1 Hobby that changed my life: tuning into Ali’s channel
Miniclip... OMG
True
Exactly 💯💯
Lol that's so true!! We can basically learn anything from his channel ;)

Ali: 4 hobbies that changed my life
Also Ali : it's time to show my card skills
😂
😅😂
You changed my life by being a flash game. :_)
1000% agree with the coding part, especially the part of it ”unlocking a new realm” of business ideas. The empowerment is that looking at almost anything you have the feeling ”I could do that”.
Progression in working out also has a similar effect strangely.
yeah
im a huge fan Kalle!
Bro, you need to know your algorithims before you can create a useful website with interesting interactions. If you just code it, you"ll have smth with no sense. I like your hopes anyway Ali.
fan of his work , really cool guy
When your Programming content creator meets your productivity guy.🙃
I love this video. I truly agree that you need to diversify not only your sources of income but also sources of inspiration and activities. Do not let one profession or activity define who you are. It is a limiting mindset :)
i agree 👍
Ali wanting to become a hacker when he was younger is such a mood lol
I'm ur 69th like but also yeah it is pretty cool
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stranger...or whatever.” - Ali Abdaal, Girl Swooner, 2021.
Admire the precision. Like a surgeon with a scalpel.
that was a line by Heath Ledger in Batman dark knight in the bank robbery scene!
@@rahul2k208 I missed that lol
Stronger or stranger?
@@sufyan2568 Maybe watch the video. I dont remember it now.
I swear I've learned more from Ali than my entire high school eduction...
Change schools mate
@@anuravsingh6831 it's too late, I've already finished school 😭
You didn't listen at school that's the only difference
Considering you still can't spell...I'd say that's accurate
🤗
I dont know what it is. Whenever I'm watching one of Ali's videos, I suddenly get the urge to change my life for the better.
Same
Same but then I end up doing what I'm always doing: being a waste man
@@lancevanceGTA That's the essence tho
Cudnt agree more😋
I agree with you
It's super cool to see that you're also into magic. Love your channel!
Magic: you mean codiing?
Wow Asad is here man I've been following you for years now 😂😂😂
Damn i used to watch you soooo much in the past🤧🤧😌
Ikr
OGs..in comments 🔥
Have been watching for 4 years now
1. Coding and web design
2. Playing music
3. Performing magic
4. Teaching others
*If everything goes to poop and you lose your job(s)...*
Most people: Unemployment benefits

Love this!!! Magic completely changed my life too - keep up the videos brother :)

I feel like the best thing about life is learning a new skill and so many people don't realize this.

Mine were Investing, dancing, soccer and flirting. One of them made me a lot of money sometime ago. Who can guess?
Investing? Most likely in stock trading!!! Made my first million through it earlier this year as a newbie after I met a professional from a reputable firm... Retiring by next year with absolutely no fears!!
@@NathanLewis7871 Thats really impressive. Have tried doing that on my own without any luck for sometime now. Who is this professional you worked with please
@@thepotter867 "Martha Elizabeth Linsley", she was in the news when she revived Grumac company in 2018. You can look her up on the web to get more on her!
@@NathanLewis7871 Wow I know this pretty little lady. Met her once at a fundraiser in Dallas. Great speaker.
flirting?
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stranger”. That explains a lot.
I remember back from year 7-9 people used to take the piss out of me for doing magic and then i stopped but this lowkey makes me want to get back into it

Ali being a massive nerd is so relatable. I had humour and good handwriting as personality traits 😂
I definitely agree with playing music. I'm no expert, but learning the piano has changed many things about myself for the better.
Even if you're terrible in the beginning, you can do it. Just tackle things one day at a time
Remember that in the end, the most important thing is to love what you do,
great video !
Just true. Only that keeps you happy and consistent with what you do.
I love how each hobby had a specific lesson that can be used in almost any other area of your life. This is so cool and helpful!!
You’re an extraordinary young man. I am so amazed.
Thanks Ali. Its funny how life spills from one area into another. You never know how what you do today might influence your life tomorrow. Keep the great content coming!!
Miniclip was definitely the vibe!! 🎮
🤙🤙
Ali is so right -- low self esteem issues can drive you to do things that you perceive to leverage our image in front of people. I am a classic example. All my life I felt that I was not even remotely pretty so studied a lot, participated in literally all activities in school, and tried to be the kindest person around. Now I am a master's in aerospace engineering, I have modeled a tiny bit, win several honors for writing & engineering, and somehow try to not to hurt anyone. Alhamdulilah. Glad that I had such issues grow up. But low self esteem can also tarnish your image in your own eyes making self loathing a very possible reality. Need to create a balance with a healthy self esteem and sense of ambition & hard work.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but you’re the coolest person I’ve discovered online. I’ve been influenced to be a nerd that does more than just studying.
Ali: let's play the guitar so that girls swoon over me.
Ali- 2 years later: It was all a lie.
😂
You're a role model for me, in many ways. For instance, exposing your shadow and dark sides of your personality and not being worried about judgment.
Love you from Iran💚💌❤
Let's go Ali!! Anyone reading this i hope you accomplish your dreams. Be diligent, be consistant and you will get there.
Same regards for you
Dude, I love the way you describe how to improve our productivity life. You inspired me to keep moving every day and try new things in my life. Thank you.

Watching youtubers like Ali is one of my hobbies and it has changed my life.
You're the only genuine person I know on UA-cam! Every minute of your videos are fun and inspiring to watch. Thanks Ali!
Doing more DOESN'T mean doing more of everything. Doing more means sometimes doing less, but doing more that is quality and makes a difference!
thank you for sharing all your learning moments, your growth even with adversity, sweating through your shirt memories.

The way you are moving your hands shows how excited you are about your works. 😍
Your channel inspire me. I literally put the schedule and convinced myself to do a little bit every single day.
I relate to Ali being a natural teacher. Although I have unruly students sometimes, I have some good students who appreciate me. And I’m happy to have Ali as the fun non-academic teacher. 👍🏽
It's been 2 months since I am following Ali
I have learned so much Form Him

Hi Ali- Always entertained by how honest and candid you are.
'Crack open the black box', 'Seeking Discomfort', couldn't agree more 😊
Man, I'm fascinated by your ambition. Quite admirable. Pretty cool how you overcame the fear associated with performing even after what you described as one of the most embarrassing moments for yourself.

Ali after he shot the ‘Performing Magic’ bit: “I’m going to send a Calendly Link to Penn and Teller.”
This video actually changed my life!
Ali, you're outstanding youtuber, so inspiring, so clear, so motivational. Thank you very much for your videos, you deserves all your success.
Yes, I'm New to Your Channel, Dr.Ali... I'm here to keep up my learning hours, and as well as I'm in need of a good companionship to keep me in track when I feel low, especially during this Pandemic with COVID duties.
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
Well said
Super 🌠
I personally love this style of your new UA-cam Videos
Apreciate your work!
I wish I could like this video more than once. I’ve watched hours of your videos and some are absolutely amazing but this has to be the best by far. Extremely important takeaways in this video for life in general. Thanks Ali 😊
"When I was 11 I started coding"
Me when I was 11 - Tag, you're it!
haha this is so true
Me:mom I wanted strawberry ice cream.not vanilla._.
Why are you a such a KING 🥺
Agree
What an amazing video! Seriously! I'm 60 years old and I have lots really useful talents (and experiences) in so many different things, that I would love to be able to share. Your video has inspired me to learn the things that you mentioned for my own growth (of course) and the things I have to share with others. Thank you so much 🙏
Loved the video, I think it adds so much more fulfillment to your life when you just start TRYING those things you'd always wanted to do:) I recently started uploading my poetry online even though I was always scared of sharing it, and it has been so amazing!
I feel so boring because I’ve never had a “hobby” - might steal one from Ali
Those card tricks be giving me Andrei Jikh vibes 😝
Wow. I have personally never met someone who's worked hard on their hobbies. You've become an inspiration for me. Thanks!!
You are really living the life man! Huge respect
To any one reading this. Another day alive is another day in paradise. Another day is another Opportunity to get closer to your dreams & aspirations. MUCH LOVE!

yes.. but unfortunately we take everything for granted. this is a good reminder.
Ali looks so cool in the thumbnail, like it reminded me of the thug life with the glasses and cigar 😂
Exactly
I took a Bootcamp class in UX design a few years ago and loved it as a hobby because I loved the creativity that came from it
Your videos are so soothing. The sound of your voice inspires.
WATCHING from KENYA 🇰🇪
Lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
🤗
I can't imagine my life without music. It truly is a life-changing hobby, regardless of what career you choose.
One thing you are really good at is weaving a story :) I have probably heard what you said today so many times in multiple videos on your channel, but every time you put it across, I still listen. Thats another magic you know.. using words and voice to keep people hooked to your story :) Way to go, millionaire!

Hey you're killing it man! Love your videos, they are an inspiration to me.

Wowow never been so early! I love how all the hobbies include some form of sharing and engaging with others :)
Long time viewer, first time writing a comment, Ali I really appreciate your content, it has been constructive throughout my time at school, work, and school again!, I'm from Mexico and odds are that now I'm studying a MSc in London! Imagine if I bump into you some time! Cheers mate!
I just finished nursing school and got into coding as well. It’s so much fun, taking home courses to get better.
👏🏻👏🏻 how cool!
That’s awesome. Thank you for commenting. I’ll refer you to my trade analyst and accountant Mr Greenwood to make good income, go more on digital assets..

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but I noticed it weeks ago. Fella is getting FIT! Good for him.
I love how genuine you are, the background music is relaxing too. Great content man 🤙

I love how Ali's idea of a hobby as a teen is coding n web design n music n all that n here I am still struggling with Twitter 😂 also why did u drop the good old PRODUCTIVE TITLE ...kinda miss it ngl
😅
Me: formulas.
Ali: formili
I've learned something new today.
Get in touch
Love this inspirational video. Thanks a lot ☺️☺️☺️ I realize that I have so many black boxes inside my mind. I’m not a young kid anymore to try to be cool, but I’ll try to learn more new skills in the next 10 years.
Those card tricks are insane! You should become a magician instead of a doctor 😂
Let's be real here, ali can pretty much do anything 😂
Oh damn that card flipping in the beginning...i smashed the like right away...ali is just taking up his game
Met your video today, fell in love today! Kind of made me feel life is a good thing
I question myself every day whether I should start learning coding (being two decades older than Ali when he started :D)
^this guys is fake
3 minutes in and this video has already changed my life 👌😀
Great Video! I did all three of those things apart from coding for fun! (I would randomly blab about what i learned at school to my younger cousins feeling smart)
I mean.. he is perfect at whatever he wants to learn..
Eeeeeeee my man back with another productive vid which will remind me how unproductive my life isss...
I started learning Magic and Cardistry in 2015 or 2016 and seeing Ali performing a Cardistry movement really blew my mind haha. I would never imagine him doing such a thing. Today, I barely practice it anymore though. Anyway, amazing video as always Ali ❤
Man you’re like a source of positivity, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
@Ali Abdaal another scammer 😪😪
Had never been this early😜
You are an inspiration for an unmotivated person like me😭😭😭😭
Alright I'm still in my bed
🥺🥺
That’s the magic of life 😂
You’re my fav UA-camr now so glad I stumbled on your channel . BTW a magician is still nerdy but cool at the same time🥰😃
Hi Ali, My name is Charlie, and I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) back in January of 2019. It’s been almost three years and I’m still recovering from my far off the back of my work truck. Anyway, I clicked on the Brilliant link on your channel and joined. Hopefully that will help with my memory. I love your channel, thanks again, and have a great night.
Disagree. You are like Elon Musk (in a more down-to-earth kind of way).
Love you sir ❤️❤️
When I watch your video, I lose myself in an another world .
it felt like i was listening to a friend in this one Ali! amazing video!!!
The whole video is a competition between Ali and his hands, every time he starts a new line, his hands scores! Nice one ali!
Having hobbies saved my motivation and joy for life! roll skating, painting and native american flute playing, writing poetry, digital journaling! True, thank you! 𑁍 wish I could have those skls that are useful too
Glad that I share some hobbies with you. I also like writing. I've been writing journals for more than 20 years now. But I have almost no talent in writing poems 😂. I also like painting and playing instruments (I'm practicing piano). I think at hobbies are useful somewhat as they really brings joy (like piano, painting), and helps us a lot in our daily life (like journal writing).
@@hipiano oh how cool there! Well I started on youtube actually ,bad ish at all, just beginning. Journaling takes a lot more time in writing but I love to write with hand and ink ت︎. I'll keep it on youtube. Wow that much journaling that is quite an amazing achievemenet! thank you for inspiration! Oh I love the piano, wish I coyld be good at it, sounds like heaven. My fave is Chopin by Arrau, Nocturnes ♡︎
wow, yes, joy is such an asset, really underatted! wish you good times and a lot of joy!
omg you have yt, will see them, thankx, subscribed, I really love pianoت︎
💜🌌your painting w van gogh is a gorgeous one! love it
Ali, thanks a lot for your awesome 👌 tips and advices for our life!!! Keep up the perfect work you are doing 👏 !!
I thought Pete was the only magician I watch, but Ali is also onto a whole another level!!!
