So I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

I need your help to become Peak Tim.

我需要你們的幫助，才能成為巔峰提姆。

OK, so before you click out, let me explain what's going on.

好了，在你點擊退出之前，讓我來解釋一下到底發生了什麼。

OK, just give me a minute.

好吧，給我一分鐘。

I promise I respect your time and you won't regret it.

我保證尊重您的時間，您不會後悔的。

OK, at least you'll know what I'm talking about.

好吧，至少你知道我在說什麼。

So let's get to it.

那我們就開始吧。

I need your help to become Peak Tim, to become the best version of myself and to make the best possible videos that I can.

我需要你們的幫助，讓我成為頂峰提姆，成為最好的自己，製作出最好的視頻。

And I can only do that with your help.

只有在你們的幫助下，我才能做到這一點。

OK, so here's the thing.

好了，事情是這樣的。

First things first, I've recently gone a major life change.

首先，我最近的生活發生了重大變化。

My wife has been supporting me this whole time, is the most amazing person in this entire world that I know and love and is amazing and everything.

我的妻子一直都在支持我，她是這個世界上我最瞭解、最愛、最了不起的人。

She recently started a new job, which is a regular eight to five Monday through Friday schedule, which is a game changer for us, because the past few years, ever since I started YouTube, she's been working as a night shift nurse in the ICU of a hospital.

她最近開始了一份新工作，從週一到週五朝八晚五，這改變了我們的生活，因為在過去的幾年裡，自從我開始製作 YouTube 後，她一直在一家醫院的重症監護室當夜班護士。

Super intense workload, crazy schedule, three days a week, seemingly at random.

超強度的工作量，瘋狂的日程安排，一週三天，看似隨意。

And our sleeping schedule was all over the place.

我們的睡眠時間也是亂七八糟的。

And so for the very first time in my YouTube career, I finally can have uninterrupted large blocks of time with less stress and worry and everything.

是以，在我的 YouTube 職業生涯中，我第一次終於可以擁有不間斷的大塊時間，少了壓力和煩惱，什麼都少了。

And I can create videos how I want, when I want in a more regular schedule.

而且，我可以在更有規律的時間內，隨心所欲地製作視頻。

So first thing that means more regular videos.

是以，首先要做的就是製作更多的定期視頻。

And second of all, what that means is I'm hoping that this will be a great growth year for the channel.

其次，這意味著我希望今年將是該頻道取得巨大發展的一年。

I'm putting everything I have into making this year amazing for the channel.

今年，我將傾盡全力為頻道創造輝煌。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

So you may have seen this video I posted, I don't know, last year or something.

你們可能看過我發佈的這段視頻，不知道是去年還是什麼時候。

And I talked about the channel and what it means to me and all that and blah, blah, blah.

我談到了頻道和它對我的意義，等等等等。

But there's one particular thing I want to talk about.

但有一件事我特別想談談。

Again, Cliff Notes version.

再說一遍，克里夫筆記版本。

So in my entire life, I've noticed a pattern every time I start some new endeavor, whether it was high school or tennis or photography, videography, programming, my own career, my first job after college.

是以，在我的一生中，每當我開始一些新的嘗試時，我都會發現一個規律，無論是高中、網球、攝影、攝像、編程，還是我自己的職業生涯、大學畢業後的第一份工作。

All of these things, they take me roughly three to four years to settle in.

所有這些事情，我大概需要三到四年的時間來適應。

And once I settle in, I hit that peak Tim level and I'm cruising.

一旦我進入狀態，我就會達到蒂姆的巔峰水準，然後我就能遊刃有餘了。

But the thing is, with all of those things, what I really lacked was I mean, school is school.

但問題是，有了這些東西，我真正缺乏的是我的意思是，學校就是學校。

But besides that, the other things, what I really lacked was a strong enough passion to go for it and put my entire life into it.

但除此之外，我真正缺乏的是一種足夠強烈的激情，去為之奮鬥，並將我的一生都投入其中。

But this is different.

但這次不同。

YouTube videos, videography, directing, writing.

YouTube 視頻、攝像、導演、寫作。

This is different.

這是不同的。

This is something I care so much about and I want to bring it to fruition and be the best possible version of myself.

這是我非常關心的事情，我想把它變成現實，做最好的自己。

I want to be peak Tim, create peak Tim thoughts, get to the peak level of this graph for the channel to make the most amazing stuff I can for you, for the world, for everyone else.

我想成為巔峰蒂姆，創造巔峰蒂姆的思想，讓這個頻道的圖表達到巔峰水準，為你們、為世界、為其他人做出最棒的東西。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

I know thus far on the channel, especially if you've been following me for a while.

到目前為止，我在頻道上已經知道了，尤其是如果你已經關注我一段時間的話。

I know that, you know, I have a disdain for the algorithm and I've talked ad nauseum about that.

我知道，你知道，我對算法不屑一顧，我已經說過很多遍了。

And that's not what this is about.

而這不是問題的關鍵。

This is actually kind of the opposite.

這其實有點相反。

If we want this whole thing to work, if you want to help me succeed the way I want me to with the algorithm.

如果我們想讓這件事順利進行，如果你想按照我的意願幫助我在算法上取得成功。

And the only way any of this is going to work is if I have your support.

只有得到你們的支持，這一切才能成功。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

You know, I've met some of you through the channel, through comments, through discord, through Instagram.

我通過頻道、評論、discord 和 Instagram 認識了你們中的一些人。

And you guys are so amazing.

你們真是太棒了

You're such amazing people and you've done such amazing things.

你們是如此了不起的人，做了如此了不起的事。

And I know there are a bunch of you out there who I've never met, but I'm sure you're equally as amazing.

我知道你們中還有很多人我從未見過，但我相信你們也同樣了不起。

That's the thing about this channel that I cannot believe that is the best thing ever is the kind of people that my videos attract.

我無法相信的是，這個頻道最棒的地方就是我的視頻能吸引到這樣的人。

These amazing, thoughtful, compassionate, caring, skilled, learned, you know, amazing people.

這些令人驚歎、體貼入微、富有同情心、關懷備至、技藝精湛、學識淵博的人，你知道的，都是令人驚歎的人。

And that's who you are.

你就是這樣的人。

And that's why I'm relying on you.

這就是我依靠你的原因。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

And together, I think we can grow this channel into something that I always knew it could be.

我認為，我們可以一起把這個頻道發展成我一直認為可以成為的樣子。

And I'm going to do my part.

我會盡自己的一份力量。

I'm going to be making these videos.

我要製作這些視頻。

I'm going to be releasing them as fast as I can, as often as I can, and of as high quality as I can that you've come to know and love and enjoy.

我將以最快的速度、最多的頻率、最高的品質推出你們所熟悉、喜愛和享受的作品。

If you know me at all, whether personally or through the videos or through Instagram or whatever, you probably know that I'm not the kind of person that asks for help.

如果你瞭解我，無論是我本人還是通過視頻、Instagram 或其他方式，你可能知道我不是那種會尋求幫助的人。

I don't like to be a burden.

我不喜歡成為負擔。

I don't like to make other people do things for me because I always feel like I don't want to put more strain on other people's shoulders when I know you guys have your own worries and stuff going on.

我不喜歡讓別人幫我做事，因為我總覺得我不想給別人增加負擔，因為我知道你們有自己的煩惱和事情要做。

But if this is going to succeed, if I'm going to make it, if this channel is going to be something long term that we can all enjoy and grow from and grow together, then I can only do it with your help.

但是，如果這個頻道要成功，如果我要成功，如果這個頻道要成為我們都能長期享用、從中成長並共同發展的東西，那麼我只能在你們的幫助下才能做到。

And so here's the plan.

計劃是這樣的

Let me break it down for you and what you can do to help me make this a reality.

讓我來為你們分析一下，你們可以做些什麼來幫助我實現這個目標。

What I'm going to be doing now is I'm going to be posting videos more often.

我現在要做的就是更頻繁地發佈視頻。

My goal is at least one video per week, maybe even more.

我的目標是每週至少播放一段視頻，甚至更多。

If this is going to work, I do need your help.

如果要成功，我確實需要你們的幫助。

If you see a new video that comes out and it sounds interesting, please watch it as long as is interesting to you.

如果您看到新的視頻，而且聽起來很有趣，只要您感興趣，就請觀看。

And if you do like it, leave a thumbs up on the video and leave a comment, even if the comment is just a smiling emoji or something like that.

如果你喜歡，請在視頻上豎起大拇指並留下評論，哪怕評論只是一個微笑的表情符號或類似的東西。

But all of these little things, these little tiny things that don't require a ton of effort, don't require any money from you, will help the channel dramatically in growing.

但所有這些小事，這些微不足道的小事，不需要花費大量精力，也不需要你出一分錢，就能極大地幫助頻道發展。

I'll try and pin down a more specific schedule as time goes on, and I'm going to be seeing you guys regularly, you know, hit me up on Instagram, come by the Discord.

隨著時間的推移，我會嘗試制定一個更具體的日程表，我會定期和你們見面，你們知道的，可以在 Instagram 上聯繫我，也可以來 Discord。

We can talk about anything or you can get updates about how things are going and blah, blah, blah.

我們可以無所不談，你也可以瞭解事情的最新進展，等等等等。

But that's basically the plan.

但計劃基本上就是這樣。

I'm going to be making a bunch more videos and I have a lot of great, amazing ideas in the pipeline.

我將製作更多的視頻，我有很多很棒的想法正在醞釀中。

Like I want to make more Forgotten Ghibli, Toshio Suzuki video.

就像我想製作更多 "被遺忘的吉卜力"、"鈴木敏夫 "視頻一樣。

I'm sitting on a mountain of Japan content, more vlogs, more other interesting ideas I have.

我有一大堆關於日本的內容、更多的視頻博客、更多其他有趣的想法。

And I even want to get out there and start making like real documentaries, interviewing real people about real world issues and problems that are out there.

我甚至想走出去，開始製作真正的紀錄片，採訪真實的人，瞭解真實世界的問題。

I have so much ambition and so many goals for myself and for the channel for this year.

我有太多的雄心壯志，今年我為自己和頻道制定了太多的目標。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

This can only work.

這隻能行得通。

This can only become a thing that I can do, continue to do full time if I have your support.

只有得到你們的支持，我才能做這件事，才能繼續全職做這件事。

And that's my biggest goal for this year.

這就是我今年最大的目標。

I want to grow the channel to a place where it can become a sustainable source of income for me, because I'm going to be honest with you guys, I have a little bit more runway now with this new job and this is it.

我想把這個頻道發展壯大，使其成為我可持續的收入來源，因為實話跟你們說吧，我現在有了這份新工作，就有了更大的發展空間。

This is really it.

真的是這樣

These next few months will decide the fate of the channel.

接下來的幾個月將決定該頻道的命運。

I mean, I can definitely continue to make videos, even if I find a full time job and all that, but they will be much more infrequent.

我的意思是，即使我找到了一份全職工作，我也一定能繼續製作視頻，但頻率會大大降低。

And I can't say for sure, but I feel like the channel will fizzle out and just won't make it if that happens.

我也不能確定，但我覺得如果發生這種情況，頻道就會垮掉，也就做不下去了。

So I'm putting my hopes and dreams into this.

所以，我把希望和夢想都寄託在這裡。

I'm going to pull my hardest to make the best videos that I can, that you guys have ever seen, that will propel Tim Thott into a new plateau, a new echelon, a new stratosphere.

我會盡我所能，製作出你們所見過的最好的視頻，將蒂姆-索特推向一個新的高度、新的梯隊、新的平流層。

You know, help me grow the channel.

你知道的，幫我發展頻道。

Help me be Peak Tim.

幫我成為峰頂提姆。

Help me make it be everything that I know it can be.

幫我實現我所知道的一切。

If you're watching this video, you've probably seen one of my other videos.

如果您正在觀看這段視頻，您可能已經看過我的其他視頻。

I mean, you must have.

我的意思是，你必須有。

And in that capacity, you know, on some level, who I am and what I do and how much heart I put into all the videos, all the stuff I make, and that's who I am.

從某種程度上說，我是誰，我在做什麼，我對所有視頻和我製作的東西投入了多少心血，我就是這樣的人。

And that will never change.

這一點永遠不會改變。

And this is what I'm asking for.

這就是我的要求。

This is what I need help with.

這就是我需要幫助的地方。

I need a way to make this the reality.

我需要一種方法讓這成為現實。

I need a way to propel Tim Thott into the future, into something that I can keep making and keep building on and to be something that will reach more and more people so that I can continue to make videos and share ideas and thoughts and spread something more than just, you know, the clickbait, the rage bait, the whatever.

我需要一種方法來推動蒂姆-托特走向未來，成為我可以繼續製作、繼續發展的東西，成為可以影響越來越多的人的東西，這樣我就可以繼續製作視頻，分享想法和思想，傳播更多的東西，而不僅僅是，你知道的，點擊誘餌、憤怒誘餌什麼的。

I'm not trying to throw shit at other people, but I do think there's something about my videos that's different.

我並不是想詆譭別人，但我確實認為我的視頻與眾不同。

And I think if you're watching this video, you understand that.

我想，如果你正在觀看這段視頻，你就會明白這一點。

And that's why I need your help.

所以我需要你的幫助。

I'm not a big channel.

我不是一個大頻道。

You guys know that.

你們知道的。

If you're watching this, you're probably only one of a few, maybe hundred people.

如果你正在看這個節目，你可能只是少數人之一，也許有上百人。

And that, it sounds like nothing.

這聽起來好像沒什麼。

But if you all feel the same way and you all pitch in a little bit, we can grow this channel into something amazing and spectacular and big enough to sustain me and my family and we can keep going.

但是，如果你們都有同樣的想法，並且都能貢獻自己的一份力量，我們就能把這個頻道發展成令人驚歎、壯觀的大頻道，足以支撐我和我的家庭，我們就能繼續走下去。

You know, maybe it's too much to ask, but what I really want is to be able to pursue this passion to make videos and to earn a living doing it so I can stay home, be with my family, grow my family, and at the same time, continue to be creative and follow my passion and make amazing videos that you all will enjoy and learn from and grow from.

你知道，也許這個要求太過分了，但我真正想要的是能夠追求製作視頻的激情，並以此為生，這樣我就可以待在家裡，與家人在一起，讓我的家庭成長，同時繼續發揮創意，追隨我的激情，製作出讓你們都會喜歡、從中學習和成長的精彩視頻。

And we can all learn and grow together.

我們可以一起學習，一起成長。

Okay, I think that's pretty much it.

好了，我覺得差不多了。

I'm trying to make this video as short as possible and I finally, you know, feel like I said what I needed to say and I recorded other stuff before I threw it out and I'm finally here now and I hope it got through to you.

我想讓這段視頻儘量簡短，我終於，你知道，我覺得我說了我想說的話，在我把它扔出去之前，我還錄製了其他東西，現在我終於在這裡了，我希望它能傳遞給你。

And that's it.

就是這樣。

That's everything I have to say and I hope I said it in a meaningful and connective way, you know, but that's it.

這就是我要說的一切，我希望我說得有意義、有聯繫，你知道，但就是這樣。

That's everything.

這就是一切。

So, please, you know, please do help if this resonated with you, if my channel means something to you, if what I said makes sense, please help me out and make TimThoughts everything that I know it can be.

所以，如果這能引起你的共鳴，如果我的頻道對你有意義，如果我說的話有道理，請幫助我，讓 TimThoughts 成為我所知道的一切。

Thank you.

謝謝。

Thank you so much for watching this video, for watching any number of my other videos, and for your help in the future.

非常感謝您觀看本視頻，感謝您觀看我的其他視頻，感謝您今後的幫助。

Thank you guys.

謝謝你們

I cannot say that enough.

我怎麼說都不為過。

It's only because of you that any of this works at all and I just want to say thank you and, you know, as always, I'll catch you all in the next one.

多虧了你們，這一切才得以實現，我只想對你們說聲謝謝，下期節目再見。
