Consider a truly good thing: Breakfast of champions took around three years to write from what I can find. You spent three months retyping, tracing and mounting it. Multiple years pass and your work reaches 425,000 people in 17 minutes and 24 seconds, accompanied by crucial and relevant wisdom on the creative process and act of finding one's place in the world. Assume 5% of viewers respond in a meaningful way and take this lesson into practice in their lives; 21,250 people, average age of 25 years leaving and average of 50 remaining years... You turned three months of your time into 1,062,500 years of life that is a graph-able point better than it would be otherwise. Compound this with the other dozens of past projects you share on your channel, and it should become clear. None of your work was ever a failure. It always was a life's purpose, just maybe not your life.

That's an interesting thought process, but I definitely think that 5% of viewers responding to this in a meaningful way is a huge overestimation. In reality, you're dealing with a tiny percentage of people that this video would have anything beyond a fleeting interest in it. I'm no expert, but I do have a lot of experience in dealing with analytical data in the realm of marketing. The power of it, particularly in this format, is very small beyond what this piece of content is in reality - light entertainment. If you consider the number of people that will consume this video fully, actually focus on the message , agree with it fully, remember it, and then actually take action based on it is tiny; like close to zero. At a push I would say .1% as opposed to 5%, but even that would be a stretch.

I think I would disagree with the 25 year rule, I think you should always be searching, plenty of people have "broken out" well after 40. That said, I do agree with the spirit of the advice that you should definitely put that hunt on the back-burner while you focus on the career aspect of things.

It's OK to keep searching, but I think his point was the searching should not be your primary focus through your entire 20's. You have so much energy in your 20's, at least half of it should be focused on building a career even if it's not "your thing". Maybe you eventually stumble on your thing and can switch careers but it's good to have a stable foundation by then. One thing I do see a lot of people do though, is not find their thing, put 100% of their energy into their career and forget to have a life.. They'll complain about how much they hate their well paying job (thus won't leave it), and I'll ask "So what would you rather be doing right now?" and they often can't give me an answer. If your career isn't your thing, then you should at *least* have interests, hobbies, or social activities which at any given moment you can say you'd rather be doing than working. If you don't have that, then find it. Otherwise you'll work till retirement age, retire, and be totally lost.

I turn 25 in 6 months. I had spent the bulk of my efforts in college convincing myself that I was to become a physician. Right before graduating with seperate degrees in biology and exercise science, i started making a short film about professional track and field. After graduating, I effectively drained my life savings investing into this project until it became a feature length documentary that releases this summer. I came to understand in the past year of working on this film that I would never be granted the freedoms in life to attempt such a granduous thing ever again. I have not "made it" yet and I am unsure if i ever will by my own standards, but I do have people's attention and I know it is now or never. The real world will still be there when I am done trying; it will still be there after I succeed. The real world will still be there when I am done trying; the option to try will not. So, for now, I will try. Thank you, Van.

I wanted to mention I agree with you on the “energy availability” of your 20’s Van. As someone who just turned 30, I have firsthand seen my energy and progress go down. The time I do commit to things is way more valuable. What I think that what you have, and myself more and more, is the perspective that comes from vision. A vision for the projects you do attempt. A vision for your life and family. You trade energy for vision, its like the handshake exchange from your 20’s to 30’s. If you can get ANY hard-skills or find your passion young you will be in great shape!!

24 years old. Still don't know my purpose. I like to make videos, but I haven't put enough effort into them and I'm honestly a private person so I don't want to post my life on here. I used to think my purpose was to travel, turns out it's not. I bought a van and sold it. Living on the road full time isn't for me. I like living in one place. I changed and I will continue to change. Maybe I will find a new thing later in life. Closest things I have to a singular thing now is either photography or running. Currently attending a community college going for a computer science associates degree. Probably will end up going down that route career wise until I find something that I'm passionate about (and can pay well.) Anyways, not a great writer, but I don't think life is over at 25.

I would say that maybe it wasn't a failure, maybe it was a success because it made you realise what you were truly meant to do? Maybe if you hadn't deviated from your path you wouldn't be where you are now? Sometimes it take a long time to realise why something has happened...then 10 years later it clicks and all makes sense...I would also like to add that I think one of the most important lessons in this video is attention to detail (and all of your other videos), the effort you went into making 5 separate videos to send to the galleries (can't believe only one got back!) and majority of people can't tailor their CV to send for jobs stands out to me.

Great video Van and I love the artwork. Art like this that requires hours of mind numbing repetition is fascinating. As someone who has had his life sidelined by mental health problems several times I feel like the 25 year old thing is not great advice for all people. I think advice of this sort should be highly individualized. But staying with something you are good at even if you feel over it has a lot of merit. And some times not necessarily changing what you do is needed but what you are doing with what you do is the change that is needed.

The truth is that I have always admired the way you see the world and the way you create stories around everything that happens in your life. You and your brother have been a great influence on many, including me. But seeing this video, I disagree with some of what you say. I understand what you are trying to communicate to young people, about not wasting their 20's, but being a person of almost 40 years, I can tell you that until I was 35 years old I discovered my purpose in life and I think there are many people who are even older and they end up finding it very late in their lives. We don't have all the time in the world, but we have what we have left to keep looking, I think.

I graduated from med school at 22, hated every second of it. After nearly a decade, I landed an internship at a Venture Capital firm and now I'm in the VC space. I don't love it, I'm good at it, yet thank God I don't hate it. What I learned from my journey is that I'm not a careerist, that i work to live and don't live to work, and that my Life purpose/objective is not related to my professional trajectory. Each of us are on their own journey. The advice I'll give to a person in their early 20s is to face their demons and any childhood issues to the best of their abilities so it doesn't hinder their growth. I hope you find your way home

Im 21 and ive always wanted to be very wealthy. Since a very young age I loved expensive things like cars, luxury brands, watches, etc. Im a junior engineer major and my plan is to never use this degree. Everyone says im wasting my time if I dont want to persue a career in my degree but my parents never finished college and I decided a hard major would be fun F.U to everyone saying im doing things wrong. Currently I got a sweet full time job as a paralegal and marketer for lawfirms and medical facilities which is paying as much as an engineer would make 2 years into his career. I believe if you open yourself to options and just go with what your heart desires youll find your place.
