In this brief YouTube clip titled "The Price of Success," two speakers discuss the trade‑offs between achievement and well‑being. Speaker B argues that prioritising mental health would diminish their success, emphasizing that their demanding lifestyle is unique and that few are willing to endure it. Speaker A counters with a personal motivational mantra, reminding themselves that low points are where most people quit, and that persisting through those moments is essential for winning. The exchange juxtaposes a resigned view of success’s cost with an encouraging call to resilience.

If my mental health was a priority, I wouldn't be as successful as I am. I mean, and that's just like a sad fact. There's a reason no one makes videos like me, like not even close, because no one wants to live the life I live. That's something I always tell myself is how you feel right now is why no one else does what you want to do or does what you do. And if you push through this, that's just even, you know, more of a reason why no one will ever be who you are.
This clip reminds me of something that I wrote that's pretty meaningful to me. Whenever I get to a low point where I think, why do I even bother? I just try to remind myself, this is where most people stop and this is why they don't win.
