    Omg hi, Ali! your methods have helped me so much, I was a person who couldn't even focus for 5 minutes but after watching this video I have been able to sit down and focus while studying for more than 2 hours. I love your videos, they're very inspiring. I think more young souls should watch these types of videos instead of spending time on their phones, and social media, and playing games. I thank you from the bottom of my heart as this video and more videos and a lot of videos that you have uploaded have been very helpful.
    with love, I hope your channel grows more and more and more and more I cannot thank you enough. I love how simplified your videos are about things people should know also I took you SkillShare class and it has helped me pretty good but I felt like I was in the class, it was very exciting experience for me to learn from a very experienced person like you.
    again, I cannot thank you enough i wish i could but i cannot because my heart's a mess and whenever someone is so good at doing something i can only wish the best for them.
    with love.
