I passed my A+ yesterday, at 55 years old, target is Cyber security , now studying Networking+, and in my free time i ve been studying Linux, and Python. Your video was very inspirational. Thank you.

Great video, trading come with a lot of benefits And I have just bought my first house through it. As a beginner I was scared of loosing my savings but I’m glad I took the bold step that is now favoring me.

I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?

We love your videos David, please keep rocking it!!!

I have no words to describe how I feel confident with the encouragement that you create. It's good to have you, Sir.😊

I was a construction worker/ fabricator a bit over two years ago. In 21 I learned full stack web development. This dudes on point you do not have to stay the same

As an older individual, rekindling my love for computers and technology, I can’t thank David enough for this type of content and his wonderful channel.

You are my motivation ! Because of you , i jumped from Security Officer to NOC technician . Thanks David !

I wish i could "like" this video times a million. A lot of the information presented by David in this video could apply to anyone, not just technology folks. Truly inspirational! I have been watching David's videos since 2016ish. He put out content freely to truly help anyone for free. He doesn't know it but he has helped me grow in my career 100 fold. Thanks David!!!

Great content. Really appreciate stirring me into the right path. Been racking up mind for two other skills to add up to being an upcoming cybersecurity professional. And I could say AI/ Machine Learning, blockchain and mastering my Linux could really be a game changer. Big ups for the inspiration as well

I absolutely agree ! Love your message so inspiring

Thank you so much for this video, it was truly amazing. I have been studying data science since last one year which included python, machine learning, AI and many visualization tools. It has really changed my perspective about my career focus. I was an engineer working into hardcore telecom field but the vastness and importance these skills have seems to have opened up a lot of options infront of me. Also being in my late 20s I feel like during my data science study sessions I was able to rekindle with the lost studying etiquettes that I had when I was in high school or college. Its not easy to sit and study again with full focus when you are grown up. Recently got a job as a data scientist and here on I wise to keep learning and mastering my machine learning skills while also developing AI skills to which m still a toddler right now. Thanks again for the video, you got a new sub!

This channel distinguishes itself from the common Clip-Share tech themes. The messages in this particular video on self reliance, time management, and efficient productivity, are crucial accompaniments to the tech topics discussed.
I wish I had access to this sort of info sharing 30 years ago - and I hope I would have been wise enough to have listened.

Thank you so much David! The only show I watch and advocate is Mr. Robot! After doing my annual rewatch because I love it so much I’ve recently started diving into learning about tech again. I don’t know what killed it for me but since I was 6 years old I was messing around with computers because my family members and relatives who were much older trickled all that stuff down into me. I can’t believe I gave up on it when I got to the middle of highschool. I’m 23 years old now and still fortunate to be young. I like how you’ve rekindled everyone’s passions for technology. There’s no better time to get started than now! Yeah if I kept up with these skills since a young age I’d be somewhat proficient, but doesn’t mean I can’t start again 23!

thank you for all the wonderful content David. can't thank you enough for all the insightful information you've provided over the years

I really love this video and I appreciate the effort you put in to share those important values that someone must pursue in 2023. I am very passionate about helping a lot of American teenagers and young adults with the importance of finding purpose early in life and you just gave me some of the topics to share on my podcast. I look forward to keeping learning from you.

This video is extremely informative and insightful! I appreciate the emphasis on developing soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving, in addition to technical skills. These skills will be crucial for success in the rapidly changing world of 2023 and beyond. It's also great to see the emphasis on learning and adaptability as key skills for future success. I will definitely be incorporating these skills into my own personal and professional development goals. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!

Damn! I stambled on this video at the right time I must say. Thank you sir. Just know that you are impacting people like me across the globe.

Thank you David for your unvaluable videos you are sharing for us. I have started my career in IT After Purchasing your CCNA course on Udemy. I have CCNA now and I almost finished learning Linux basics. I am going to learn cloud computing and Dockers in 2023. When I feel boring about learning always your videos give me inspiration. Thank you very much.

Thanks David, last year you introduced me to AWS, now I'm a Certified Solutions Architect, can't wait to learn a new skill this year.

David, these are incredibly WISE words! How does a 53yo like myself even get started, or is it way too late? I started out very interested in web dev, although cyber security seems interesting, but way more difficult than learning html, css and javascript. Appreciate any advice... Thank you David, for the valuable free content you put out!👊🏽

I started learning AI & data science and Python at 48, and now I am 54 and think I’m really good at it. This year I will focus on VR/ AR/ MR, different kinds of reality, and crossover with AI.

Actually reading through Atomic habits currently, and it's such a solid book. Totally gives you a different perspective on how to view good/bad habits and how to go about making changes in your life

Thank you so much for this video. I am in my 50s and just learning how to code with a bootcamp. I doing full stack and it’s really overwhelming for me. But your video really encourages me. By the way I have first degree in Accounting from Africa and trying to change career. I don’t want to give up. I want to keep practicing even though it’s really difficult for me. Like you said I cannot learn all. It will take time and I know I will get there as long as I keep practicing. Thanks brother.

You are an awesome guy, truly motivating, thank you David! I’m in my 40, also CCIE for 10+ years and currently in the transformation to a Full Stack Developer. Learning is the key!

Gracias David!! Excelente video. Llevo 7 años en el área de Networking y Security soy CCNP. Desde 2022 vengo enfocado en Python y Linux.

Having just started learning python a few weeks ago this video has given me more strength & enlightenment to push on & be a better person.
Thank you so much, you just got yourself a new subscriber

My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in the US.

Super helpful content, well structured, plus the energy is so positive - I love it

David Bombal..Great job explaining a couple hard truths about our career in tech. Good to remind us a couple things that we need to focus on and the new trends. You are very inspirational..Good job!

I just love the positive message you send David in addition to all the FREE tutorials and advice. You are a gem my friend Cheers!!! I agree with you AI is where the largest growth I see. I am excited about those tutorials you will be putting forth in that regard. In my free time outside of work and developing new Reverse Engineering tutorials, I am learning TensorFlow as well.

Thank you David for this video, I also agree with your 6 areas as an MCT with 33 years of experience. I myself will go back to basics in Coding as I want to Master AI and ML too... All the best for 2023 to you, family, and friends from me in South Africa. Loved your interviews with Dr. Chuck and Ivan as well, spot on. I myself would like to see people empowered with IT without money as a barrier to entry. In May I would have been and IT Lecturer and Trainer for 34 years, love the potential that IT gives us as Humanity.

Thanks David for the useful advice! That's very true. It would be even nicer if you could introduce key references for each topic.

Wish you, everyone, the best in 2023. It is always rewarding to learn something new on any field of knowlege or profession. Thanks David for sharing valuable information.

I found the content very useful, informative and well-researched, and it provides a good starting point for anyone who's looking to improve their skills in the future. The video is a great way to start thinking about your own professional development for the coming year and to take action on it.

Thank you David, this video is really inspiring to me. I have been wasting my time and stopped learning in my job over the past 3 years and Now , I suddenly realize that I have a future and need to learn something new everyday and improve myself. I promised myself that I will keep learning and improving to get some achievements in my career.

This video inspired me to keep improving a little everyday. Thank you, Sir!

Watching this video already feels like I have learned a skill or two, and yes I'm going to learn some of those skills this year. I must learn them!
Thank you

Thanks David! This video really inspired me. I actually wanted to ask if web development will stay in the upcoming years, because I'm currently learning web development, I finished the basics of HTML and I'm now in CSS.

Started my career switch to tech 2 years ago and I am still building skills .Time management is the key because learning resources are available in abundance on Clip-Share and other online platforms. Thanks for the motivation

Thanks David for posting such an informative video. This gives a fresh perspective to plan out our learning path for the year.

Very inspiring. David, I appreciate your work and in the short amount of time that I have discovered your channel you have already changed little aspects of my life for the better. Thanks and keep up the great work you do.

I’m very interested in taking the year and studying the implementation of cloud computing with AI and Machine Learning. I’m fortunate enough to be able to use cloud technologies in my day-to-day and am looking into maybe specializing in cloud.
Thanks for all of the content, David!

This is probably your most valuable video and has caused some of the best minutes I have spent on Clip-Share.

Love this, most brillant youtuber, inspiring. Always hitting the spot for me as I'm rerouting from not much in 50 years and trying to spin it all around.

I first heard of Bob proctor, soon I was willingly changing my mind thanks to others such as tony robins, bryan tracy, napoleon hill books... having someone in the tech field motivating in the tech field is great... I highly appreciate this kind of material... most focus on the technical part... but that's the easy part... discipline and mindset is the hardest daily task. thanks again

You've given me a complete blueprint and I will do exactly what you said starting from today and keep you updated how much I have learnt

Thank you for all the advices you have offered to us ... And the most important the motivation 🙏

I officially got into "tech" ~5 years ago. First job I learned a lot of basics, jack of all trades type of situation. I only got into a larger networking job the past 3 - one thing I noticed is the CLI is only ever used for ad-hoc maintenance or traffic engineering. Most of the basic architectures are now deployed using YAML, Jinja, and Python. A lot of programmatic concepts and pipelines are used now, and the need for skills with Linux is growing. Linux is by far the greatest toolset I've learned, it's helped me understand networking better, it's helped me understand systems better. The amount of times I use common Linux tools on our config repo to bulk-audit and edit is more often than I think I do full configurations from scratch.

Thank you so much David for your enthusiastic thoughts. It will definitely help people like me. I liked and subscribed and I don't want to miss your videos.

Really inspiring and motivating speech - thank you, David 🙏🏽

Excellent content as usual for professionals and great mentor 🙏🤗

David I'm so happy I found your channel. It's crazy because I found your channel doing what you are talking about. Learning new things everyday.

Such an useful motivational info for those who understand it's importance!
Wishing you all the best as well cheers mate!

Thanks David. Im chasing the Data Science track and hoping to be in a competitive position by summer then start looking into changing careers. Very inspirational thank you again.

I just happen to come across your video and being over 50 myself- I love learning and never plan to quit - I’m in the healing business but loving chat gpt and found you inspiring and refreshing 💪👍🙏

Thank you David, for a very motivational video. I’m capable of many things however I doubt myself sometimes and this works against me.

Your work and advice are highly appreciated, David!

Superb channel. I'm actually in the beginning of my programming journey to AI. I find your content very helpful and made just in the right time for me.

Thanks a lot, David, very inspirational! I think one of the coolest and hottest topics in networking is ML-based Network Automation, DevNet for instance could be a good start. Since everything is moving towards autonomy right now, getting proficient in ML and its application to Network and Process Automation, is the future. And yes, it involves everything: Linux, Python, MLOps, Data engineering, Virtualization, and Cloud development.

Like always extremely useful and meaningful content.
Thank you for the motivation David.

I love this session. Very good video for those who want to develop a good skill.

Thank you for Guiding us David. Its an eye opener and great content. Agree on the networking is not that high growth. Keep on Learning this 2023!

I found David's channel in Odysee, is pure gold, and now this? Just incredibly accurate, many thanks David, I have been able to clarify more and more how I want to reroute my life because of your videos!

David you are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing all this info with us!😊

Hey David, you don't believe how much I needed to hear these words, I dropped out from college this year to follow my passion, my parents are too negative, I turn to youtube for advice, I will make 2023 my year!!!!

Agreed about networking! Not really one of the hot growth industries at the moment, but a solid career.
And it will always be a core skill for anyone in IT! The world is getting more and more networked, so networking is here to stay 💪

Great content and very valuable suggestions. I have one question for u though @David Bombal, which linux distribution would u recommend for a CCNP person trying to start with linux?

11 years ago , I had wasted my time not to continue my tech journey , thank you david for this wonderful video it helps me more to convince my self to give it a try again.

Thanks, David. It was a much needed message for me today. “Believe in yourself”.

Hi David good to see you are motivating us. I just need your advice regarding Cloud as you adviced mutiple times to start with AWS can you please elaborate which linux type specifically we should learn and how much networking skills we need to learn before moving AWS cloud practitioner cert moreover you udemy course "Python For Network Engineers" will be enough to move towards cloud?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Thank you David for the amazing content you put out. Appreciate your content!

Great content and reminder on going after what you want in tech/life. Thank you very much for sharing!

This video is a real gem! Thank you for sharing your ideas to us. I learned a lot and i'll make sure to apply them.

thank you sir, for creating such motivational videos and, as a software developer you have really made up my mind to revise and re-think about my goals for 2023!

This is the Motivation I needed to start this 2023. Thank you sir!

Thank you very much, David, for the information you provide; it is extremely valuable and useful. I like it.

Totally agree with you. Thanks for this inspiring video.

The energy is so positive David, thanks as always😀

Great suggestions. I absolutely agree with the idea of staying futuristic and riding the wave. . But One more.importabt thing, that in your learning pursuits rationalizing your screen time and limiting it will help bring a balance in your life which is also becoming a skill that is rare.

This guy was soo good.. genuinely cares about his viewers becoming a success

I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement.
I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it,Investing is a long-term game, so I will focus on the long run.

Hey David,
I left my job for a new career in cybersecurity. Earned my CompTIA A+ in Feb, and kinda been in a slump. Been stuck on Day 20/60 for CCNA for a bit now. This video, helped motivated me, thank you!.

thank you very much for this informative useful video. I am third year computer science student , I am recently debating myself which career path to choose after I graduate. This video given me some insight. I really like and enjoy machine learning , hence I wish to be machine learning engineer. However, I have never taken statistics, and I hate integral calculus (integration sometimes quite hard to do) . If you can make a video about how good a machine learning engineer has to be in mathematics and statistics, that would be appreciable. Thanks

You're an amazing individual David !!!
You bring motivation and helped me get out of isolation and get my life together.

Many many thanks Mr. David, it is an amazing video And motivating Thanks for that.

Been enjoying your content. Keep it up

Thanks for taking the time out to talk about this. Elevate, don't vegetate!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

It's gonna be a pretty good thing if you made structured course in fields you master well like security around IT ecosystem. You're a good teacher

David, You're amazing, love what you are doing! Thank you

Thank you so much Baba for such a feel up in confidence for this 2023 journey we are embarking in

David thank you so much for this video. It's exactly what I needed to get refocused and get my butt in gear. I want to get into Cyber Security but have been spinning in so many different directions I'm not making any progress. You're right, I just need to pick a niche and become an expert in that one area and go from there. Thanks for your hard work and desire to help us noob's.

Very inspirational content, most parts of your speech are right with mine, I'm so content to follow your advices, thumps up to you and thanks for all your hard works David.

Thank you so much for such a great content.. Just like you also suggested in your previous video about AI, I also wanna start my journey, I'm putting in 80% of my time to learn AI.
It would be great if I could get some free online courses to start our my journey, can you help with that? Thank you once again

Thank you ❤ I needed to hear this. I have been laid off and struggling and demoralized. Maybe all those doors closing are pivoting me towards a career change.

I’m 57 and I’m looking at different videos from different content creators to learn more about Information Technology, Cybersecurity and the various certifications. The main reason I’m doing this is to learn new things. If I am able to turn it into something more, then I’ll run with it

Leisure is not universally pointless nor bad, it is actually vital to success and is of return value. This is because there needs to be a balance in life, which many self-help books and time management courses also emphasize. Setting time aside every week for things besides work and learning is important to avoid burn out, stress overload, and to maintain peak mental and physical health. There is no point in working so hard if u don't take time to smell the roses.

Thank you David! I am fairly new to cyber security / ethical hacking. Learning can be overwhelming when trying to learn everything overnight. Thanks for putting learning into perspective!

Hi sir thanks for the information.
Open AI nowadays used to make a beautiful website, but still it is important to learn html and css and JS or something else
