There is NO place for racism in our world and we should all respect each other no matter our background, faith, and especially no matter the colour of our skin.
Let’s build our generation as one that treats EVERYONE as equal and provides equal opportunities for every human. Because we are all HUMAN. Underneath our skin we all have the exact same set of muscles, the same blood running through our veins, and we breathe the exact same air.
There’s an overwhelming amount of resources online that can help you start uncomfortable conversations about race with those surrounding you if they need to hear it.
It all starts with a conversation.

Well done!
Keep it up boy

Same here
You’ll be a better doctor for doing the USMLE book wherever you end up working!! Well done broski
That Medic you’re also a legend for that 100km bike ride innit. Also, grats @kharmamedic, I go crazy with just my medical school content. You’re an absolute icon for doing that USMLE book AND pathoma
Thanks Mo! Yeah its been a great way to get my fundamentals down strong 💪🏻
So true
@@KharmaMedic We need that exercise video what exercise you are doing🤣
This is absolutely amazing am so proud of you, I started watching pathos but am not done, am really inspired to keep fighting and building myself for the doctor I am to become.
Man, so so happy for you. A true inspiration. You are so amazing that I watch all of your videos to the last second though I am in Engineering. Bless you ❤️
Nasir, this is amazing and very helpful. even though im no where near being a medical student, i feel very positive and motivated from you. i appreciate everything you do for this channel. keep doing ur best dude :)
I love your energy and positivism! It's great to know that there are also students who balance their study with social life😍 greetings from the Dominican Republic
I follow you from Palestine, I am completely in love with all the videos you make. I want to thank you from my heart for providing me with a lot of strength in my studies.
.شكراً ناصر كثير بتمنى الك كل النجاح والتوفيق 💖
Omg that’s amazing! Your block study times are really a new perspective of how to study that I haven’t seen before and I think I definitely will be adopting my own version of this! Love ur channel!
Well done mate, I saw my friend going through his prep for Step 1 and it looked BRUTAL. Max respect for anyone taking this exam on!
Brutal is absolutely right my friend!
your videos are so clear and helpful!! thank you for making these videos even in your busiest/stressful times! love them.
Hey nasir! Thanks for being an inspiration for all aspiring med students. Hope u achieve all your dreams in life! Much love from Philippines 🇵🇭.
I really take a big advantage of your videos and your vibes for my life. Just want to say thank you kid!
Hi Nasir! Congratulations on completing your first pass bro. I’ve been studying for step 1 for a while now, and it’s been tough doing it in isolation. But your videos have been really inspiring and have been helping me to stay motivated and crank out these last couple months of studying, especially after my exam got cancelled twice due to COVID.
Thank you brother. I never miss your videos, you're my inspiration. I'm also preparing USMLE with these two books. Thanks again 👏
I am also in my second phase of USMLE STEP 1. Your videos always push me to study more, when I am feeling down. Thank you!
You’re so great man just hearing you talk boosts my motivation like nothing else!
Hey man, thanks for this channel. I switched from paper to IPad after watching you study and I don't think I am ever going back. It hasn't been stated much but the fact that the process of studying and note taking gets so much easier with your iPad being your centralized note storage helps with getting into the groove of studying. At least it did for me.
Also, the level of detail when it comes to studying in your study videos makes one appreciate the full process that's calling studying. For people who didn't study much, your videos must have helped make the process less abstract and something one would be willing to undertake.
And finally, I have noticed that your description includes current events and you even encourage your viewers to spend their time getting informed instead of watching your videos. You're a good man!
Thanks a lot again :) Big fan of your work!
Love the channel Nasir! Greetings from a 5th year medical student in your home country Jordan 🇯🇴♥️ stay safe brother 🙌🏼
Your revision timetable has officially changed my life. I’m a Student Midwife and this quarantine life has got me feeling so lazy and not motivated to study. Love your videos! Keep them coming ❤️❤️
Your true dedication toward studies really inspires me a lot.......... though I am not a medical student but all ur videos r really motivating brother especially for students who r preparing for competitive exams . And I really love ur perfection and time management skills. 🤗👍👍👍👍👌✌
Thank you for all the USMLE/ studying content, so so helpful and really motivational 🥺❤️
This is really motivational, well done dude, you’re doing amazing 👌🏿

I just found out about your channel about 5 days ago and I'm really motivated to study since then!💯👍
Omg! I have just found your channel and I have learned so much. Will definitely try the 4 hour block method as I have never liked the Pomodoro. Keep up the great work!
you are really motivating me to start studying for the USMLE exam keep up the good work ... good luck
Hey Nasir! Although I am not pursuing a career in the medical field. Your channel and productivity techniques are truly inspiring to me, I have integrated some of your productivity techniques into my studying routine and I have experienced more excitement while studying now than I normally would with my former customs. Thank you for everything! Congratulations on your most recent accomplishment: USMLE Step 1 Exam!
Love the way you says

Easter eggs for the most dedicated viewers
Hey bro, it helps a lot as a med student to see your USMLE journey in reality and your methods to study are amazing. Hope your hardwork pays off!
proud of you Nasir!!! and thanks for all the study vids, they really helped me with my revision :)
Here, my brother has come again. 😍
My one of the inspirations of study.
You're a big inspiration and role model to many people out there!!!thanks😊
You motivate me so much💕 All the best for your exam. You're gonna make it.
Even though you’re younger than me, I always look up to you for that extra ‘dose’ of motivation Nasir :)
I am studying for my post graduation entrance exam for dental post graduation in india and i have to study 5 year of undergrad ie 19 subjects.
So your videos are a great help. Keep it up!
I always get so motivated to study after seeing your videos. Thank you for helping me 😊❤️.
Your hair is amazing, your videos are wonderful and you personality is sooo inspiring.
Luv u💜
Discovered your channel a week ago and I've never been so motivated to study!!
Looooooove you and your channel so much💕😊
P.S your hair looks really cool;)
That's really great to hear! welcome to the channel :)
@@KharmaMedic OH.MY.GOD I cant believe you replied!!
your weekly videos motivate me to do well in school. THANK YOU NASIR
Hey man, congratulations on what you've done so far, you'll be able to achieve your goals. Keep it up. From your Brazilian friend ✌️
You are such an inspiration! Have been following your channel throughout my med application and will be starting soon this Sept at a graduate student. The idea of practicing in the US came into my head very recently but the USMLE/ getting residency of choice just looks like this huge mountain that I have no idea how to climb. Especially as a graduate, the idea of potentially delaying another 1/2yrs after graduating med school to get into the US just seems scary. Your videos are amazing. Best of luck with everything :)
Nasir, please make a video on "How to annotate FA?". It'll be of great use to USMLE aspirants
Hritvik Jain__35 I want this too!!
It’s so inspirational bro it motivated me so much (lots of love love good bless you bro ) have a great day
I have always enjoyed your videos and contents. You are an inspiration for productivity, keep on the good work and congrats on your accomplishments.
I always watch one video of yours daily before studying
Idk why but i feel motivated😊😁
Wish you all the best In life✊👍
The way you explain every bit of information 😍
Your videos provide more motivation to study for extra hours of studying,thank you for those videos
I like this video very much. The idea of steps 1,2, 3, 4 is really helping me. Now I am studying for an exam without a curriculum. I felt lost and frustrated all the time. Thanks for sharing. I hope I can study well in the next 5 months.
Thanks a ton for motivating us all Nasir
impeccable video editing and always very inspiring! I'm already a fan! 🤩🤩
I loveee the new intro with the doggie :) 🐶 🐕 and I also admire your consistency and drive on prepping for the USMLE and I hope I can be as consistent with my CZcams channel and studies too :) I’m gonna be a medical student this fall :)
I don’t know how and why I found you only a couple of days ago, but THANK YOU. In the past two days I went through all your real time study with me-s, they help soo much😊 the motivation to get my degree this month is strong😄😄 thank you again☺️
welcome to my channel :)
Very efficient! A plan that not only is well thought out but manageable consistently. Thank you for sharing what works for you. I will definitely implement some of your detailed timed daily study schedules into my plans. A realization - It helps to set aside 1-2 hours daily to prepare for the certification exam while I complete my final months of studies. I originally had a plan to focus on my current studies and dedicating one month to reviewing for the big exam.
Well done, the route we are going through is quite similar. Let's struggle through this together!
Thank you so much for doing the four hours studying video it really gave me inspiration ... Like I was studying but I didnt know why I'm taking a lot of time to finish the things that I want to do but then after watching that video I knew that it was because I'm talking a lot of short breaks during my studying time so every time I go back to study I talk a lot of time to get back to the study mood . Imuch thanks 🌼
every morning I watch this video it makes me motivated you inspire me 😍
Sketchy videos are soo so helpful.! I would’ve never been able to retain pharma if it weren’t for the videos
Good job, you honestly really inspire me to work harder every day
God bless you for your hard work. You’ll indeed be a very dedicated doctor. 💛
I’m so glad this came in my recommendations. ♥️
You're my greatest motivation !! Best of luck!
thanks a lot for motivating us by your productive and energetic
videos
Dedicated doesn't even begin to describe what you are. That study schedule alone!! Thanks for the upload, I'm always left inspired to go and do better x
I love your passion! Congratulations 🎉
what a calm and controlled voice!
Such an inspiration. I’m following your UCAT videos to hopefully do my UCAT this year to apply for medicine this October. Hoping I can be where you are x
good luck!
I can really tell your hair has grown out so much! Also please make a video talking about your study routine when you were in highschool! Im so curious how your study routine came to be!! Thankyou so much for another inspiration video :P
Wow just knowing that I will have to the same in a couple of years, it overwhelms me ahaha . I wish you the best on your journey 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hey Nasir! I am not a med student, but I really want to go into the medical field in the future and you have really inspired me to go forward with that! Thanks!
Hey, I'm a second year med student in Taiwan, just wanna thankyou for this video, it really calmed my nerve knowing that I'm not the only one who faced the ridiculous amount of books and knowledge for USMLE and panicked, I feel much more steady after watching your video and I'm pretty confident with my schedule and path to take the exam on next september, I don't feel anxious and stressed out anymore, thanks a lot.
I tried your 4 hour block method and it really freed up so much time for me to do other things! Please make more Step 1 videos and please share your full 6-9 month Step 1 study schedule.
So inspiring!!! Keep up the good work!
It's been a long I'm watching your videos...kind of content that you created and i personally experienced about watching your videos is that..it keep me alert..i just can't want to miss any part if is missed i go back and see it...😅 But really enjoying and obviously the information, inspiration is always there....thank you fr being there..sirr.👌👏
Great video! So many jewels here.
You gave me the idea to also purchase a standing desk!! Hopefully it’ll help in maintaining productivity since I’ll be a bit more comfortable as well. Thank you so much for sharing!! 😇
Yay, congrats! I feel that burn-out, I take Step 1 at the end of August. But all this effort and studying will pay off!! Good luck dude :)
I really love your videos you really are the best I wish you all the best 👍🏼
