Fun fact.. Final Cut Pro wouldn’t let me export this video for some reason. So I actually had to use screen record and capture the audio externally then re-upload it into Final Cut Pro. How many of you noticed!? 😂
Can you do a video about what comes first and what comes last your first car or your first apartment I need ideas plz
@@kashtv1017 elaborate on that a bit
This so important. I saw a poll on Facebook asking “would you go on vacation if you couldn’t post it on social media” over 90% of ppl said “no they wouldn’t” because they flat out felt to needed to post on social to make their coworkers, family etc jealous. Which is beyond ridiculous to me
Right. It should be all about the experience or post to collect memories for yourself.. not just for others to see
Wow, that’s crazy
Oh yes the mind control is real!!
That's insane.
I like taking photos of places and things and sharing it with people, but since I don't have social media, I send it in chats to my friends.
At the end of the day, those are the people that'll care about your experiences the most.
I used to have Instagram, but when I saw a lot of my friends doing the scroll + double tap, scroll + double tap, ad infinitum without much thought, I realized most people are on there just to stroke their ego, and I got the hell out of there.
Whewwww that people pleasing syndrome is the devil. In the end, you will run yourself ragged for trying to please folks who don't even matter in the end. People are doing the most lol. That's the easiest way to explain it. "Life is very simple!" You're always coming through with a word! 💪🏾💪🏾 I used to get sucked into the social media stuff, but now I live a very simple and lowkey life. So peaceful.
Love it 💯💯
So true. So many people perceive their worth from what the world defines. I thank God that I’ve been grounded. Great content
Thats a fact bro, I decided to take time from Social Media and just dive deeper into myself, I asked myself this question.. if I stayed off Social Media forever would I still want that fast car, that big house, and all that other shit? that one question changed my entire perspective on everything in that regard, dope video bro much love!
That’s facts man!
That's really mature!
Me too - get back to writing, reading, hobbies- jump off the hamster wheel. Simplicity doesn’t mean broke! Just not necessary!
My motto has always been “Keep up with the Jones’s 🤔, nah… I am the Jones’s “ 😃 and I just continue to live below my means & do what makes me happy! Not what society says I should do.
I agree with everything you’ve said. Recently a coworker kept throwing it in my face that she had her masters. I could’ve been had my master but to go back to school and to not have a huge financial benefit didn’t sit right with me. I came to the conclusion that this individual who was bragging about her masters was trying to make herself better then me. What I also realized is that we were both assistants, on the same level in our roles. When I realized that I was like ain’t that something. Just food for thought.
She has her Masters , but can't get a higher position than you. Whose the real dummy rofl .. enjoy your debt honey
"You can dumb down your life." Simplest but yet deep advise. I'm in a state of practicing minimalism in my life while learning how to continue to express myself in ways that fulfill my life's purpose. Great video.
Agreed! And then it's the phrase, "If it ain't posted then it didn't happen or don't matter" like whet? You don't have to post or tell eveything. Keeping up with and trying to impress others (ESPECIALLY on social media 🙄) will have you depressed, broke and/or lookin stupid. Now the hateration has begun smh Oh, and don't let somebody put you on blast 🤦🏾♀️ whew chile! Do for YOU to make YOU happy 😊
@PGsfinest07- i agree- i have people who refuse to take vacations with me b/c i rarely take pics. I want to enjoy the experience to the fullest. The pics are for other people. The same for certain material items. I’d rather pay for a vacation instead of a expensive bag.in the same token i’d rather have a handmade bag over whats popular. Items don’t validate me my integrity does. I feel mentally free!
This video came on time for me. It’s something I’m struggling with especially being in my mid 20’s. Especially, the Masters part! It’s like a competition you didn’t sign up for😫. Thank you Corey!
My pleasure 💯
Sometimes I just have to remind myself to take a deep breath and say the words "I am enough" it's so easy to get distracted and caught up in meaningless things.. it seems like everyone is trying so hard to be something there not and things would be so much more simple if everyone could just be themselves. each new day is a blessing and the present moment is what's real because the past already happened and the future isn't guaranteed.
You said it best!
@@CoreyMJones3
Thank you! :) 🙏💐🌈
Hahaha, This is so apt. Thanks for sharing such valuable content. I do say, if we can think purposefully and live purposefully, a lot of the sicknesses will disappear. Envy, pressure, can really make us fall short of great health.
You've stepped on a lot of toes Mr. Jones. The internet is a curse and blessing. You definitely can't take it at face value. I've always said most of these $300 purses, don't have $300 inside. We have definitely got to work on our priorities.
Ain't this the damn truth. I've been shaking my head for yearrrssss on this topic! It's so sad how this time is.. the biggest narcissist I've ever seen in this age... & no different from high school we got grown ass ppl out here pretending to be something or someone they're not to feel validated...ppl will go hard to get fly but struggle to get their asses by!!! But yes thanks for sharing big facts👏👏
So much depth in this video!!
Thank you
I'm a private person, and don't like folks in my business in general. I've always been that way. Most folks aren't living in reality, but on social media only. It's sad, but unfortunately that's the world we live in. If I knew then ( when I was your age) what I know now smh...the amount of time saved in general. Keep on your assignment Corey, you're doing a great job👍.
damn i feel u, n i feel dat all things dat i’m doing it’s all the most it’s all for empress, i wish i would stop it, thank you man 🙏🏽
Be Yourself!
Tell ‘em Corey!
This is so needed around this time of year!
Facts 💯
Another gem big bro 💯 definitely needed this reminder to reflect and reevaluate fasho
Reflection is key 🔑
You are so right. Whenever I think I want to do something extra or anything that is going to cost me money, I sit and ask myself why? Am I doing this for me, what will doing this really do for me in the long run, and do I really want to do it, or did I see some one else doing it or something similar and think maybe I can get the same happiness that they seem to achieved. It took me some time to learn this but, I’m glad I matured enough to realize that I needed to question my reasoning. It also saves you money and valuable time.
Back in the 80s there was a cool tv show called LA Law. I know a lot of people who went to law school because it looked good. Most of them did not enjoy working in the legal field and moved on.
I love this video. Absolutely nothing wrong with getting a degree but make sure you use it when you’ve got it!
Exactly! Get the ROI
Believe it or not I have never had social media (UA-cam is the closest it will get to that lol). It has it's pros and cons but truthfully I am super happy without it. I have been just fine without it 😊🙏
I am currently in school to complete my bachelors after not being in school for a while and I already know I will go directly onto my master’s degree because, I am starting a second career and I needn’t masters degree for that career. I was drained and from my previous career and I needed something new and different.
Facts just be yourself if ppl vibe with you that’s cool but not everyone feels your vibe I say connect with the ppl who do and continue to be the best you that you can be ❤️💯
Big facts
@@CoreyMJones3 yes sir
Well Said! Amen!
❤️❤️❤️
Thought about these very things a lot lately. Friends have gotten MSN….but I still don’t feel like it’s for me right now. Until I determine the good and cost I’m not budging on that decision. As I’ve gotten older I realize that a large percentage of things I want I really don’t need to live this life. Simpler has proven to be better for me at this stage in my life.👍
Such a timely message👌.
STAY BLESSED
Everybody do what you want. Get your master's degree, be a rapper, IT expert, lawyer, business owner, photographer, UA-camr etc... its up to you. People should mind their own business and stop being jealous of other people degrees, career choices or anything that they decide to talk about or do.
Facts! Lol everyone should do as they please.
You have a great smile ✨
IN MY BUSINESS AND I LIKE IT !
Love this video but I love the hoodie even more!
Glad someone said it!!
I want to go back to school to better myself i have raised my kids and now i want to takecare of my self and have something to add for the husdand that god bless me with,and i learning from you to live with less simpelizim i have to much it being just me so im getting rid of things and living more organized thank you cory
Great reasons 👏🏾👏🏾
Phd or Master's.... can't use that for a ticket into heaven. Growing up in Detroit going to school you would see your friends at the party store.... hey you got food stamps too!!!! But at school they wore Jordan's and designer outfits. I didn't try to impress anyone, I got my godwill Christmas box with jeans and a red sweatshirt, and people laughed....you have it too, lol. Never care about what people think of you, they can assume you are poor because you drive a old car, but in reality you have a good career, debt free, a place to live, and most of all happiness. Things of these world will soon pass away and you can't take them with you. In life you have to balance between work and happiness, for me being 40 yrs old I enjoy skateboarding and boxing. I have had my same car for 18 years, as an aircraft mechanic I don't need to keep up or to impress anyone. My job is to take care of my wife and family and live a life full of happiness before the Lord returns.
Rite on brother
Aint that the truth
Yes a lot of people go get more degrees because they are single and feel like they should be doing something in the meantime until they meet someone significant.
Facts
This came at the right time. Much appreciated my brotha
💯💯
Im going back to school to take care of my self but as a singel woman i need to enjoy life alone and due more for my self but im not materialistic im a very simpel woman.
Hallelujah! Amen!!!
This, especially since crossing...
I want a large house, because it’s a want for me.
Good reasons!
A wise person knows the value of living in the shadows. 😉
This is a great perspective!
Thank you!
As for me. I wanted to further my career because I knew I would need a Masters or Doctorate degree in order to teach nursing at a university. Because I do not want to retire working on the floor or in management. I need to be teaching younger and more energetic future nurses. I have no business being on anyone floor in my 50s and 60s. Nothing against the nurses that want that for their career, but not this nurse.
I hear you 💯
#Message… Thank you Corey!
Hello Buddy.
You preached. Some are pushed into that phase by some their parents also, because their friend's son or daughter did a Masters you must do it too.
My point exactly! We have to make better decisions on why we make choices. A lot of people don’t realize they’ve been conditioned to think a certain way rather than taking the time to actually think if it’s something they actually want to do for themselves 💯
We can't live for other people expectations
👋🏽 Interesting topic 💛💛💛💛
🖤
That's why I stopped Instagram I had to wake up after the pandemic the foolishness is comparing culture. The best thing is to read the Bible and get close to Jesus Christ you get your value from God. Thanks so much
Wow…. How old are you?
At 54 I still have a lot of my peers chasing the dream. Digging themselves into a lifetime of debt. Creating stress for themselves.
I wish I had let go of that nonsense sooner. I didn’t wake up until my mid 30’s.
Beware of folks selling the dream. A degree doesn’t magically turn into a lucrative position. Education is a big business. Student loans must be paid back, with interest.
People buy houses, cars, and other things to impress others, and to run with others.
I didn’t go to Howard to please no one …. This Grad degree is solely for my drive and passion ..
That’s the way it should be!
The Master's part was spot on. That tells you nothing about who she is as a person. Maybe that she's a hard worker and driven, but it has tells you nothing about her personality or core values.
You said it best!
I was that person that made their education a character trait and lookin back, I was out here looking crazy! 😆
Lol at least you can admit it
@@CoreyMJones3 if a person tells you they have a degree in something obviously it is something they love to do or wanted to do at that time. They may feel it is an important part of their character and or work ethics. For conversational purposes, if you can talk about sex, hobbies, sports, movies or cooking then why can't a person talk about their education or plans to start a business? I personally don't like football but would never criticize a friend if he wanted to talk about it. I love my friends with degrees and I don't hesitate to have a conversation with them about it. There IS a difference in personality whether you are educated or not. For example, a police officer doesn't act like a teacher with a degree in Chemistry. There are many views on this, think outside of the negative box. Educational conversations are good in my opinion.
Oh yeah for sure! Education should be talked about and is important to mention. This video is specifically is outlining that everyone doesn’t pursue higher education to learn and to move up the latter. It’s to show that some people do it just because they want to look good to others. Which again, is okay. But I don’t agree with that particular reasoning behind incurring more debt. If one is going to get in more debt, it should be for the right reasons and the decision should be thought about more. But I do agree with your statement.
A lot of people are getting their masters and PHD’s for bragging rights, and that increases debt over time.
Ahh man I enjoy your content but didn’t agree much with this one. I earned my master’s to make a better life for myself and it put my salary in the 6 figures. Anytime I hear a person tell someone they need to “dumb down” anything it makes me cringe. Not calling you a hater but most people who speak this way are speaking from a place of hateration. Whether people do these things for flashy, selfish or unselfish reasons let’s celebrate the fact they are doing something positive for themselves, especially in the black community.
I hear ya! That just mean you’re doing it for the right reasons. I’m happy for anyone who do these things whether it’s for flashy or selfish reasons. The goal is to help someone make a better decision. It’s pointless to go into debt just for something to be flashy or doing things just because everyone else is doing it 💯💯
I agree Pisces Pisces. I don't think anyone ever attended college for 4 or 6 long years just to impress a "bum" or "someone who is confused with their own life goals." Most if not all people graduated from college because #1 they were smart enough to do it and #2 They improved their own life by pursuing their own dreams. The hateration from people without a degree is real. Education debt is better than credit card and auto debt or bad credit so people should mind their own business and pay their own bills.
People are hungry for titles and prestige because social media painted a picture for the public.
