I'm studying a speaking video on YouTube №1

 How to know your life purpose in 5 minutes | Adam Leipzig | TEDxMalibu

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to know what is said in the comment TheAussieSpy's.

OK let me begin by saying this video has a purpose and I'm going to explain it to you, but first I need to clarify some things.

let me begin by saying - позвольте мне прежде всего сказать
this video has a purpose - у этого видео есть цель
I'm going to explain it to you - Я собираюсь объяснить это тебе
but first I need to clarify some things - но сначала мне нужно кое-что прояснить

A few years ago I was a lazy teenager who spent his time; lying on the lounge, playing video games, either eating junk or not eating at all, I had a number of extremely embarrassing medical conditions and no social life outside the few friends I occasionally talked to in real life. 

A few years ago I was a lazy teenager who spent his time - Несколько лет назад я был ленивым тинейджером кто тратил своё время
lying on the lounge - лежа в гостиной 
playing video games - играя в видео игры
either eating junk or not eating at all - либо ешь вредную еду или не ешь вообще
a number of - несколько
I had a number of extremely embarrassing medical conditions -
У меня было несколько очень неприятных заболеваний ???
no social life outside the few friends - не было общественной жизни, кроме нескольких друзей.

If any of this sounds familiar then let me start of by telling you that there are thousands, even millions of people who are in the same situation, however not all of them are in the same mindset as you. 

If any of this sounds familiar then let me start of by telling you that there are thousands - Если что-то из этого звучит знакомо, то позвольте мне начать с того, что скажу вам, что их тысячи
sounds familiar - звучит знакомо
start of by telling - начать с того
even millions of people who are in the same situation - даже миллионы людей, которые находятся в такой же ситуации
the same situation - той же ситуации
however not all of them are in the same mindset as you - однако не все из них придерживаются того же мышления, что и вы. 
as you - как вы

Many people continue their lives sitting on their ass, doing nothing, not enjoying life and are using video games, movies books etc to either hide their insecurities or just escape from reality. 

Многие люди продолжают свою жизнь, сидя на заднице, ничего не делая, не наслаждаясь жизнью, и используют видеоигры, фильмы, книги и т.д., Чтобы либо скрыть свою неуверенность, либо просто убежать от реальности.

Now don't get me wrong, you are clearly an intelligent person if you are looking at videos like this, there is clearly something inside you that wants to succeed or "Break free". 

don't get me wrong - не пойми меня неправильно
"Break free" - освободиться
Теперь не поймите меня неправильно, вы явно умный человек, если вы смотрите такие видео, как это, внутри вас явно есть что-то, что хочет добиться успеха или "Вырваться на свободу".

Now for all of you who are complaining about the videos impact on you, your social anxiety or the lack of purpose isn't the reason it didn't work. 

for all of you - для всех вас
it didn't work -  это не сработало.
Теперь для всех вас, кто жалуется на влияние видео на вас, вашу социальную тревогу или отсутствие цели не являются причиной того, что это не сработало.

The real reason is fear. 

Настоящая причина-страх.

Now this could mean you are afraid of a few things: Failure, People not liking you, Dying alone, Being unhappy, Not earning enough money and many others. 

could mean - может означать
Сейчас это может означать, что вы боитесь нескольких вещей: неудач, Людям ты не нравишьсям, Умираете в одиночестве, несчастливы, Не зарабатываете достаточно денег и многих других.
 

However the thing is all these fears have been brought on by one person in the past (No not the same person for all of them), these thoughts all began as one person saying them as a fact and everyone else believing him (or her).

for all of them - для всех них
Однако дело в том, что все эти страхи были вызваны одним человеком в прошлом (Нет, не один и тот же человек для всех), все эти мысли начались с того, что один человек сказал их как факт, а все остальные поверили ему (или ей).


They are all universal fears promoted by society and social media and are forced upon us at a young age, we are practically conditioned to fail. 

forced upon - навязывать
Все это универсальные страхи, пропагандируемые обществом и социальными сетями и навязываемые нам в юном возрасте, мы практически обречены на неудачу.
 

Some people like you and me however have the ability to  break free of this conditioning, you are probably wondering how I know this and I'll quickly explain how: By forcing yourself through this paragraph it shows you are determined to find a way out of your current life and find your purpose, something that most people don't have the mental strength to do. 

probably wondering - наверное, думаете
like you and me -  как ты и я.
Некоторые люди, такие как вы и я, однако, обладают способностью освободиться от этой обусловленности, вам, вероятно, интересно, откуда я это знаю, и я быстро объясню, как:  Заставляя себя читать этот абзац, вы показываете, что полны решимости найти выход из своей нынешней жизни и найти свою цель, на что у большинства людей не хватает психологических (умственных) сил.
 

Anyway back to the wall of text. 

В любом случае вернёмся к повествованию.

Let me tell you a story about my good friend, for confidentiality sake he will be referred to as L. 

 Давайте я расскажу вам историю о моём хорошем друге, ради конфеденциальности он будет называться L.

Now L was in a similar state to me, no confidence, little to no friends, unhappy with his appearance, thought no one will ever date him, heck he only had his first kiss this year. 

Сейчас L в схожем со мной состоянии, не уверенность, мало или совсем нет друзей, несчастлив своим внешним видом, думал , что никто никогда не будет с ним встречаться, чёрт от только смог первый раз поцеловаться только в этом году.

Now his biggest issue was he wasn't confident in himself, he was afraid to show what he was passionate about because he didn't want people judging him for it. 

Сейчас его  самая большая проблема он не уверен в себе, он боится показать что он был увлечён

One day I was at his house when he asked me "Hey J, how do you talk to people you've never met before like that, how are you so confident?" and that's when it clicked in him, that's when he began asking questions, he wanted to find happiness, so I helped him find it, some peoples passion is music or art, his was  helping others, so I asked him.
"What makes you happy?"
As I expected he replied with helping others, I then asked him:
"Where do you feel in control the most?"
He replied with the same answer. I proceeded to ask him a line of questions such as:
"Where are you most comfortable?"
and
"What is success to you?"
 he replied with a similar answer each time. I told him to picture himself helping someone each time he approaches them he said it sounded hard and that he was afraid something bad might happen, I then told him to tell me his life purpose, he immediately was confused as you probably are after watching this video, I repeated the question once again, He responded with "I don't know, to be successful I guess?" I said so whats your life goal? He told me to be rich, i asked him why, he said because its what makes you happy. He didn't realize that he knew his purpose due to the fact that he was conditioned to be successful by everyone else standard, anyway he now has a beautiful girlfriend and is living in a small home living with his cat, to most this doesn't sound like much but to him, life is perfect, he is happy and free he was able to break free of this ,conditioning, Now, YOU need to be able to find what is holding you back, find the thing that is stopping you from finding happiness NOONE ELSE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU. Usually its the fear of being judged, The thing we fear being judged about the most is the thing that will make us the happiest. However to defeat this fear we must first find the thing we are most afraid of, being judged about the thing that will make us happy. And that is the purpose of this video: To find that thing. The thing that you are best at, the thing that will truly make you happy is the thing you are most afraid of publicly talking about, that one thing that you know you are great at deep down but are too afraid to follow it. The reason this video didn't work is because you already know your purpose, you know how to make yourself happy, you know your purpose, you just need to get out there and chase it and don't quit until you've caught it. If you made it this far you should pat yourself on the back, you persevered when most people wouldn't have even clicked "read more". You are one of the very few who are willing to do what it takes to be happy, to succeed. I wan't you to do a small task, it will take less time than it does to finish a standard netflix episode: Once every day I want you to either write down, or speak out loud the sentence: My name is _____ and my purpose is _______. After that if you wan't you can practice the skills required to achieve this purpose. Thank you for reading, good luck in all your future endeavors, I personally believe in you and you should too.
TLDR: If you skipped to the bottom for an easy way out, then you should either A. Read this paragraph or B. Miss out on information less than 2% of the population are willing to understand.

Hobby

I'm a good chess player. My FIDE rating is 2054. My blitz rating is lower because I like to think about moves for a long time. (I like to think about moves for a long time, and therefore I play blitz  worse.)
