I'm sure everyone is aware of the beliefs society places on them. Its hard to change. This isn't easy to do... If it were no one would have negative self beliefs, society would move foward a lot quicker.
This is a good video. But he isn't teaching anyone how to change. Same old inspirational video, tell people if they change life, it will be better.
