"Time disguising itself as talent"
I want to get plaques with all my favorite quotes on it and this is definitely one worth putting.
Okay, I'm crying right now.
I'm going to be nineteen next month, and for year I've felt like I'm late, like I'm missing out: people out there have already achieved great milestones and there I am, nothing.
But thanks to yours words I feel better: I have a whole life in front of my, and I can make everything I want: in 2019 I want to improve my English (it's not my first language), to learn German, to visit at least another country, to work on my body, to start memorize some Mandarin character, to read more books of the last few years, to be more positive and happy about myself. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
God bless you
Without The R just 19?
Now I feel bad at 26. I’m learning Russian for two years and still not fluent
Victorianne Castle you'll get there!
I'm 40 and I just started following my dream of being an actor last year. So far I have been in 5 tv shows and a movie and my career is taking off like crazy. You aren't too late. You have plenty of time.
Ich kann mit dir deutsch helfen
"No talent until I discovered it" I love this. This was very motivational. Thank you!
"Time is only disguising itself as talent"
All I can say is thank you. I'm 34 now and have been watching anime since I was around 17 and have always wanted to learn Japanese and as i get older, I look back and think if I had taken time to learn it back then I would already know it but after watching some of your videos I know have an understanding if what I need to do to start and finish. So I've just started and my goal is to be able to leave you a comment in Japanese "with only my memory" in 1 years time. I got my coworker to study with me so we can help each other. Again thank you for putting up these videos.
Brennan Huffman 4 months to go! You can do it :)
You got this! がんばってください！
It's been a year how's the japanese coming?
We worked on it for several months but then covid hit and I work at a grocery store and was working more hours. But I do remember some words but not full sentences. Though it is nice to be able to watch anime and be able to catch some if the thing they say with out reading the subtitles.
update?
That sentence at the end just paralyzed me"I got time... and one day people will call it talent"
wowoowow
He just killed it
I’m 54yr old and still discovering things about myself! This is one of the best motivational videos I have ever seen!
when I was 12 I got my first drawing pad, and I was drawing and animating everyday and enjoyed it. I was beginning to be very good at it. My parents never saw my talent on how good I was in make animation movies. My parents always says that I should not used the money on the drawing pad, because its was just useless. I would never get anything good at that drawing pad in my life. I had very low motivation, I just sat home drawing / animating. Know I am 22 and I worked on the animation on the a animation series called " glitch techs " a series that are coming this week on Netflix. My parents died last year from a car crash. And if I wish that I could just show them that I actually have became successful with that they didn't belive in.
Can we be friends

"I got time and one day people will call it talent." straight fire lyric
Painting is what i actually want to learn and #IHaveTime
I admire you Ikenna❤️
Same
Yaaasss so true. I realized this maybe 5-6 years ago and I’ve learned SO MUCH since then! I had never touched a piano until last year and now I lead worship at church, I learned guitar this year, i learned Spanish and now I’m learning Hebrew! It’s so much fun when you give yourself time. I also taught myself calligraphy! So fun!
This guy is speaking so much sense. I love the idea that we all have abilities in us if we just invest that time. I'm 34 and have long thought of myself as talentless and just drifting through life but this is really inspirational. Recently I started to learn French and whilst I'm still struggling with the basics sometimes I know what lies at the end if I just invest in myself and don't quit. Thanks dude, you're amazing x
This is what I keep trying to tell people! Everyone says that I'm "talented" at the piano, everyone says I'm "lucky", but I can't get them to realize that they can do it too. I also really want to learn multiple languages, but I've found it really difficult. This video was a great inspiration for me. I'm glad you shared your story with everyone, and good luck on the piano! It'll take time and dedication, but, if you can put in the effort to learn and work on the languages you've worked on, and you have the right tools, you'll be able to do really well.
#IHaveTime I want to become fluent in spanish, eventually learn Korean and German, I want to go to photography school, to breakdance, draw realistic portraits and learn to play my violin
You look like the rock with hair(holy sh*t thanks for the 113 likes)
Omg you're right
And with a smaller musculature
Nope
holy shit i will never unsee this
AGREEMENT 100
People think I'm talented at art. They say I don't try and it turns out amazing... as nice as it the statement is it put me down. They don't see the hours I put into it at home. Everyone connected me to it - my 'talent' instead of who I was. I want to prove it takes hard work some people have a head start but thats it. So im trying to Learn Japanese and reach my goals through hard work. Also, Ikenna, your drawings are great- it can really turn into something to be proud of. I believe in everyone. ^.^
Hey...can you give some drawing tips 👉🏻👈🏻
I want to be good at it but I’m really bad.. soo can you help?
@@subashree7800 keep practicing, *don’t compare yourself to other artists*, and don’t take criticism personally. Also, don’t pressure yourself to be great right away. And have fun with it! The best art comes with a healthy mindset and self-confidence.
@@tebthecat1141 thank you. Can you say what to learn first and what comes next? I’m confused and idk what to learn ...
Thank you for this video I am 38 years old and since being unwell and being at home, I have just started learning Mandarin. I have been told by a few people that im old and why start now. However I have manage to remember lots of characters and now getting use to the tones since October. I did a degree in my early 20s, but now I have also discovered that i would be a talented cricket coach. When i get better hopefully by this November I will qualify as a level 2 coach
I like your positivity and curiocity! ありがとう from Japan!
"No trial, no discovery" this phrase inspired me. Thank's for this, comrade. From Russia with love!
Well said. We make a lot of excuses about time and commitment. Video well done. Also I like that you mentioned how comparing ourselves to others can stop us from progressing; that is true.
I've never felt more inspired in my entire life
Thank you :)
I'm like, when i see the thumbnail: never to late for what? Hmm..
I was giving up on the violin because for some time I was told to be talented, but once I realized that I was becoming worse and worse I got depressed for like a year or so. Recently I started to watch your videos and you gived me te confidence to learn japanese as my third lenguage (my mother tong spanish). This video mede me think about a bunch of stuf in my life, about the things i've quit, and te things I even haven't tried because of the fear of failure even though I'm 16 (jeez). You made me think that maybe it's time to just give it a chance bro, thank you for that :)
People say I'm talented. At academics and at Art. What people don't see is all the times when I was a shy child who had no talents, no friends. I was nothing special.
I'm 14 and I want to be able to look back and say "I made the most of my life" I want to do so many things! Learn an instrument, learn German and either French/Spanish/Japanese/Arabic.
I've already started trying producing Music and I'm going to keep going!
We only live once so let's make the most of it! Let's try everything, learn everything, meet new people and do something that makes us happy!
I don't really have any natural talent. But I have one thing. I'll keep trying no matter what!
My school used to play a "motivational video" on our announcements each morning, and I was able to get this one to be played a while ago in front of the whole school.
I remember other kids telling me that this video was much better than all the other "motivational videos" that they had seen before.
I’ve just found your channel. When I was a child I had intrest to literally everything. Art, sports, language etc... but i didn’t have opportunity to improve any of them. At least I tought English to myself as much as I could but now, at the age of 20, I have been feeling like I lost my motivation and excitement towards anything. But I have just realized, the idea of learning new languages makes me so excited. I can speak two language, I was learning Korean as a third language but I stopped, now I made a decision to keep learning Korean and also German. I believe I can do them simultaneously. And there are some other languages I want to learn next. I should be more determined and keep my time to make it happen. You really motivated me I wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻 😌
Thank you so much! I’m trying to learn Yoruba French Spanish and Arabic. I believe I can do this
If you need some help in Arabic I can help you
You can. You can do it.
I started writing novels ten years ago.
I started Russian two years ago.
I’m consistent at both. Not yet published nor fluent but I am going there. Because it’s fun and worth it.
I’m almost 27.
I had a similar experience with ballet. I took ballet when I was about four for three years. Then I quit until middle school when I decided I wanted to pick it up again. Ballet is one of the most demanding activities ever. You have to be well coordinated, strong, athletic, and you have to make it all look easy. And starting up again in middle school was already starting much later than every one else at the studio who had been dancing since they were toddlers. That fact alone was very discouraging but I've met so many wonderful people who are now some of my best friends and I stuck with it. I've been dancing for five years now and got into the youth company at the studio a couple years ago. And now, even though I've gotten soloist roles in productions, I still don't see myself as talented but I try my best and work hard. Thank you for your kind and inspiring words and I hope to remember them as I try learning Chinese.
people have always praised me on my English language (it’s not my first language)thinking that i was born (smart) or (talented) without effort but actually it took a lot of time I’m learning Turkish now and it’s horrible to feel unconfident but I realized even though nothing is easy nothing is impossible i will learn Turkish just as i learned English
Never really watched CZcams channels consistently but I always seem to come to this page. Thanks for motivation! Wish you the best!
talent = time
if you don't try you will never find out
Man you're absolutely amazing. I was laying in my bed and had no strenght to do anything today. Thanks to you i'm now awake, ready to go to the gym and then do my homework. I needed to hear those words you've pronounced : it's never too late, you can start now. Let's be better than yesterday. 🙃
Thank you! I've been sick for a year now and I have pretty severe anxiety disorder as well as depression. It's been making being motivated extremely difficult and after barely being able to do anything for so long and wanting to stop pushing myself to try bc the fight seems endless, this really helps a lot. :) Thanks again, your videos are always so inspirational💕
I'm 14 and my dream is to learn Mandarin. I've started 3 months ago. Thank you for all you do! You are an inspiration to me and to many others!!! 谢谢你!!! ¡Gracias!
Thanks for the motivation. I ran into your channel a week or two back and have really enjoyed the videos I've watched so far.
This video seems like the right one to say how I've always wanted to learn as many languages as I can but have kept feeling it was impossible due to not being a "school style" learner. I'm about to set off on a weeks vacation for my 42 birthday and I plan to take time every day to work on my language goals so I can build the habit while I'm away from all the distractions I have at home.
Your love of language and encouragement for others is a true talent as is your desire to share and motivate others. Thanks again for all you do and all the work you have put in!
Wow this vid legit made me realise I keep on looking back, didn't even realise I was still doing it until now. Thought I'd put the past to bed.
I'm now putting it to bed properly and now just gonna focus as much as possible on what I can do with my own two hands now.
Thanks Ikenna.
Needed to hear this today. I've been wanting to start professionally in dance, but haven't started training until an adult. Thank you Ikenna!
Preach! I love that attitude and I have to admit I'm also striving to do more in my life and keep on expanding. The only limitation is our mind and so don't let it stand in the way of success✌💜 #IHaveTime #ThereAreNoLimits
Such an inspiration...made me cry...
I bought your book lately Ikenna and started my journey on learning a new language. Whenever I am down I come back to this video to cheer myself on and up. Thank you.
I literally cried and felt motivated afterwards. Thank you so much! It felt like you were directly talking to me (us) coz i can relate with everything you just said. I'm binge watching your vids since I was suddenly interested about learning languages, and you popped out in my recommendations since i'm searching a lot. I think i found your vids for a reason. Yes, you'll be one of my inspirations now. You're a great speaker/youtuber btw, you vlog with good substance. you deserve more views and subscribers! Thank you again. Sorry for making my message too long, just wanna tell u , we appreciate your efforts of sharing what you've learned to us. yay!
At this point dedication should be considered a telent in of itself.
Yo why tf did that make me cry. Im a man goddammit! I feel you man i am 23 yrs old and you inspired me to start learning more languages on top of my own first languages of spanish and english. I started with japanese a little more than a month ago consistently. I did a little before but it was on and off when i had a free trial of skillshare. I realize now that the time you put in determines what you can do. I've always been told i was smart and feel like i missed so many opportunities to become "talented" because i knew people that were and i wasnt. Its always made me feel inadequate and informs alot of my i dont gaf attitude. I have recently been working on myself alot and this is just so inspirational. I have had a guitar for years and i never pick it up anymore. I should just put in the time like you said. There are so many things i want to do. This makes me feel that i really can. Thank you man.
This reaches me on a personal level, because i'd been crying and regretting not starting things out as a kid, and always feeling jealous about others who did. Now when i want to do it i feel i didn't have the time to do it anymore. This hit a sensitive spot.
Thank you man
You made me realize that a specific attribute doesn't necessarily have to be talent. Your zeal and dedication, and even your ability to inspire others is your talent.
I want to applaud this video for giving all of us the power to encourage not only ourselves but encourage others if they're going to the path where they might feel the struggle. Thank you so much for this video.
I call it talent NOW bro. You are talented at absorbing languages and you are talented at teaching and helping others. Yiu are talented brother.
Very inspirational, this really motivated me.
Thank you
so inspirational🙏🏻🙏🏻✨
love the fact that success, achieving goals, becoming and being talented are gained through time..
Me as a person who has experienced this, admire your attitude, devotion, and bravery🌼👏🏻
beyond being talented.
Practice makes perfect and that’s with everything
you are such an inspiration . Thank you !!!!!
This is an awesome video, and it's very true. You can really apply the concept of working on it and as result get better in it to everything. And that's actually more satisfying than just having a "talent" you've had for ages. It's so wonderful and satisfying when you see the results of your work and that makes you really proud. Thanks for the video, you're amazing!!
Yo.... Ikenna, you are probably the most inspirational person i know right now. Everything you do resonates with me 10 fold. I hope to one day speak my first language outside of english. I aspire to make music and pick up my skills in 3D modeling again. I just gotta drop the time i spend playing games i guess lol. Just like how you loved playing runescape... Ive also found myself just going back to playing games because im comfortable. I gotta take the time away from the games and give myself as schedule starting today. Thanks Ikenna for being you and sharing your journey. It means the world to me and plenty of others watching your content
This video is everything I needed to hear. I'm two weeks into learning my first 2nd language: French. Like you, I was a C/D student in foreign language in High school. But thanks to all your inspiration & FME book! #IHaveTime
Thank you, it really motivated me!
That's great your story really touch my heart deeply
Thanks for the awesome and encouraging video. Keep doing what you are doing, God will use you for sure
Very motivational video! I have thoughts like that all the time. "It's too late. I'm too old. Other people have been doing it since they were a child. I'll never catch up. I'll never be at the level I want to be at..." The main things I feel like that about are: fitness, languages, CZcams and dancing. So this video really resonated with me.
I love your channel you are a breath of fresh air
Honestly Ikenna.. watching your videos is like watching my own life.
It's amazing how much we have in common. I could only imagine how good of friends we would be if we lived in the same area.
Anyway, Much Love brother and thanks for the knowledge (FME)

Wow you have a way with words.
Everbody is born with every talent but all that talent gets lost if you don't nourish it. Talent isn't something magical that makes someone a master of his arts from day one. Talent is the result of the effort, love and sometimes pain that we go through while learning a certain skill. Executing said skill over and over again will make us talented at it. What we need to draw talent from this overflowing well inside of us is passion. Passion arises from inumerable aspects in our lifes like friends, family, society or demography and it can certainly be subject to change. This also means that we can augment or diminish our passion for something by changing certain aspects of our lives. I'm playing guitar for example but if I don't surround myself with music or people who are interested in/making it I will probably run out of passion after some time. Of course we can't adjust all of those aspects as we like (family/society/demography for example) but the ones I named are just the tip of the iceberg.
So everyone, go and find the aspects that you can change in your life to fuel your passion and become the most talented person there is ;)
Your statement spoke to my soul. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much I reeealllyyy needed this at this EXACT time 🙂
i love your videos
Wow!! _So proud of you for how much you have done and inspiring others to do it_ 🤜🤛👍👍
This is great advice. Thanks you
I really want to thank you for making videos. I've been wasting a lot of time thinking how I can't learn a language I wanted instead of actually learning/trying to learn. But your videos really pushed me back to my text books and notebooks, and I am already reading your book and it's so helpful. :)
Also - the fact that you pointed out that talent actually means TIME - that was genius. I am being called talented all the time because I am a graphic artist myself, but in fact - it is just hours and hours of practicing. And good luck with all your plans for learning new skills, you can do anything you can imagine :)
Great videos. Eye opening and motivating. And so true. People, just let’s do it. We can do so much more as we often think.
I feel you in music production and drawing, I didn't have any music or artistic background, 2 years ago till date I put in a lot of time (every single day) and there has been big improvement, even people saying the "T", I'm not the best or anything but I'm better than I was.
i just found your video in recommendations, and I'm so glad i clicked it. i got so much inspiration! continue making videos, do not stop, you're inspiration, there are lots of people who need you. you must succeed.
(do not be offended, step by step i am improving my English)
I can already say that you have talent for speeches.
I love the mindset, keep it up!!
This was so dope. Thank you for this!
Skinny Dwanye Johnson giving me inspiration is all the motivation I need.
Thank you for making this video, I really want to learn Chinese and I'm trying to find the right motivation and push myself to be better than I am, so my feature can be more delightful, and it's hard, but I'm glad people like you make me want to take it further and motivate me to do things that I might have given up on due to the fact that I was "lazy"
Ikenna Oppa, thank you for this video. I have been paralyzed with fear and self doubt for most of my life. Always feeling I'm not good enough, rarely praised. I always felt unintelligent. It frustrates me so much and sucks the life out of me. I know I don't want to keep living like this. My dream is to learn Korean. You gave me bit of hope and warmth on this cold Friday morning...
This is inspiring, great job man...
Great video. You have inspired me in so many ways. I guess you can spend your life saying someone else can do this because they are naturally talented etc. But no one is going to help you, you have to help yourself :)
I needed this so much thx 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I needed that big time, pun actually wasn't intended.
Thanks for this! Much love to you brother 🙏🏼
You are so inspiring ! I love you sooo much 🤗
My inspiration. I am a language enthusiast and currently speak english spanish portuguese and hindi. Plus i am conversational in German and learning French and Italian at the moment. I really would love to hear how you keep motivated as sometimes it can be mega hard even though people often tell me I'm gifted.
Exactly ,I'm 17 and already speaking eng easly even if I'm arabic ,korean level 3 and germany French but still feeling that I wish I started before and to be talented u have to start early but thank you for this video 💗💗💗 it's never to late people💗
Thank you so much for the motivation! You just gave me another kick to work harder on my goals! These goals seem unreachable, but if you put in your effort you can do this! Thank you :)
we love a positive messaaaaage ❤️
Your channel is one of the many channels that inspired me to create mine 🙌🏾 keep up the good work 💕
Wow thats really makes me feel better ❤ Thanks!
I'm one of those people. I'll be 27 in August and still haven't mastered Spanish. I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in the eastern Caribbean and little to no one speaks Spanish here, so it's discouraging at times. I want to start a podcast, write children's books, start a clothing line, etc. I just have to believe in myself more.
Ure awesome thx for everything man
Nice video mate.. Subscribed only a few days ago and enjoying your content..
Having the motivation to do something new and the discipline to be consistent to it is by itself a talent.. And you got it :)
Thank you so much it’s really motivated me ~
Waoh so touching! Thanks for this wonderfull video. Watching from Benin, west Africa. I learned english so easily only through music, just needed 2 months to speak and write in chinese so fluently. And today am building my own empire opening my own restaurant that's another talent i had but just didn't know.
I feel the reality behind your story, thanks for sharing. Luv u. Xoxo and Happy new year!
Amazing inspiration
Hey brother you're amazing, I been watching your videos the whole day and you inspires me to learn japanese beeing my third language spanish beeing my main one. And i really hope that you reach yoy goals. And thanks for the motivation to put in the work and not think that only talented people can do important things.
La vache mec tu viens de me donner une inspiration de ouf ! I am at the moment learning German and I want to learn some other languages so I was only thinking in terms of language... I'm really astonished to see that drawing or handwriting are things that I could learn too, it's really fascinating !!!! Thank you man from the bottom of my heart !!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Super inspiring, thanks for sharing this thoughtful content.
It is kind of uplifting. As a kid I never did well at school, but was very talented when it comes to sports. Or so I thought, until I met a friend of mine who had to put so little effort into achieving something and I actually had to work my ass off. Now I'm struggling to find something new to be good at. Ironically, I live in Germany and I try to learn the language, but with all the effort I try to put into the language it's not as easy. I learned English pretty fast, in two months I could already use the language quite good. But I know I put much more into learning it than I do with German.
