Like you mentioned you already had two friends that you were close with, so having the brunch was the easy way to meet new people without being alone and starting out fresh. So, most people likely will not move to a community where they have long-term friends who live nearby. That’s actually a good way to meet people, however, the way you mentioned it was saying “we decided to have a weekly Sunday brunch”, meaning it wasn’t just you doing it by yourself. So, maybe it’s fine right out of college to hang with your old friends, but most people will likely move away as they get jobs and get coupled up fast. So, to be fair your advice is good, but it’s not the best long-term advice. My advice would be to look up local book clubs, or organizations they have hobbies that you individually have an interest in. Going alone will be the most healthy way to meet new people without your safety net of having long-time friends go with you. It’s okay to go try new places that you are interested in seeing, like nature walk areas, dog parks, etc. So, what happens is you meet people at different points of your life and you never want to just keep hanging out with the people you grew up with since a young child. Exploring different places and trying new hobbies by yourself is the best advice to meet new friends. If you’re lucky then you will click with certain people at different phases of your life. Don’t hold onto friends who have different interests and allow yourself to do things that make you happy individually. One thing that was a unique experience was going to a “trivia night” every Wednesday at a local sports pub/restaurant. I would invite people and they would invite people and eventually we had the largest table in the room at times. Where we had at least six tables pushed together. Good times!

Limiting distractions Become an active learner: • understanding the concept and writing it in your own words • Presenting to yourself Prioritize health, get enough sleep, staying hydrated, he didnt add this but also staying (physically active) - important for your mental health Ask questions about the topic if you understand Explain it as if you are able to understand to a young child, if not figure out what it is you are lacking

You grew up 😂

You grew up 😂

That was something I need to watch 🤌

When I feel anxious, I think of the tunnel soldiers and the vulnerable people all around the globe,Then I remember that there is a Creator, who loves us, thus the anxiety goes away

I’m Japanese and I learn English from your videos, then I use the phrase “long-distance relationship” to explain the relationship between I and my sister until I realized it now. 😢

Hey John: I'm currently in search of a mentor for coding - I started coding HTML + CSS in 2002 when I was 11, I did some graphic designing also during this time - I was making custom websites for my friends clans and signatures for their accounts on forums. I took a 15 year break form computers to focus on working and my family, I'm 32 now and taking courses in computer information technology which has jump started me back in the computer science world. I'm highly motivated to learn, if you have any advice for me please reach out. Thank you for creating this content and sharing it with the world. You are making a difference. - Blake

Seeing your journey since before your college days. Used to wake up, see your video with a cup of cofffee and then prepare to get in a college. I am now working at EY looking for a masters soon...i know you might never read this, and that this is a old video and I will watch all of then in sequence to the lastest one, but you truly are a remarkable man and maybe you might look at all the people walking and walking and think that each one of them are leading a equally complex life as yous ( You said this remember) but that doesn't mean each one of us dust particle isnt beautiful, from dust to dust bit what a beautiful dance in the middle.

Forgot desperate characters

And of course you are from la

You sound like a pretentious prick.

Why require tracking tho?

This guy is my favorite youtuber

This is my first time I watched one of your videos , KZfaq put it up and I just thought yes let’s just see and so far yes OK 👌

I propose mass quitting for the good of all-

Hey I like this! You should do more shorts of fun code projects like these, things that would be too trivial for a full video but are still interesting and possibly useful

Are you still working on your book?

Just another person letting you know that your efforts have impact -- I bought your bullet journal like 5 years ago, and I'm an engineer now. It's so weird to watch your videos today after achieving that milestone, and to feel that same pull toward becoming better. Weird in a great way! Thanks John! Curious to see what you make.

I searched up my crush’s name and damn…

'Attention is the beginning of devotion'

identify the things that build you up and protect your attention around those things❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

'don't be defensive' is one of the most deepest healing things to consider having present in existence. john worded it in a really good way here and i absorved it. People are trying to help when they criticize in good faith. it hurts like they're neglecting our whole being, but that feeling can be transformed to improve that specific aspect. accept. accept. accept. ❤

Whatever happened to the chap?

Graduated 6 months ago (with honors and high gpa) and still no job, though I’ve been continuously applying. I’m now seriously considering going back to school to study something completely different.

Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How old were you John when applying to Harvard?

Hey, thanks hearing that you first were ready in early august definitely was encouraging! Trying the same here

Thanks for sharing 🩷

My top three books are.... The Bible The House of sand and fog The fifth witness. My second book theyade a movie from it...but of course the book is better. My third book was a book that grabs you....every chapter grabs you.....and the end of both books will leave you saying,""WHAT!!!""".

Thank you for bringing this theme up, it’s really important to remind people about significance of simplest and base things as walking, live conversations etc. The life is too short to spend it on social media

Truely Thank you John, I had followed u for more than 5 years, you are being constantly reflecting on topics and things where most of us caught up being paralysed and numb, everytime after watching ur video I feel reflesh and clear somehow, tho I can see myself someday definitely gonna be snatched again by the f*ng social media algorithum, I still thank you for being there and being our best internet smart friend

I feel like finished watching the awesome movie. congratulations Mr.john😊👏

I watched that video in my hometown, sitting on my computer some morning as I was applying for my college's for my bachelor's. Now, I have a job, and am looking for a switch. Many things have changed, many have remained the same, a lot of growth but some issues yet remain. Such a beauty is time, the change measured in time.

Hey John I really appreciate your help me. I was able to make through my first year of architecture school Growth book was awesome. I wonder if you could create a digital one since I have become digital I use less paper. Thank you.

bro i am going to make videos because i am a medical student . any suggestions ¿¿¿¿¿
