"I don't wanna be the richest man on the cemetary"
Legendary
aka Steve Jobs
*Cemetery*
I think Andrew Carnegie said something really similar
10,000 subscribers with no videos? wasent a joke its a quote
Hey! I was about to write the same!
"You don't have to be a lawyer, a doctor or a successful businessman; there's success outside of those medium". More parents and people need to realise that.
I can understand. But, I feel it's not just limited to Singapore. Thing's the same in India (where I am from) and many other countries as well, I reckon.
Cannot agree more...from an Indian
Akshay Dhargave ek number bolla bhava
If you like what you do and can accomplish your goals I'd consider you pretty successful already
Lmao imagine if Joseph just became a stereotypical lawyer or a doctor compared to one of the best swimmers in the sport. What a waste of potential.
"Not every parent can afford this kind of thing. I sacrificed my business. But that's my choice, It was nobody else's choice. I don't want to be the richest man in the cemetery. We only have one son" That broke me. I lost my dad after he fell ill suddenly, almost 8 years ago, and listening to his dad, seeing him record his son's journey, seeing him wearing the longhorn shirt; man it got to me. The unconditional love and support to its fullest extent from his parents, but specially his dad, reminded me of mine. Schooling, you are set for life with those two by your side with whatever you decide to do next, whether it involves swimming or not. You're one lucky young man. Dad, I miss you dearly every single day and will for the rest of my life.
maria franco Maria and Joseph, how fortunate you both were, and are, to have such memories...
I lost my grandmother 5 yr back.....when I used to come home from my school or from my college.....she used to make my favourite dishes...I alwaz used to ask....u r so old why u take all tht pain .....our maid can do it....she smiles touches my face and replies ..u talk too much ...just eat and let me too. I lost her bcoz of heart condition.....being a doctor myself I can't save her......she used to say ....once u become a doctor better treat me well......coz I don't want to die before Ur marriage. She died in my arms.........she said I can't take it any more..the pain is too much.....i said don't worry everything will be ok...I'm with u. Just a few gasps nd she passed. I want to tell u mama....I regret tht I couldn't save u....i will alwaz miss Ur waiting eyes from the balcony....nd the loneliness u left... but in my heart will alwaz remain Ur unconditional love nd memory.
+maria franco Iâm sorry for your loss, what a great story you shared! Your father will always remember you, even though he canât be around right now. Best wishes to you
maria franco God bless you , I am sorry for your loss
maria franco My condolences to you, Maria â€ïž
Schooling has Olympic parents. Talent & dedication are essential, but this kind of parental support is priceless.
100% true and agreed đ
100% agree.
frrrr his parents are amazing
especially that of Asian parents
Genetics too
As a Singaporean, I can remember very clearly the morning Joseph Schooling took the podium at the Olympics finals. My whole family was up, all my neighbours were up, and when he came in first, I could hear everyone around me cheering. It was such a surreal moment for the country and I have never felt more proud to be Singaporean than when I heard our national anthem being played for the first time in history. May more children be inspired by Joseph Schooling and may this be the start of something special in this tiny nation!

Yes almost the whole of Singapore was watching him represent us
same for us Indonesian when Susi Susanti won gold medal in 1992 Barcelona
Descriptive reflective text ah
You could say phelps got schooled
JoeTheCuber Cubing no...Phelps is on another level...noone will be like him...never...so many times we said that Phelps couldnt do it and he was there proving us wrong
JoeTheCuber Cubing when you clearly made a joke and everyone keeps on responding seriously.
Haha nice đ
Lol man lol!
Gotcha
Winning an Olympic gold medal is great. Repeating the same feat again 4 years later will be brilliant. However, the odds are stacked highly against him. To me, itâs not the gold medal that made him truly famous. He will be renowned for the only person who defeated Michael Phelps in his last Olympics
Just imagine what that meant to history, huge
Phelps has been rocked a lot of times...
I for one disagree. I think you're forgetting that not only did he break the Olympic records, he's 22, he's still got some time to improve. I believe he could continue to have success for more years and maybe bag another Gold.
WheeeTimmy yeah he does have a chance but if youâve ever swam you know how insurmountable those odds are. Swimming is way to hard to catch back up so to speak. Dressel will outshine him and some young foreigners like Milak will edge him out slowly
Ethan Rushing thatâs what I meant when I said the odds are stacked against him. Precisely so you will understand this a lot better if you are a competitive swimmer.
The real "never stop until your idol become your rival"
The part about our national anthem being played at the Olympics for the first time. I got goosebumps watching that live on tv, it felt surreal. It's probably the last thing we'd expect to happen before Joseph made history. Thank you Joe! Good luck for Tokyo 2020!
Chinese chistian song
We got it too. Just abit smaller sport but we have two medals. Shooting.
hoang the thang archery?
Why do people feel so attached for national anthems and olympics; I mean they dont represent anything. The only thing the Olympics do is bankrupt countries and divert focus from the important things a country should feel proud...
hearts-shinhwa Ahhhhhh, same
Watching this July of 2021. It still made me emotional, and I am not even Singaporean. So happy for Singapore and my Singaporean friends who were so proud about this. Congratulations Joseph Schooling and congratulations Singapore!
đžđŹđžđŹđžđŹ
@@Olympics u still replying to messages?
Me too
Omg
Im latish early.
excited to see how Schooling performs this year
Michael Phelps is such a legend I love him and I love Josephâs dedication

I think you're missing the point...

"Mom, I'm going on the podium, you're not coming?"
Brilliant.
I love how his mum was almost scoffing at his confidence
Came here to rewatch after his loss in Tokyo 2020 :( He will forever be our Champion in Singapore
You are forever a champion.
I met this man at the airport after the NCAA champs last week. Took a pic with me even though he was with a friend. Truly an inspiration for me. In a few years, CNN and NBC are going to have the picture of us alongside me on the podium. I will not fail you schooling!
Henry Zhang I believe in you! Train hard.
where r u from?
are you 9 by any chance?
@@lyhthegreat China, Obviously
All the best, mate đđœâ€ïž
i don't know why, but i cried watching this... this is so inspiring
same, i wasn't even singaporean and i cried
same
I am a Singaporean... I still cried after watching this even after 4 years.
Me: I'm gonna win the Olymics one day
*eats potatoe chips*
Eating a potato chip is the best
Old joke
Win the Olympics? Wuh đ
@@takewealth why nt lmao
Haha, you are SO quirky!!!!11!!
This guy took "Work hard till your idols become your rivals" to a whole new dimension! :D ;)
What great parents who let their son set his own goals.
They stood behind him and his dreams happened.
They must be beyond proud.
Whoah the entire country stp every activity just to support this young man and he won! Entire country's energy was behind pushing him to victory. I'm crying! All the best young man
Theyâre totally right about Singapore stopping to watch. I was in a tuition class and the entire centre paused lessons to stream the Olympic video
The moment when Schooling touched the wall... the atmosphere in Singapore was terrific. You can hear cheering and screaming all over the island and it's simply awesome!!!
All respect to Schooling for beating that field so soundly, but Phelps, Cseh and Le Clos all TYING still strikes me as the single most unlikely coincidence I've ever seen at the Olympics.
The touch pads were funny that year. I remember it clearly, noticing at the time that things looked a bit odd. There were several occasions where swimmers tied for a placing. That simply doesn't happen if things are in order with the electronics.
a proud singaporean here!
i still remember that time when literally EVERYONE in the country stopped to watch him on the tv. i was in a competition during that time though, and after that my teammates were all crowding around my teacher and she was showing us that he had won gold. ah the memories! :)
Selfehh This American was/is so joyful for Singapore! And that triple silver was a hoot!
This was huge I remember it very clear because our prime minister and our Vice President both sent officials congratulations letter to Singapore đžđŹ and it was all over the local news
Yes!! I hope we will continue to strive for the best and win even if when we are so tiny.
I lived in Singapore for 5 years but I wasn't born when he was competing
i vividly remember how i was stuck in class when i received a notification on my phone that Schooling was about to race in the finals; i excused myself to go to the toilet to watch him win it and i probably came back to class looking like i came back from disneyland
Crazy how Joseph met Phelps and ended up beating him years later
Long term mind games lol
Coming from a small country not known for sport events, but beating the greatest of the greatest... Wow! That's such an achievement. Hats off to Joseph for being an inspiration for his home country! Congratulations! đđđ
Michael Phelps broke the primary rule: Never allow schooling to interfere with swimming.
I remember seeing a news notification pre-race from the local news company on my phone, encourage people to support him. Funny enough, 3 minutes later, I saw another notification, stating that he won, totally not expecting that. Maybe it was perhaps he won my home countryâs first gold medal, but this moment really helped me escape the depression I was suffering at the time. Even though I am not Singaporean myself and practice a whole different sport, Schooling still is a pretty big inspiration for me and for that moment in the Rio Olympics, Iâd just like to say thanks Schooling for being such a inspirational guy, for just one small moment that changed a country! â€ïž
High King Mala II Anything that will help someone out of depression (Winston Churchill fittingly called it âthe black dogâ), Iâm ALL FOR!!! And in this case, something so wonderful!
đđđ
all the goosebumps felt when the national anthem was played for the first time...couldn't control it. it's when your heart is so full of pride for Schooling, for his achievements, his dedication, for this tiny island nation, where finally, finally, changes are made to the sporting scene, it feels like my heart would burst. what a time to be alive.
Watching this in August of 2021 as a singaporean, just saying that Iâll forever be proud of him, no matter what. He brought huge glory to our nation and that will be in our hearts forever â€ïž
I am a Filipino that's been to this tiny country called Singapore, and as a fellow Southeast Asian, I'm proud of this guy, too..To achieved this kind of athleticism, and beating the greatest swimmer ever (Michael Phelps) is way beyond amazing, it's just unimaginable ! Good luck on your goals in Tokyo 2020, Joe ! Go smoke them all !
Ok lah
I love his parents! they are so cute and love their son so so much.
I cried
Someone posted that Schooling is the only person who could make me cry listening to our National Anthem. I feel the same.
His coaches didnât know what goggles and cap he should be wearing?
Im not a Singaporean but OMG im crying watching this. The thing abt the national anthem played for the first time in Olympic...how the whole nation cheering for him...truly heart touching moment to see đ
no matter what happens, schooling will always remain a legend đ
âThe brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who donât want it badly enough. Theyâre there to stop the other people.â
~Randy Pausch~
The Last Lecture! A Favâ„ïž
as a Singaporean, I feel so incredibly proud
I remember watching that race with a friend and I remembered when his name was being called, my friend and I looked at eachother and were jokingly like "Schooling? He's gonna school this race!" not really thinking much of it. But then he actually flew by and won and our jaws just dropped.
âI hate practice Iâm not gonna lieâ mood
Joseph is amazing. He is my Idol now. How can he have that determination at the age of 13. My godness.
The intro and outro are at my pool! I was so confused when I started the video haha. Amazing to see a legend at the same place I was just earlier today.
Schooling: *gets into Olympic final*
Also Schooling: âthat was probably one of the worst experiences in my lifeâ
We will be Schoolingâs fan after watching this.
love from malaysia
Yeah thatâs fine
I am a Singaporean, and watching this video makes me cry.
When his team mate mentioned how amazing a gold medal is for a young country, I automatically thought of Mr Tan Howe Liang, who bagged a silver medal way back in 1960...even before independence.
Yes! As a young kid of ten, I remember how proud I was. Then Bernard Chan came 5th in the finals of the 200m Butterfly in Tokyo 1964. Later he was my boss for awhile in the advertising industry. He still had that Olympic drive to succeed and always inspired me to do the same.
What an inspiration!!!
From India.
After watching this u are my biggest inspiration and u have really inspired to work harder and harder. What a story.
"I don't want to be the richest man in the cemetery", that is the smartest thing I've heard in a long time.
His parents are the best! Really and truly a test of love and determination đ
Oh man, I remember watching this live. A triple silver metal and an amazing gold medal. Got shocked when I watched Joseph but so excited for him afterwards. He has a great future ahead, I hope he competes in Tokyo 2020.
The whole Singapore are proud to have you. Thanks for your dedicated performance and effort!!! make history agan in the 2020 olympics!!!
He will always be our all time pride and glory . Joseph schooling đžđŹ
I just love his dedication.... Many countries are out there who were not very much in Olympics or sports at all. But I love how everyone is getting aware of a lot of games đ€
Always supporting you from home Joseph!
- Fellow Singaporean
I cried when they played the Singapore national anthem on the day he won the gold medal in Rio.
The whole country was so SHOOKETH
I got chills when the National anthem played
I hope that my country, the Philippines will finally win its first-ever Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. â€ïžđ”đ
Diaz did it!! Congratz to Philippines!!
you guys did itâ€ïž
And it happened! Singaporean here and I'm so happy for you guys!
@@sanxithe @rifa @christine YES WE ARE SO HAPPY!!! This calls for a fiesta! Thank you! I was in tears watching it yesterday!!! Thank you, really!
Iâm Chinese, I donât know why Iâm so emotional and crying to watch this. Good job
Michael doesnât cry after he becomes 2nd, he just is proud of him.
You are our golden boy ,we are all very proud of you,you created history for Singapore!!
This is my favourite video of all time right now!
This brought tears to my eyes.. I'm an Indianđ„ș
So happy for Singapore. â€
relieving this moment as if it were yesterday, but we got to remember, just the fact that our athletes represent us in such a legendary sporting event is a big deal in itself :")
let's never forget when joseph won this medal for us singaporeans years ago.
His story is so inspirational, it takes a lot to not give up. Legends.
I don't care who you are. The Rio 2016 100m Butterfly Final is one the best swimming races in history. I was cheering on my fellow Hungarian, Cseh LĂĄszlo! No one would have predicted a little Singaporean would be the top three best swimmers in the sport! Absolutely fantastic! Good luck Schooling!
Here after Tokyo! Still a winner to me†come back stronger Joseph! Ubi, Singapore.
Wow i can never forget this still remember watching this sensational win !!I luved what his Dad had to say stun the world he sure did !!đ
Such loving parents and a incredible son! All the best for this Schooling and his fam
When you beat your idol itâs great feeling
Amazing inspirational story and video put together!
A WR and his coach says he's no where near as fast as he could go..... I see
He's gonna beat the World Record in 2020. Mark this comment.
Edit: Pandemic really fcked up everything right? Well, see you all in 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Hopefully this time, 2021 is not a climax of what 2020 has been.
Yeah, I mean what happened to Schooling? Did he fall off his pace this year or what? Or is Dressel just too good that he makes everyone else look slow?
Louie u r RIGHT!
Elsa Koh u r RIGHT!
Louie Salvador hahaha..... thatâs not going to happen
and so the saga continues
I hope to be that dad to future my children. Showering endless love and support. A real inspiration.
What a legend, and he has really great parents.
8:12 When your so bald you don't even need to wear a swim cap at the Olympics.
I see this as an absolute win!
Oh my god, he blends in so well i didn't even notice.
I know that no one cares but i'm the 69th like.
I remember watching this on TV, it was truly spectacular, all the best in Tokyo 2020!
Congratulations Joseph from Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental, Philippines. We love you.
"I dont wanna be the richest in the cemetary" school em dad, tell em!!
So proud of joseph achievement. I still remember at 1992 barcelona, susi susanti win indonesia's first gold medal. Tokyo 2020 is coming!
Smart and supportive parents, well done to all three!
Got extremely emotional watching this. Being an athlete is a life lesson. relish the joy of winning but polish yourself from failures.
i gonna take this medal in 2024 you all will see this First man from Kyrgyzstan take this medal
@ Stormly Man All the best. May you inspire millions. đđ
im betting
Wish you Luck bro!
Like the saying,The ball is round,its not everyday you're on top.Never stop on your dream!
I hope u do as well as u want to! Perform ur best!! No regrets!!
I hope to see you
'dont like to lose '- that is what a kiasu Singaporean would say , love from Malaysia
As a Thai, You inspire me a lot. Keep doing and get gold medals at Tokyo 2020.
He is a prove that a success is a combination of love, hardwork, fail, pain and passion.
I remember watching him defeat Phelps while I was getting ready for my school in the morning.. I was surprised and felt happy for entire Singapore
ALL THE BEST FOR 2020!!!! SINGAPORE LOVES YOU
There is covid-19 and the olympics is postponed to 2021
What an Amazing Warm Welcome For Him......Amazing Singapore .....Keep it Up
This is so touchy. Can't wait to see him on tokyo ASAP
I cried what an amazing short documentary đđŒđ
I was a lot into swimming as a kid but as an Indian we know sports, except cricket has no future.. My parents were very supportive at all times and never forced me to take any decision.. some of the things Schooling's parents said to him my dad has said to me. Being just a tad bit younger than him, I guess it's your choices, your determination and your hard work that gets you places. Now I will be a doctor in another year, so not bad.. To be someone people look up to, give inspiration to the next generation, you gotta strive for excellence.. People don't give swimming it's due credit idk why maybe it's not endorsed by big brands or it's not covered throughout the year.. but any one who knows about competitive swimming knows the amount of dedication it requires, and I'm not saying this just like that.. I know what hard work means.. I took a career in medicine so you can count on it lol.. When I first saw this race it gave me goosebumps and the way he celebrated was awesome.. I googled about him and this video made me write some things about myself too.. but it's all about him! U know, you can never enjoy the destination if u haven't been through the process.. it takes time but eventually u'll get there! Just, DON'T GIVE UP! All the best to everyone in their lives! God bless Singapore :D
Daksh Singhal what about hockey?
Rahim Dina here in India it's mostly cricket which is a good career option.. no other sport is given its credit:( sad but true although hockey is our national game
Daksh Singhal come out of your well. Look around and you will see that Indians love other sports too. Only the idiot North Indians loves cricket( excluding Haryana and Punjab ). Also, Hockey is not the national sport. You learnt nothing in school.
Daksh Singhal ** itâs the national game of Pakistan! The Sports Community over there hasnât ever announced about it being the natural game just that India has been successful in it.
*national
Hi Joseph I don't know if you remember me but there was this one time I was watching one of your practices and I was like "why can't anybody beat Joseph and now why you have been my inspiration the past year. I haven't been making my time cuts and watching this made me realize that anything is possible. Thank you, Ella The one you thought was 8 because I was short.
Wow
Yooooooo one year later check đ
Neeraj brought this feelings to India, on this 2020 Tokyo Olympic. It's a great feeling.
Canât wait to see him swim in Tokyo.
Does he join this year?
@@wendys5071 Yes I think he is swimming tmrw and later this week
@Space Dust Ikr kinda disappointing. 2016 might have been his peak :(
As a Singaporean Iâm so proud of Joseph schoolingâs gold win, but honestly after the Olympics he became so much more arrogant. Well considering how much media coverage he has been given, itâs not surprising how cocky he became.
Just incredible Joseph for you are truly an inspiration to everyone . Goes to show you dreams come true if you work hard and have great Coaches and very supportive parents
his parents are amazing. Both his mom and dad are so funny and loving
"I guide other's to a treasure that I cannot possess"
I just told him " Stun the world " .
Those parents are goal! What a great story! LOVE this
from young country and such small country. it's superb how he won gold medal.
