I'm self reliant. Just not so reliant to also take care of my ex, because I already have to take care of my kids. Self reliance only works if you stay single or have a self reliant partner. I'm not ashamed to say my dad helps me out with 400 a month because of my ex. Other women aren't self reliant either. They have a man who gets money in.
+Arik Haydn I'm a 30 year old teacher, I'm going to take and use a few of these videos for my school and students. Apart from the racism and outdated technology, 1950's USA looked much more better than present day USA.
I am glad those videos are here. As a teen I was left fumbling in the dark trying to figure it out ourselves. Parents are disfunctional and don’t even pass on wisdom like this anymore. I wish I would have had advice like this growing up. I am really glad these videos are here for Guidance.
Lilly Fahey yes I agree with you I’m 33 years old and never received any advice from mom are dad I feel exactly like you happy to have the video and Alux

The parents arent the ones putting all this mouth in your mouths, you are. What about all the drive through foods you get, the extra large coffees . Your parents didnt do it , you did. Parent blaming is so fashionable these days, instead of trying responsibility for your own food choices , you blame your parents. Its very immature to blame others and not take responsibility for your own food choices and behavior.
Yep. Because there's a lot of kids these days that never get beyond that stage. And their parents are too afraid of the Govt and the system to try teaching them!
I absolutely love these old classics. The bit with the dad mentioning some guys take on self reliance, and then just having a copy of it on the bookshelf was absolutely amazing
Don't feel bad for not knowing how to adult. I am almost 30 and just learning. No adults in my sphere ever bothered to teach me practical life skills as a child/teenager. I, too, am very thankful videos like this exist and that someone took the time to upload. They are so helpful. I have seen people comment that videos like these are 'idealized' and that 'life back then wasn't actually like this', but the principles still stand.

This is what I admire about USA. Not sure if it's still very widespread, but the resilient entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance was always aspirational. I see many tendencies in our society for people to let things happen to them rather to make it for themselves.
You are looking at it 80 years ago. It is not that way now! Remember steps 2 and 3. Be informed and know where you are going. Before you develop that baseless admiration.
GoodSunday's amended steps. 1. Assume responsibility(and accept it.) 2. Be informed(And understand it.) 3. Know where you're going(Step 2 helps you figure out how to get there.) 4. Make your own decisions. (5. Act on those decisions.) (6. Reflect on steps 1 through 4 after taking action.)
This video reminds me of my fellow Millennial friends who can't make decisions for themselves. Can't count how many times I heard a friend say when I ask them what they want to do, the reply is "I don't know". And, they are all glued so much to their phones that they lack basic social skills.
Love how there is a playlist on this channel namee "When people were told what to do and think...", and then people come on this channel to find confurmation and advice on what is best. These videos are amazing. We have created natural and the best ways to handle a lot of issues. It's not control or oppression, it's help. It's like saying that we are manipulated into walking forwards, hinting that we should walk sideways or backwards.
It's a shame we don't have these intervals on TV nowadays. It's no wonder mental health is a major phenomenon today. No real guidance in today's society; guidance to last a lifetime seems to be a thing of the past.
@@asielmilian38 yes, really. No one likes a career victim and you need to put your own affairs in order (tidy your room) before you can take on changing the world. Fairly simple but profound ideas...
Love this! Wished my siblings or the teens of today saw these. My cousin still lives at home he is 26, has no job, is rude, mean, and blames everyone for his issues.. I am 25 live by myself and takes care of everything. We weren't raised the same.
@@Helgrimrbro there is absolutely zero shame in living at home so long as you have a job and help with bills. This is something Asian countries practice. Such as Japan, which has the 3rd highest GDP in the world with significantly less people than other nations with a high GDP. I believe it has to do with their work ethic and family bonding. We often cast aside our elderly here in the west, it’s truly sickening
In the late 80s and early 90s when I was a kid, we were forced to watch life skill videos like this in school, and I think I was the only kid in class who was actually interested. The other kids would throw stuff at the video screen, call the actors nasty names, snicker to each other and pass notes about drugs and whatnot. I'm wondering if kids in the 50s just made fun of these videos too...while we sit here binge watching them on our phones! Lol
I remember watching these in school, around 1961-62..around their. Our classes were good. No ruckus…giggling afterwards but not during. But I’m sure most learned, I know I did. My friends and I talked about it walking home. I liked them bc it made sense to me and did help as I grew into an adult
I'm 29 this year and I took a longer road to get where I am now. And now that I have the discipline to reflect on my life's choices, I believe I can make my future a little less hard than it probably needs to be. hope it does the same for you
Love these videos, the comment sections are very interesting! I'm a 27yo lady, but man these videos just really make me happy, their accents & soothing tones just make me feel so peaceful and remind me of my grandmother's house.
I think he meant is not super easy to figure out, but, those were the steps he came up with that he felt might help someone along in their journey trying to figure it out.
Man.. wish they would’ve taught me this in school. It took me kicking myself out of my parents house in order to learn these values the hard way. Just started community college after 3 years post high school. I hope I can make self reliance a cornerstone of my values, matter fact, I will assume responsibility of getting this done. Thanks for resurfacing this video so I can learn the values that made our country successful.
I’m just now reading “Heading Out on Your Own” by Brett McKay (The Art of Manliness). The first paragraph in and he recommended this video. If only they show this to seniors in high school, they’d be WAY better off when the graduate. I’m 24 now and I want to move out of my parents house by next year when I’m 25. Glad I bought the book
Graduated from the time you wrote your comment and I'm loving and hating the life of self-reliance. Making my own decisions impacts my future and taking responsibility for it gets me 1 step closer to becoming a responsible adult. Anyways, wish you the best on your way out of the nest. Planning to do the same by God's will.

I wish you the best BioTeck. I am 28 years old. At age 19, I left my family for 2 years on a volunteer missionary service for my Church. It taught me so much about community service, people's perspective, figured out my own strengths and weaknesses, pondered and made some life goals. I am glad you found the book The Art of Manliness, I read that book and found this video as well.
Jean Louis, No parents are perfect. People say I’ve got great kids, I get compliments on how I raised them. But it never crossed my mind to teach ‘Self reliance’ specifically. I taught them to be responsible for their own stuff and own their mistakes, to be humble and good to others. But when you are a parent you’re juggling so many balls, inevitably some things fall through the cracks.
As a Montessori teacher, we used to call the kids who couldn't do basic things for themselves "done fors"....I presented an essay on Emerson's work Self Reliance my senior year in high school, went to live in Europe for years after that, served me well....

They need to bring these out today in school, only up to date of course. But keep it the same. Kids need this, at least I think so. But our school system would never allow it.
I find this supremely ironic since the things public schools accommodate now are unbelievable! This is one reason why we as a society are going so far off course. Whatever happened to solid values like doing the right thing, hard work and respecting others? They never go out of style but are rapidly disappearing.
@@DR--- It's true that people are interdependent. But kids still need to do the legwork and make their own decisions. When you wipe your kid's ass until he's 25, you get this current crop of Bernie Sanders supporters who want the government to pay for everything. Really, they should follow JFK's quote to ask what they can do for their country!
@@DR--- You missed the whole point of the film. Self Reliance is just another way of saying take extreme ownership for your decisions. You can consult others, seek out all the info you need etc but at the end of the day your decisions are your decisions. A mentor can be of much help but a mentor is only as human as you and prone to error and can also give you bad advice. I have had mentors who i trusted to know better than me and got screwed for following their advice which made me realize at the end of the day i need to seek as much counsel from different sources but ultimately make my own decision to avoid making the excuse that someone else screwed me when they might want the best for me but just gave bad advice at the moment.
Why are people saying "kids"? The students in the film are clearly 17 and 18 year olds, not kids. And ten years earlier, before the concept of adolescence had been invented, they would have been expected to be married and into a career within a couple years. It's hardly too much to expect them to choose their own electives.
@@Jesus6bcAgreed - there are no perfect parents. We all make bad decisions and mistakes - hopefully not ones so big that we played a massive role in screwing them up for life. It’s helpful to own where we did our kids wrong and apologize for our inequities. I would have a relationship with my Dad if he had done so - instead we were estranged until he died. Nobody is perfect and we can build a bridge back to our kids after we mess up - but it takes effort.
Think about it, a lot of people back then were saved the time it takes to learn these things the hard because of films like this. Incredibly convenient.
This aversion to accepting help is why America is in the shape it is today. What people really need to learn is how to function as members of a community.
It's a shame that schools don't show these videos in elementary school to teach children about SELF RELIANT. It would help children so much. There would not be so many lazy, iliterate, sloppy, irresponsible, and not so bright human beings. Sadly, not all children have parents that teach their kids to be SELF RELIANT.
More likely in his sixties. I was born in 1946 and I'm 70 now. I would have turned five the year this was made. I remember people wearing those clothes, too.
#3 is the key "Know where you're going" They ACT as if they know where earth is headed. Destination is unknown, there is no why. They have you chasing, pursuing happiness and happiness comes from within.
Hmmm do they even have students read Emerson’s Self Reliance anymore? Or Thomas Paine’s Common Sense a great treatise against monarchy or what about The Age of Reason? These are the great authors that affected as he said the foundation of our way of life
Schools don't push Ralph Waldo Emerson anymore. Great American author of the renowned book SELF RELIANCE...and other essays. We had to read it in high school.

Watching these videos made me realize ive been raising my children all wrong.☹
@@DR--- It's true that people are interdependent. But kids still need to do the legwork and make their own decisions. When you wipe your kid's ass until he's 25, you get this current crop of Bernie Sanders supporters who want the government to pay for everything.
Really, they should follow JFK's quote to ask what they can do for their country!
@@DR--- You missed the whole point of the film. Self Reliance is just another way of saying take extreme ownership for your decisions. You can consult others, seek out all the info you need etc but at the end of the day your decisions are your decisions. A mentor can be of much help but a mentor is only as human as you and prone to error and can also give you bad advice. I have had mentors who i trusted to know better than me and got screwed for following their advice which made me realize at the end of the day i need to seek as much counsel from different sources but ultimately make my own decision to avoid making the excuse that someone else screwed me when they might want the best for me but just gave bad advice at the moment.
Why are people saying "kids"? The students in the film are clearly 17 and 18 year olds, not kids. And ten years earlier, before the concept of adolescence had been invented, they would have been expected to be married and into a career within a couple years. It's hardly too much to expect them to choose their own electives.
all parents are bad at their job, you just have to do you're best and hope you child does the same.
@@Jesus6bcAgreed - there are no perfect parents. We all make bad decisions and mistakes - hopefully not ones so big that we played a massive role in screwing them up for life. It’s helpful to own where we did our kids wrong and apologize for our inequities. I would have a relationship with my Dad if he had done so - instead we were estranged until he died. Nobody is perfect and we can build a bridge back to our kids after we mess up - but it takes effort.
The world could really use this advice right about now!
GLAD THESE VIDEOS ARE HEE, its reflecting
This is filled with wisdom. I wish I had seen it sooner.
this old time tv is timeless advice
Think about it, a lot of people back then were saved the time it takes to learn these things the hard because of films like this. Incredibly convenient.
What a nicer time.
Eh not for everyone who wasn't white.
10:02 funny it's a french quote on the board "aide toi, le ciel t'aidera" , it makes sense with the subject
I also noticed the verb conjugation of "Voir" on the board. Nice to "see."
thank you so much for this i needed it but was far away uninformed from this channel ....... I'm lucky that i discovered this channel
Just bought the book this video is based on. Great advice in this one.
Assume responsibility
Be informed
Know where your going
Make your own decisions
It's good to know he and Anne from the first date video are still going out.
Self-reliance is important in developing self esteem which leads to success.
I cannot believe that kids today have not been told to read Ralph Waldo Emersons essay on Self Reliance. That was mandatory in my high school
I LOVE CLASSIC VIDEOS FROM 40'S AND 50'S
Thank you so much for this I hope I can use this advice to it’s fullest
Wow this is such solid advice, and well delivered
Yes I will develop the habit of self reliance!
This is one of my favorites 💖
This aversion to accepting help is why America is in the shape it is today. What people really need to learn is how to function as members of a community.
These are Gold !!
This is gold 👍
1 assume responsibility
2 be informed
3 know where you hoing
4 always make own decisions .
I wish I'd had this information when I was younger.
It's a shame that schools don't show these videos in elementary school to teach children about SELF RELIANT.
It would help children so much.
There would not be so many lazy, iliterate, sloppy, irresponsible, and not so bright human beings.
Sadly, not all children have parents that teach their kids to be SELF RELIANT.
At that point in time, the government pushed Americans to be their best. Today, our leaders want citizens to be reliant on the government.
That baby's in his 70's rn
More likely in his sixties. I was born in 1946 and I'm 70 now. I would have turned five the year this was made. I remember people wearing those clothes, too.
@@miriambucholtz9315 Hey! You're the same age as Trump, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger! Good group cohort to be in! Yes, no? 😀
@@edwardgaines6561 Two of them, at any rate
@@edwardgaines6561 Well for two of them, at least...
@@miriambucholtz9315 Your point is taken! I get it! 😀 But the 2020 elections are coming...😥
Sometimes i believe that old items describes the basic concepts in a better and concise way.
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I wish I encountered this video when I was a teen.
So lucky to have found these educational videos before I have my baby ❤
"What in the world are you talking about?" LOL
Great stuff, very inspiring.
#3 is the key "Know where you're going"
They ACT as if they know where earth is headed.
Destination is unknown, there is no why.
They have you chasing, pursuing happiness and happiness comes from within.
Shit makes more sense than anything today.
Hmmm do they even have students read Emerson’s Self Reliance anymore? Or Thomas Paine’s Common Sense a great treatise against monarchy or what about The Age of Reason? These are the great authors that affected as he said the foundation of our way of life
Blame school budget cuts at the state level. 🏫
Self-reliance doesn't seek to blame. It costs a teacher nothing to suggest students read and study particular essays, does it? Or a parent.
My! This video is really a slap to my face telling me to be self reliant
The point is: self-reliance is: What you can do independently without assistance..."
Now people don't even care if they aren't accomplishing much.
Schools don't push Ralph Waldo Emerson anymore. Great American author of the renowned book SELF RELIANCE...and other essays. We had to read it in high school.
Im really glad to find this, thank you for posting :)
Great videos!
Thanks for the suggestion AOM.
5:34 that whistle is pure 50's.
