@@user-hm9is5ke9i So many comments / complaints about the way I pronounce words and the words I use😂Router vs router, tomato vs tomato, kali linux vs kali linux, mall vs mall, double inverted commas vs quotation marks etc etc. Thank you for your comment 😀
The man with the Plan!
I'm from the US and I find that English spoken by people from the U.K. just sounds smarter 🤣David, thank you for EVERYTHING! You have helped change my life!
@@NewYorkGiant518 As someone from the UK I very much like your comment, although as a South African I'm not so sure David will haha
I swear to Allah David you wouldn't imagine how this video has changed my way of thinking thank you so much sir. Now I need to resume my learning path with no excuses nor the distraction on things that I don't have any control of. Huge thanks to you again
I'm 16 years old, I stumbled across your account 2 years ago, I'm from India, The people around me never supported me. I loved tech and gadgets. After you, I learnt Coding and Learnt your course on Linux. Now I've grown soo much Thanks to you, And I will continue to grow.
I'm sixty eight years old and work full time. I dont think it's ever too late to learn, love this gentleman.
Motivated to read your words
agree with you
Salute
I watched last year's video. And for 2023 I decided to get into networking. On Dec 28th I got my CCNA and on the 29th I got a job. Thanks David for being someone that says the things people need to hear.
Awesome!
Fantastic! That's great news!! Well done!!!!
@@davidbombal Great video as always full of positivity. A request: plz record a video regarding how to showcase networking(service configurations for system administration or firewall configuration) portfolio projects(topology & configurations, running-config, etc) to something like GitHub (other than LinkedIn), so that I can mention it in my CV and any recruiter may have an idea about me. (I tried Github but somewhat couldn't do it as efficiently as it should. ) Thanks more in advance...
Nice one ccna is very interesting.
What type of role did you get with CCNA? I got mine about 8 months ago and im struggling to find someone that will give me a shot without prior IT experience. But instead of giving up, im learning python to learn how to automate the stuff I learned during the CCNA.
Hi david sir i am from india and my parents can't afford to buy laptop for me , so i am working for past few months and i earned enough money to buy a good laptop and tomorrow is day when i am going to buy a laptop and from that i will learn cyber security and will try to make career out of it . Its all because of you david sir, Thank you for your inspiration one day i you will be interviewing me in this channel, Happy new year sir❤❤
Thank you David! Im 51 and just enrolled at my local University to study cybersec this year. I have some networking experience, but i am a Carpenter by trade. Your content is always clear,concise and on point. Very grateful to have found your channel.
My wife does not understand, why I often sitting in front of my PC to 3 - 4 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. This is almost the only time where I can immerse myself in learning something new without any distractions. Maybe I will not learn 1% new stuff every day, but I am happy, if I can lift my knowledge 3% per week. In 2023 I was able to change my career from being a chemist to become an IT specialist. My goal in 2024 is to learn a lot about IDS, SIEM and IT governance / compliance.
Appreciated
your wife is your brakes!?
the first 10 minutes of this video brought tears to my eyes, I am stuck in a loop that I have been trying to escape from. I started to work on ships at the very next year I graduated from high school in 1997 can't afford university. and I can't say that I regret my decision because at the time it was the best I can make to help my parent financial, I am the first son in our family with 4 younger siblings but the seaman life is a kind of isolated life especially in those days, so when I wanted to started a new way of living like right now that I have a little daughter who always wants me to be around her, I am so limited to take any step to get out of this situation I am currently on because not enough information, knowledge or skill. but now I am gonna try to do what you are telling me to do in this video I have to be discipline doing the change step by step I hope I can do it and succeed . Thank you for this video and wish me luck.
I'm a 41 year old mom of 3 with a full-time career... and am in college full-time. I just graduated (Dec 2023) with an associates degree from a community College, and now have transferred to a state college to work towards my B.S. I am definitely working hard to secure a better future!

Is this ai generated?
I was not expecting that intro but it was truly powerful and I needed it. I came from a background where I didnt know anyone in tech (still don't) or planned for success. I wasted years of my life partying and making dumb decisions. Over the last few years I realized I only get one shot at my life. I dont get to relive yesterday, last week or last year. I became very motivated and worked hard to get my Security+, Network+, and CYSA+ and I am currently a Data Center Engineer at a large company but my dreams dont stop there. If I can do it you can too. A quote that pushed me was "The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the 2nd best time is right now."
This video is awesome and truly inspiring. Last year, I knocked out CompTIAs Sec+ exam. I'm still trying to break through, but one goal has been accomplished. To all those reading this. I hope all of your career goals are met in 2024. #canthurtme #goalsrealized.
Excellent. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
Awesome, happy for you and great to read this.
David’s tips actually work BTW. I started in tech as a glorified secretary at a data center in august 2022 and now am a network engineer barely 18 months later. Mostly it was David’s tips on things like getting a CCNA, making a good resume, presenting yourself well, and believing in yourself that made me think I could do this as a job. Do the work and you’ll be amazed.
Fantastic story! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope that 2024 is your best year!
You're not an engineer of anything unless you went to school for at least 4 years in a certified engineering program and even then you'd only be an "engineer in training"
@grizzly_magnum9579 not true employeers value skills which can be specifically learned for a specific role. You don't need a degree you need job ready skills and some experience. The world is changing 😊
Thank you for this post. I'm encouraged at 47 to learn Data/ Business Analytics and Software Testing. I use to think at 47 I was too old. Now I believe I can do it
56 years old and very inspiring video with so much truth. Enjoyed all your videos ive seen. so much I've been reading the Basic linux and even have a old Toshiba laptop. Still learning the laptop out as last time i used a computer was with windows XP and dial up network. Thank you
You nailed it! I related the most to what you said about cutting off people who bring you down. In my case, it was my own family, but, depressing details aside, after cutting off that negativity, my life took an exponential turn upwards. Looking back, I can't believe I allowed myself to live that way for so long. Thank you and may your 2024 be full of new, exciting things!
Thank you, David. I have learned a great many things from you and all the guests you have joined you. I hope this new year permits you the opportunity to bring even more topics to the channel. I appreciate your hard work and insight.
Totally agree, David! Your videos are super motivating, and those book suggestions are on point. It's cool how you cover AI and tech stuff. The comments show you're helping all kinds of people, from newbies to pros. Thanks for making learning fun and keeping things positive. Excited for more videos in 2024! 🚀 #NewYearNewSkills #YouRock
David, these tips for 2024 are more thorough and wide-ranging than your 2024 tips with OTW. Seriously, you really nailed it, and were farther reaching, more expensive. Great vid.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! Make the most of 2024!
David! Very positive message and in today’s climate it’s very refreshing! I watched one of your videos and got hooked. You and your guests have been amazing! Thank you for being a ray of sunshine for so many including me. All the Best David and I hope everything keeps on getting better and better for you and your loved ones! I wish everyone on this channel all the best! Love your message Sir! 👍😁
Happy New Year David! I finally stepped into Cyber Security. Thanks to you and all the helpful advices over all these years. Your videos make me think about what's about today and whats possible tomorrow. It gave me strengh and the positive mindset to change and to be better every day. Again, thank you! Huge inspiration. Cheers!
Thank you David for the killer intro! I grew up in an area that has the highest crime rates in America and I came close to being to deep in the life but my hunger for better is what helped me make it out and now I'm a Cybersecurity Architect for one of the biggest tech companies in the world and I did it without a college education. Seventeen certs since 2013 and counting ❤
Awesome! Inspirational.
@@raymondphiri7925 Thank you! 🤙🏻
Your comment encourage me to collect soo many certificates as I'm cyber security students now and I will collect it one by one ......... I will never be tired to study , THANK YOU
@@user-di1by9ij2s Thanks man happy to hear you’re in route for more yourself, it’s a great way to stay up to date and grow self knowledge base let’s go 🤙🏻
I'm hoping to retire next year at 55. My goal this year is to be more serious and consistent with my investments I've been investing since I was 22. 2024 is going to be more serous for me investing consistently for the long term. starting to save for a house down payment. I want to invest more than $105k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk
Best thing you can do to derisk is diversify.
Its unclear which stocks and sectors will lead the market in the next uptrend. It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. looking at your budget, you should consider financial advisory.
A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors, but over the past 10years I've had a an advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I've made over $3million in gains... might not be a lot but i find myself secure financially
Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Since this strategy works for you, how can I contact your advisor?
Samuel Peter Descovich is the analyst that helps me. He has a large following and is easily found online. He has extensive understanding as I have made so much since following him.
I couldn't believe it. I was in the kitchen cooking dinner with KZhead running in the background when this video came on. It was your Voice, but you're not talking about Python, or Kali... Your talking about David Goggins!!!! Stopped me cold in my tracks!!!! I don't usually leave comments, but I just had to say Thank You for this GREAT Video!!!!! I really appreciate listing to your videos and I am trying to learn more about Python and Linux. But the investment in countless peoples lives that THIS VIDEO makes really touched my heart. Thank You for all you do. I am a bit of a news junkie, and I'm sure your right about the news. I just need to turn that crap off...
This is my favorite channel on youtube. I love the motivation you give me, i speak the same to all my friends - YOU CAN DO IT! Keep going David! Have a great year, i`ve learned a lot from you and won't stop growing with your help!
Thank you! So happy to hear that! All the very best for 2024!!
Over the past year, I found myself becoming increasingly complacent, which led me to start studying for the AZ-104 recently. The impact of not studying regularly for a whole year was quite significant for me. David, your motivational video is truly inspiring and solid.
You cannot change the past, but you can change your future! Make the most of 2024.
David, Happy new year! Wishing you and your family a wonderful new year. Thank you for the great content you make! Here's to another year learning new skills! 🎉🥳
Thank you! Happy new year!
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. Accents is never a problem, my accent is heavy & I have been here for nearly 4 decades. Blessed to have had a fab job I enjoyed and dreamt about since 7, I’m 58, left it at 55. I’m going to be a DD, death doula. I hardly watch tele, but I watch antique films or movies ones in a while.
This video is amazing and you are amazing David! The time and effort you put in to share information with people and to give people ideas and skills is so generous and kind. Thank you sir! Keep up the great work and happy new year!
David, you have always been inspiring us from the most inexperienced to the advanced. Thank you for all your encouragement and teachings. Thank you for making the content for us💪🏽
You're welcome! We have to help each other! 😀
Hey David! I'm just a 15-year-old tech enthusiast dropping by to say thanks for the constant motivation. This New Year, I'm all in for leveling up my knowladge in the fields of IT. Dreaming big.. Here's to a year of learning, growing, and seizing awesome opportunities. Thank You!
Great to hear! All the best for 2024!
Thanks for the amazing support! Great Job David 👍
Happy new year David, thank you for this video. I've lost motivation during Christmas, New years, etc. I hit a bit of a slump but this video has reignited that fire in me that makes me want to make a change. I started briefly and fell off but I'm ready to get going again thanks to you. I'm in the IT field already but I'm wanting to shift focus. Keep up the good work, I'm glad I found your channel.
He's the reason why I got 14k+ impressions on linkedin in just 10hrs. You've inspired me for bug hunting, cybersecurity and ethical hacking. Keep up the good work David
Very happy to hear that!
Thanks for the spark to kick off the New Year! Wonderful and honest motivating messages in the video. Thanks for all the great content David!
You're welcome! Make the most of 2024!

Thank you David...im almost 50 and i want to understand tech better. Im literally starting from scratch, but i feel positive regardless. With people like YOU around i can achieve my new goals. I didn't leave school with any qualifications and had a tough life because of it. I wont give just yet...python, AI, promt engineering is where i want to start, and then carry on from there.
David's video's are the best. Informative, productive entertaining and always worth my dan time. Love you David! Keep uploading
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
@@davidbombal Do you have any advice for a teenager who is an intermediate in cybersecurity to get better, and also how do you have any advice for a teenager 15-17 year old. How do I tell my parents that i don't do illegal things but do legal Would be very happy to get advice from my favourite cybersecurity youtuber!. Also they are not ready to buy me a personal commputer to enhance in my hobby till i get the age of 20. You gave me motivation to shut off the t.v and start exercising and studying more about cybersecurity. Thank you!😃
@@TallteennWatch this video where I interview Gavin who is 18 years old - I asked him these questions. Connect with him and join his community: kzhead.info/sun/ac6qept_mGd5on0/bejne.html - I would also show your parents that video. Gavin's video now has 180K views and he has made money from bug bounty etc.
@@davidbombal Thank you David will show that video to my parents as well and would join his community now. Happy new year🎉🎉
To everyone here. The worst thing you can do is to compare your learning skills to others. Everyone learns differently, and grows up differently. If you don't catch on quickly on certain subjects, that's ok! You are a different learner, and tell yourself that and you'll be ok. As long as you keep trying.
Thank you for that interest, it really inspires me. And ive watched you channel from day one, i also look foward to your channel keep thriving. Your a special typa man and i surely look up to you. Thanks David ❤
Awesome episode! I will definitely be adding these books to my reading list. I've already been putting new things into motion through continued education in the tech world and my own show. Thanks for all that you do with your show. I watch your shows all the time.
He is not only from India Even I Lots of love ❤️❤️ And Thanks a lot David 😁😁
Thanks for sharing David, been following you for years. I have been in IT for a while, working as network admin for the past 5 years in a large refinery. Really have been leaning towards Pythin and maybe cloud. It seems Python is that one thing that can really help with a lot of different paths (network automation, development, deveops, cloud, cybersecurity AI) at least thats how I see it. Found a really good course that helps with getting the basics down. After that I will take a more advanced python course with projects. Hope to get remote work one day.
Btw, I am not saying do not learn Python. Learn both. You will make it!
Thank you, David. I have always enjoyed your videos and really plan on changing my life this year. You enthusiasm and positivity make me feel like I will be able to do it.
I have known you from a UDEMY course back in 2020, and I love your content, really mature and a positive energy to push people forward to rise up and succeed. Thanks for everything you taught us. You have a very good set of traits as described in the teaching of Islamic Ideology and Quran that encourages every human to be a better person every next day and help others along the way. Massive respect and love to you from Pakistan.
I can always depend on David for some motivation! Whether it's a video about a perticular technology or simply a motivational IG post❤️🔥 We'd really love to know more about your story, you're the best Cybersecurity/Tech KZhead channel & have impacted so many lives For all the things you do for this community, Thank you sir!!
Thank you! I've posted some videos about my journey in the past, but great suggestion about creating a new one :)
Yes this would be wonderful to see what it takes to be great person like you David ^_^ @@davidbombal
Accidently found that Goggins book at a charity store for R30... Never thought I'd see it mentioned here 🤣🤣
Which book?

David , Thank you for everything you do for the community .

Predicting market movements is extremely difficult in reality. It requires the investor to be right twice: Essentially why individuals engage the service of experts who provide proper strategies to navigate the markets
Great video! It's refreshing to see individuals dedicated to making a positive impact by offering valuable advice and insights online. We could definitely use more people like you, striving to uplift and guide others in a constructive manner. Keep up the fantastic work!
Inspiring as always! Thanks David! I’m one of your fan(and early student on your ccna - the early adapters of the course years years ago 😅) Now I lead a community and help aspiring Filipino I.T grow and level their career. Thank you so much for being one of my ‘virtual mentor’ 🎉
Every like this comment gets I make a pushup in 1 SET
I watched the 2023 version of this video last year, It helped make drastically change and improvement in my life , I got two certs in cybersecurity, finished a 6 month boot camp . Now preparing for security plus and about to delve deep into cloud computing. Thanks David 😊
Starting my CertIV in cybersecurity in a few weeks and aiming for Net+ and Sec+ and securing an internships in security analysis at the end of the year. That's the plan. And I'm over 50. I've decided I belong in infosec. Thank you David for your work on your enjoyable, informative channel.
Absolutely great David! Thank you for this and being such an inspiration for all of us! God bless you.

David, I started following your channel about a year and a half ago. Your content has given me the inspiration I needed to continue learning about cybersecurity and to finish my degree in 2023! I cannot thank you enough for the work you do and the quality of the content you produce. For anyone that doubts the principles in this video, I'm living proof that you can change your life in a very short period of time! I got a degree in cybersecurity in 15 months while working a full time job. 1% better per day goes an incredibly long way to ensuring your future success. Don't give up!
I just subscribed even though I've been listening to you for a while. I must focus myself and your channel is the one I need to focus on, not multiple channels. Thank you.
I hear you loud & clear. All the way from Buffalo NY. Thank David.
Thank you David , this video just made me open my eyes about the future I want ...you such an inspiration for a lot of us GOD always bless you and give you the strength and energy to achieve all you wish to ...GOD BLESS YOU
I really needed this @David thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you David. I just graduated from NU with my masters in Cybersecurity and am anxious to start my career in this amazing field. I really appreciate your kind helpful advice on your channel.
The best video i have seen in quite some time, thank you David! Got me up and studying immediately, Thanks again!
David, you are the best! Exactly what we need now. Your connection with your youtube audience is at the top.
Love you bro. Haters might hate but you are one of the ones who encouraged me on the path a couple years back. I have taken the advice I liked from your videos and ran with it. Things are great with the job but I have to say I am worried to take the next step. I love what David says about not being smart but putting the work in. Thats exactly what I have done and some of that is thanks to you. Here is to the next year. Great video.
David thank you so much for your channel. Thank you so much for your teaching and I really thank you for this best message for 2024. God bless you and your family for New Year and many years to come.
Thanks for the message David. This was very helpful
Needed this 💖 Thanks David! For this and everything else
Minus A+ I'm the same. Born in '70, I'm learning Linux with encouragement and education from David, Occupy, and others, with Python waiting for a little better grasp of Linux prior to taking on another language. I'm coming from owning a demolition business, and I think anyone who puts in the time can do it.
Thanks alot for sharing all of that with us David. Thats a pretty fluid and impactful testimony to the power of the guided will. Often times, we're more guilty than anyone else of abandoning our own available free will, simply via channels of negativity and in turn, poor decision making. When you take control of your attitude you are literally able to refine your future into almost anything you want it to be.
Big focus on cyber security for me. Over the last three years, I've helped our company develop a robust defence in depth strategy, looking at various tools that can help our customers better secure their environments in the process. AI and machine learning have played and will continue to play a huge role in that and this is where the focus is for me. Superb video David. Keep up the excellent work 👍
Thanks for your support! God bless you and your family!🙌
You changed my mind for better. I needed to here this wisdom, i will grow exponentially
Totally agreed thanks David !!!!
I’ve learned some much from you David and you helped me pick a career path. Thank you ❤
Hi David, Happy New Year and all the best for 2024. Been following your video content for a while now and it is truly inspirational stuff and has helped me a lot over the last few years. Just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work you put into your videos and the invaluable advice and amazing courses you have put together. This video has been, yet another, big eye opener!
Happy new year! Thank you :)
Thank you David for the awesome video as usual! I appreciate what you are trying to do for the community!
Thanks for your kind words. ❤
Amazing inspirer I have been following you for the past 2 years. with less experience I moved to a senior role but I didn’t fear the unknown. I keep challenging myself and I really reaped the rewards!! Thanks again
Amazing video! So much value! Just thank you!❤
I have to admit over the years I have watched or read countless "insperational" things....this is different much different I have never had something hit me like this. What a well thought out delivery of incredible attributes, thoughts, feelings etc. I am decided just this moment I am going to listen to this video every single day for 30 days as soon as I wake up. I know along time I listened to specific 30 min audio file from one of the greats "Earl Nightingale" I must of listened to it 100 times and still on the 100th time I was picking different thinks up that I didn't hear before, not that I didn't hear it BUT I remember many times where I actually heard it if that make sense. All the dots connected, it made more sense etc. My point is when I disciplined myself to do it I had some incredible successes and rewarding times in every aspect of life. I am going to this for a month everyday, there are Diamonds 💎 in this thank you, thank you, thank you. I subscribed. ✌️
Thank you David. Great message. Best wishes for you and family in this new year 2024! ❤
Great video David. The introduction is well stated. Thank you for sharing your advice.
David... you are soooo RIGHT, when time flies (~8:40) ! 10 years goes by as fast as you turn 180°, and 20 years goes by in a BLINK OF AN EYE - AND YOUR BODY FEELS IT!!!
I totally agree with you, as we eat every day to live, we need to constantly update our knowledge to survive, plus it gives meaning to our lives, thank you.
I watched such a video on the skills to look out for in 2023. I started my Cloud journey with the AWS CCP certification. Learned a bit of Linux and now learning Python. Building these skills is the ultimate goal for 2024. Wonderful video Mr. Bombal👏👏👏
A random search led me to you and couldn’t be more excited - it’s is nice to hear my thoughts echoed by someone successful who is advocating things I have started to put into practice over the last year and half. Atomic habits allowed me to lose 30 lbs, put on muscle and be confident in my physique. I’ve also started my undergrad and have completed 80% of the degree within this year. You speak the truth and i hope more people listen and act on your message.
You won’t regret what you’ll learn from this legend. I got inspired a lot and progressed through out the years
So I've configured L2 and L3 switches multiple times on Packet Tracer. I finally was commissioned.to setup and switch for one where the long term memory died. Any time it would reboot it would lose its configuration. It worked without a hitch. It felt so good to finally put into practice what I've been working at. I want and will do more.with networking. This is due to being inspired by you, David. Thank you.
Yeppers! I am doing it this year. At the beginning of December I started a cybersecurity bootcamp. The hardest thing is i have 20 years of bad habits to change. But piece by piece I am going to get it done.🎉
Very motivational - this needs adding to focus based playlist for me, throughout the year. Thanks for the content as always David, keep up the great work.
Thank you for everything you are doing, great work! 🌞
I can’t express enough how this message came at the right time. Currently pursuing my masters in data engineering at the age of 42 with nearly 20 years of experience working at a power plant. It’s been a rough year but seeing this video made me realize that I just need to push on through. Much appreciated
From one David to another, you're an inspiration good sir!
This is from Africa your videos are helping us very well on the corner of IT and I am very excited about the way you taught us. thank you.
I will try to watch the beginning of this video every day or week, pure truth. Thank you for it!
You my Hero..David..❤
