    Script:
    Blaming others for your problems is a complete waste of time. When you do that, you don’t learn anything.
    You can’t grow, and you can’t mature. Thus, you can’t make your life better.
    In my three decades as a professor and clinical psychologist, I have learned that there are two fundamental attitudes toward life and its sorrows. Those with the first attitude blame the world. Those with the second ask what they could do differently.
    Imagine a couple on the brink of divorce. They’re hurt and angry. The unhappy, bitter husband recalls the terrible things his wife has done, and the reasons he can no longer live with her.
    The harried and disillusioned wife, in turn, can describe all the ways her husband let her down. Each has a long list of necessary changes-for the other person.
    Their prospects for reconciliation are grim. Why? Because other people aren’t the problem. You’re the problem. You can’t change other people, but you can change yourself. But it’s difficult. It takes courage to change, and it takes discipline. It’s much easier-and much more gratifying to your basest desires-to blame someone else for your misery.
    Consider the youthful activist, making a “statement” against the “corrupt” capitalist system by smashing in the storefront of a local business. What has he done, other than to bring harm to people who have nothing to do with his real problems?
    The guilt, doubt and shame he will inevitably feel in consequence will have to be suppressed so his beliefs can remain unchanged. And that suppression will do nothing but foster his anger and alienation.
    In the play “The Cocktail Party” by American-English poet T.S. Eliot, one of the characters is having a very hard time of it. She speaks of her profound unhappiness to her psychiatrist. She tells him that she hopes her suffering is all her own fault.
    Taken aback, the psychiatrist asks why. Because, she tells him, if it’s her fault, she can do something about it. If it’s in the nature of the world, however, she’s doomed. She can’t change everything else. But she could change herself.
    Now, there are people who seem to be consigned to a terrible fate. But most of us aren’t. Most of us have a chance to make our lives better.
    But how?
    Start small. Ask yourself a few questions: Have you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered to you? Are you working to your fullest capacity at school or at work? Have you, in other words, set your own house in order?
    If the answer is no, try this: stop doing what you know to be wrong. Stop today.
    Don’t waste time asking how you know that what you’re doing is wrong.
    Inopportune questioning can confuse without enlightening, and deflect you from action. You can know something is right or wrong without knowing why.
    Start paying attention: Do you procrastinate, show up late, spend money you don’t have, and drink more than you should?

    When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
    I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
    When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
    Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

      BunnyGalore my question is, why would you want to be classified as a victim, like why do leftists always want to be classified as victims. Personally it’s not something I want people to think of me, I just don’t know why they want to be thought of as that. Part of being a victim is weak, persecuted, having part of the world against them, beaten down and many other bad characteristics that no one should want themselves to be thought of. Instead people should try to be the opposite, which is strong, courageous, not taking shit, living your life free without objection, etc. Basically what I’m try to say is you shouldn’t try to be a victim as it makes no sense whatsoever

      S p I don’t know exactly what you’re going through. And I won’t make any religious comments, because that only applies to you if you want it too. But at the very base of humanity and the reason why many people argue we’re put on this earth is to build and develop relationships with friends, family etc. A lot of the time suicidal behavior stems from bad relationships. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this video is introspection. You have to first assess your role in the relationship and go about identifying problems and seeing it through until you find your solutions. It won’t be easy it may take time. But if you can make the relationships in your life work and one day build a family of your own. When you see how you’re perseverance not only brought joy but life to other people, than maybe you’ll understand why life is so precious and every life is worth living.

Also, the amalgamation of two words, such as 'you are' is known as a contraction. Eg. "You're correcting someone in an exceedingly incorrect manner, and making an ass of yourself in the process."

      OhNoItsMicah wrong: there are many ways to put you into plantation, JP has just used one of them on you. Now you will serve your master and will not ask questions about any other way.
      Here is the other way:
      MGTOW in most cases is the right answer to the insane circumstances we are in: you can not blame society for attacking you because of your identity (white male), BUT you can act in a way, which minimizes the chances of being noticed or being blamed. See a woman or girl? Cross the street! This is your contribution to improving YOUR life and the life of all the boys in this world. This is hard, but this is the way to save this civilization. MGTOW.

    Very true. When I went down hard (and I mean, really hard!) with stress, this was what I realised, and that is how I fixed it. What I was doing was clearly not working for me, so I had to try something else. This is much easier if you dare to dig down, and find out what the root of the problem is. When you know that, it is much easier to find out what to change, and how to fix it.

Children is innocent but as they grow old they become corruptible. We were all innocent. As we grow old, we make mistakes and many of us lost our way. Like what Jordan Peterson has said --- If you FIX yourself, you will begin again to realize what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. So Jordan is not saying corruption is ok. As a matter of fact it is the opposite. We can minimize corruption by looking at ourselves and fix whatever corrupted mind and soul we have. That is where we start fixing a corrupted society and government institution..

Where I live, in Hungary, the Party won because of a two year hate campaign against something that never existed in Hungary: migrantion crisis. Also, I don’t know where you got that but I don’t often see ant-jews on the left but on the right.. ooh boi. A lot. Maybe not you, but there are a lot. I tried to reply to most points but going in to every little detail here is not what we want. I just think that political sides have nothing to to with being a man. Having morals, respect towards others and a brave heart does.

    PragerU is like the Nick Fury for conservatives it brings together all the badasses of our ideology

      DRKTROOPER15 Prager is a total fraud. Kahane was Right. He debated Prager and proved him to be nothing more than a liberal

    Best advice my dad gave me when I was young was rather than point fingers at everyone else look in the mirror and ask what more can I do and it warms my heart to see Jordan Peterson elaborating on this idea

    We've all heard the expression, "Think globally. Act Locally." In this case, act inwardly. Dr. Peterson says it with eloquence and genuine purpose. Always a pleasure to listen to him speak.
