Day[9]'s Musings - Being Relentlessly Positive

[mikesaltzman1]

Thank you Day9.

[Pithrivi]

Weird. I converse with a thank you instead of a sorry also. But in this case, I try to do things that would have me avoid having to apologize. If it does come down to the apologetic phase I say, " Thank you for listening, I appreciate your attention span and your ability to direct your attention to the person who made you listen to me, which is me haha." Though I am more of a downer and a naysayer. This positive outlook feels like it might help to those that stop and watch the video. Great vid.

[twistard]

weight loss - improving in starcraft... same same...SHIT

[JoshReflek]

I love watching you Day[9], its always a pleasure. This vid is especially great. Yourr framing technique is great. I'm always trying to tell people this but i feel your delivery is better than mine, so ill be directing people here :)

[Pocshi]

When he told me to smile, I thought he would troll me afterwards

[GiantOfTheNorth]

staying positive has really come in handy after moving from practice league to silver where I constantly get destroyed.

[killingspree]

Good video, but Sean there are other fish in the sea.

[ohaRega]

shorry saun! i have to hang up!

[Skebberz]

Aww... my name is Debbie, and I'm very self critical and depressed... "Debbie Downer" ... my new name ;_;

Seriously though, very good video :D

[GosuVu]

Wish I had some friends like day9. :(

[MirroredBrothal]

Dude! You should'a studdied philosofy!

[dbl2119]

KEEP TALKING PLEASE YOU MAKE ME HAPPY

[MineWind]

Day9 is the man!

[mmeronek]

These are great insights, thank you for sharing them!

[1990parshakov]

лох

[t3hsourcey]

These kind of things conflict with my brutal honesty,so uh..no,thanks.I will keep in mind some things you've said though.

[AssassinDude]

Day[9] I am always captivated by your down-to-Earth, good-humored videos. Not only are you a teacher of many aspects of life (strategy, happiness, fun etc.), you inspire me because you are not afraid of being yourself and you embrace it. I strive to view life as you do: exuberantly and spirited.

*Bows*

Grandmaster Day[9], may you continue teaching for many years to come and we shall continue to learn.

[MrKoliper]

i just have to say this made my day thank you!

[Marth2861]

Really nice video thank you^^ I loved it ideas were great^^ Helpful^^

[Wildebeest2008]

Thanks for this mate. Ive been having some trouble lately. This did resonate with me. Ty

[HomemdaFaina]

So I guess Felicia lost out. Though break Felicia. Thank you Day9.

[veim2406]

Cambria manipulates you DAY9! She is grateful to you for being someone that you might not be, or that you might not want to be, and because you think with your dick(like EVERY guy), you like that she is grateful to you, so you agree with her : "Yes, I am a good person for enduring her unstable lifestyle that creates awkward unplesant situations". All this because you unconsciously want to get laid.... Women are like that... Stand up to women, and you'll get laid, don't endure them.

[mmeronek]

@veim2406 I actually really agree with that, when she says 'thank you' it doesn't seem like she is being sincere, or if that's her interpretation of him then day9 isn't taking responsibility to tell her how he really feels about it, but of course it all depends on what he feels when she says that and the situation. I think I would be put off by her saying that, just from personal experience with the same thing, and it's good to be honest and tell her if I feel that way

[dasDickerchen]

Tomorrow I have my final exams. Thank you Day[9] from Germany...

[dasDickerchen]

@dasDickerchen

and failed -.-

[kentd14109847]

Day9, you are fucking awesome.

[peray0]

Sean I dont know what it is. Your probably an alien or something. But every time I open one of your videos it just seems like your answering a question that I've long searched an answer for. Same goes with your starcraft content <3!

[Mc13anify]

why am i only allowed to subscribe to day 9 once?

[HealthXpoint]

Day9 think he is amir lol

[ACDCAJnl]

being relentlessly positive

day9: 'MAN, I'm DUMB!'

-_-

[MACHINEGUNER09]

hmm this really put my life into perspective about how 95% of my life is ninja stars the only 5% are from some teachers and my parents course i deflect about 90% of the ninja stars

[sotirios2000]

you just watched the secret (documentary) too much ^^

[anorokable]

I AM BEAUTIFUL.

:D

[SirNoddy1]

You know what. I am actually a pretty cool person.

[SmotPokingFish]

what if the bad influence is your parents?

[BladeBloodreaver]

@SmotPokingFish Move out if youre 18 or older. If not, then simply do as they please to solve the issue. The reason your parents are a bad influence is because your parents try to mold you in their way and you resist.

[1337Jogi]

I you are around i the web really often, ignoring trolls is just the best thing you can do.

Really - Do it! Its so much easier and makes you feel more happy.

Day9 is totally correct. You dont have to deal with random people insulting you.

But if there is somwone who tries to critize you to help you or make you aware of sth you dont notice, than listen to him, think about, decice if hes correct and say thanks.

This can make the days of two people just a little bit happier!

[MultiFruitJuice]

I am going to make my deutch report now, i was going to do it tomorrow at school before it would be handed over but now, after this inspriation i fell like i should do it.

Thank you sean :)

[MultiFruitJuice]

if you are forced to have people around you, that are negative? you wouldn't be able to remove them from your life.. what do you do then? if they make your everyday worse. ??

[Arik1989]

I drew a convincing picture of courage the cowardly dog going "Yey!" , I look at it and it makes me smile every time I look at it :)

Day9 , you're cool man.

[adampunton]

Day 9, i don't know if you will read this or not. If you do i want you to know that you put me in a better place in my life. I came here for Sc2 videos and now im staying because you are my hero.

+1 subscriber

[Nollidd15]

go day9

[willcraane]

Just noticed the first two volumes of Akira behind you. Awesome!

[chickenzwings]

Little things i do to make me happy:

-Watch day[9]

-sleep

Thanks you :)

[whiteynator]

what if you've been very stressed and negative for a long period of time and find it very hard to indulge possitive stuff like complements, when you achieve something you've worked hard for or wake up every day next to you possibly future wife?

How do you break out of that habit of blocking positive things and actually come to realise how happy you should be about your life?

[elkbomb]

@whiteynator you could stop trolling youtube with racism for starters...

[whiteynator]

@elkbomb you telling me I'm trolling YT with racism? Really, that's interesting, you got an example?

[elkbomb]

@whiteynator sure, 6 hours ago on this video: watch?v=dWpeBNCYU3g&feature=re­lated

even if you weren't sincere, you have to admit that it's trolling with racism.

[whiteynator]

@elkbomb Yeah sure I'll give you that. I just find it funny with people writing stuff like "fuk u man amma fuk u up meet me im rite here u aint got nothin on me betch fuck u n ur mom", I find that funny. I'm sorry.

[rfh94]

it's funny that he said "successful debater" and the audience heard it as master debater.

[chuckbrown369]

Day[9] You are awesome! I will say "thank you" instead of "sorry." That is the best! Thanks for all the hard work and the positive attitude!

[sandorhn]

lol 0:48 well maybe if I had a little more "up and down" id be a positive person ;p

[WalrusDoctor]

This is like watching that movie "Big". A grown man in a room full of toys, hoping our exams are done, and dancing around about being positive.

[TvZan]

haha, i love you :) i wanna be the child of day9 husky and HD all rolled into one

[AldoreBryer]

females... they are the most negative disgusting deseptive lying neglective annoying creatures. 10 - 15 years EXACTLY that long, ive subconciously been hunting for pu**y and here in sweden, it is impossible if you look brown, big nosed, hairy... now that i hve been busy studying and doing productive things, i am happier. other words: women = waste of life. never spend time complimenting women. does NOT work. rather gay than stright just to forget about that lifewasting gender :D

[Seanze329]

@AldoreBryer I hope you aren't serious...

[SuppaRoost]

As much as i may like the way you view things, i simply don't think it is possible to have such positivity with all the shit that can happen in one's life.

Sadly we live in a world where horrible stuff can happen at any time and honestly there is No way you can look at them with a positive mindset.

[DroehnIng]

@SuppaRoost Things CAN happen but they don't have to. Be happy about things that didn't happen and even more happy about things that went right. Simple as that.

[SuppaRoost]

@DroehnIng Hmm, it seems as simple as that, I don't think it is.

[MusicalTeddybearBomb]

@DroehnIng I agree with you. Its kind of about the frame of mind you hold as well. Being happy is nice..

[asaluci]

Aren't you ignoring half the world if you dispose of negativity? You need both to survive.

[omeleet]

I would like to be the trusted friend who reads through the comments of that particular video and who cuts the happy crap out of those comments.

Here is what is left : .

[Yahcreen101]

This video made my day. Thank you day9 :D

[Dea0X]

Thank you, Day9!

[TheKnownEnergy]

I'm so damn glad I watched this whole video! From now on I'm going to view life in a completely different way now! Day9 has changed my life in this one episode. By the way this is the first Day9 video I've ever watched.

[jasonmage]

I believe that is called PMS.

[Castlevania099]

Day[9], just you to know, you are the funniest person i've ever seen.

[MrTheoneandonley]

Lets start the essay, when its done XD 11:08

[TheRuudern]

Awsome!

[cooporangelol]

This video is so amazing. Thank you day9 for putting random, non-starcraft2 related stuff every now and then. I was being bummed out about a few things that i couldnt get out of my head. I watched this -> Boom. Gone. I feel better now. Thanks. You're more than a vlogger/caster. You're an inspiration, to a view on life itself. Thank you.

[TheJJedi]

Day 9 you are awesome... this is gold.

[cooporangelol]

@TheJJedi This Isn't gold, this is Grand Master shit

[fredisland]

Great stuff... Could you share that in makingmyself(dot)com. That'd be a great post ;)

[fredisland]

Great

[HugoFoxHH]

I play more than 40 H a week and im not pro O.O (play 4 fun :D) VACATION

[Mageblade66]

Thank you so much Sean!

I found this very helpful. You are awesome.

[MaDmanex100]

diablo poster!!!



[Mngzkhuel]

great

[empirerakeback]

Fantastic, Day9, through these videos you are really helping people be happier. Its funny how we forget to do little simple stupid things to make ourselves happier. Being happy and making others happy is one of the most important things to do in life. Of course there are many different ways to accomplish the feat.

[Thedreamshaperabc]

First story is called "friend zone"

[5598713]

"I'm beautiful, why do I give a fuk?" (ノಠωಠ)ノ

[zear909]

50 persons are negative xD

[byrnesi]

Thanks Day [9] I like these, gives me chance to reflect :)

[AirAssault7]

Not sure about the whole compliment a man thing. Your viewers might end up with some black eyes....

[NetherMoore]

HOLY fucking shit the views this gets compared to the other videos... am i the only person who returned to watch this video in full again the third time? (:

[cutelittleelf]

Staring at the sun makes me happy and blind D:

[PinkShroomz]

I must learn to view emotions as Kittens ad Ninja Stars!

[Hapseleg]

If only everyone thought these thoughts..

also

youtube.com/watch?v=m5TwT69i1l­U

this song IS day9

[evilhowser]

Hahaha thank you! this is exactly what i need right now :)

[SnoweyMan111]

Day9, what if an angry person has something important to say? It's well known that (generally) people that are passionate about something get angry when it's not done right.

I know you live in a happy world, I'd love to live in your happy world too. But I can't because I know that many of the angry/negative people I deal with will in some way, make a good point and point out a problem I need to fix.

Best thing to do is ask the angry/negative person to contribute and help fix it.

[NorthHitman622]

@SnoweyMan111 does it really matter tho? why can that person not present that information in a positive way? why does that person have to be a negative nancy to make his point?

[SnoweyMan111]

@NorthHitman622 Yes of course they should. But I can't just say "HEY, be nice to me, and I'l listen". NO people take that as an insult.

That's annoying.

[Siab1337]

10:40 He talks about Good Guy Greg (:

[2Greenable]

Day9 your are freakin awsome! :)

[psycheisssdelic]

Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen. More important than a simple star craft video. A life philosophy. Thank you.

[you2beisoverrated]

Best video you've made, Day[9]. Pure gold. Really inspirational. <3<3<3

[MirageScience]

sorry bud, but reality is amazing without all the gooye mushy fake people

[nqkoi159]

Awesome :)

[g0n3rt1m3r]

Press the CC button at bottom right of video and put on transscribed audio and play from 7:47 "lets say you com" lol

[TheBiohazard86]

You are amazing. I come looking for starcraft and what i get is a good feeling!

[Spudtion]

When he was talking about things that make you happy, my cat had just jumped up in my lap and started purring.

Yeah, I smiled.

[MegaWheelchairMan]

you should be a motivational speaker you're really good at it

[zealot256]

Day9 saved my life. 

[freewebber]

I've seen this like 5 times now.......and I feel better each time :D

[Swissveti]

I'd call it awesomebook!

[xMobbzx]

I came here looking for Protoss help...

I left with life changing advice. I love you Day[9]

[Thunderfvck]

Remember to NEVER mistake that tabasco bottle for lube when the light's off!

[skythra]

@Thunderfvck WTF brand of lube do you use that comes in a bottle like that? :@

[Thunderfvck]

@skythra tabasco lube for when I feel like spicing things up a bit

[rikstrom]

The Greatest Nerd in the World! Love you Day9 (Screams like a schoolgirl)!

[vyses]

Awesome video. :)

[KillerDeShelly]

I like looking at the sun too... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[HuxRift]

There's some good points in this video, i'll definitely think about this the next time i'm about to go off with a negative point-of-view - however, that doesn't mean you should ALWAYS be happy and optimistic about everything, sometimes you need to give people crap because sweet-talking just won't cut it, and at other times you also need to be able to take shit which even if it seems negative to you.

In general i agree, but you take too lightly on a difficult topic. It's not black and white.

[skythra]

@HuxRift He also says in other daily's to indulge in those pity moments, let the feelings wash over you, and enjoy the different and wide range of emotions. He talks about breakups are awesome because it's justification for doing other things, like drinking beer and eating sundae's for breakfast or being flirtatious with a checkout chick with overconfidence that you don't even believe etc. But almost always the underlying theme is being positive about even the different emotions.

[LetMeSayAgain]

Who would dislike someone so amazing talking about something so amazing? Ohh right... of course.... hipsters, liking good people is too mainstream

[daveinnes]

Beautiful.

[francoismckean]

[Mattches77]

I saw "22:42" and decided i wouldn't watch the whole thing.

Amazingly, here i am 22 minutes later, felling very glad i did.

[katten200]

you heave learned me so much

[MrJustinn123]

@katten200 taught me so much* now you've learnt more :)

[jinsoup]

smile, big! =D

AWESOME!!! hahaha

thank you sean.

[kubasniak]

@Sephallia thanks that's right, I'm going to watch replays when I lose.

[GodsPenads]

Really inspiring words! And why would anyone want to say anything bad about you? You are so charismatic and nice!

[JNOrangeJuice]

I accidentally unsubscribed to you like three months ago and never really noticed until i watched the monobattles you did with husky on his channel. This is the first video i've watched since I've been back and it made me feel SO good! I Love You, Bro! Thank you!

[celestialhunter11813]

you should be a preacher

[kubasniak]

You're very nice man, I love to watch your vids but I can't handle my anxiety anymore and I'm so negative when I'm losing a game in SC2. I'm new player and I'm in silver league. I would like to be PRO. PRO even in 1 day but losing pisses me off RLY RLY HARD. Can't handle it ;S

[Sephallia]

@kubasniak Think about it this way. If you start in Bronze (or silver in your case) and work your way up to diamond/ masters, generally speaking, if you develop pro skills by practicing in custom games (while still bronze) then your match record, will be like [big number of wins] and [small number of losses]. So, at silver, just practice in customs, and when you consistently do better against players in a higher league, you're pretty set.

[Sephallia]

@kubasniak Also, to comment about negativity, that's normal. I feel bad when I lose, whether it's SC2 or LoL. What's important is what you do afterwards. In the lesser (negative) case, you cry internally or externally and feel sad, and jump into your next game. In the extreme (negative) case, you quit SC2. In the positive case, you watch the replay from the game, pay attention, analyze what you did wrong and make active efforts to correct yourself the next time.

[kneckebro]

more skyrim please

[MrTweetch]

Day[9] - you are awesome. You should write a book and call it the sun always rises the next day[9] ^_^

[oracle897]

Day[9] for president???

[TaiChiKnees]

From a Starcraft Mom: Day[9], you are a good boy. <3

[abec5s]

Moist crying.

[DeChampForTheWin]

well depressed actually.

[DeChampForTheWin]

PLEASE HELP ME: Basically to sum up my last few months, I moved to Jersey for my senior year of highschool to play highschool football. It was great until we lost in the state championships. At my old Highschool there was this girl that I went out with for three years. We kept in touch. But Last month my grandmother (who im living with) went crazy, and I just found out that girl is now going out with someone else and we lost states. How do I turn that into something happy? cause im just upset

[AXharoth]

@DeChampForTheWin watch movie the secret or abraham hicks videos

[WhoaDom]

Damn, you speak so much sense. Got my vote.

[SoRusted]

what's with that illuminati T shirt

[Axiss360]

What if the negative person is your mother?

[ximander]

nice topic! Very cool video! I like the fact that you have tabasco right next to your computer, in case of a tabasco-related emergency. :)

[0piate0fthemasses]

My interpersonal micro will be well over 9000 after this.

[HoltscN]

If you can't stand this video, put it in your calendar and re-watch it later. Sometimes it's hard to take someone as relentlessly positive as Day9, but he's got a great message here. Keep up the good work.

[gimmehcutiesnao]

Well when he told us to smile , I tried , and then , I suppose my brain is just retarded , and every single problem I'm experiencing started telling me otherwise ... FML.

[intrigued1525]

Thanks, I needed that.

[WutAPoet]

If only I saw this 2 weeks ago, then instead of saying sorry, and sorry over again. I could have said thank you. Maybe we wouldn't have broken up over Christmas and new years.

I wish I had known earlier, but now I can be a better person now. Thanks Day9.

[IneedAbttrscreenname]

Hmmm Positivity. Lets try it.

47 peoples disliked this video and thats okay because they're perfectly entitled to their opinion just like me.

....HEY it worked!

[Jeapertheone83]

Day[9] should write a book.

[brad0544]

miracles = magnets

[brad0544]

moist.

[SharkyIzrod]

@rovtar lol, you should take an year off your job and finish 2nd grade. It will help you a lot!

[wangabo123]

Day9...you make me happy :)

[juangmn]

feel good~

[ShardZERO]

I just watched this a second time and it's still totally freaking awesome. Some of the things he says come off a little wierd to me, but I think about the meaning behind it and it really resonates with me.

[ShardZERO]

@ShardZERO (p2) I already started using a bit of the say-thank-you-when-you-would-s­ay-sorry and I'm liking it a lot, but overall I have a tendency to think kind of negatively, towards myself and others, so I want to work on getting in the habit of thinking about things more positively because it'll definitely help me with life in general. Thanks Day9! :D
