      It's never too late. I spent ten years in engineering college and then realized I didn't want to spend my life inside an office and still graduated as a systems analyst, and I'm about to graduate from my second major. And along the way I realized that those ten years were not wasted time because many things I learned in my engineering career were useful in my other career and in life as well.
      This video came at the right time, after a difficult year, when I'm starting to think about traveling. I loved that safari they did, seeing all those beautiful animals that were always so fascinating to me like the elephants, the giraffes, the lions, the zebras, wow, I want to be there!!! and travel around the world.
      Excellent video!

      This message to all the humans , don't follow the religion of your parents ,You must work your mind to reach to the right religion because after your death you will be judged alone, and the message is, You must read the holy Quran, the holy book of islam religion.. Read the holy Quran don't hear about islam.. And this is some verses of it..In the name of allah,The Entirely merciful, the Especially merciful.^^ Say "He is allah, (who is) one, Allah the eternal refuge,He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent^^.... ^^And whoever desires other than islam as religion - never will it be accepted from Him and He, in the hereafter, will be among the losers^^... And this book is the last and final revelation from allah.. And this book had revealed from 1400 years.. And this book is so matches with the science... I will show you just one proof matches the science..“..
      Hypoxia
      Lack of oxygen.
      At high altitude the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere decreases. When oxygen level drops the blood vessels in the lungs constrict:
      Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), also known as the Euler-Liljestrand mechanism, is a physiological phenomenon in which small pulmonary arteries constrict in the presence of alveolar hypoxia (low oxygen levels).
      Wikipedia, Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction, 2019
      The blood vessels in the lungs constrict when oxygen level drops. This was only known recently however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
      [Quran 6.125] Those whom Allah wants to guide, He opens their chests to Islam; And those whom He wants to leave astray, He makes their chests tight and constricted, as if they are ascending to the sky: Such is the penalty of Allah on those who refuse to believe.
      "He makes their chests tight and constricted, as if they are ascending to the sky" today we know why it gets constricted, lack of oxygen. No mistakes in the Quran.
      How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known what gets constricted at high altitude?.. .and if you want hundreds of mircles enter here: www.miracles-of-quran.com/ The message is ended.. This message is to not say after your death i don't know the islam religion and i had followed the religion of my parents without thinking .and you should believe that Abraham, moses, jesus, mohammed and all the prophets are messengers of allah . O God i have delivered (the message), may you be my witness..sunniconnect.com/m3/download/pdf-al-quran-saheeh-international-translation/

      Dear Niklas,
      I am Aditya Singh from India, and I have been following you for a long time. You are my source of inspiration and you have taught me a lot. I have learned more from you than from anyone else in my life.
      I live in a small city called Seoni in India, and I belong to a poor family that can only afford the basic necessities. Niklas, please, I want to work with you. I am very impressed by your lifestyle and I want to make some changes in my life too. I want to live a productive life in a better city.
      I know that it is very difficult for you to trust an unknown person, but please, Niklas, please take me out of India with you. You don’t even have to pay me, I will work somewhere else so that I can cover my own expenses. I have seen that foreign life style is so good and I want to experience it too.
      Please, just give me one month, sir. I will try to learn as many skills as possible so that I can help you in your work and I will not be a burden for you anymore. Sir, please, you are my inspiration, you are like a god for me. From your videos only I learned about how to find passion and in India it is not possible to work on your passion.
      Please, Niklas, help me. You are my last hope.
      Sincerely, Aditya Singh

    "I was the only one concerned with that question, what am I going to do after High School." Dude same, I really hear you on this one!!! And without judgment, it is so interesting to see that a lot of the time the few people which were actually concerned with that question end up doing something really special and different like you.
    Every day I asked myself that question since I was 15, obsessed with it, and while I have a lot more I want to create, give and get better at, I was a bit mad at myself. And then, yesterday I met a former classmate by coincidence, and every time that happens I am shocked with how most people are still the same way. They still don't know what they want, they still coast around planless, because they either forgot what they loved as a child or always listened to the society and pressure of other people to go down the "safe path" which for most people, leads to misery.
    Clarity only comes from being bold enough to ask difficult questions and being patient to find the answer. 🖖Even though it took me 5 years to find my thing, I think it is still 5 years earlier than most people. Because if you keep going, you will eventually find the thing you came here to be and do.

    When I started in film making in the early 1990s the entry costs were around £500 to hire a camera and £500 a day to hire an edit suite, it was far too expensive to buy your own then and an edit suite would take up a whole room. It's amazing that thesedays you can just start with your phone, edit at home and upload within hours.

I share this love with my twin brother, and we love to inspire and motivate others to find their true passion in life, and share our life for running. Our parents always said to start our young so that is what we did, me and my twin created a UA-cam channel at the age of 15 and when we were 16, we decided to combine our UA-cam channels to really share our love. Our passion is to do this full time and to basically run sub elite. We also plan to create a clothing line for running, so if anyone has any tips please share them on how to build a clothing brand.

    I am a current junior at a college that I don't want to be at anymore. Long story short....started out at one school that I didn't like after a year, then the pandemic hit, and chose to transfer to the college I am currently at because my father works there and I live 10 minutes away; I have been at this school since 2020 and really don't like it anymore. My passion is in the music business and jazz performance for saxophone, so I am transferring again. I've been feeling quite down and overwhelmed by the fact that I am not where I'd like to be and I am not making friends. But watching your videos has gotten me through this anxiety. Your content is truly incredible.

I'd did love filming when I was young but went a total different way because when I was young it wasn't really an option... I think this is now the age af creative s... I started a production company just 1,5 years ago... I love every moment... I love learning every day... So as long as I feel good and fit I will keep it up!
    Niklas is really talented and it's great that he wants to inspire... Keep it up and never back down.... I just turned 49 so started with 47... So it all depends on you! Everyone should follow their passion and the world would be Evan more awsome!

    Wow Niklas, hart hitting for sure. Never too late to change - I changed country and careers at the age of 55. I also have a 16 year old who is depressed as there seems to be so much pressure to succeed and school seems to be the only defining place for most kids. My eldest son was a law student at Stellenbosch (like Matt) did 2 years and never felt the course was for him. Had to start from first year again in Maastricht University and almost failed first year, but persisted and is in his final year now. He also stressed about 'losing-time' as if someone was watching him. But the change was good for him and he can see a path that he wants to define for himself. I on the other hand am still exploring my next great challenge, I am mastering being a jack-of-all-trades, but a master-of-none. Great video of South Africa, that was extra special.

    Hi guys, I am more like Matt. Did my studies to the end, to follow another path after that. I am ten years older than you, and I am still on the way of doing my own thing. I am really close now :)
    You are so right! You should not regret the time, and see it as wasted. This is hard to do. Even harder in ower society! So thanks a lot for giving espeacially young people the good spirit!

    Im very greatful Niklas. Ive just closed down my restaurant after 9 years. Before that I had renovation company for 9 years also. Didnt feel „my way” in either of them. There is This inner voice Inside me, its been trying to wake me up for years. Im full of faith that voice will guide me towards following my passion. Feels like summer time inside me. Im 41 and I feel free now. It is never to late. Youth its a state of mind. Im Happy Ive reached to the point in my life that I dont give a fcuk and Im not taking life so super seriously. Im on my 3rd attempt to connect trade and passion. Hello world, here I come. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Thank you everyone who reads This. Love and peace.

    Beautiful video man. It gives me hope. I got fired from a job I hated nearly two years ago and it shocked me into doing what I really wanted to do. So I started at the bottom of freelance filmmaking. Nearly two years later and my career is getting there. I still have those nights where I'm scared that its all for nothing but I got a good support system to keep me pushing. Seeing someone else turn around and get to do what they love makes me feel better about my own future.

    Nklas, I love all your videos, they are all so eye-opening for me, but this one especially shows me how messed up our society is, its better to follow what you think is your purpose (your passion), no matter what other people think of you, just keep pushing. I'm just 13, but I am already thinking about following a path that is not yet written by our society, and I'm looking forward to what will happen later.
    Again I love your videos, and keep it up!!!

You connected the pictures and the voice over so well, that the 20 minutes felt like 5. I could watch videos like this all day long. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for putting in all the work in your videos. Wish you the best 🙏🏼

I didn't know then it made me super frustrated and to this day after being out of High school 3 years I am still unsure of what i would like to do.. I too cried bc i didn't know how to deal with that one questions

    Ich schreib hier mal auf Deutsch und kann das alles nur 100% unterschreiben! Ich hab mit 18 direkt nach dem Abi das schlecht laufende Unternehmen meiner Eltern übernommen (eine Tanzschule), und zur größten Tanzschulkette in Ost-Deutschland aufgebaut mit 12 Filialen, Tausenden Mitgliedern, rein unternehmerisch lief alles super. Und trotzdem war ich nicht glücklich, hatte keinen Spaß an meiner Arbeit und hatte zunehmend den Drang, das Unternehmen zu verkaufen und meine Passion zu finden... Was ich dann auch getan habe nach 6 Jahren (mit 24), wobei ich zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht den Hauch einer Ahnung hatte, was meine Passion sein könnte, geschweige denn wie man damit Geld verdient. Heute bin ich 28, lebe meine Traum, habe meine Passion gefunden (nicht nur eine, sondern gleich mehrere), und verdiene gutes Geld damit... Die Tanzschulkette zu verkaufen war ohne Diskussion die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens! Also kann ich nur nochmal wiederholen, dass ich der Botschaft deines Videos nur zu 100% zustimmen kann!

    Man this video just hit me like a truck. I dropped everything and decided to make videos when I was 29 years old I am 36 years old now I still feel I am left behind, struggling in a sea full of creators much younger, much more creative and has much more financial capacity that I am. But with this words " I constantly remind myself to drop the act and strive for authenticity rather than applause" , It made me realize that I am where I am right now because this is what my heart tells me to.. Thank you Matt and Niklas. I am forever indebted to you.

And the quote at the end really struck a note with me. Time for a big shake up, I need to take back control. Massive love and thanks to you guys. Love your work Niklas. Looking forward to you making fresh content

    • @Mvddict

      Creating from the heart is more important than creating something that'll get a lot of views. Key is to find the sweetspot where those 2 collide. I had the same problem as you, how did you manage to tackle it?

    • @JustinBainbridgeYT
      @JustinBainbridgeYT Рік тому +1

      @Mvddict I am still working on it to be honest. It's been a very tough few months trying to figure out how to create the content I want to, but also bearing in mind the UA-cam metrics. Things I've done were just have a big brainstorming session where I put all my thoughts on paper. What videos I've made that I enjoyed and why, what videos did I not enjoy and why. And then also what is the driving force behind me creating content and what is are rhe messages I want to get across or the things I want to share with people. It's still a work in progress and I have no idea if it'll work but it feels like I'm moving in the right direction

    Niklas and Matt, you have no idea how badly I needed and enjoyed this video! As someone in their mid 40s, I'm hitting that brick wall where I am in a job that has taught me so much about myself, but I know it's not fulfilling and find it hard to get through each day. With my own channel, my hope is to inspire others and be as genuine and authentic as possible to maybe help others! ✌️
