At 11:12 you have a little mistake. 1^15 is 1, it's mean't to be 10^15. Great video anyway!
I noticed just now. I'll add an annotation. Thanks for the heads up!
Haha that added zero
Man idk how you don't have over a milli subs. I frickin love this shit
Rocityman One word. Society :(
Because success is RNG based
HEH, GREETINGS!
IM IN CRARRGE NOW!!!

Summary: Success is based on chance, but this chance can be manipulated by your effort.
At 10:19 you ask the question what is more important in determining the size of a rectangle and in general it's length is the longer side and it's width is its shorter side. knowing this you can draw a few more conclusions than before but still not much.
Love the videos and always have. Keep it up, please.
Such good vids
What do you guys think? Does a secret to success exist? If so, what is it?
Sharkee The secret to success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration and 10% numeracy.
Sharkee The secret to success is timing
Sharkee the secret to success is making your own definition of success. If your definition of success is easily achievable, being successfull is easy.
If I live another day I am successfully alive. If I am hungry and eat something I am successfully nurturing my body.
Phisics and mathematics, or LSD if you'd prefer that
Sharkee
Yes.
I believe it's hard work.
this channel is so underrated! sharkee could you please take contact with other major science channels to for a collaboration, people deserve to know you!
Excellent job as per usual :P
Dont put yourself down, you may not be a big youtube channel but you are one of my favite channels as a whole, keep it up :)
When Sharkee uploads it's a very happy time for me.
There's no success without the S U C C, and frankly partner, I don't see you gettin' either
fuck i wanted to write this myself
Wow... someone actually tried to counter the luck argument by saying that taking risk is a more important factor? That's so absurdly stupid.
So proud of you brother knowing that you're Bahraini, in love with your videos and if you need any original music or themes to your works just let me know, I'm Bahraini too and Would love to support your videos with any music production related matters at my studio. Keep it up ..

Even a person "A" has more chances to succeed just because he's first in the alphabet
Arthur DAMN YOU LANGUAGE BIAS!!!!!!
Arthur or perhaps it's actually person "B"
No, it's not me - it's society. Alphabetical order is often used which may increase the chances at times.
Sharkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yay!
In other words the answer to "nature vs nurture" is "Wheeellllheeellllllheell, it's complicated."
Vacuum decay deserves it's own video.
4:02!
What affects the probability of Condom breaking!
Epic!
Am I the only one who noticed it?
That's pretty funny. I didn't notice that.
Sharkee btw u make me feel sad for you when you said "your (sharkee) not even that popular on UA-cam"
Only 1 thing 1^15 is 1 but amazingg videoo!! Keep it upp
Love your videos man. Keep up the awesome work!
That's odd... i am a big fan of this channel, and i try to keep up with the new videos that come out. But i was unaware that this video had released until now ( a month later) and i also see that there is a small view count :(. Sharkee your content is great and i don't see any reason why this video is being undervalued, and even though me as a single being can't make this video get as much views as it can get, remember that (and im 100% sure) that there are many people who really appreciate your videos for its quality. Im too young to be able to donate you on patreon but if i wasen't i would surely donate plenty.
i saw that video then i failed in life
The color of the greenscreen is wrong TT.TT
Secret to success is to be the FIRST!
not really... neither M$ nor FB were the first at what they did. They were early, that is true, but not first. And their products might be questionable but are far from being garbage.
that's also the secret to being to one with the biggest losses
First
TO BE NUMBER ONE im a time traveler from late 2016, bye
Not always. UA-cam was not the first video streaming site. Metacafe was. Nobody even remembers metaface anymore... Also, Microsoft (not the first GUI OS) and Facebook (what about friendster and myspace) weren't first. So no. You're wrong. Not saying Sharkee is wrong. I'm talking about the specific point made by the commentor Dave Null and Fester Blats.
One different problem with success lies in defining it. This video takes a look at success for the individual from a lens external to that individual. But this is not necessarily success. Are the criteria for individual success set by the individual in question, by the observers of that individual, or by the universe itself?
The concept of « success » as most people use it seems to deal with a) the ability to achieve one’s own goal/goals and b) the ability to recognize that fact. To illustrate:
a) Are you successful if you’re a billionaire who wants to be a professional ballerina, but simply cannot learn to do ballet despite coaches and medical procedures? Sure, you’re a billionaire, which is the « goal » of many, but it isn’t yours. You have failed at your ballerina goal. In that respect, you unsuccessful. This also connected to the question of how to combine multiple successes. Let’s say you are successful at being a billionaire, but not at being a ballerina. So are you successful in general? What is your metric to combine the two? Do you perform a utility calculus?
b) Are you successful if neither you nor anyone else knows you are successful? Doesn’t seem likely. Example: you’re about to win a secret, exclusive underground watermelon eating competition which you’ve spent months preparing for. The criterion for winning is to have the most watermelon in your stomach out of all participants when the buzzer sounds. So, as it happens, you end up in the lead and no one can catch up, but with 3 seconds to go, due to a chemical in the air, everyone there including you starts to believe permanently that you’re eating dead babies. Nonetheless, the buzzer sounds, and objectively, you have the most watermelon in your stomach. But no one ever knows this. Are you successful in winning the watermelon competition?
So, let’s say individual success is achieving your goals and having someone(or/and you) recognize that. Then « successful » could simply mean having read an article, just like it could mean discovering a cure for cancer.
Ok, I'm at 1:20 and really asking myself if I should proceed, when my chance for success decreases by watching this video...
I've been subscribed for awhile now and just realized how similar your filming format is to MathLogger's videos
I'm to stupid to understand anything he is saying but is sounds like a lot of math.............."......................I don't like math
Right place, right time, right situation. The possiblity roles the world, anyways.
Shocker that Stuart Varney see luck as a complete non-factor. So if we could reset time all over again he thinks everything would happen identically to the way it happened in this go around?
Yes. Lying and scamming other people is the way to success. I don't know how much of a secret it is though.
love your videos
you are allways so enthusiatic in your videos, the sciense behind coinflips are quite fun but all in all, i love watching your videos!
love your vids!
Great vid thanks. Respect from Greece, Europe
Success is relative, if you have a family member that has achieved relative success, your chance at being relatively successful increases, the reverse is also true
I love hearing you say words with the letter R. Your accent is so satisfying.
wait you live in bahrain. seriously. my life was a lie i thought you were from finland
I actually correctly guessed the coins flip...
But how would I convince you to use a "rigged" coin?
thanks for giving me advice on how to succeed.
Why this guy eventually is going to become successful?
What's your plans for channel expansion
A video about vacuum decay please sharkee !
Isn't probability actually real??
I mean the probability of getting heads/tails is 50%, but what if every time I toss the coin with same angle and same force, I'll get my favourable output infinite times!!
Plz comment on this ideology
That's not practical brother
you can surely do this with coin
but in general its almost impossible
Now a video about the Vacuum Decay has to be made
What are those?!
Seriously, What. The. Fuck. I finally accepted that you were never gonna wear anything different.
i feel like i was raped and that bood stained the shirt :'(
Sharkee, you are successful. You've got some videos with lots of views.
Unfortunately, for your channel to become more popular you would have to change what makes it so great in the first place.
You would need to produce content more frequently instead of once a month. But if you did that your videos wouldn't be as thoughtful and in-depth as they are now.
CGP Grey is quite successful, and he uploads once every six weeks or so.
i guessed trails, trails, heads. i'm a wizard :D
Ok, I win. I got all the coin flips right.
I got the coin flips right.
We need more videos!!! Please.
First comment in 2 years
succes = work x chance
religion is this
But who won?
always a pleasure.
All heads
Heyyyyyy
Have you ever considered building music into your videos? I am already really enjoying your videos a lot but I think a little music would make them even better.
lol chill
I think one of the reasons why I like Sharkee's channel is due to it's feeling of cleanness and unclutteredness. I think adding music to his videos would take away from that.
Great video
Thanks
I love the professional aspect.

hey sharkee, I'd really love you to make a meet up in Saudi Arabia near bahrain. I live so close to Bahrain that I can see the bridge from my balcony!
Sharkee, are you religious ? I would like to see a video from your perspective of religion...
Back at it again with the awesome videos!
I stopped at 1:10 and gave a big fuck you to the screen.
1:03 *stops watching video*
I don't wanna sound mean, considering u put so much effort into this video. The point of this video, as the title suggests, is to explain if success is defined by luck? Ok, so I see where you're headed when u use the coin flip anology. But then u go and start on things which contradicts the point, and on top of that u keep getting sidetracked by ideas u can't seem to stop going on about. I can't believed i watched over 10 mins of naught. Please, let the wise ones do the videos, you should be on forums debating instead. You speak like you're talking to economists/analysts/investors/distributors and such. However, ur content is more targeted at growing adults who have trouble firguring out their own life. To simply put, stop bullshiting and instead get to the point. 🙂
