    "But at this point I'm still very confused about what they're trying to say, but doing physics is really about working through that confusion until you figure out the answer."
    I really love that you said this. As a person that tends to be very self-critical, it's often hard for me to imagine that Harvard students or Nobel winners or people at the top of their field ever feel confused at a problem or don't know where to start. I sometimes feel as though people in those positions are always on top of it and I'm just built different and not as smart. I know it's silly, but it's where my mind goes when I'm getting down on myself. So thank you for this insight into your studies. It reminds the rest of us that even the smartest and most capable among us get confused or stuck and to keep going. Never give up.

      I ask because I'm in my Junior year at school in India and am trying to talk to physics and/or engineering students to decide where and in what to apply. I hope its not an inconvenience.

    This video is so inspiring yet so terrifying for me. Academia is the one thing I’ve never been able to dedicate myself to, I have always put in the exact amount of effort needed to pass my classes, never an ounce more. When I graduated and started working, that was when I truly felt motivation to get work done. I can never feel the same way with formal studying, and it’s been haunting me cause I have been meaning to take my Masters, but I for some reason have always dreaded putting in work into my studies.

    I actually liked/loved the back story you told about crossing the bridge from Cambridge to Harvard. It was very inspirational and sounded like there was a lot of emotions involved in that journey. Also about your watch it's so amazing that you associated that expensive watch to a priceless memories of you working so hard for it with your father. This kinda tells things which are earned with a commitment and hard work are more precious because memories and journey is associated with them not necessarily because they are expensive and luxury...it's really inspiring you enjoy and take pride in wearing that. Wishing you tons of luck for your future endeavors 🙂.

I remember when I was a law student I could never study in a library, I just couldn't concentrate with the people around me, someone is eating, others getting up to use the bathroom, others to get coffe....Later on when I went to master studies I studied at weekends when I was home and I wrote both of my master thesis in my room surrounded with books. PhD thesis was the same, I could never concentrate at work.

    Woah you're doing quantum computing too, that's awesome. I have this great opportunity to do research with professors at UCI regarding quantum research and I am so excited. I'm a bit nervous since I'm still a high schooler, but I hope to follow your pathway.

    I have been mesmerized by what I saw in this video. I know that you have been working really hard for your entire life to be a part of this environment but it is a heartbreaking fact that you have to have certain "qualifications" to be a part of the Ivy League Colleges. Anyway, your storytelling and editing in this video are beautiful just like the content. It is very inspirational video and I wish you good luck and the best in your journey in life...

    What a beautiful video, I keep mementos from all my previous "slave-labour" jobs as I reminder for where I started. I'm About to finish my first year in undergrad physics and I still hope I can do post-grad at my dream university - Cambridge. Its always the little motivational things that make you push yourself further.

      Hey man, I just wanted to ask where are you doing your undergrad from because I'm in my Junior year at school in India and am trying to talk to physics and/or engineering students to decide where and in what to apply. I hope its not an inconvenience.

    Different routine:
    Skipping the sport and smoothie routine.
    Go to work and get a coffee while the first student is annoying you, answer emails, do project(s) organization stuff, keep it all going.
    Lunch at cafeteria.
    Do some other organization stuff, reading papers and do thinking about their solutions/or design and plan experiments. End of workday. Pause, do social stuff to prevent insanity.
    At home do modeling, simulation, programming until late at night.
    After about every 2 months experiment run is performed. Many experiments in one week, every one given a special task. And repeat the cycle. Guess 2-3 cycles left for final results.

    Your videos are great! Been following you all semester as I got accepted into the rank 1 dental programme in the world at Karolinska. They really bring some weekly joy. I can really relate to being surrounded by great achievers due to the nobel comittee working at my university. It really inspires me to do better everyday.
    Keep making awesome vids✌️
    Also that smoothie looks delicious, do you mind sharing the recipe?

    I went to Harvard for my masters and I can tell you that MANY of the students I knew were not that bright. They are just amazing at memorizing and taking tests, but actually not bright.

    • @CaptCroctopus

      @@user-pd1lt1ub6z I should add that my professors were legitimately brilliant people and I loved being in their classes. I don’t think a majority of them are far left, but the more conservative ones just avoid politics. My colleagues, however, were nuts.

    2:25 the same thing happened to me! I went to a small private school for undergrad, and at the highest point of campus you could look across the horizon and see Georgetown. I realized how much I wanted to go to school there and I so applied for grad school there and got in!

    Today was the first time I ever watched your video and it's truly inspiring. Funny fact is that I'm struggling right now with a lot of issues regarding work and studies and most of them lead to the one equation: should I push this hard on working to be one of the guys of the academic field? Or should I stick around and keep going as hard as I can to see a dream come true? I know what I want but sometimes you just wonder if you're in the right path. Anyway, thank you for sharing your history. I wanna come back here a few months forward and say that I didnt give up and the game still goes on with our daily accomplishments.

    brotha, get an instapot and a vac sealer. Instapot will make meal prep easier and vac sealer will up your efficiency game by allowing you to make dump meals for the instapot, boil-in bag meals and buy/meal prep in bulk.

    "Hard work is a choice". Genuinely curious, but do you think hard work is a choice for everyone? Because there are people out there with limited resources and opportunity that have to break their back at their jobs to barely stay alive.

      People will say anything to excuse their laziness, he was raised at a farm, his father is literally a construction worker, "breaking his back to barely stay alive". If anything that makes his story even more amazing,
