The way I see it, and I think this way about EVERYTHING. What % of the world are billionaires and millionaires? About 1%. How many people who want to and try to make it to the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc.? 1% if not less. Same thing goes with YouTube. The chances of you becoming famous or a millionaire on YouTube are the same. About 1%.

But it also depends on what your idea of "making it" is. Just like you said in your video. As long as you're happy and growing, no matter how fast or slow, you're on your way to making it. You never know how things will turn out. Everyone starts with nothing. Of course I dream of becoming a popular youtuber and making good money to support myself and my family. Of course I dream of being a millionaire. Of course I dream about surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers. But I told myself that if I even make a DOLLAR on youtube, that is success. I stay at home and play video games, edit videos, laugh my ass off, and meet new people. Getting compensated in ANY way for those things is amazing.

I really enjoyed this video. It really got my brain working lol. Spec Ops is an awesome game by the way

Yeah I've beaten the game multiple times on PS3 a few years ago. Started PC gaming this past summer and it was the first game I got lol. But your video really inspired me to make one of my own on this topic. Hope you don't mind haha.

Good talk @LeGenDaryPuLse!

I guess the moral is to appreciate what you have in the present whether it be ten subscribers, sixty, or four thousand. YouTube's meant to be a platform for sharing first and foremost and if that's what you're doing then you're doing it right! :)

I like the whole concept of "One Take", it's nice getting to hear a person to person kind of commentary video.

Keep up the good work!

you won't make it unless you try, i mean not all footballers will play for united or Chelsea will they but even if they only play for say Boston united (my team) and still trying their best, that's what matters the most to me

the worst thing to do is never try and then wonder what might have been right?

Exactly, u'll always have dat regret of not knowing what could have happened if u only tried a bit hard, a bit longer

I believe in a couple sayings about people and reaching success. Dream it, work towards it, believe it and visualize it, and you can achieve it. Unless you're ready to put in the work needed, you're not going to get there. Keep putting in the time and hard work. Even if you fall down, get back up and keep pushing toward your big goal. To quote Soichiro Honda - "Success is 99 percent failure."
