When you realize that there are people best at being jack of all trades, and you can never be better than them.

Hey Phillip, I know this is an old video and you'll probably never read this, but thanks for making it. It was really something I needed to hear. I really appreciate your content man

In the end, people are all very alike, but mostly go by believing that they are special.

I feel like you and I have the exact same mindset, you treat juggling in the same way that I treat Rubiks cubes. Your KZfaq network expresses how you think and self analyze so much better than I think I ever could (Especially in these thoughtful, talkative videos, they're my favorites). I really look up to you, keep up the amazing work.

I am the master of watching 3kliksphilip videos. And votebans

This is one of the most relatable things I've ever heard. People always say that the more you practice at something the better you will get, i find that its the opposite for me. With nearly every new hobby i take up i always find something to be competitive about which ruins the hobby completely. Its like the more I practice at something the more scared i get at failing at it, which makes me do worse, until eventually i get worse which creates an entire vicious circle and something for other people to judge. Like the video, the easiest thing for me to compare this to is CSGO. I used to play that game just for fun until eventually i had an urge to get better. I would regrettably spend 2-3 hours in warmup everyday just to inevitably do bad in the real game which made all of my hard work seem useless and just something to make the loss hurt more. Even if i did good in a game, it would just take one bad game or a bad shot to completely throw me off again and make me feel worthless. This cycle would continue until eventually i quit, moving onto another activity for me to repeat the cycle with, with one repeating question "why can't i be normal and just play for fun and get better naturally?".

I've seen this video about a dozen times. As I binge watch all three of your channels multiple times a year, I'm just now giving it enough thought to realize that I 100% relate to this video. Thanks past Philip.

I went to a careers guide once and was delighted when they said what i was talking about was a 'portfolio career', it was the best thing i ever heard and made me feel its ok to want to diversify my self in life. I often find i can relate to Phillip and his videos, one of the most unique and self referential KZfaqrs i have seen.

Did not like the "I don't know why I juggle anyway..." at the end :(

throwing around facts and insight like it's nothing. I've forgotten just how good your videos old and new are

Thanks. Always when you make such videos I start to think different a little bit. Such a 5 min video changes my point of view in the world. It is like theater. Someone shows you his point of view in a kind of entertainment which feels great. But the difference to your videos is that they are short and informative. Some people say these videos are boring. But I thing they are important. Please make more videos

Meanwhile I'm just here not being good at anything.

You're a good man Philip

I like this video. It put a new view on myself. Im am pretty good at most things I do, I learn and adapt to new skills quickly, above average in most video games for example. But never an expert at anything. Yet my personality strives to be the best at everything I do. Yes everything... So there is that. Nomatter what I do, how good I do things. I am never happy with my results, I always tell myself I can do better. Yet when I look back at it, it was infact pretty good. Im weird.

You're probably one of the most wholesome youtubers, so humble and modest :)

You are one of the most clever person I've ever met, and I like a lot watching your videos because you are so entertaining that I can't stop watching them. I really want to talk like you someday when I grow up this is gonna be one of my life goals to achieve.

3:16 absolute legend

These videos always gets me motivated to start something i've been putting off

I want to be a jack of all trades, because every time I look at someone do something magnificent, I want to say that at least I am around his level. I just hate the fact that I am just a musician and blogger, but not an actual writer or artist. Thanks for the video man!

The fact atomic amnesia is in this is incredible for me. Bomb is ticking down...

I love these kind of Videos, it's like thinking without thinking :D

I'm not sure why this strikes me as my favorite video from you... but it speaks to me... which is weird... +1, sir.

Its scary how much I agree with everything i watch on your channel Keep it up

I love these kind of videos!

phillip's juggling was mesmerizing

Dude, the juggling was mesmerizing!

This is the best juggling video I've ever watched.

well, I learned that you are REALLY good at juggling! I've done many hobbies myself, but lately I found drumming and it's the MOST fun hobby I've ever had, I try to get very far with it. I quit listening to dubstep and using FL studio for this, which I was also pretty damn good at. It feels good to be very good at something, but man does it take time to get there. Oh yeah and my friend played bass for 6 years, he was REALLY good, you could say a master of his craft. Then he suddenly quit, I don't understand why but I guess this video makes it clearer

your juggling is mesmerising

completely off topic but, what's the name of the music playing in the background? i fell in love for it

Well said, and thumbs up for the juggling!

"I'm a very competitive person at heart and it's a curse" damn, didn't expect that sentence to resonate in me so much I'm a man of extremes I either suck horribly at something ( which is why I won't ever invest more XP in that shit ) or if I'm resonably good at it I'll waste waaaay too much time on it, whatever it is If I need to get something done, I either do a tactical 30 min quick "speedrub", getting the job just not-horrible enough that I don't get fucked by whoever assigned it to me Oooor I make it ABSOLUTELY PERFECT but spend 700% of the assigned time on it As you can see, in either case I have something to brag about But also both cases will leave the guy that assigned me that job equally disappointed

I would love to reach that guru level when I'm at least a middle age man, just one of those guys that can and is proficient in everything and can share his knowledge with the next generation. Why have a next generation if they don't learn from the previous, of cause they will always learn more but I'd love for my knowledge to survive long after I have gone. The legend of that dank ass guru bloke

Philip, the content creator, artist, gamer, and philosopher.

To be honest this guy i love speaks way too fast for me to absorb his golden advice

The sooner you accept that you're not special, the sooner that you'll be one step ahead of being one.

kliks i know it's been 4 years but your video got me to play videogames again

Stealth and pocket picking is all you need . I wish i was a dark elf .

Very impressive juggling. I can only do one at a time. :)

Can I just say that you are very inspiring?

kliksphilip The music is your videos is sooooo cool! :D

Omg... He did it... He put my hatred into words...

Hey Philip! Can I get the background song somewhere? I really like it

same, my father allways told me to be good at single thing since he's a very good mechanical engineer. I use d to obey this and do things I had no talent on like playing piano. only in recent couple years I have started to be a jack of all trades. I found out that I was way more talented in drawing and more happy overall. kliksphilip never misses

3kliksphiliip, good at mapping, CS, excellent at writing, extensive knowledge in 2D game making, charismatic and very good articulating himself, absolute expert in finding the loop holes of the worthlessness of the aspects of life yet still manages to make me not shoot myself, many skills of both the practical and psychological kind. And then theres me, almost unable to express opinions based on feelings in an understandable way to other people, can barely write a basic story, terrible at articulation of my thoughts, only good at speaking more than 1 language.

THAT SPIN WAS MAGICAL :D

thank you so much for this video

nice skills you got there

Interesting insight

Actually inspirational

This was really deep

2:26 ninja be like

5:10 that was really nice

that kind of videos are important for humanity... -Captain Obvious9

dude sweet juggling

You've made some good points Philip..

Jokes on you, PHILLIP OF ALL TRAITS

your freaking awesome 😂

This is my favorite channel of the ones you put up, will there be a diary for 2015? :)

0:40 Look at that, Lithuanian and a Pole leading the charts, just like back in the commonwealth days!

holyfcking shit xD lol That was amazing, thank you :')

no-one phillip: we're all drug addicts

Haha i remember our long conversations about that :)

I am really great at being lazy. I am so lazy, that if there was a competition for laziness, I would not even bother to compete.

Wait, what did you say? I was mesmerized by the background video.

Master of None

that jugleing

dude you're such a fucking inspiration I love you

I always feel guilty whenever I put a label on myself like a musician or illustrator or an editor because In my mind I know I only decided to do that thing in one second and at some point I might just drop it if something much more interesting catches my attention

Thanks for the video! ;)

Thank u Philip for guiding me not only in hammer editor but even in life :) 0:33 mariusz pudzianowski XD

As much as I'd like to start following a "jack of all trades" mindset, I don't think I"ll chase after it. As a musician, I desire to be one of the best. Will it ever happen? Most probably not. But that doesn't mean I can't be happy. After practicing a piece for a few weeks (or months, depending on the difficulty) and i'm to a point where I'm comfortable playing it, practice doesn't feel like "practice" anymore... I enjoy playing it, and performing it, whether for a competition or for fun. TL;DR: Attempting to become the best at one thing and focusing on that one thing does, in fact, give me satisfaction despite the fact I will never reach my goal. Maybe that's just me and my passion for music. It'd be nice to hear some other opinions on this.

I want to be a John of all trades -_-

Is the background music from one of your albums? Also I can relate to everything you say! Amazing!

I'm an Ace of all trades.

Rediscovering 1kliksphilip videos is fun

ATOMIC AMNESIA!

he just wanted to show of his juggling skill lol

Yes my friend

Usain Bolt just ran the last time :D!!!!!

FIIIIIRST Luv u Philip

Juggling was hype as fuck

daymn

Pasha fan was probably from his giant meat arms :)

this will probably get buried but i love video editing and have nothing to work on, it would be an honor to work on yours

Looks like i didnt use my skill points.

Is that your Ls400? Do you still have it? :o

I made my stats -1 in everything as a joke. Thought I could change it later.

these ultra HD videos really test my CPU

You just cant imagine how similar we are.......

suomi nähty, torilla tavataan

I think you're the internet persona i can relate to the most. You look at life objectively and ask yourself how to become successful in it. I am myself a very competitive person and in CS my friends always say that im good enough and i dont need to do all the extra training i do to play with them. No shit, i do it for myself because i want to be better, i want to be better than them. I am the same with programming, i have people in my class who are better at me in programming and people have said that im one of the best in the class and im a great programmer. But why does it matter if im not the best?

Stay noble.

Philip likes argonian :3

Max min of course

Hey Philip I just listened to a short video by a guy named Tim Ferriss (check out his other works as well, I feel like you would like him!) talking about the benefits of being a jack of all trades, the tl:dr is use the 80:20 rule. I wanted to come back to this video as it felt off the mark to me when I originally watched it but I couldn't quite articulate why but I think Tim summed it up fairly well. You can check it out here /watch?v=_TYBdqS6RB4 Or search "The Tim Ferriss Show Episode 19" Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I am best at being bad at everything !

What is the name of the music used in this video ? :) it has to be made by philip

I was expecting Biceps to comment. :(
