[OrlaCunns]

Man, I wanna do everything in this song..where to start?!

[screwupisland88]

254 people must have an awful life.

[highentropy2468]

If you succeed in doing all of these things, please let me know

[K1NGCA1N]

God this is a great song, made me all emotional!

[milescend]

I worry way too much :/ I'm just gonna chill like I used to, and take life as it comes :) I don't know what I want to do with my life, but I know I want to meet great people like I used to :) :)

[milescend]

I miss being so happy when I was younger :(

[milescend]

LOVE THIS !!!! :)

[illadelphengland90]

fuck its amazing hearing this again thinking back all those years..looks like 253 people dont have emotions haha

[Zaginaify]

This man just made my 16 year old socially awkward shit life ten times better. I give thanks to Reddit and, of course, to this guy.

[kyliecarefree]

@Zaginaify I know right? I concur. 

[betadoctor]

253 people who lost it all ...

[amyceleste26]

I love this!!

[thedwadester3]

This is my life

[koghen]

@misshellification Another idiot who thinks that the body and mind are two separate things.

[lawilson0814]

@koghen you missed the whole point!  listen again to what he says about advice!

[cmf118]

@lawilson0814 spot on m8

[misshellification]

one thing i think he got wrong - Your body is not the greatest instrument you will ever own. Your mind is?

[itchybumchin]

@misshellification always some stupid fuck trying to find fault

[maddiec232323]

Waaaaaait.... Kurt Vonnegut?

[dmitriid]

@maddiec232323 No, it's not. It's Mary Schmich. Can't post links, but you can find her on Google/Wikipedia

[Kunjurur1]

3 mins 15 secs brings a lump to my throat

[TheManWhoJokes]

@Kunjurur1 Same. Man what's up with me.

[Kunjurur1]

@TheManWhoJokes nothing lol,your just normal

[yummybeefyboy]

to beautiful

[Lebkuchen414]

people who said to me this is bullshit and I had to listen hip-hop.... No hope... THIS is reality

[MrPokerdude101]

This is what everyone should live by in life.

[rsls101]

Here's to me and my fellow Class of 99!! enjoy your 30's now

[MissPromoBeau]

I've been living my life by the advice given here since it was released in the 90's and ive been doing pretty well up to yet :-D Heres hoping i grow up to be an interesting 40 year old! <3

[TheSpookydonna]

@MissPromoBeau I pretty much live my life like this. I am 44 and I have joy in my life. I love myself and my body. I breath deeply, I laugh loudly. Most of all I know that I am free to feel good and God help those that get in my way :)

[ComeBackSmiling]

Can you call this a song?

[dunbunter]

@ComeBackSmiling I call it an advisory.

[jypweb]

@ComeBackSmiling There's some singing that was cut out for some strange reason. The whole thing is really good.  :D

[garibaii92]

for some reason i think one person could live their whole life by this message and be happy successful. and it does makes me cry and reflect on my actions when i hear it 

[april97always]

how weird i had this song going round my head the other day! the words are brilliant and yes it makes me cry too. i remember stopping the car to listen to the words. didnt realise the words were from a famous essay.thank you

[NinjaSovereign]

For some reason, this song always makes me cry.

[sithwargod]

@NinjaSovereign Is it the "Maybe you'll marry" Part. It doesnt make me cry, but it makes me wish i could cry. LOL

[LaFilleQuotidienne]

Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. TRUE DAT!

[100PercentOJ]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[AlienBusDriver]

did I just stumble upon the lost souls video!

[nunnyd69]

I'm 43 and counting and i still have no plans to settle into a career for life. Does anyone else have days when you you feel like flipping a coin and just jumping on your bike and leaving everyone and everything behind and just starting over again on the opposite side of the world or is it just me?

[guru426]

@nunnyd69 No there are others... :) Nice thing being at forties is that it is rather easy to question - and ingnore - all the crap that is thrown at your face daily. And do exactly as you are saying :)

[fubu6400]

@nunnyd69 at least once a week i get that thought

[TheSpookydonna]

@nunnyd69 I did it from Scotland to Australia. Go wih you gut, you will never regret it in the long run.

[nickcanon]

No sex in the Champagne Room. I knew this intro sounded familiar

[llenbridges11a]

Your vid is popular on Suva

[Assassino717]

This is perhaps one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[jeigo]

i love this message, but i disagree with the sunscreen

[magnetica2288]

@jeigo well i suppose you HAVE to find differences..... NO find commonalities

[Ljiable]

I love this.

[Billute]

Did someone actually just claim they were a BETTER human being because they are gay and don't want to reproduce? Seriously mate the irony is actually dripping from these very words.

[hachiu2]

what is this about actually?

[shanesteroftilbury]

Don't let people control who you are, the only person who should control that is yourself. (randomly sharing wisdom is fun :3)

[TheReaperAngel1976]

I will Definitely let my kids watch this when they get old enough to understand it.....Good advice all around.

[nuclearfilly]

Modern day desidarata, listen and learn,,, these instructions are not so bad, take it from someone who knows!

[VVVvicks331]

Best Song Ever, whenever i hear it i cry. 245 people are doomed because their not going to use all the best advice i've ever heard!!

[MCEProd22]

hope he recovers

great director and yet this is his magnum opus

[MOLEYISAJEDI]

Im 41 and still dont know, thats why I've goe back to uni. Hopefully im finding it, if not oh well. I've got a lovely wife and i surf so life pretty good

[Sunscreengirl1]

Don't waste your time on jealousy, sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long, in the end its only with yourself :) So very true LOVE THIS SONG<3

[TheCupcakecutie1234]

i'm only 15 and this is the best advice i've ever heard. i listen to it everyday and it's always lifts my sprits and makes me appreciate life. They really need to show this in schools.

[mhmcupcakes]

im 17 i fucking hate me right now. i've seen this video millions of times but somehow i dont live up to it. my grades are shit, i used to be super ambitious, but somehow i realized along the way how humans can be so fucked up especially adults.

[coldethyl86]

@mhmcupcakes I'm so sorry to hear you say that. I don't know you, but I don't like to think that you're sad. If you need to talk, feel free to private message my youtube account. I hope you're ok.

[marcowen22]

good advice but still do not know to this day how this was classed as song and made it to number one 

[briandalek]

lots of great advice in this song that holds true no matter how old you are

[Cowboy77]

@Verile Nobody said anything about being a dick. It's performance starting when you first see them. If they have a tray of cookies and offer you one you go based on their performance thus far in which case you'd probably say thanks and take the cookie. If they come racing through the house with a gun as your first impression then you should go by their performance thus far and most likely run away.

[naturalmeatswinnipeg]

The lyrics really are the best advise I've ever heard

[1favcolor]

I LOVE this song....always have and always will. All we can do is truly 'hear' the words and take them to heart. That will make up for everything missing from the 'advice' our forfathers gave to us.

[JanellelovesColin]

@toshirodragon Thats exactly what I took from this too.

[turnsout689]

Worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

[zaks88]

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them once you take an arrow.

[fatbob106]

@zaks88 doesn't matter, i just lvl and kill all the guards neway

[Scarmion6]

This is amazing

[kolla123]

I graduated in 99 and make it apoint to listen to this song atleast once a year. It REALLY puts things into perspective.

[CARYBORDERSHART]

wow. 244 people don't like this?

[quinny1965]

I'm 46 and I still don't know what I want to do if I grow up!

[BluntVeritas]

This should be required reading/listening in school - in my late 40's I can say absolutely that there is more *really* useful advice in this song than all my teachers put together told me.

[HayseedOfTurnip]

Enjoy your body.

Use it every way you can.

Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.

It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

[thatcoolG]

I first heard this song when I was 13 I'm now 17 and it still makes me feel like i wanna cry this has to honestly be one of the reasons I'm still alive today. Amazing message -3

[uncannysama]

im 26 and i dont know what i want to do when i grow up

[JohnNEXT]

I still have this song on tape and my kids found it... Funny how some songs in life really kinda meant something and you laughed about it but strangley now it makes some sense.

[marijaheart]

This video is one of the best,,

[ShepherdVevo]

@marijaheart correction, THE BEST

[smokeeeeeeeee]

I'm 12, and what is is this?

[letsdrinkteaa]

@smokeeeeeeeee This is one of the best pieces of advice in the form of a song, when you are stuck, listen to this song, when you are sad listen to this song, when you are happy listen to this song, listen to this song as much as you need to, it is one of the greatest songs with the greatest and most meaningful lyrics ever :)

[actuallyactually]

Love thissssss x

[SirTokinbud]

im 34 and i have NO idea what i wanna do when i grow up ;0)

[xxBloodyDreamerxx]

I'm 15 years old, and this song is inspiring and makes me think deeply.

[guru426]

im 39 (40 next week) and i still dont know what to do with my life :)

[briandalek]

@guru426 i am fourty in a couple of years and neither do i 

[Vexhitash]

@guru426 Happy birthday.

[N1njaZ3n]

@guru426 Happy belated birthday.

[zestydude87]

@guru426 Right there with you pal!

[ThombaArtz]

@guru426

doesnt say you interesting homie :)

don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either

life is great!

[MrSnow0980]

why is the duck song a related video?

[asithapprentice]

this song shaped who i am at 39

[santosdumont2010]

I'm from Brazil amd I'm a student of english

and im my student's book have this song anyone can talk to me

What's the meaning of funckin chicken???

[cheekyred11]

@santosdumont2010 it's just a goofy dance Americans do (or used to do) at weddings and parties

[GurlCaa]

Lol, remember this song when I was 10 years old.

[MrRivaz]

This is my funeral song :)

[darkchaos989]

I'm a university student and don't know what I want to do with my life or if university will ever pay off for me. I hate seeing high school friends living on their own working full time and I'm poor living at home, with no chance of leaving for at least a few years. This video helps curb all the anxiety and stress.

[IceTeaEdwin]

@darkchaos989 Same here.

[sixstoriesfall]

@darkchaos989 You will do fine buddy.  Your friends will make less money than you with out a degree, and you can even go on to grad school and do even better. hang in there and get a good GPA so you won't have to struggle later in life.

[antonygijo]

awesome song

[finditherefirst]

This song is intended to make us forget our creator in place of teir Saturn God of TIME...call me crazy! Do it!

[MissSJAnimations]

Is this the dude who created the movie: Moulin Rouge?

[zollek6]

@MissSJAnimations yes it is and also 'Australia'

[MissSJAnimations]

@zollek6 Hahaha! Thats awesome! I kinda wondered what he'd sound like.

[Paninaro2010]

So true  Sarttimi

[Sarttimi]

seriously, whenever im stressed about school and the future, this is the one video and one THING that can make me calm and realize everything is going to be okay.

[jillianelsegood]

@Sarttimi

i get ready to this, everyday.

[Sarttimi]

@jillianelsegood yea definitely. it's so inspiring. and just makes me take a step back and realize im not the only 21 yr old freaking out about my future and that it's okay to not know what i want yet.

[freakofevolution]

Great song!

[jchenare]

243 people got sun burnt before they watched this.

[dukinitout]

Oh goodness. Ignore almost anything you read on naturalnews. That site is darn near 100% pseudoscience.

[idgafjavi06]

Ladies and gentle of the class of 2012, wear condoms. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, condoms would be it. The long term benefits have been proven my scientist, whereas the rest of my advise has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

[hawbo156]

@idgafjavi06 watch?v=g2UZRYy6-j0 seriously man watch that please haha what a coincidence.

[shairaptor]

@idgafjavi06 prevent overpopulation. I'M gay, I'm the better human. ;)

[shairaptor]

@shairaptor just because I don't want to reproduce I mean

[PenTaFH]

@shairaptor Well, maybe you want to, but (save for some very neat Science) you couldn't if you tried.

[shairaptor]

@PenTaFH what u mean

[hynzify]

@shairaptor The better human? There would be no reproduction if humans were gay, if animals were, there would be no animals, hell, if plants were, there would be no plants, the uselessness of being gay.

[shairaptor]

@hynzify Gays CAN reproduce (or are they impotent? NO! think before you write anything to me. and animals are gay. go read a book. a modern biology book maybe for a start. and before you do, put that bible down, NOW! ;)

[Gravedigger21921]

@shairaptor Then go have a baby, but be purely gay.. I wish you luck, since it's impossible.

[shairaptor]

@Gravedigger21921 1. ever heard of a suggorate mother? 2. many hetero couples don't want to have a baby, strange eh?! 3. I don't want babies too 4. overpopulation anyone? I ignore you from now on, i don't talk to idiots.

[hynzify]

@shairaptor Yeah I'd love to see gays reproduce without the help of someone straight or a donor, go to an island with your gay lover, only you 2, and come back with a baby, in fact lets put a set of gay animals on different islands and see them make offspring, lets see 2 male plants do it too, Don;t even believe the bible, but it was wrote when modern technology wasn;t around, how would a gay get pregnant hmm? back then? or even 100 years ago?

[TheSpookydonna]

@hynzify Not really in keeping with the theme of the song. Live and let live.

[hynzify]

@shairaptor the opposite sex would have to have sex with them, that's not too gay now is it? How about you think before writing anything.

Not to mention you were the one saying you're a better human because you're gay, the fact is if you were completely gay, up until sperm banks, You would not reproduce without a female having sex with a male, last i checked that wasn't gay, you are right, the uselessness of being stupid. ie. you

[shairaptor]

@hynzify whatever dude

[toshirodragon]

I wish someone had told me I wasn't as fat as my mother insisted I was when I was 21... Now I know better.

[TheHambone94]

I just love this.

[SeanWLyon]

[PosersUniversal]

Fuck.

[welllahteedah]

I watch this video every year on my birthday to see what I've learned and to remind me what I need to know.

[originalcynn]

@welllahteedah add me to your facebook!!!!! message me first thru here!!

[MrSweatyPants]

I heard this when I was 17. I didnt know any of this.I was a scared council estate teenager, I shaved my head with a razor, quit UK shool, there was no way out. I thought this advice was top notch. I had a ridiculous infatuation with a girl which I thought was 'the one', I still think she was. She had the most amazing green eyes. I will never forget. However , I am 27 now. did an access course, University and work in Hong Kong as a Radiographer. This advice all seems like common sense now. funny

[Mrsmith42e]

This is totally excellent.

[92Deltat]

242 people publish beauty magazines.

[EiramJosh]

Still today i love it :)

[kokeltie]

this is my life motto :)

[wakefieldkev]

This song is Epic!!! if only I could take all the advice on board lol... great song

[shishy12]

this is amazing

[1favcolor]

I love this song. If you really listen to it, it has the most basic advice that our parents gave to us. I have told my children that I want this played at my funeral.

[ilovemycatsnuggles]

@1favcolor me too this is my funeral song but with nothing but respect to you my parents never gave me this advice but hey ted bundy was more mentally sane than my parents

[sono23]

I laughed at the part where he said "be kind to your siblings" when I was young and my mom told me the importance of family. Its so true. :)

[Videoworkproduction]

so true what a song

[techychic0599]

Definately reassured me, I think just think I have a new idol, whenever I am I doubt I listen to this! I have virtually downloaded this onto almost every portable device I have! Now I know there is no need to worry! xox

[alexxhje]

This is probably the best essay I have ever heard/read. I really was touched by it.

[Keygan117]

whys it say usgay at the one part

[toomanyhorsestofeed]

Adds a bit of perspective to life. We all work to some mythical standard and all feel bad if we don't live up. Thats why I love this song :-)

[Aulus996]

This is my life philosophy.

[alexv1]

Im 22 now, and I dont know what i want to do with my life. This song makes me more comfortable with that.

[youlosesucka420]

@alexv1 I literally just had the exact same idea.

[kuklicz1]

@alexv1 im 32 and i still don't know :)

[BluntVeritas]

@alexv1 Hell, I'm 46 and still wondering! Have fun on the way! :-)

[RudeBox14]

@alexv1 i can sympathise mate.

[SuzyScans]

@alexv1 you saying that made me feel more comfortable with that too, and I am 27. thank you.

[AnonymCovers]

HAHHAHA das haben wir im englischunterricht angehört :D :D

Your words will ring true for forever, Baz. R.I.P. Keyonn Parkin, cut down at the young age of 19.

[IAMFROMSRPSKA]

This video always cheer me up when i am not in the mood,it simplifys the view on life, and make it easier to understand.

[jellesound]

:) superb

[samanthaburns22]

I live my life by the words of this song! Brilliant! Who needs a Therapist

[apariciocab]

Fuck Morgan,

This guy's dope!

[bbboys1986]

thumbs up for wise advises

[Aquafishies]

Aww the 90's I miss those days, I was a little kid, but everything seemed happier then we should go back there!

[whatscooking666]

Its crazy how much i use this songs messages to help me through some hard times. It always seems to put things into perspective.

[hayegh]

i sent Victor Kim here!!!
