I am sure I am not the only one thinking about this question. I also don't even know if I am supposed to think about this question. But wait, what should I do with my life? You know, we only have less than 100 years to live in general (I hope you can make it through your 100th birthday). Thats about 36500 days to live now that I have almost 20 years old I already lived 7300 days out of the 36500 days. So I have about 29200 days left (a lot less probably as getting to 100 years old is pretty rare).
Ok, I know all of that sounds pretty depressing, but really what am I doing with my life? Am I really using my time appropriately? Should I try to make a change? But what would happen if I try to make a change? Well basically we are now about 7 billion persons on earth. So 7,000,000,000 and I represent 1 out of that big number. So really the chances that I am able to make a change in this world are almost impossible. Now, with that in mind how should I spend my life? Should I work a lot in order to buy a lot of goods? Should I try to live with the bare minimum and try to spend more time with the valuable persons? Should I even go to school? Why do I think about that? Well if we decide to go to school we will be in that institution for about 20 years, well if you decide to go to university. That's 7300 days of my life so 1/5 of it. Ok well is it even worth it to spend that amount of time at school? I have no idea... Then there is even more questions... What makes me happy? What makes me live a fullfilling life? Overall, how should I live my life in order to make the most out of it? There are so many questions about that and maybe I think too much about it. But I don't think that people that just live life as how society decide are doing the right thing. I like balance but where is the balance in here? Oh my god, I don't know what I should do I hope one day, I will find something that will make my life fullfiling. Now I think it would be interesting to know what are your philosophy in this world. What you want to do, or what you do with your life. If you have any thoughts on this subject please talk about it in the comments, it will maybe help myself and other people.

Today I will share some of the things I learned during my years making YouTube videos. I am not one of those successful YouTubers but I can still give some advice that may be useful. The first thing that you should make sure you're doing is actually something that really interest you, something that you don't feel forced to do and that you want to share with the world. If you want to start YouTube just to make money, I guarantee you that it will be extremely hard for you to earn money if you do something that you don't like. You may feel motivated for some weeks or months but at the end what makes great videos is when you do something that you feel passionate about, not forced to do. So remember to create a channel where you will put content that you really like and not content that you think will give you money. After deciding which type of videos you will be making, just start producing content. Your videos may not be super high quality at the beginning but with time you will be able to create better videos. The trick here is to try to create better content each time you do a new video. One misconception that a lot of new YouTubers think is that in order to create great videos you have to get the best equipment possible. Yes, the equipment helps a lot, but if you compare a person that is passionate about what they are talking and that creates great content to a person that just have the best possible equipment but is boring it is clear that the first person wins. So even if you don't have the best equipment, I guarantee you that you are able to create great content. I am saying this because the main reason of great videos is the content and not the quality of the equipment it was made with. Another thing that is very important is to publish videos on a daily base, it really depends on you and how much time you have to produce new content. If you are irregular, people may forget you but if you do daily content, they will be more engaged with your channel. But remember that if you just make a ton of videos and they don't bring quality content, it is pretty much the same thing as if you never publish any videos.

All these statistics show why we have to turn to sustainable energy. Tesla is working in making that process happen faster. And I think Musk is a genius as he is really trying to make big changes that will affect our future positively.
I am always questioning myself about something. Sometimes I get very frustrated with how we made our society. It looks like we have to become something or someone important to be successful in life. We come to life and by the age of 5 we have to start studying, then we get in high school and when we graduate from high school we either have the choice of start working or continue our studies. If we stop studying most of the time we will get a job with a low salary, which will probably only give us enough money in order to get the basic things in life. If we continue studying then we spend even more time at school to become something we want. I know that what I just said might seem a lot and some people might think I am saying “don’t study it is just a waste of time.” But I am not saying that I think that knowledge is important but in life there should be a balance in everything.
If I continue explaining, after we graduate from College/University we get a job that we either might like or not. So now the second cycle starts, the cycle of working, and that is when we are adults. We spend all our time working in order to get money, to buy what we want and in a year we get X amount of time of vacations which is normally not a lot. We spend so many hours of our life working in order to get money to be able to travel, buy something we like… After that we get in the last cycle which is when we are majors, we now basically are able to stop working and have free time, but in that period we are old, we do not have the same health as when we are young and that is when we can start to travel. I think we should not live our life like that, studying to become something, working to get money and finally getting a lot of time when we are old and do not have the same health as before in order to do whatever we want. It should not be like that. Even for me it seem quite impossible to change this cycle, but I am just thinking and expressing how I feel sometimes. Why do we have to spend all the time we are healthy working sometimes at bad jobs in order to get something? Why do we get the retirement when we are old and not the same health as when we were young? Why we cannot travel more when we are young? I know these questions might seem stupid, but if we really think about, that they might seem stupid because we are educated with a mindset that teaches us that if we do not become something we are not anything in society and we will not be able to get anything. The answer to every why to that question is money. We study to get a job where we will be able to get money. We worked all our life in order to be able to enter into the retirement and we are not able to travel when we are young as we do not have enough money. With today's society a lot of people will not have the same mindset as me, but as you probably know, money runs the world. It is sad that a paper is able to control us, make us do whatever to be able to get a happy life. We only have one life and that is why I get sad about that, we should spend our life doing what we want, not doing what society wants us to do. But you know, it is probably impossible to make any change. We are just left there in this world working hard to get what we want, I know it should not be easy, but it should neither be impossible to be what you want in life in order to spend life happy. We are highly influenced by our society and that might affect what we are becoming even if inside we would like to become something different. Even if I might seem to be complaining, I know I am very privileged in this world and that there are people which are not as privileged as me and I am very grateful about that. I wonder how people with a lot less privilege in this world feel, what they think about our society and finally, how happy they are with their life compared to someone which is so privileged as me. As you read this article, I recommend you to write in the comments either if you think I am wrong or not and also to explain your point of view. It is very interesting to read about the point of view of different people and what they do in life. People from different regions in this world surely have a different vision about this subject.
Neil Harbison was born with Achromatopsia which is total color blindness. He sees the world in a grayscale. He started to work with computer scientists to develop a gadget. The gadget they developed is connected to his body, it sends different audio frequencies for each color. That way Harbison is able to differentiate colors. This gadget is even able to detect colors that are not perceptible by the human eye. You can find the link to his Ted Talk just below, I recommend you to watch it, he is a funny guy!
