    I am a retired teacher who taught for 38 years. I have taught English on every level from 6th grade to Graduate School. I have never encountered a student or teacher who explained how to learn better than you. I applaud your message. I wish I had this video to share with my students. Thank. You !

    For all of those saying that they don’t have an iPad,
    I think that the message that Samuel is saying doesn’t require an iPad.
    All you need is a way to learn that YOU can connect with.
    OWN YOUR LEARNING.
    Whether that’s an iPad Pro, iPad Air, notepad and pen or even an etch-a-sketch, as long as you’re breaking things down and building it back up, as long as you’re learning and not studying, THAT’S the secret here.
    Every individual learns differently.
    It doesn’t and never will matter what device YOU have, as long as you have a method that works for YOU.

      Mahadsa Boro I understand what you’re saying, and of course you need resources to create something. But in this case, it’s about learning, not having a machine powerful enough to edit 4K video footage on!! Learning is one of the most basic and primitive necessities of us as humans, and we were noting things down long before pen and paper, look at cavemen and how they used to draw on their walls!! Just because it may be easier somewhat to create notes on the iPad, the difference between machine and paper is minuscule when you think about it. My comment is about how it’s not a necessity to own an iPad to learn, but as Samuel says, you need to own YOUR learning. If it’s easier for YOU then by all means go for it!! But it’s not a requirement.

This is the last term of my first year in college. I am a non-traditional (older than average) student. If only I had seen something like this 4 terms ago, I may very well have a 4.0 GPA at this point. I have spent almost this entire time just "studying," trying to simply absorb enough information to "get the grade." It is in this moment I realize how little I have actually learned thus far. I will carry your message through the rest of my journey to a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science. :)

    Dear Samuel. Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for you and this video that you made. 20 minutes of your heartfelt message help me release 46 1/2 years of anguish. I literally cried for a half hour. You see, I come from an uneducated family and the pressure to perform was so great that learning isn’t even on the radar. Scores, results, money, position, prestige...not once did my parents ever care about what I learned. In fact, I was so pressured into getting grades, I actually was illiterate until the 5th grade. Why? Because I was studying and I knew how to pass tests.
    Learn violin! Why? So you can be smarter. Why? So you can earn more money! Go into business school! Why? So you can earn more money! And, after watching your video, I realized why I was so down to the point I tried to take my life 3 times. I had information but I never felt like I learned anything. My curiosity was always stopped. My imagination always ridiculed. God bless you Samuel. This was a huge breakthrough for me and I applaud you for your efforts here on CZcams and elsewhere. Man, this is like a breath of fresh air. Best video on CZcams.

I'm always thinking and exited to learn but that excitement lowers over time especially when I'm in like the 3rd quarter of the 1st semester of school. But after seeing this video I feel more motivated to learn, your videos genuinely help me learn about what makes learning fun and how to implement this into school. I'm still in the 1st semester of 10th grade and I only have 2 years left until I go off to college, but now that I seen your channel you have better equipped me with knowledge that I can use for the rest of my high school years and for my college years. So I'll say once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for opening my eyes to something that will truly help me and others out with their journey to learning.

I suddenly remembered those three little words and took a study break to watch it again. I remembered why I'm doing the course in the first place, so rabbit holes it is!

    In india i completed my high school and along with that my undergraduate program and i can assure you no one absolutely no one is learning not even our teachers have learned anything. All they are doing from their end is completing the syllabus everyday and from our end we are just using that to earn good grades. You have found the solution to the problem i had for the life that i lived and i request you to do more and more.
    Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️

Thank you for this really great vid. One of my main reasons for investing in an iPad Pro is for vids like this that make my creativity in note taking feel validated, and turn in into productivity that’s actually useful. Thank you

    This video has really inspired me. I have never been the individual who tends to stick with one way of learning. For me sitting and thinking about a problem and imagining it is like carving a key slowly so that I can slowly find the answer. I remember sitting in my physics class and just thinking about the problem and the different aspects of it while my classmates just step forth into the problem. I loved the part where you showed a video of the animated cell because I watched the exact same video like 2 years ago when I was preparing for my science exam. I hope you continue to share other inspiring videos 💜

    At present, I have cleared a financial exam with low pass rates and I am going to get a distinction in my Masters degree in Computer Science. And in the process of owning my learning , I realized the immense potential that I had kept inside me unharnessed.

    You have taught me something in this video. Before I started High school I always got good grades. I never really studied and I easy understood the content. But now that I think about it; even though I got good grades I never really learned anything really. I remember parts of what I learned but I didn’t really learn it. I learned in all of my classes except history and science.
    Fast forward to when I started high school; I started to complain a lot because the teaching system and the learning system was different. And my brain and I had gotten so used to just getting good grades without trying that I started to fail. Even until now I still haven’t succeeded. I would complain about how the teachers taught; and how the information was being distributed. But now that I’ve watched your video I have realized that The problem wasn’t with the teachers but it was with the way I was learning the information. For me what I would do is the teachers would give us notes and I would just copy them them and then I never look at them ever until like we have a quiz. At my school the teachers don’t really have lectures where they talk to you and try to explain the information. The information is given to you online and it is your job to learn it and to understand it and to be prepared for a test. My whole life I only studied so I could pass; and I never really even studied a lot. But Iam not mad that I pretty much failed this year; because I now know that I need to own my learning. I should focus on understanding other than studying for the test.
    You have truly inspired me Samuel; and now it’s my turn to OWN MY LEARNING.
    Thank you 🙏🏾🙂

    Samuel, Tbh i have been watching CZcams for like 8 years but only liked about 12 videos in total including yours. The way you explained everything and how you evaluated every aspect, I couldn’t help but be amazed the whole time through out the video. Sometimes it felt like a professional iPad commercial at times. Before watching this video i thought this was gonna be another typical “ipad learning” type video. But then i was really surprised and excited when i saw that you were representing the story like a movie. Its overall really really organised and perfect video.
    I am still a student and I take notes on the ipad mini 5. But what I understood is that people don’t actually need an ipad pro or they can even roll with a sketch book or a notepad. Tools are just for helping the “learning process”. The main thing is understanding and learning how to do it and it can be done on any device or any types of physical text books.
    Thanks a lot for making this video. I am sure this video has helped a lot of persons. And I also rarely subscribe youtube channels but you have earned a sub man. Never stop making these types of videos and also I also got goosebumps at times by watching the way you expressed yourself and gave motivational speech throughout the whole video. Thanks man really appreciate your videos a lot.

      Very true but with on of my professors he did this in Macro for his definitions of terms. But he told us if there is any better way to word them and actually explain someone all that term might mean he is the first one that wants to hear it.
      Not rly as a smart ass but as in his definitions where actually very good and ditched the book fluff I learnt so much and he reinforced that we got to actually learn which meant looking dumb asking dumb questions getting lost etc and eventually you got nowhere else but to learn it right.

I’ve always been fascinated on what it would have been like to go through the education system now, with this added technology. You’ve articulated both the limited education learning process, and how to conquer it beautifully. Can see you haven’t done any videos for a while, but I hope to see more because these are a real gem 👍

    I was perusing the internet doing exactly what you spoke about - looking for ways to better study...but after watching this video, the hours that I have spent looking at someone else's version of study - I now understand on a fundamental level that I have been blindly going through the motions. Not learning - at all. I'm ashamed of myself. But no more. You've inspired me. I can't express just how much. If you wanted to touch just 1 person with your words today - don't fret - your job is done.
