Totally useless man. I need to get off the hole, an ukelele or a doorstop won’t help
“Increase your sexual market value”. I must use this. 🤣😂🤣
I like your keyboard
There are so many things in your videos that I can connect with me and I feel smarter about myself. haha
It’s great that you continuously work to boost motivation. Heartfelt appreciation!!
You should read Quran-e-Kareem before going to sleep. Better than reading anything on kindle no matter how good the content is…
I am so impressed with that clean clear note taking….you have a very clear mind…thanks Ali..
I LOVE ALL OF IT (esp. the ukulele)
Hold my miswak…
For my brother it was a glock
Well. He made up all those 9 items in the list just to talk about the first 1, Skill Share. Who very "kindly" sponsored the video.
I’m losing trust on all such people, making up videos just for the sake of promotions.
Trusty ukulele 😌 😂😂
I think he is a fake doctor….. All the doctors in my country have such a bad hand writing. 😅😅
I thought having bad handwriting is a very doctor thing until I saw your notes
doesnt the kindle emit blue light
waterbottle
I finally understood this video was sponsored by #SkillShare. Lol :). loved your all content. thank you.
Can you please share your note taking and mind mapping procedures?
Why would you get kindle when you can get kindle app on your phone?
With all your posts about how you’ve improved your life, your life must be absolutely spectacular. But I notice you spend a lot of time making videos for you tube. What an absolute waste of life.
I ain’t gonna lie I am in love with your channel
🌸Hi Ali, Really enjoy your YouTube channel. I just purchased an electric toothbrush as well. Please know that you should not brush as you would manually, but let the round brush do its work when you deposit the brush on your teeth. Got this info/training from the dental technician. Have a great day!
