraordinary superior and absolutely free man.
Friedrich Nietzsche, through his teachings, wanted people to see the great height of their extraordinary potential and to break the chains which kept them prisoners in order to conquer their true freedom and to help us understand those teachings, here are 10 lessons from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche which can teach you how to be extraordinary -
01. Be an essentialist
02. Be authentic
03. Look for wisdom, not knowledge
04. Put your will into things
05. Love your destiny
06. Never fear failure
07. Always speak your truth
08. Stay connected to nature
09. Be pragmatic
10. Be a dynamite
We hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope this video helps you get closer to being extraordinary.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

Nietsche was 'taking the piss' with autobiographies with that quote, in regard to how they are typically acts of boasting.
Thanks for a gr8 work at first
@@aussiebeermoney1167 hahahahahah,still we can learn from one's boasting!
so.... we are still looking for that Übermensch🤣 ....
Nietz was "extraordinary " all right, an extraordinary atheist who is not burning in Hell because he did not believe in Jesus Christ. So sad.
When I was little my mum used to help me to do my math homework. Everytime I got stuck and started crying that I don't understand she said: ok, go take the trash out. It was 2 min walk outside and 99% of the time when I got back home I knew the solution to my problem. Till
this day everytime I feel stuck or down I go out for a walk.
That was cute, and yes I would do something similar as well
You’re welcome to take my trash out too
😭
I got screamed at and was called a dumb f?#k
😁 yeah it worked for you don't let everyone start taking out trash

“The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche is praising himself here, of course. He so desired the praise and approval of others, yet his social awkwardness meant he could only find solace in denigrating others in his works in order to exalt himself.
@@aussiebeermoney1167 But, the crazy part is, is that those who are not ambitious truly cannot fly with you and even can weigh your wings down if you let it. It's not downgrading if it's inspiring and performing - not a better lever, just a different one.
@@eviebernal2913 maybe it's not that they 'cannot fly' but that they are being annoyingly realistic and holding to you account. Everyone wants to be a rock star in the teens - the smart ones listened to those who might have thought at the time they were having their dreams crushed by people just trying to drag them down.
One of my favorite Nietzsche quotes!
@@aussiebeermoney1167 what are you famous for?
I thought I was too philosophical, different, and alone all my life. I never took a deeper dive into philosophy. And then something or someone brought me here. I don't feel alone anymore. This is amazing.
Thinking
Your mind , whether articulate or chaotic, it's your best friend. Embracing your preprogrammed early self. That MIND is the one I'm referring too. Hope u understand.Neitcha I believe expressed this to me with Zarathustra
I hope you continued your journey friend
Keep it up brother, share the knowledge and aim to gain more. Its funny how Nietsche confuses knowledge and wisdom (In this video) since they cannot exist without eachother. So I would say, make the best wisdom out of your everyday knowledge.
“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Check out UG Krishnamurti if you want your illusions destroyed.
@Mustafa Ali If this isn't irony then I don't know what is.
@Mustafa Ali No, Islamic concept and faith itself is an illusion. Muhammad stole a lot of religious teachings at his time to create his new religion called Islam. He increased the number of followers of his religion by means of war.
@Mustafa Ali I don't think you understand what you are replying to, I was making fun of Muslims believing something because you don't want your illusion destroyed, that's what's ironic. Muslims contributed to science and mathematics, this is taught in European schools don't worry. Your minuscule contribution over a 1,000 years ago is acknowledged, don't stress.

"One must be a sea, to receive a polluted stream without becoming impure" - Nietzsche
Sometimes too many polluted streams make it impossible for the ocean to absorb it all. Thus the only solution is to stop the streams from dumping pollution into it.
One must be an Ocean 🌊 nowadays and still can't handle the amount of pollution a single Wave brings
"He who has a why, can bear almost any how" ― this one brief, yet profound statement from Nietzsche has had a tremendous impact on my life. It captures the most fundamental ingredient in living a life of purpose, which gives you the fuel to endure. I spent over 6+ weeks studying the life of Chadwick Boseman recently and his final years was the essence of Nietzsche's statement. Thanks for sharing this video.
As I've gotten older and have gotten a clearer picture of so-called 'reality', I've set more and more limitations upon myself. I look at statistics about how uncommon certain things are like overcoming certain addictions or getting a certain job or anything that's statistically improbable and think, "I'm not special enough to be an outlier who overcomes the odds. I'm a slave to being all too human, so why even try?" This defeatist mindset has been like being tied down with a ball and chain that has gotten heavier while I've gotten weaker.
However, my New Year's resolution is to be more comfortable with being uncomfortable while being less comfortable with being too comfortable and learning to "embrace the suck" . Most of my life has consisted of finding shortcuts or what the kids call "hacks" that allowed me to exert minimal effort for the maximum rewards. I did the bare minimum (and sometimes cheated I'm ashamed to say) and skated my way through school. I also choose an easy university degree and worked menial jobs with low barriers to entry. This constant search for efficiency and following the path of easiness may be helpful in certain circumstances, but if applied to nearly all aspects of life, you end up as a slothful idling blob who lays about in indolence.
For about a month now, I've been running fairly consistently and am on a streak that's super rare for me. Whenever I suffer the pain of running during near maximal effort and tempted to stop or walk, I keep reminding myself to embrace the suck and to be mindful of how running will pay great dividends. Cold showers and ice baths are things I also plan on working my way up to. I think living a safe and relatively easy life made be soft, so it's imperative to introduce some beneficial and controlled stress in my life. Controlled stress could also provide physiological benefits that uplift my mood, reduce inflammation, strengthen my immune system, etc. I used to powerlift and go to the gym 3-4 days a week prior to the covid pandemic, so a major source of beneficial stress vanished, which caused me to wither away mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Procrastination is major issue I'm working on, which has tormented me most of my life. It's weird how it's physically easy to do the things that my laziness perceives as painful and how the pain of overcoming laziness can feel worse than physical pain. A major source of procrastination is surfing the internet, especially on my dopamine-flooding and time-wasting laptop. I'm seriously considering getting rid of my laptop and making do with my old smartphone. The withdrawals and void left by not being able to get a dopamine fix from my laptop will hopefully compel me to get that fix in healthier and more productive (not drugs!) ways like reading, doing a major cleaning purge of my apartment and maintaining a high level of cleanliness and orderliness instead of allowing it to fall into a mess of chaos, being more active outside, socializing in-person much more frequently, finally getting my passport, studying for my personal training certificate, and many other things I've been putting off out of my laptop-induced procrastination.
Anyhow, thank you for mentioning that profound Nietzsche quote and inspiring me to continually take inventory of my life and strengthening my resolve to overcome setbacks and follow through with my goals!
@@jzen1455 thanks for sharing this. It’s inspiring. The most difficult step I’ve found is acknowledging that you want to be better and having the will to act. Looks like things are going well, keep it up and more importantly keep it sustainable, don’t burn out. I always try to remind myself in the midst of a difficult pursuit that greatness lies on the other side of suffering. Having a purpose to keep you going can be an inextinguishable fuel. Keep up the good fight!
I cannot find a why for myself.
It's a great simple quote
@@someonesomeone25 Did I help you with my explanation?If you liked my videos in youtube and my profiles'let me know
I learned to love & accept myself, all thanks to Nietzsche's teachings.
I have sent this video to all my art students. The results were astonishing. Some of them dropped out in spite of their parents’ pleas , the remaining ones achieved impossible. Rose tow levels up in a couple of weeks and are still rising ... ( each term is supposed to bring the student’s skills one level up).
Thank you infinitely . We all are in your debt. I.R.
Authenticity is hard to come by these days, I feel like that’s a definitely deserving trait to be on this list.
What does that even mean? You are a product of your environment. Always changing along with it.
@@daithiocinnsealach3173 it means that you should stand your ground when it comes to your values.
@@daithiocinnsealach3173 When your values are in alignment with your actions.
Authenticity is a great trait to have; however, being authentic, genuine and/or truthful comes with its own baggage in today’s society. When people say they want authenticity, they only want it when it’s doesn’t hurt their feelings. A true authentic person would probably have a difficult time in building relationships, as most people do not want the authentic truth; rather they want politeness and agreeableness sprinkled with authenticity. Truth be told there are authentic people out there, they are considered “a$$holes” or “weird”.
@@TheObsidianLogic There are times where, being authentic may create barriers, but being an asshole just because being authentic might be a stretch. You might feel that people who are more assertive are authentic, but you might be authentically non-assertive. You might be driven in thinking authenticity and assertively walk hand-in-hand. But sometimes being authentic is just being you anytime-anywhere, wherever and whoever you are I guess.
I don't disagree with you, but because I'm an assertive individual (at least I've been proven by many situations I am).
“Or even the world at large, or even the world at large” 😩😩 so inspirational
His life just made me sad as he is one of the people I idolize in the history and reading about his constant suffering his whole life and eventually losing his sanity is just heartbreaking. 💔
As it says there's a thin line between being genius and having a mental illness.
If I had to imagine- he lost the will to fight… just got tired and old. Couldn’t do it anymore.
We studied Nietzsche in my Philosophy class in college. Even though I signed up for it, I was young, & a lot of it went ovr my head, but 2day, I do believe & live by many of these outlooks. It's wisdom at it's finest. Still have the 📚 almost 30 yrs later.
And wil have for300 more✌
It's such a mind-blowing realization to accept that lil ole me can embody philosophical theories of some of the worlds greatest minds. I'm currently in Louisiana, dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, and this whole experience is one big experiment for me. My family has been bewildered by my sense of calm and desire for solitude while they congregate in one room, to sit in silence while playing on their cellphones. And they think I'm the weird one!?!? lmao
Friedrich Nietzsche, interesting how his life was so short and racked with emotional anxiety. And his works are now World renowned. And often very difficult to understand.
He who sees the abyss, but with eagle's eyes,- he who with eagle's talons grasps the abyss: he has courage. -Nietzsche
I think this is the most important video I have watched in my life
🙏🏽🕊
As humans, we have evolved to maintain the status quo and stay in our comfort zones, however, in order to live the lives we want to live, it's essential to go beyond that, remain authentic and to persevere through all obstacles and challenges.
Yes, the majority will remain in their comfort zones. It's the small percentage of outliers who contribute to major changes for the good or bad. Not everyone can be extraordinary statistically speaking.
@@jzen1455 True. It's a little sad to think about it but if everyone were extraordinary, no one would be extraordinary, you know what I mean?
I would say it’s somewhat the opposite most people are not in their comfort zone they just live in an illusion that they are in fact most people are leaving extremely difficult and hard-working lives they are running in circles with the belief that there is an end to it and assume they will be able to sail off into the sunset once they retire at the age of 70 and are basically almost dead.
The vast majority of people are so stuck in poor financial decisions that appear normal and actually a sign of success such as having a mortgage and a car payment insurance retirement plan a family without any sort of money to support it before you even start it and other money draining decisions That force them to work 50 hours a week and ensure that they have no time to think for themselves or ever think for a way out of that situation. The house is literally a wooden structure that protects you from the wind and gives you a place to sleep and cook food yet people are willing and think it’s completely normal to pay 300,000 if not most of the time after interest rates around $1 million if we include taxes.
Because people are so afraid of being judged and too lazy to find alternatives in life they are essentially demented herd animals forever running in a circle never growing and just existing to exist.
When I was made to mask up at my job. I had the creepy suspicion it was a scam. I was half in half out. When a domineering fellow employee said cover your whole nose and my glasses fogged up my vision. It seemed the perfect metaphor. She said...those are the Rules. I said, sometimes the rules are wrong!!. I put it on my nose ,but felt I schooled her. That was halfway thru this . Take it or lose your job nonsense
I’m constantly conducting these concepts but still feel grateful finding myself in accordance with the great minds.
thanks for this wonderful episode!
Totally awesome, thank you for creating this!

I loved philosophy in generally and discovered that in my youth. Now, listening your compilation on Nietzsche, being in age beyond 80, realized that his philosophy of life the closest to my mind and my heart.
Love this….Thanks for sharing…..

Especially about self-ownership and how that helps prevent feelings of victimization. ✨
EXTRAordinary video. Thank you!
Damn dude this may be the most applicable take on nietzsche I've ever heard. Very fair as well...well done
Thank you. Many of these thoughts confirm my beliefs and decisions I've made. Living my story not others.

I appreciate these Nietzsche videos so, soooooo much.
A teacher once asked me to show him an example of a paradigm.
So I gave him twenty cents.
Tysm..❤️💓 Sir, for this useful and productive wisdom video .. ❤️🌸
I tried reading his books. Let's just say I'm glad you've condensed them into a video.
Thank you for the video and introducing me to this philosopher. I had never heard of him. Great concepts.
This channel is indeed a treasure box!!!
Very, very good. Touching, I wish I could have met this man. A man for the people should be the leader.
Be super careful when you become super human... Or even half way there, people will hate you so much.
They are thretened by your light, freedom, knowledge.....
The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who can’t fly.
- Nietzsche
So what if others hate you..maybe we should learn to be comfortable with ourselves.
What’s superhuman becoming like a god right and god himself said in Shri Guru Granth Sahib that a person who has some specific traits of humanity is also no less than a god bu5 living at that standards requires ur full attention until u r another ready u can’t achieve anything no matter what and this goes for all the obstacles u see as hurdles in ur life just to make u more strong and familiar with that shit
Better than hating myself
Thank you very much!
I will never be the same after listening to this -:))
Start to be authentic in life👍👍
Darn good thinking, this guy did. I've been following this philosophy for a while, on my own. Now I know that it's not a bad way to live. At least, for myself.
Thanks Sir .this is amazing video
Brilliant , marvelous ideas
Thanks for sharing the video
This is such a great channel!
THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST!!! Thank you so much! A flower for you 🌹

Very Sincerely thanks from Vietnam, I love all your videos and and love Friedrich Nietzsche also. hope you there with heathy and happiness at alway. See you in somewhere .
1. Be an essentialist. Whats really important, true ans essential. Be less concerned with the mundane. Declutter your life. Throw away things that do not represent you. Throw away pp that dont add value. Throw away a career that doesnt represent you. Don't do things to impress ppl. Have high goals, high priorities. This is essential to living an extraordinary life.
2. Be authentic. Shun the herd mentality. Own yourself, become free and authentic. Confidence comes with Self- discovery. Start to say no to ppl so as to own the person you really have. Start a fight to regain your freedom.
3. Look for wisdom, not Knowledge.
Wisdom is gathered from day to day experiences. Knowledge is gained from books. Write a list on what kind of knowledge you need. Seek only high quality knowledge, relevant to your goals in life.
4. Put your will in things. Gain real will- power to do things. Create your own values. Get freedom from systems that bind your spirit, intellect and agency.
5. Love your destiny. Amor Fati. Love for one' s fate. Reaffirm life as it is. Look at your existence with a deep understanding. Live your life according to your passions and personality. Be aware of life to experience it. Do not regret, lament your past, or grieve over.the dead. Look at life not for happiness, bit as a constant process of self discovery. Practice meditation regularly.
5. Never fear failure. Be prepared to burn in your own flame. You must first be ashes. Be resilient. Never yield. Anyone who wants to achieve sth extraordinary in life should not be debilitated by fear.
6. Always speak your truth. The world cherishes them who speak the truth. Speak it, no matter how shocking. To be extraordinary, you must have the courage to speak extraordinary truths.
Experience things rather than make excuses. Part of what makes life enjoyable is the experiences you have...
And what if I don’t want to experience
And what if I don't wanna excuse.
Absolute definitive info film - This will help so many people amid the chaos now..... Highly recommended :)

You ARE dynamite, Friedrich. Wow...
Oh! Beautiful
This excellent lecture about the philsophy of Nietzsche made me reflect how far I am away from being a "Superhuman" (could we also say "Superman" or "Superwoman"?). Actually I am living according to essentialism, a few years ago I started to free myself from all things and persons which were not essential for me and who constrained me from becoming the autentic person who I think I am now. But from my own experience I also know that in order to become really authentic in the sense of realizing our whole potential, sometimes we might need the inspiration of a good friend who gives us a kick into the right direction.
Wisdom has always been more important to me than knowledge. Often I am lacking basic knowledge of things "one should know", but I ask myself "why should I know them"? Also I avoid being a slave of my environment by not follwing mainstream behaviour. I have indeed a strong will and face reality as it is. Actually I have often asked myself whether I have a free will and I don't think so. But I feel free to accept my destiny and make the best out of it. I also recognize myself in all the other points mentioned here. For example, running in nature is often the best way for me to free my mind so that new ideas can pop up. I'm not sure whether I am something like "dynamite", but indeed most of the time I feel full of energy and joy in my mind.
your thoughts should also always start from the point and understanding that 99.9999% of the people around you are ignorant and EVERYONE is a victim of the country, economy, society, culture AND THOUGHTS you grew up with, and there are only a few who can put themselfs above that. those thoughts alone should make you happy, and make you understand each individual, "people's reach of understanding" things as a whole is almost none existing.... all they se is (for them alone what is wrong and correct) once u can understand this, u can stop working on urself, and start working for others.
awsome comentary nicely articulated thank you
Awesome
