RIP to this great man. It's 2023 and I came back for some encouraging words. Your wise words will continue to inspire more and more people. I can't wait to recommend this to my son when he is of age Rest in eternal peace to the LEGEND
those thousands will be successful and spread it to millions, and then billions. this man could have had an unprecedented amount of impact on the world
Hello, I'm a young French man and it's only today, 08/07/2023 that I've seen this video. I was really moved by the words this old man used. I'd like to thank this man for his speech because it made me realise that this world isn't rotten and that we can all succeed in life. Wherever this old man is today, I hope his soul is at peace.

It was on my recommendation and I scrolled passed it so many times and the video literally never went away and then I was like dang I’m just meant to watch it and this man gave amazing advice that I needed to hear 🙂
I watched this video 4 years ago. Never, in any moment of my life, someone said that I was important, or that they needed me, or that I have something to give or offer to anyone. This old man said to me something so simple, in such a short, compact and in a serious manner something that changed something in me. I was so pessimistic about everything, my life, the world. And after the video ended something switched in my brain, some nail was hammered, some screw got tightened. I never felt so inspired and hopeful about my capabilities. I went to seriously work on myself for the first in my life. Finished high school, got a job, made the final exam with a score that never in my best dreams hoped to get. Got into the best Uni of my country, with a subject that I love the most, made the first friends in almost 10 years, and now I hardly recognize myself from 5 years ago. Now I am seeing crisis, one after another, it all seems bleak, where I even question if this is ever going to stop... But once again this video got in my recommendations, and once again, I remember why it was, and still is, so impactful to me. This old guy changed my life forever, I really wished he was still here to read this comment, and know how much grateful I am to him. Work hard everyone! Never stop the chain this man created! Best of effort to everyone who is still in this fight!
Please know he has read your comment, and his heart was filled with joy that his words, the words he send out into the universe, landed and helped you. Isn’t that wonderful! But, be assured, he saw your comments and he knows. Thank you for sharing your story, it was a pleasure to read it! Victoria
@@maaz322 lol, that makes it so much cringier. Considering the last samurai cultured lol. A movie where a white marine is the last samurai, om, so cultured. My bad.
I'm 20 years old constantly hounded by the fear of never being successful. The way this man speaks of determination and knowledge truly touched my soul. May he rest in peace, Always.
I’m currently 19 and going through one of the most turbulent yet exciting years of my life and left my home to go abroad to study.Your words gave increased my motivation.I will one day show this video to my future children. May you rest in peace.Become one with the universe friend.
I’m 19 as well! Will be 20 next year! Videos like this give me solid wisdom most people won’t give you! Even your own family bloodline! Will be following this wisdom from this man for the rest of my life! My dad gives me some good wisdom I do follow!
Seeing a man go through so much hardship and yet come out of it not just a survivor, but a man who's fully living his life and feeling positive about life - what a goat. Respect!
Me 2 but this ain't workin for me and I'm only 26 I feel like I'm already a old man ready too go already or something like not physical wise but like thought wise because I've known the struggle my whole 26 years and still counting not progressing because now a days cant even get a job at the moment with the virus at this point I'd rather get rich or die trying smh
I am 17 years old and I am living a period of failure, but inside me I have beautiful dreams, in my soul, in my heart. Recently, I discovered that wishing and wanting is not enough. You have to struggle to reach what you want. When I am the age of this great man, I want to be proud of what I have created, what I have presented, what I have succeeded in, and what I have failed to achieve. I know that I am in a bad situation now and no one believes in me, but I can overcome this. God is with me and myself is with me as well. This video appeared to me by chance. I felt it was a signal for me to stop, wake up from my sleep, get up, and stop creating drama and illusions. I must get up and live a real life, overcoming my fear and the bad people in my life. I know that this is difficult because I have tried hundreds of times and failed, but I will be stronger. I will fight for the peaceful and prosperous life that I desire, no matter what the cost. Rest in peace, great man. I hope your kind soul rests in heaven♥.

An old man's advice is like a rare gem, shaped by the wisdom of time and experience. In the midst of our fast-paced world, taking heed of such wisdom can offer invaluable insights and guidance. Here's to cherishing the timeless wisdom passed down through generations
Inspirational video from an genuine soul. None of that vibe like he is trying to sell me something or monetize that I get from all the other self-help channels.
Good and bad do not exist but people’s opinions and perceptions on reality do exist only for a short time until they die and sometimes their opinions will go on for a couple hundred years and maybe a couple thousand years but eventually their opinions will disappear maybe due to a catastrophe that wipes out most of mankind.
@@darragh3796 that's mostly irrelevant to the conversation, the important thing is, he is in a better place and it is now our responsibility to spread his message
I needed this in this exact moment. I’ve been feeling like an absolute failure recently because of a mistake I made. It’s been so hard trying to get out of condemnation & self hate. All I keep saying is I wish I could go back in time and be smarter but I can’t. I really feel like I’ve ruined my future & my family. I needed these words. It’s been really hard. Really hard.
I just came across this video and I watched the other one just now and I must say, I'm touched. I came by real late but I still felt the impact of this sweet old man's advice. I don't think I've gotten any advice like this one. Not even from my parents. The way he says, we need you. The way he spoke, I didn't know when my eyes got teary. Coz my life right now is hard, it's really hard and I've just been trying to get by and hold on. I really needed this. I wish I could sit down with him and enjoy more of his wisdom. But now he's resting. May his sweet soul rest in peace with the Lord. Even in death, you're still impacting lives. Thank you so much. You were a gift and you still are.
This video kept popping up on my homepage, at first i did not even wanted to look, but something made me look at the tumbnail for a few seconds more every time...i watched this with tears in my eyes & a little more love on my heart🙏🏽❤
The youtube algorithm is a magical thing, scientists cannot explain it but when you are given a video by the all mighty algorithm you watch it and by God you pay attention to every word.
I am sobbing while watching this. It randomly appeared in my suggested after a pretty bad panic attack. The world seems out of my control; it is 2023. Things are surface level good for me, but nothing is stable. It feels like it will crumble at any moment. Those in power seem to eat everything up in their greed no matter what we do, and those older than me (I’m 29) only have harsh words to give to my generation when we try to seek advice or share how confusing this time is with them. I’ve prayed for some older, wiser being to converse with, to show me the way, to hear me out. I’m so thankful for this video. I saw that this sweet soul passed away, god bless his soul. This was the answer to my prayer. I am determined to become the old person young people can turn to for hope and encouragement, like he did for me. Thank you. ❤
I love old people. To me, they are like books but better. They have so much to offer - stories, experience, words of wisdom, love and warmth! My whole life I wanted a grandmother/father figure around me who'll guide me. I'm so lucky I found this channel.
*This is the type of grandpa everyone wishes they had in their life giving them advice for any problem with life or when you are conflicted you can just simply talk it out*
A great man, whose inspirational words are forever engraved in the hearts and minds of those of us that were fortunate enough to stumble upon this video. RIP, Mr. Bernard Albertson.
Vid got recommended to me this morning and I needed this message more than ever, thank you for the advice and kind words. Your impact on us young people will last forever, RIP 💙🙏🏽
It’s crazy how this is getting recommended to everyone 5 years later when his words are just as true as when he filmed this. I speak for all of us when I say Rest In Peace Bernard
@FallxnAce From an article I read, it said he died of an undisclosed illness at age 82. Source: www.latestnewssouthafrica.com/2020/07/16/bernard-albertson-death-man-who-suffered-illetracy-to-a-writer-of-multiple-published-works/
A great African proverb because we did not have widespread written history. Most wisdom was passed orally so when the elders passed they took all their wisdom with them. Thus children would often sit at the feet of elders listening to stories of times gone by
give me a break... There are plenty of old men who never read a book in their lives & never did much living. There are a lot of them. Don't give them so much credit.
"I see young people stepping on a flag, throwing rocks, rioting that's frustration, frustration, its frustration with the establishment" This guy said that 3 years ago and it is coming up right now in time, its inspiring
@@delve_ to add to that, my idea is that however CZcams's algorithms work, it in some way incorporates current events and talking points from comments and recent video subjects and video titles that the majority clicks on to determine what is and is not relevant at any given time. So the reason this video "randomly" got recommended again now is BECAUSE of what's going on right now in the world. CZcams likely didn't pick this video out themselves to show the world some good advice in these trying times. Instead they probably just wrote their algorithm in such a way that, essentially, WE picked this video out as being within the realms of videos we want more of based on the types of videos we already watch.
Thank you Sir.. We needed you as our PRESIDENT... You are Our Inspiration.. God rest your Soul... I'm 67 and pretty much given up hope.. I hold onto the crumb of Hope.. Thank You..
Thank you for this Mr. Albertson Ive been needing to hear this for a long time now. I wasn’t expecting to cry but your words hit harder than I thought. I hope you are resting well, you are a beautiful soul.
It’s crazy….I’m having a really off day today and this beautiful man showed up on my CZcams feed and I’m so glad I clicked…. this is the kind of stuff that I really needed to hear. May your legacy live on and may you rest in peace Bernard❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you:,)
haha yes! My thoughts exactly! To me it felt like a moment where he was in tune with God- speaking His words through his own self....so in a way...maybe to him it seemed like he got off track. Because for a moment- the words he began to speak were not a part of his plan alone to say. I felt like I got to witness a moment where Truth became true: that all good things come from the good Source. And when we do good intentions out of our heart- they are in fact inspired from this Source of all good- even if we aren't aware of it. That our own choice to choose good over bad allows this beautiful interaction between these two worlds. Please, if you are reading this- no matter what you believe in- please choose to give in to the tenderness of your heart. You don't have to believe in what I believe to decide to give love to others. So please, let the love flow and choose to love. Aside from every single thing in this entire world of beliefs and philosophies- the one thing we can all choose to do universally- as one- is to love. Love is the only thing in this world that may divide us and bring us together. The divide is our love for different things. But the togetherness- is the love that we feel for each other. And we don't have to agree on anything if we agree to love; because it's strong enough to accept all of the differences that may divide us.....when it is truly love. Learning to love a person down to the center of who they are- as a person; rather than the things that shaped them into it. This way of loving a person leads into the love of the journey they've taken and the things that shaped them into who they are. Allowing true tender love to hold a person; instead of the idea of the things that we choose to love. :D
I know I’ll make it and I’ll always try to better myself because of you Sir. Thank you for reminding me that it’s never too late, I will forever remember your teachings and kindness, rest in peace❤
He said until his last breath he will help kids.. he recently passed and this video has also just gotten in everyone’s recommended. The old man made sure everyone has a chance to hear him 😭
For anyone wondering, Bernard passed away on July 10, 2020. He was 82. Rest in peace, Bernard. Thank you for leaving a message towards the generations before you.
I was holding off from watching this for quite some time, but after watching this, I realised that I didn't want these words from this kind old man, but needed this from him to get myself in order, as I need to educate myself for exams, studies etc. I understand this now & I love you too, Albert. R.I.P 🪦
Sometimes I get discouraged, and things like this just appear in my feed like the algorithms sensed it and were like, “Ok, but this guy believes in you. He’s been through rough times, too.” And I appreciate that.
Well my bad has lasted for over 30 years and it don't look like it's gonna get any better any time soon.Just so sick and tired of being sick and tired I need some love and happiness in my life for once.
No offense beautiful soul but he probably made this 2 years ago... but stuff like this has been relevant for many decades and even centuries... the air and water though has certainly gotten a lot worse in the last 50+ years ...
@@nattysichau5530 He's just saying that this man wasn't the first nor the last person to say these words and that it's been like that for thousands of years.
I just got recommended the first “An old man’s advice” video today, which was on my first day of college. It wasn’t easy, and it stressed me out. I was starting to question my existence at college, but these two videos made me feel so much better. The love and inspiration Bernard Albertson gave means so much and I thank him with all my heart for just being him. 😊❤
Beginning of 2024 and this video came up while i was scrolling my recommended bc it was apparently on my “saved for later” list and i had forgotten about it. I’m so glad i clicked bc this care and encouragement made me feel so full of hope and gratitude. RIP to this kind soul, and thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you, Sir! I needed this, even though I’m 51. Just like you, I dropped out at 10th grade, and took it upon myself to learn computer science and had a great career the past few decades. But now as I’m older, I feel I loss the drive I once had, and need to get it back. Thank you for this inspirational video.
At this exact moment in my life, every word spoken was exactly what I am feeling and needed to hear. It's literally an unbelievable sign that this was recommended to me today. Thank you for your words and care
I wanna be completely honest. I am very grateful for you making this Video. It really encourages me in tough times and it makes me happy hearing what the old generation thinks about us🙏 Thank you
I’ve had this video and a few others sitting in my watch later because I didn’t feel like I needed them yet. However, tonight felt different. Not only did I need this advice, but someone I love needed it too. Amazing advice from an inspiring person.
This is what we call the “GOOD” side of CZcams.
If you are the first reply u get the most attention change my mind

Lol yes
He passed only 7 days ago:( godly number though Godspeed sir Godspeed

An old man's advice is like a rare gem, shaped by the wisdom of time and experience. In the midst of our fast-paced world, taking heed of such wisdom can offer invaluable insights and guidance. Here's to cherishing the timeless wisdom passed down through generations
Inspirational video from an genuine soul. None of that vibe like he is trying to sell me something or monetize that I get from all the other self-help channels.
Whoever at CZcams slipped this into the recommended, is a true hero. We all need this right now.

“Good nor bad things last forever” I’ll keep that in mind.
There’s a lyric from a country song that goes “thinking that your luck won’t ever change is like thinking it won’t ever stop once it starts to rain”
Balance
Numb
Good and bad do not exist but people’s opinions and perceptions on reality do exist only for a short time until they die and sometimes their opinions will go on for a couple hundred years and maybe a couple thousand years but eventually their opinions will disappear maybe due to a catastrophe that wipes out most of mankind.
Corrona virus: am I a joke to you
The most wholesome video i ever watched in my entire life.
The camera angle makes it seem like he is speaking to me from the heavens.
This came on my recommended again because he passed. May he rest in peace
😔
He just died??
Fabris W. it seems like it yeah
Love him man 🤦🏾♂️ everybody just remember to spread the positivity like he did💯
Noooo fuck man nooo!!
This video is this man’s legacy. I believe that as he left this world, he left it a better place.
I just saw this video, I'm basically speechless. I feel so motivated to do something productive and help people
Then came 2020
Wait did he pass? Please god tell me he didn't pass I literally just found this channel
How did he die?
@@darragh3796 that's mostly irrelevant to the conversation, the important thing is, he is in a better place and it is now our responsibility to spread his message
I needed this in this exact moment. I’ve been feeling like an absolute failure recently because of a mistake I made. It’s been so hard trying to get out of condemnation & self hate. All I keep saying is I wish I could go back in time and be smarter but I can’t. I really feel like I’ve ruined my future & my family. I needed these words. It’s been really hard. Really hard.
I heard this from someone once.
When an old man dies, a library dies.
its true
I heard it on nat geo wild about the africans
Yep..That an african setup.since stories of our old,,are dictated from parent to child,In this day and age very little is passed on

I just came across this video and I watched the other one just now and I must say, I'm touched. I came by real late but I still felt the impact of this sweet old man's advice. I don't think I've gotten any advice like this one. Not even from my parents. The way he says, we need you. The way he spoke, I didn't know when my eyes got teary. Coz my life right now is hard, it's really hard and I've just been trying to get by and hold on. I really needed this. I wish I could sit down with him and enjoy more of his wisdom. But now he's resting. May his sweet soul rest in peace with the Lord. Even in death, you're still impacting lives. Thank you so much. You were a gift and you still are.

Well I’m not depressed or sad or nothing but his message was strong for the future.
This video kept popping up on my homepage, at first i did not even wanted to look, but something made me look at the tumbnail for a few seconds more every time...i watched this with tears in my eyes & a little more love on my heart🙏🏽❤
The youtube algorithm is a magical thing, scientists cannot explain it but when you are given a video by the all mighty algorithm you watch it and by God you pay attention to every word.
just did an exam, you have no idea how convenient this was
Universe gave it to us
I am sobbing while watching this. It randomly appeared in my suggested after a pretty bad panic attack. The world seems out of my control; it is 2023. Things are surface level good for me, but nothing is stable. It feels like it will crumble at any moment. Those in power seem to eat everything up in their greed no matter what we do, and those older than me (I’m 29) only have harsh words to give to my generation when we try to seek advice or share how confusing this time is with them. I’ve prayed for some older, wiser being to converse with, to show me the way, to hear me out. I’m so thankful for this video. I saw that this sweet soul passed away, god bless his soul. This was the answer to my prayer. I am determined to become the old person young people can turn to for hope and encouragement, like he did for me.
Thank you. ❤
I love old people. To me, they are like books but better. They have so much to offer - stories, experience, words of wisdom, love and warmth! My whole life I wanted a grandmother/father figure around me who'll guide me. I'm so lucky I found this channel.
*This is the type of grandpa everyone wishes they had in their life giving them advice for any problem with life or when you are conflicted you can just simply talk it out*
I can agree with this
:( I never had a grandpa but um I do wish I had one.
I think I could actually listen to a lecture if it sounded like this
LIKE UNCLE IROH FROM ATLA (avatar: the last airbender)
He remind me a lot of my grandfather who passed exactly a year ago. We were extremely close so it’s hard to watch but it’s a good listen
The fact that everybody is watching this today and then during times like these is crazy, but honestly needed
Exactly

Yeah
Woah wtf you tube is def just like putting this on everyone’s home page to get them to look at it, this good messages, especially in times like this
Shut up
A great man, whose inspirational words are forever engraved in the hearts and minds of those of us that were fortunate enough to stumble upon this video.
RIP, Mr. Bernard Albertson.
Vid got recommended to me this morning and I needed this message more than ever, thank you for the advice and kind words. Your impact on us young people will last forever, RIP 💙🙏🏽
It’s crazy how this is getting recommended to everyone 5 years later when his words are just as true as when he filmed this. I speak for all of us when I say Rest In Peace Bernard
I’m sad to know he passed damn. Rest In Peace and Honor Bernard
He passed?!! Awh that’s so sad. Rest in peace :(
@FallxnAce From an article I read, it said he died of an undisclosed illness at age 82. Source: www.latestnewssouthafrica.com/2020/07/16/bernard-albertson-death-man-who-suffered-illetracy-to-a-writer-of-multiple-published-works/

bro that hit hard
A great African proverb because we did not have widespread written history. Most wisdom was passed orally so when the elders passed they took all their wisdom with them. Thus children would often sit at the feet of elders listening to stories of times gone by
@@villagevoicefilms5861 same in india in very old times

The Baltimore Protests were happening right around the time he uploaded this video, so it's very likely he was referring to that.
@@delve_ Yet we were all recommended this video in the exacte time it would be most relevant. It almost feels intentional, doesn't it?
+daniel flin
Could be. It's most likely just the algorithm doing its thing, but it could be intentional. Only CZcams knows.
@@delve_ to add to that, my idea is that however CZcams's algorithms work, it in some way incorporates current events and talking points from comments and recent video subjects and video titles that the majority clicks on to determine what is and is not relevant at any given time. So the reason this video "randomly" got recommended again now is BECAUSE of what's going on right now in the world. CZcams likely didn't pick this video out themselves to show the world some good advice in these trying times. Instead they probably just wrote their algorithm in such a way that, essentially, WE picked this video out as being within the realms of videos we want more of based on the types of videos we already watch.
Thank you Sir.. We needed you as our PRESIDENT...
You are Our Inspiration..
God rest your Soul... I'm 67 and pretty much given up hope..

“...I got a little off track there”
No, no you definitely didn’t, sir.
What a legend 🙏🏻❤️
To think this was made 5 years ago and he's talking about stuff happening now
@@maddyrose6196 yeah
@@maddyrose6196 That is exactly what I was thinking
haha yes! My thoughts exactly! To me it felt like a moment where he was in tune with God- speaking His words through his own self....so in a way...maybe to him it seemed like he got off track. Because for a moment- the words he began to speak were not a part of his plan alone to say.
I felt like I got to witness a moment where Truth became true: that all good things come from the good Source. And when we do good intentions out of our heart- they are in fact inspired from this Source of all good- even if we aren't aware of it.
That our own choice to choose good over bad allows this beautiful interaction between these two worlds.
Please, if you are reading this- no matter what you believe in- please choose to give in to the tenderness of your heart. You don't have to believe in what I believe to decide to give love to others. So please, let the love flow and choose to love.
Aside from every single thing in this entire world of beliefs and philosophies- the one thing we can all choose to do universally- as one- is to love. Love is the only thing in this world that may divide us and bring us together. The divide is our love for different things. But the togetherness- is the love that we feel for each other. And we don't have to agree on anything if we agree to love; because it's strong enough to accept all of the differences that may divide us.....when it is truly love.
Learning to love a person down to the center of who they are- as a person; rather than the things that shaped them into it. This way of loving a person leads into the love of the journey they've taken and the things that shaped them into who they are.
Allowing true tender love to hold a person; instead of the idea of the things that we choose to love.
