Casey Neistat,
youtuber, vlogger, film maker is changing the world in a different way that you
can never imagine of.
Casey Neistat
vlogged daily in Youtube for about 2 and half year. He has his youtube channel
named 'Casey Neistat' which has about 11 million subscribers. Not only that he
has made a lots of promotional videos for giant companies like Nike, J crew,
Samsung etc. He is currently living in Los Angeles with his wife and daughters.
If we see the
current Youtube influencers we do not get any message what so ever from them.
For instance the Logan brothers, they are showing their crazy lifestyle and
they are portraying themselves as a inborn talent who didn't have to work hard
to achieve anything. Not only that we do not see inspiring content from most of
Youtube influencers, Pewdiepie he is busy doing his meme review, KSI he is busy running up buildings, they are
all busy fulfilling the imaginary fantasy of the people. People will once watch
the video and gone, they will not take it seriously (except the Jungle video of
Logan paul). Where is seriousness in Youtube? I see only one man who talks the
real thing. Casey Neistat.
In his vlog, he
constantly show the difficulties one has to face in life to achieve something.
Being a teenage dad with no money the works that he had to do to get food for
himself and his son, how difficult it was living in New York, his sacrifice to
get a job where he could shoot using camera. If the influencers only show the
end result i.e their success but do not show the work needed for it, it gives
the impression to the audience that success is easy and they neglect the hard
work. Moreover, if only the end result is glorified extremely and vaguely, the
rate of anxiety and depression will start mounting because the audience won't
get the success as easy and fast like being said by the other influencers and
they start believing that there is something wrong in them but in reality it is
the falsification of success by Paul brothers. But Casey shows the hard work
and sacrifice. From being a teenage dad to a millionaire he tells us about the
devotion and focus required to achieve something. He is showing the gap between
one's present state and the ideal state that he wants to be. He completely
denies that talents are born but he believes talent is harvested. He has
tattooed "Work hard" and "Do more" on his hands. He says
nothing can be done right at start, you need to keep on doing the work then you
will start getting the audience. That’s when you know you are doing it right,
till then you need to keep on working different things to get the audience.
There is also an
interesting way he talks about the Excuses. He says there are couple of
obstructions between us and our dream and the reason why we are not achieving
our dream is because we are making those obstruction as the Excuses. He
explains it better than me. Watch the video down below.
At last, if we are
loving the process of achieving something we will be long standing and enduring
and that is what Casey promotes, to love the process not glorify the end
result. Which is inspiring the youths to start taking actions. That is how
Casey is changing the world.
