Wo cares about grades? There're only 2 options > passed or not.

[AmanJohnK]

@Kubakpsv Well, I mean, there is also A, B, C, D, and F which can say a great deal about that person. I understand that many people just want to get somewhere the most efficient way possible "C's get degrees" - but I can tell you this.."nerd now, boss later" and when me and all my friends are running stuff, we'll be looking out for people who got A's (Of course, grades are not always relevant, but the mindset that leads people to get certain grades undoubtedly transfers to other areas of life)

[Kubakpsv]

@AmanJohnK But mindset that leads people to get certain grades is not always connected with ability to use their knowledge, we all know how tests compare to reality right? Truth is that "nerd now, homeless later" and "C grader now, boss later" can occur too. Grades are only grades. The only advantage of them - one more thing to make queue for work a bit shorter. Same with driver licence, gender, age, skin colour and all that jazz. But it's only for people not too ambitious to start own stuff.

[AmanJohnK]

@Kubakpsv Trust me, I understand, I had actually just written a status earlier today saying that over half the people in college are just wasting their time, and that it'snot for everyone...I admire those who don't need college...in my family, I have people with Ph.D's but the richest person (by far) dropped out of middle school! Still though, I'm not saying good grades are a means to success, it's the character and mindset behind those good grades (though sometimes faked) that matters!

[ktodarling]

But honestly you sound a bit preachy in this video, like you think you have it all figured out. You need to get over yourself a little ;) haha

[AmanJohnK]

@ktodarling ....did I make a video about life and claim to have that all figured out? No, I made a video detailing that I used to be nothing academically, but then went on to reach literally every single one of my academic goals....clearly...I "have it all figured out" in this area, and I'm excited to share with people what that is, hence why I made a youtube video!.... LOL the lack of logic in some comments is truly a treat =)

[preachermuaddib]

That was a unnecessarily long and self-indulgent way to simply say 'stop goofing off if you want to be the best you can be'

Nothing more than pseudo intellectual mastrabation.

What's depressing is the comment where he has literally achieved every one of his academic goals suggesting hit got to a point and instead of further educating himself he decided to post this budget dr phil nonsense on youtube with the belief getting straight a's in school is a major achievement

[cobainbride]

inspired!



[impowermenow]

That's what it's confidence. But I like it, its all about attitude.

[WeirdGirlParadigm]

haha, we were so much a like when we were younger...now it's kind of the other way around. When I was younger, I made As As As and now that I'm a junior in college I'm just like blah. I'm a psych major too! I adore you! I'm glad I found your channel, you're like, the boy version of me! Except better! lol

[MzBunny2790]

You are a true inspiration. I'm approaching the the end of the semester in school with two exams left to go. For some reason I've been feeling so overwhelmed. Your videos help me realize that something just aren't as hard as they seem.

[moemoneysouth]

@AmanJohnK your right here's a quote -----

"Nah I Ain't Complain'n Just Tellin' Ya'll What It Is

So If Ya'll Goin Thru It Now Just Know That Anotha Kid

Made Somethin' Outta Nothin' Well I'm Frontin' I Was Never Nothin'

Older Ladies Used To Tell My Mother Ain't He Somethin' " ------ joell ortiz

[antoniobandaro]

Good video Aman, just like usual! Now just for me to put your words into action... Ouch haha!

[jacobpov]

You have truly spoken to me !

[FridayAllWeek]

You deserve more viewers :)

[SamanthaLau1994]

I was going through an emotional breakdown before I watched the entire video. This helped me a bit. Thanks. :)
