  1. I don't know why I watch this channel...all these things he talks about are aimed at teenagers and people in their 20's. Which, if what he says resonates with you at that age is depressing enough. But I'm nearly 40 and all of this applies to me, which is so much more depressing it's hard to put into words. Not having your life together at 22 might FEEL depressing, but trust me, it absolutely pales in comparison to not having your life together at nearly twice that age. When he talks about what you're wiling to do, and how he's willing to sit through a 20 minute tutorial to do a single text effect...yeah, you can absolutely have that mentality. You can be focused and dedicated like that, doing things that most people aren't willing to do. But it does NOT mean you'll get the result or success you want. You can pour hundreds or thousands of hours into something and in the end, it does absolutely nothing for you. Meanwhile someone else who cut corners and took shortcuts sails past you. The best skills in life that you can learn are how to deal with loss, because there's going to be a lot of it, and how to deal with trying harder, working longer, and having more natural talent for something, yet getting nowhere and watching people with none of those qualities do far better than you. I like Cole, I just wish he had dealt with a bit more failure and bad luck before finding success. Granted he's much better than the YouTubers who find success at 16 and think showing up is 90% of success, but I think if he had endured an additional 10 or so years of constant failure, he'd be even better adjusted.
