"I see young people stepping on a flag, throwing rocks, rioting that's frustration, frustration, its frustration with the establishment" This guy said that 3 years ago and it is coming up right now in time, its inspiring
@@delve_ to add to that, my idea is that however UA-cam's algorithms work, it in some way incorporates current events and talking points from comments and recent video subjects and video titles that the majority clicks on to determine what is and is not relevant at any given time. So the reason this video "randomly" got recommended again now is BECAUSE of what's going on right now in the world. UA-cam likely didn't pick this video out themselves to show the world some good advice in these trying times. Instead they probably just wrote their algorithm in such a way that, essentially, WE picked this video out as being within the realms of videos we want more of based on the types of videos we already watch.
I watched this video 4 years ago. Never, in any moment of my life, someone said that I was important, or that they needed me, or that I have something to give or offer to anyone. This old man said to me something so simple, in such a short, compact and in a serious manner something that changed something in me. I was so pessimistic about everything, my life, the world. And after the video ended something switched in my brain, some nail was hammered, some screw got tightened. I never felt so inspired and hopeful about my capabilities. I went to seriously work on myself for the first in my life. Finished high school, got a job, made the final exam with a score that never in my best dreams hoped to get. Got into the best Uni of my country, with a subject that I love the most, made the first friends in almost 10 years, and now I hardly recognize myself from 5 years ago. Now I am seeing crisis, one after another, it all seems bleak, where I even question if this is ever going to stop... But once again this video got in my recommendations, and once again, I remember why it was, and still is, so impactful to me. This old guy changed my life forever, I really wished he was still here to read this comment, and know how much grateful I am to him. Work hard everyone! Never stop the chain this man created! Best of effort to everyone who is still in this fight!
Please know he has read your comment, and his heart was filled with joy that his words, the words he send out into the universe, landed and helped you. Isn’t that wonderful! But, be assured, he saw your comments and he knows. Thank you for sharing your story, it was a pleasure to read it! Victoria
Hello, I'm a young French man and it's only today, 08/07/2023 that I've seen this video. I was really moved by the words this old man used. I'd like to thank this man for his speech because it made me realise that this world isn't rotten and that we can all succeed in life. Wherever this old man is today, I hope his soul is at peace.
@@user-vk2wp4ot8h Soccer/football will never match the popularity of basketball, the NBA, gridiron football/NFL, baseball/MLB, or hockey/NHL in the USA or Canada... nor come will it come anywhere near approaching the level of popularity in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. It's just not going to happen. They've been trying for years. NFL football is still king, NBA has overtaken MLB (which is still huge, despite a clear downward trajectory) for 2nd place and is only growing internationally with stars like Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetekoumpo, Nikola Jokic, Victor W... Plus, among the "Big Four" professional sports leagues, the smallest (NHL) is currently in the experiencing a significant boost in viewership and overall popularity in the USA. It could end up being that professional (MLS) soccer's best chance is to one day eventually surpass Major League Baseball's popularity and/or revenue. But that is unlikely... even with the alarming demographic trends threatening baseball's place in American culture. Even as the most likely league to be eclipsed by MLS one day... this would take decades to gradually transpire.
@@maaz322 lol, that makes it so much cringier. Considering the last samurai cultured lol. A movie where a white marine is the last samurai, om, so cultured. My bad.
I am 17 years old and I am living a period of failure, but inside me I have beautiful dreams, in my soul, in my heart. Recently, I discovered that wishing and wanting is not enough. You have to struggle to reach what you want. When I am the age of this great man, I want to be proud of what I have created, what I have presented, what I have succeeded in, and what I have failed to achieve. I know that I am in a bad situation now and no one believes in me, but I can overcome this. God is with me and myself is with me as well. This video appeared to me by chance. I felt it was a signal for me to stop, wake up from my sleep, get up, and stop creating drama and illusions. I must get up and live a real life, overcoming my fear and the bad people in my life. I know that this is difficult because I have tried hundreds of times and failed, but I will be stronger. I will fight for the peaceful and prosperous life that I desire, no matter what the cost. Rest in peace, great man. I hope your kind soul rests in heaven♥.
I actually find this 8 years ago, I’m a Vietnamese in her last years of high school, living her best life care-free in her parents’ sheltering. I’m so grateful to find your video at the moment at 2am in the morning doing IELTS tests for a better degree done, thank you for your inspiration; you’re a legend and i respect you a lot.
Seeing a man go through so much hardship and yet come out of it not just a survivor, but a man who's fully living his life and feeling positive about life - what a goat. Respect!
I’m currently 19 and going through one of the most turbulent yet exciting years of my life and left my home to go abroad to study.Your words gave increased my motivation.I will one day show this video to my future children. May you rest in peace.Become one with the universe friend.
I’m 19 as well! Will be 20 next year! Videos like this give me solid wisdom most people won’t give you! Even your own family bloodline! Will be following this wisdom from this man for the rest of my life! My dad gives me some good wisdom I do follow!
It was on my recommendation and I scrolled passed it so many times and the video literally never went away and then I was like dang I’m just meant to watch it and this man gave amazing advice that I needed to hear 🙂
has to be some type of universal message or something, rng of the universe telling those of us whom saw this something needs to be done by our own will.
I just came across this video and I watched the other one just now and I must say, I'm touched. I came by real late but I still felt the impact of this sweet old man's advice. I don't think I've gotten any advice like this one. Not even from my parents. The way he says, we need you. The way he spoke, I didn't know when my eyes got teary. Coz my life right now is hard, it's really hard and I've just been trying to get by and hold on. I really needed this. I wish I could sit down with him and enjoy more of his wisdom. But now he's resting. May his sweet soul rest in peace with the Lord. Even in death, you're still impacting lives. Thank you so much. You were a gift and you still are.
I am sobbing while watching this. It randomly appeared in my suggested after a pretty bad panic attack. The world seems out of my control; it is 2023. Things are surface level good for me, but nothing is stable. It feels like it will crumble at any moment. Those in power seem to eat everything up in their greed no matter what we do, and those older than me (I’m 29) only have harsh words to give to my generation when we try to seek advice or share how confusing this time is with them. I’ve prayed for some older, wiser being to converse with, to show me the way, to hear me out. I’m so thankful for this video. I saw that this sweet soul passed away, god bless his soul. This was the answer to my prayer. I am determined to become the old person young people can turn to for hope and encouragement, like he did for me. Thank you. ❤
A great man, whose inspirational words are forever engraved in the hearts and minds of those of us that were fortunate enough to stumble upon this video. RIP, Mr. Bernard Albertson.
I needed this in this exact moment. I’ve been feeling like an absolute failure recently because of a mistake I made. It’s been so hard trying to get out of condemnation & self hate. All I keep saying is I wish I could go back in time and be smarter but I can’t. I really feel like I’ve ruined my future & my family. I needed these words. It’s been really hard. Really hard.
An old man's advice is like a rare gem, shaped by the wisdom of time and experience. In the midst of our fast-paced world, taking heed of such wisdom can offer invaluable insights and guidance. Here's to cherishing the timeless wisdom passed down through generations
Inspirational video from an genuine soul. None of that vibe like he is trying to sell me something or monetize that I get from all the other self-help channels.
For anyone wondering, Bernard passed away on July 10, 2020. He was 82. Rest in peace, Bernard. Thank you for leaving a message towards the generations before you.
I just watch this wonderful man video and from the comments I’m reading I see he passed away and I’m so sorry to hear that. It seems like he had a heart full of love. May he rest in peace in heaven
This is the best part of youtube, genuine people sharing their experiences and storys. His wisdom lives even in death, and that's beautiful. Rest in peace ❤
I know I’ll make it and I’ll always try to better myself because of you Sir. Thank you for reminding me that it’s never too late, I will forever remember your teachings and kindness, rest in peace❤
To think it's almost August of 2023. I leave for Marine boot camp soon, and this man has truly motivated me. I lost my grandpa when I was 8, and I was too young to grasp the wisdom he stored away. This is what I imagine he would have said.
He said until his last breath he will help kids.. he recently passed and this video has also just gotten in everyone’s recommended. The old man made sure everyone has a chance to hear him 😭
Please.... I couldn't understand what he said......please...I want to understand... Can you text his msg for me. I think....this msg is for me. But,I couldn't understand. Please help me.... Please sir... I'm a teenager girl ... From Indian....looking for valuable words that change me... Please...
@@hypnoticsieged256 Happy Birthday...... May this new age is Fill with success and Joy.... God Bless You... Stayyy Awesome..... Love from kerala, India:)
Sometimes I get discouraged, and things like this just appear in my feed like the algorithms sensed it and were like, “Ok, but this guy believes in you. He’s been through rough times, too.” And I appreciate that.
Thank you, Sir! I needed this, even though I’m 51. Just like you, I dropped out at 10th grade, and took it upon myself to learn computer science and had a great career the past few decades. But now as I’m older, I feel I loss the drive I once had, and need to get it back. Thank you for this inspirational video.
It's kind of spooky that, despite this being posted 5 years ago, everyone is seeing this today, especially considering how fitting it is for the world right now.
@@darragh3796 that's mostly irrelevant to the conversation, the important thing is, he is in a better place and it is now our responsibility to spread his message
Beginning of 2024 and this video came up while i was scrolling my recommended bc it was apparently on my “saved for later” list and i had forgotten about it. I’m so glad i clicked bc this care and encouragement made me feel so full of hope and gratitude. RIP to this kind soul, and thank you 🙏🏼
God bless this man soul. Fellow fallen brother your words are so powerful they have touched many hearts. I’m about to get out of military and as my last speech I’m going to mention you and your message. In honor of this man, please share this video. It’s not going to hurt you, it’s going to help others I promise.
*This is the type of grandpa everyone wishes they had in their life giving them advice for any problem with life or when you are conflicted you can just simply talk it out*
Jobs will pay your bills business will make you rich but investment makes and you keep you wealthy the future is inevitable, I pray everyone here becomes successful
Vid got recommended to me this morning and I needed this message more than ever, thank you for the advice and kind words. Your impact on us young people will last forever, RIP 💙🙏🏽
People saying that “ we need more people like him” But how about us turning ourself like him, instead of waiting someone to be like him lets be better and be like him
Well we can't be exactly like him. But we can take a page from his book and learn. When we become around the age he did this video in, we can turn around and give loving advice to our younger generation and let's pray and hope to god they listen.
Good and bad do not exist but people’s opinions and perceptions on reality do exist only for a short time until they die and sometimes their opinions will go on for a couple hundred years and maybe a couple thousand years but eventually their opinions will disappear maybe due to a catastrophe that wipes out most of mankind.
A great African proverb because we did not have widespread written history. Most wisdom was passed orally so when the elders passed they took all their wisdom with them. Thus children would often sit at the feet of elders listening to stories of times gone by
give me a break... There are plenty of old men who never read a book in their lives & never did much living. There are a lot of them. Don't give them so much credit.
TheRedTigress And yet no one has heeded the learning opportunity from it. Instead, we make the same mistakes that lead us to that point again, or we cover up what happened and the problem emerges somewhere else. Everyone needs to stop throwing a hissy fit and get some composure, and real change will happen.
cjm the problem is how our energy leads to nothing . What people miss , what people don’t realize , is how our leader profit from our misery and our champions . What I mean is wether we’re fighting the good fight or were standing by doing nothing ; we play right into their hands . Just look at this stuff with cops. How hard would it be for the government to outlaw police unions ? How hard to start dynamic training of police that teaches the the skills they need to not resort to violence ? It’s not hard. All it takes is one bill being passed. Yet instead they tell us “the only way to change is with your vote “ , and of course , to vote for them or their allies . We need to wake up. In this age of woke we are more asleep than ever. The matrix of the internet and our technology has lead us to believe we’re sooo damn smart. But I’n reality were simplying making the rich richer and the powerful more powerful. On top of this in regards to violence no one sees how the lifestyle urban youth live pretending to be gangsters is hugely toxic . Of course too our leaders won’t speak out against that. Because they truly don’t want us to change. If the world didn’t have misery why would we need leaders to lead ? I just believe we’re doing exactly what they want.
cjm and watch after the election if Biden wins..magically racism falls to the back of everyone’s minds and ppl will move on. And in a few years again it’ll happen again. And again the message will be “VOTE VOTE VOTE”

But now he's resting. May his sweet soul rest in peace with the Lord. Even in death, you're still impacting lives. Thank you so much. You were a gift and you still are.

Im actually sad apparently this man passed away october 2019 of cancer. RIP.
A True Legend.
Yes, but he will live on thru time now.
me too
What??!!!
Republic O Reality lmfao the person paid respects you didn’t say it at all. Let us respect this man how we see fit. Have a wonderful day.
I am sobbing while watching this. It randomly appeared in my suggested after a pretty bad panic attack. The world seems out of my control; it is 2023. Things are surface level good for me, but nothing is stable. It feels like it will crumble at any moment. Those in power seem to eat everything up in their greed no matter what we do, and those older than me (I’m 29) only have harsh words to give to my generation when we try to seek advice or share how confusing this time is with them. I’ve prayed for some older, wiser being to converse with, to show me the way, to hear me out. I’m so thankful for this video. I saw that this sweet soul passed away, god bless his soul. This was the answer to my prayer. I am determined to become the old person young people can turn to for hope and encouragement, like he did for me.
Thank you. ❤
A great man, whose inspirational words are forever engraved in the hearts and minds of those of us that were fortunate enough to stumble upon this video.
RIP, Mr. Bernard Albertson.
whoever put this on my recommended deserves a 50% raise
Did you mean: 1,500% raise?

I’m glad I got this in my recommended.

Edit:Thanks for them likes!!

Because it knows at that age you will understand what those words mean.
I second that

Youhann Van dam noo are you serious?
I needed this in this exact moment. I’ve been feeling like an absolute failure recently because of a mistake I made. It’s been so hard trying to get out of condemnation & self hate. All I keep saying is I wish I could go back in time and be smarter but I can’t. I really feel like I’ve ruined my future & my family. I needed these words. It’s been really hard. Really hard.
An old man's advice is like a rare gem, shaped by the wisdom of time and experience. In the midst of our fast-paced world, taking heed of such wisdom can offer invaluable insights and guidance. Here's to cherishing the timeless wisdom passed down through generations
"I want to encourage young people because they are the future." Yes, finally
Young people are the future, only if they step up to make it.

It’s crazy..

I just got this in my recommendation too
Because we all know what love is. We just don't appreciate that. One love. Love is the strongest. Any strange kind of love is still love too.
@@kathh_1467 im sad now :( rip Mr Albertson
Inspirational video from an genuine soul. None of that vibe like he is trying to sell me something or monetize that I get from all the other self-help channels.
May this man rest in peace 🕊️
I promised my father when he died that I would build a better world.
I'll build it for you too, Mr. Albertson.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
hope you build the biggest world that you can
I will help
Better not be a liberal
How did the comments go from "How wholesome!'' to ''Oh, Yikes'' in less than 4 hours?
For anyone wondering, Bernard passed away on July 10, 2020. He was 82. Rest in peace, Bernard. Thank you for leaving a message towards the generations before you.
I’ve never seen him before today but uhm, Rest In Peace Bernard, your advice will not be looked past as if it were a tree in a forest.

I just watch this wonderful man video and from the comments I’m reading I see he passed away and I’m so sorry to hear that. It seems like he had a heart full of love. May he rest in peace in heaven
This is the best part of youtube, genuine people sharing their experiences and storys. His wisdom lives even in death, and that's beautiful. Rest in peace ❤
When he said “you’re not a mistake you’re wonderful” that hit me really hard
Bot deceitful this many likes in 3 hours lol I never got that many in 1 year
That's deep

5 years ago this guy said don't listen to the media lol

This video always seems to come back to my feed when I need it most...
I know I’ll make it and I’ll always try to better myself because of you Sir. Thank you for reminding me that it’s never too late, I will forever remember your teachings and kindness, rest in peace❤

He died when he was 81 but had the wisdom and graciousness of a man who’s lived for thousands of years
How do you know?-
@So I Make Art Lol oh-
I haven't seen videos of him ,are you sure?
To think it's almost August of 2023. I leave for Marine boot camp soon, and this man has truly motivated me. I lost my grandpa when I was 8, and I was too young to grasp the wisdom he stored away. This is what I imagine he would have said.
Did you make it through?
did you make it back? if so thats awesome.
This old man made me cry. Thank you for your word of advice, you will never be forgotten ❤
He said until his last breath he will help kids.. he recently passed and this video has also just gotten in everyone’s recommended. The old man made sure everyone has a chance to hear him 😭
I'm sad...
wait no :c
Maybe it's UA-cam algorithms back at it again
Hows does you know this? 😭😭
LJ Editz It’s good for once
It seems like everyone got recommended this at a pretty good time where people needed to hear this
Please....
I couldn't understand what he said......please...I want to understand... Can you text his msg for me.
I think....this msg is for me.
But,I couldn't understand.
Please help me....

Sometimes I get discouraged, and things like this just appear in my feed like the algorithms sensed it and were like, “Ok, but this guy believes in you. He’s been through rough times, too.” And I appreciate that.
Still hits the heart in every good way.
UA-cam: "Thought you could use this, bro"
Yeah
Yo yo yo man we actually did xD
Yeah but like why tho
i did need it tbh
Exactly 😂
The fact that this video is recommended to us after he has passed on is kind of like he is putting it there for us
Because he knows who needs to see this, he was put here for a reason. And I think we’re it.
What the fuck
he seems so sweet🥺
@@lucasbrennan657 wdym?
No funny
Thanks UA-cam for recommending this. 10/05/2024
Thank you, Sir! I needed this, even though I’m 51. Just like you, I dropped out at 10th grade, and took it upon myself to learn computer science and had a great career the past few decades. But now as I’m older, I feel I loss the drive I once had, and need to get it back. Thank you for this inspirational video.
An honorable man that has my absolute respect
It's kind of spooky that, despite this being posted 5 years ago, everyone is seeing this today, especially considering how fitting it is for the world right now.
The calling is now
Delayna Murrell This is scary how accurate this is now
Its the government, not a coincidence
It only tells you that the world hasn't gotten any better since. What a shame we are as human beings living here.
Guys...I'm scared
Why is everyone getting this recommended today. Like im seeing comments from like 5h ago...
I guess he died last week.
True
youtube is weird XD
Because everyone needs to hear this today. It's an act of fate
Bro your 2 hrs away from me 🙂
i have absolute respect for this man and i regret he is not able to speak more
It's Dec 2023 I have been chosen, REST IN LOVE GRANDPA
Why did I just discovered him and have the pain of losing a mentor of decades in 10 minutes???

Right!

He's died?
This video is this man’s legacy. I believe that as he left this world, he left it a better place.
I just saw this video, I'm basically speechless. I feel so motivated to do something productive and help people
Then came 2020
Wait did he pass? Please god tell me he didn't pass I literally just found this channel
How did he die?
@@darragh3796 that's mostly irrelevant to the conversation, the important thing is, he is in a better place and it is now our responsibility to spread his message
I just found this guy today and I already know this guy is a good person RIP Bernard Albertson

Beginning of 2024 and this video came up while i was scrolling my recommended bc it was apparently on my “saved for later” list and i had forgotten about it. I’m so glad i clicked bc this care and encouragement made me feel so full of hope and gratitude. RIP to this kind soul, and thank you 🙏🏼
God bless this man soul. Fellow fallen brother your words are so powerful they have touched many hearts. I’m about to get out of military and as my last speech I’m going to mention you and your message.
In honor of this man, please share this video. It’s not going to hurt you, it’s going to help others I promise.
*This is the type of grandpa everyone wishes they had in their life giving them advice for any problem with life or when you are conflicted you can just simply talk it out*
I can agree with this
:( I never had a grandpa but um I do wish I had one.
I think I could actually listen to a lecture if it sounded like this
LIKE UNCLE IROH FROM ATLA (avatar: the last airbender)
He remind me a lot of my grandfather who passed exactly a year ago. We were extremely close so it’s hard to watch but it’s a good listen
If only this was recommended to us 5years earlier
i was too young to understand what he’s saying 5 years ago. and i feel like we need it more now that we did before.
Imagine getting over 400 likes in 2 hours

@@Kelslshea
Aw noooo :(
People saying that “ we need more people like him”
But how about us turning ourself like him, instead of waiting someone to be like him lets be better and be like him
Well we can't be exactly like him. But we can take a page from his book and learn. When we become around the age he did this video in, we can turn around and give loving advice to our younger generation and let's pray and hope to god they listen.
Somethin to think about
✌🏼
This is my favorite comment.
Julia Peters 100% me too
I fuckin love thid guy for being so passionate for the generations succeeding him. ❤❤❤
Am really at a point where a lot of things don't make sense in my life, this video buys me hope
“Good nor bad things last forever” I’ll keep that in mind.
There’s a lyric from a country song that goes “thinking that your luck won’t ever change is like thinking it won’t ever stop once it starts to rain”
Balance
Numb
Good and bad do not exist but people’s opinions and perceptions on reality do exist only for a short time until they die and sometimes their opinions will go on for a couple hundred years and maybe a couple thousand years but eventually their opinions will disappear maybe due to a catastrophe that wipes out most of mankind.

A great African proverb because we did not have widespread written history. Most wisdom was passed orally so when the elders passed they took all their wisdom with them. Thus children would often sit at the feet of elders listening to stories of times gone by
@@villagevoicefilms5861 same in india in very old times

We need more souls like this. They are wise, considerate and obviously love mankind. Bless them!!
THIS WAS 5 YEARS AGO AND IS RELEVANT TO EVERYTHING GOING ON NOW
Because the shit going on now is similar to the shit that went in on 2015, in terms of rioting and nationwide BLM protests. Its all repeating
Name Watcher because that’s what history does!! It always does that, it’s incredible how repetitive things are historically
TheRedTigress And yet no one has heeded the learning opportunity from it. Instead, we make the same mistakes that lead us to that point again, or we cover up what happened and the problem emerges somewhere else. Everyone needs to stop throwing a hissy fit and get some composure, and real change will happen.
cjm the problem is how our energy leads to nothing . What people miss , what people don’t realize , is how our leader profit from our misery and our champions . What I mean is wether we’re fighting the good fight or were standing by doing nothing ; we play right into their hands . Just look at this stuff with cops. How hard would it be for the government to outlaw police unions ? How hard to start dynamic training of police that teaches the the skills they need to not resort to violence ? It’s not hard. All it takes is one bill being passed. Yet instead they tell us “the only way to change is with your vote “ , and of course , to vote for them or their allies . We need to wake up. In this age of woke we are more asleep than ever. The matrix of the internet and our technology has lead us to believe we’re sooo damn smart. But I’n reality were simplying making the rich richer and the powerful more powerful. On top of this in regards to violence no one sees how the lifestyle urban youth live pretending to be gangsters is hugely toxic . Of course too our leaders won’t speak out against that. Because they truly don’t want us to change. If the world didn’t have misery why would we need leaders to lead ? I just believe we’re doing exactly what they want.
cjm and watch after the election if Biden wins..magically racism falls to the back of everyone’s minds and ppl will move on. And in a few years again it’ll happen again. And again the message will be “VOTE VOTE VOTE”
