Yes We Can

[jennifervillegas95]

For some reason I always think things will change when I get to college cause I'll feel more independent and I'll be paying for my classes, so I'll actually feel the need to do my work and stuff. My grades aren't failing, I mostly get Bs and Cs but Cs and Ds have been the majority, lately. When I first heard you talk about how your study habits changed and stuff, I was like :o that's gonna be me!! Lol literally. But what exactly motivated you do better in school?

[jennifervillegas95]

Or maybe this is just me making excuse for my laziness? Maybe it's a combination? Idk. Like I rather help someone with their paper, someone who actually, really wants to do the paper and who does feel fulfilment with getting their school work done. And at the same time I know that if you wanna make a difference in anything, you have to be willing to help yourself and be the best person you can be and stuff cause one blind person can't help another blind person (metaphorically, of course..)

[jennifervillegas95]

I just don't feel the need or desire to write it. I rather sit here on YouTube, listening to you talk and learn about things that actually interest me. But at the same time, I know school is really important and that I shouldn't take my education for granted and you know, all that jazz. And STILL I'm not motivated. Like idk what it is. I feel like I needa go see a psychologist lol ok, I guess I just don't feel a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment with writing my thoughts down for a grade?

[jennifervillegas95]

paper that I've been needing to write. I don't know if you remember or if you'll even read this but like 4 nights ago, I wrote a comment to one of your videos. Yeah, I was procrastinating for the same paper. And the topic is actually about something that's interesting (MLK and Malcom x, which is so ironic cause you just pulled out MX's autobiogrophy in this video) yet, I still can't get myself to write. I almost feel insane, really. Like, I already know the content of what I'm gonna be writing

[jennifervillegas95]

I can't get myself to be motivated in school. I've been bribed with money, told the consequences of not doing well and a whole bunch of other stuff. Throughout my whole entire academic career, I've been told by my teachers that I'm really smart, that I could get straight As if I wanted, that I could be really successful and stuff..yet, I'm still not motivated. The thing that you said about doing things according to your feelings? That's me. For some reason I can't get myself to write this 5 page

[JacobCS2]

ncie vids i like them u seem like a funny ncie good guy keep keeping it real XD

[xenniex2]

Youtube needs more people like you

[livinlikesb]

hello, if i may ask, what is your major? or majors... and minors.. you seem really well educated in political science, psychology, and stasitics?.. im not sure.. please let me know :)

[13141beizi]

YES I CAN.

[billyRwicked]

...I'm GOING to pass my courses. All of them, although my teachers hate me...Totally possible still. Yay for positivity!? ...OH YEAH!

[AmanJohnK]

@billyRwicked I had a teacher that HATED me, and then the next year I had the same teacher and went from a D to an A....totally possible to do well even if the teacher hates you.....when you start doing well - they get nicer =P

[MirageScience]

A lot of people really do need to learn this.

[vargas903]

haha everything u said is so true

[haaardstyle]

I want to get out of this shitty town and go to school at a different university in Florida.

[shaylina430]

Lol

[MartianSnow]

very inspiring thank you

[Playdead117]

You're the best Aman. You're gonna be a big success, don't be afraid haha.

Its so random that you sent me a message and i ended up loving your videos. Everything you say resonates with me as absolute truth. I've been listening to this audiobook the last few days called "The 11 Forgotten Laws" Its by this guy named Bob Proctor he was in a film called "The Secret"... You've probably heard of it. I highly recommend everyone check out the audiobook and the movie, its deep stuff.

[nddons09]

[krjetz]

This video is the most inspiring video I've ever seen. I can do anything.......Never really thought of it like that. The funny thing is, it was mentioned to me earlier today by one of my friends after football practice since tomorrow we're doing tackle drills and I'm not one basically made for tacling. But this video and his advice put together just made me feel like superman. Thanks :D

[missbrwneyez09]

you are very cool. Yes We Can! this is great!

[Railroadhill]

I read about a double blind test whereby not only the students were randomly chosen and told they were exceptional but the teachers were also chosen randomly and told they were the most exceptional and it still worked !

[xxalyssa1952xx]

Yeah I am and who says "Face-palm?" What's pathetic is your fake optimisim and you need a reality check because 14 year olds still are immature. :P

[T14PAJ1414]

Telling people they're pathetic over YouTube is pathetic.

Oh wait... - LMAO

Keep doing what you're doing, Aman!

And don't let little miss sunshine over here get you down.

PEACE!

AJ

[xxalyssa1952xx]

Little Miss Sunshine over here hates your guts. STFU and stop being an ass. K? Bye.

[T14PAJ1414]

Love is in the air! <3

ZackRampage <<-- thanks! did you find me through blogTV?

[PicturesForMyMom]

thought you were gonna talk bout something else

[AmanJohnK]

PicturesForMy Mom --- what would you like me to talk about? =)

[panamajak57]

that psychology stuff is bull shit. but ok. and btw. i'm gonna take a shot in the dark and call you a narcissist.

[AmanJohnK]

panamajak57 <<--- how can you say psychology is bull and then use a term from it to insult me? not logical at all. Why are you so negative about me? seems to me that you're either an angry person or jealous. I'm basing this off the evidence you've presented of a nasty attitude. Your judgment on me is based off the fact that I want other people to succeed? hmmmm -- narcissist are obsessed with themselves, clearly wishing well upon others is not narcissistic. FAIL.

[lovelylady0200]

once again what you spoke about was motivation,encouraging,and well spoken.

p.s I want to thank alphacat for exposing you. if it was not for him, I would of never knew of you.

[AmanJohnK]

lovelylady0200 <<--- if it wasn't for Alphacat, I would never know how funny you are! =D

[Zexcooley]

this guy is weird

[lovelylady0200]

I have to disagree. He is so full of wisdom and motivation. I never saw a 20 year old with so much intellect.

[AmanJohnK]

you're making me blush =/ =)

[AmanJohnK]

Zexcooley <<-- I'm sure someone has called you weird before too, if they haven't then I thikn that's weird!

[AmanJohnK]

Chadb4201 <<---yessir!

[riotboy9]

[AmanJohnK]

riotboy9 <<--- is that even out in theaters yet?

[riotboy9]

the movie is a documentary

[Sirrom0206]

You are 100% correct!

If you're not producing, you are wasting time.

[AmanJohnK]

Sirrom0206 <<< ----and time is money

[asianpker1]

all u say is true lol

[AmanJohnK]

asianpker1 <<--- thanks! are you an Asian penalty Kicker? lol

[lucas13789]

is getting subscribers good cos you can then go collect "hypothetical money" like in southpark...?

[AmanJohnK]

lucas13789 <<--- getting subscribers is good because then you can become a youtube partner and collect real money =P

[asterix908]

What if I don't believe in myself? Can I settle for being a couch potato instead?

[AmanJohnK]

asterix908 <<-- why don't you believe in yourself, and no! we should always strive for our best and live to our potential =)

[mynameisjonas45]

Why do people like to get subscribers? Is there a reward for it?

[AmanJohnK]

mynameisjonas45 <<--- yes, if you become a youtbue partner, you make money off of the videos you make on youtube! it's great!

[863jojo863]

Santana89k <<--- that's right! for realz

[PirateScream]

Thanks for a positive message!

[AmanJohnK]

PirateScream <<-- no problem, I think a lot of people need more positive messages these days =)

[DukePowell]

Why do people go out of their way to say insulting things to people. if you don't like it, just go to another video. Don't you value your time?

[AmanJohnK]

DukePowell <<--- haters are lonely, jealous, and frustrated people, I actually feel sorry for them!

[Jerbear767]

If you don't like the video then don't watch it...

Don't post stupid and hateful comments about it.

Anyways...I really liked this video and a lot of what you said makes sense. This is the first video of you I have seen, but it made me subscribe. Keep it up!

[AmanJohnK]

JerBear767 <<--- thanks, i'm glad you can stand up to all of my haters!

[yoshifirebird]

dallcow81 <<--- why thank you =)

[yeahsee33]

Now you've made me feel stupid, because the people who administered my test in school early on said I was gifted. Glad to know the secret is that it's a manipulative motivational tool.

You could sell Micro Machines, you talk fast.

Good job though, stay positive.

[AmanJohnK]

yeahsee33 <<--- LOL well maybe you are gifted, we'll see.

[XxDarkBlood00xX]

[schiebs17]

bullshit there all lies

[AmanJohnK]

schiebs17 <<--- I think you meant "they're all lies" and which ones do you think I'm lying about?

[schiebs17]

if u had 4.0 gpa don't u think u should be doing something better with ur life instead of making shitty youtube vids

[AmanJohnK]

schiebs17... 1 a 4.0 means nothing especially since most colleges have a lot of grade inflation. 2. what you'll notice about people who are possibly smart is that they are multi-talented - I can make GOOD youtube videos and study to become w/e it is I want to do in life. 3. what if I just enjoy making videos? why you gotta hate?

[N9olan]

Jealousy is usually the answer.

[AmanJohnK]

what I should be doing is writing back to the people that do like me instead of writing back to people like you =P lol

[OwenLeeJuan]

Thats great!! I'll subcribe if all your messages are this motivating!!

[AmanJohnK]

OwenLeeJuan <<--- thanks! I try to stay positive

Wow you are so inspiring. I do have plans and golds too. It changes on the way. It will all work out, because "yes we can" and anything will work out.

[AmanJohnK]

pleasesweetie <<--- =D what our goals are will certainly change throughout our lives, but it's always nice to know you're trying to achieve something, that you have something to live for, but don't forget to enjoy the present =)

[amauta5]

What's a youtube partner?

I want to go UCSF medical school.

[AmanJohnK]

amauta5 <<--- wow medschool =)

a youtube partner is someone who gets revenue of their videos by letting google place ads over their content....a good way to make some extra cash, but very hard to obtain partnership
