Simon. So true! I ordered a salad at Jack n the box drive thru and when I got to the window the rep said you do not need to pay for your food. I asked why and he said because the person in front of you paid for it . I said what?? I was still trying to pay and the rep had to tell me "ma'am its paid for". I could not believe it. It was one of the nicest things. I tried to find the car to thank him but he was already gone. This experience inspired me to do the same for someone else. Simon is right.....kindness is contagious
I once paid dinner for the person behind me, but that was at mc donalds. Someone told me a story about doing something good for 3 persons, and they should do something good for 3 more and so on. I strongly believe in this so i helped 2 more people without annything in return with something someone would normally not do. I helped someone drive across 3countries. and a homeless person up to the moment he could afford a home, and relatively healthy lifestyle.
william sands so sorry it’s seems you have missed the point. I refuse to allow those that take to stop me from being kind because I get more from my kindness than the cost and you never know if your act of kindness will change a harden heart
Isn’t it something like....I know someone who has a crush on a girl. He saw her behind him ordering a coffee. The man paid for the coffee of the girl behind him because he has a crush on her. Is that ok? Or is the man hoping for something in return?
I love this! One of the things I miss about pre-COVID was the small interactions with strangers. I love holding the door open for folks, letting them go ahead of me in line when I can tell they are in a rush, or complimenting them in some way. Not trying to brag here or anything- I just truly miss it, it gave me energy and made me feel good, probably better than how it made the stranger feel.
Just realized that Simon has the values of my husband.🎉and felt instantly grateful. we are so blessed that he found a way to communicate such messages powerfully to so many of us. It’s a reminder of our North Star. It’s a validation that our impact is not small at all. To all of you that root for the people around you including yourself, I send light.😊
Saw this principle on display at work. Seeing changed individuals, once full of negativity and complaints, today positive, grateful and healthier. Results, significant productivity improvements. Thank you Simon. Agree 100%.
Y’all need to know this. A well-known podcast in the US taught me how the Rich don’t teach how to achieve success. They Seek the ideas of Fin. ConsuItants to help grow their finance.
My problem is I’m trying to find a quiet place to listen to him and people are either in the way (not their fault) or they won’t stop interrupting 😢. It’s hard to even listen to it at my house.
A colleague is someone who has the same profession as you in the same company but a coworker is then 2 or more people who work within the task you have been given
You articulate so effortlessly how I feel about empathy and how important it is. I'd almost started to think I was the only person who felt this way and what's worse thought maybe something was fundamentally wrong with me because of it. I'm always so disappointed by the way people treat each other but it really seems like it's sadly the norm. I'm always viewed as the leader who's too nice which unfortunately equates to weaknesses. I've learned it's absolutely the opposite. I have young women on my team who learned to trust their point of view, look for the good in others, treat every person as if you don't know what they may be going through.. So on and so on. We are not corporate favorites because it's hard for us the talk the talk. The important thing is that we actually walk the walk, which is ironically what "they" say they need from us but they have no idea how to or don't care to cultivate an environment that actually rewards or at minimum acknowledges this. By the way, I love the examples of simple acts of kindness. It truly renews my faith in humanity. As small as it may seem I actually think that in those moments is when I see a true glimpse of what God's vision must have been for us. Love your insights and admire your work!
Thanks I needed to read this. This is the problem we need more people such as you. I don’t feel cared for at all it’s a real bummer. It’s not everyone at my work place most are nice but the ones who aren’t I don’t want to be around and it’s to the point I don’t even think I’m going to show up. I think I may quit which is sad because I’m the one who actually cares about the guests others just don’t. 🤷♀️😕
He's right... I often feel insecure, especially during this pandemic. But I'm fortunate to have a friend who would hear me out and talk about it. It probably might not seem much to him but to me, he is a caring friend. So I managed to stand back up and stop feeling depressed. So for anyone who feels insecure, I want you to believe in yourself. No matter what happens in life, you can pull through, you are capable. So never doubt yourself.
I owe you when I became a head in pediatric department, at that time I missed a lot about leadership , but after listening to all your videos about that , really all my social communication have been changed , thank you Simon soooooo much , you are inspiring to many people , God bless you ⚘💞
Excellent talk! The part that struck me the most was when he said.. if someone is taking advantage of your kindness, you step back and say MY BAD. And it occurred to me, you don't blame them. You read the room and adust.
She was my 3rd grade school, took me under her wings from a bullied one to the best performer in my class. I still remember her name and always tell about her how her influence has refined me. I bow my head for her. ❤️

Your right but every person have different values on this kn like i more give trust and care forgot other things jk 😅 but others are i gave low value. But we live in world here everyone have their own desire and they work for that until end, we can't be always good and bad if we can just spread right thinking.
On your lunch, drive home or before bed, or even with your morning coffee....you should watch this! Even the first 3 minutes make you really think!! What a great video.
This is one of those speeches that I will listen to again and again for the rest of my life because it's such a beneficial reminder. Every few months I forget what this video is and then I'm like oh yeah this is such a great speech
Simon, it's like you are describing my current employer! And after my previous nightmare job (generally a perfect fit for your worst case scenarios), I am striving to enable and lift the guy that works for me. Congratulations on helping me to appreciate how great I have it now, and how lucky I am in general with regards to my work.
While Simon was talking and I closed my eyes.. I all of a sudden remembered such a random but special moment. I had just lost my best friend and I was grieving her. But as some of you may know.. Life doesn't stop it goes on. I had to finish my thesis and so I went to the library.. All brave, knowing I really had to focus and work on it. However, after an hour you start remembering moments you studied together, and then you go look at photos... Before you know it, you are silently crying in the library. And in this world in which we live, I thought no one would see me, no one would care. So this happen, a guy comes walking towards me and just puts a pack of M&M’s on my desk. He smiled and he walked away. Not expecting anything, nothing. I was too flabbergasted to even silently say ”thank you”. But he in that moment changed everything. It touched me in so many ways. And somewhat the pain I was feeling melted. And I led a tear of joy. He left the library and I never saw him again. Mindblown. Human kindness is magical.
Those words touched me to the core . Yes to many aspects of what you said . The act of random kindness in a single act delivers a greatness in itself , or ongoing kindness from a deep soul truly blows you away . So my thoughts go out to you , giving without expectation is best gift ever .
Everytime I start listening to him I had to shut down and disable my entire belief system for the 20 minutes, for the sole purpose of understanding his incredible mindset,
That’s a great way to see it! It’s amazing how the whole core point of this universe is built around friendship and on giving one’s self up for another and not expecting to receive anything in return, aka friendship. That helps me rationalize that if the whole point of the universe is centered around that one idea, that a creator of the universe might have been the first to show us such an example of friendship. When the Creator came down here to earth in the form of Jesus and laid his life down on the brutal horrible cross so that there would be a way out for us so we don’t have to bear the penalty of our sins for eternity in hell, it was the strongest example of friendship in eternity. I don’t think I have any friends that would ever do that for me. It’s hard for me to rationalize that we would have a conscience and a built-in moral code of right and wrong that even animals do not have if perhaps a creator did not put it in our minds from the beginning of time when he created us. We can all understand what a sin is without anyone telling us what’s right or wrong. If we are breaking the law of friendship and harming someone else or ourselves and we can, through our conscience, understand that it’s a sin. And there must be consequences for those sins, or why would we feel bad and morally wrong when we commit them? Just like there’s jail down here on earth there must be some sort of eternal punishment for those sins which can be pretty horrific that man has committed against each other. If there are consequences down here on earth there must be consequences after we have finished up the work of our life. Through our sins we deserve hell but only one took all of our sins upon himself, and paid the price of hell for us on the cross. God himself in true friendship came down to us through Jesus to pay the price for our sins. What a loving example of friendship for all of us to understand. This is all laid out beautifully in the Bible, A perfect study guide on how to be a true friend. Our creator is at the heart of friendship🙂 Much love!!!
He's the most inspiring person I'v ever watched until now. I Always feeling thrilled and satisfied when hearing her speaking even my life gets me down all the time.
Semper Fidelis from this U.S. Marine Veteran. Yes, it's about making sure that I do for those who are watching my back. It's about do more for others first than for myself..It's hard for civilians to understand. I don't like people who feel entitled, entitled to have without working for it.
LOL. Unless that “civilian” is a mom. We do it every day, without pay, often without thanks. Definitely without expecting our children to have our backs....at least until they’re grown.
AWESOME STUFF. Why are our schools not teaching this stuff to our children? This is how we build a better world. Doing good for others is simple stuff. Let us make a better world by living just this - doing something for others. Well done. Excellent presentation.
Teachers teach this and provide opportunities for this all the time. Extracurriculars have this. But school can only do so much. Ones own family and peer group can reinforce or splinter these ideas.
At my job in the Food Industry I'm fairly low on the totem pole, however I've been there long enough that others around me are beginning to consider me competent in what I do and are going to me to pass on what knowledge I have of my job to other. For the longest time I've considered one of our newer workers incompetent and lazy and always on their phone. This lecture was hugely eye-opening and gives me a new perspective on my relationships with others around me.
I am not a Doctor but even I get mad when I hear someone say "I want to be a Doctor to make a lot of money" thats a huge slap to all the Doctors who went through sometimes decades of training. I don't think you can be a doctor for only the money, you have to have a certain passion for helping people. Not everyone has that, atleast I know I don't. So thanks to all the Doctors.
@Ace J. 7 Million Where I live you need 6 years for basic medical training. Then another 6 years to become a surgeon. Then probably more training to keep up. So that's at least 12 years but probably more. Two decades isn't unrealistic.

Since I’ve been asked a lot: I will always advise, we buy stock in several companies that make products & services that *you* believe in. Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
Thank you Simon for this! I was given many management duties while my boss is on leave, and I felt like I had no idea how to be a good leader at work. My boss actually is the one who inspired me to even be willing to try to lead, he uses these principles all the time. I've used them in my life but never understood how to apply them properly in a work situation. Passing kindness on is an integral part of happiness, for me at least. And I had never thought of the job of management as bringing out the best in people before I worked with my current manager, I always thought it meant just getting people to do their work and coaching them if needed. And I hadn't thought of putting people in situations where they could fail as being positive until I heard your reasons. I believe this will help me become a better leader, even if it is a temporary position for me the skills apply at any level.
You gave words to what I was feeling inside about relationships, trust and bonding. True relationships last a lifetime and are not built on shallow foundation of short-term gains. You have to invest your precious time and energy to build it brick by brick. It requires a lot of selflessness & team-spirit for one to achieve that nirvana state of mind. Thank you.
High school had no such moments for me, but once I got a job my supervisor was one of the greatest mentors and man ive ever had the honor of knowing. Alot of who I am was forged in those years.
I've been telling my boss I was going to talk about the work place problems that tragically, sometimes end in a divorce, or children not wanting to be with parents at a young age! I'm glad to hear someone is already out there with the message!!😘
Simon Sinek! I follow your work closely, ever since that first TED talk on WHY, and I've benefited SO SO SO much over the years! And this talk is absolutely THE ONE that I needed just now! Puts everything in place - in my head! It feels like this giant jigsaw puzzle in my head finally has all its parts in place! I've always been that person to help the guy with the papers he dropped, and people have always said to me, oh, you are too good, people are taking advantage of you! But it never felt like that for me! I always knew better - because my grandparents and my parents were just like the people you describe: giving without EVER expecting anything in return. Helping whenever they could, simply because they could! However, this talk cleared for me other aspects of it all, and for this I am forever grateful! So much stuff to pass on to my grandkids
Simon sinek! I recomand you to see how see how God told us to follow the wright path , and to handle these problems in Quran .(surah 1, "Albaqrah"). Help someone to help others ...
How are there 1.3K people that gave this a thumbs down...such a great, valuable talk...thank you Simon for how you make us look at things in a different and more inclusive way.
Because of the algorithm if you want you tube to stop sending you a certain type of video you have to give it a thumbs down. Your right though this guy is amazing.
Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.

Icu nurse here.... you are SPOT ON.....was at se hospital 22 years..got told I "SPEND TOO MUCH TIME IN PTS ROOMS. AND ZTHETE IS SUCH A THING AS "TOO NICE". " most compassionate nurse here, BUT... BUT??? BUT?? THE COMPUTER is really the focus, not the human clinging to life...or their loved one praying at the bedside. I carry cat food in car for straus.. travel size toiletries and water for homeless... And believe me... Im not in a great place..but When I pay for ppl behind us in drive thru, I feel better♡
Whoever you are who can't sleep tonight, is tired or sad, believe that there will be tomorrow that will light up your beautiful days. You just need to endure a little more, a little more, and a little more ... Thank you for being patient, thank you for being able to survive. And as you read this, promise yourself that you will be able to get through your toughest days in the future. Promise to keep smiling, no matter how you are ... You deserve to be happy :)
Great motivational video with Simon Sinek! "If you actually want to build relationships, you build them without wanting anything." I love truly *listening* to my employees because I want to get to know them and help them reach their own potential. What are they passionate about? What motivates them? We're here to help each other reach our full potential and follow our dreams :) looking forward to more motivating content!
I've been struggling with knee pain and have a scooter to get around now, I was off work for a month because of the pain and when I came back,one of the judges bought me a coffee. Couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day.
This was taught in INDIA thousands of years ago by Spritual persons ( like Lord Jesus Christ, yes he came to India, ) this again Taught by Swami Vivekanada in Karma Yoga
Well, I guess no one at my previous job trusted anyone in the building. NO ONE did anything extra for anyone else. No. One. I came along and attempted to change the culture with simple acts of kindness and I got let go with little explanation 🤷🏼♀️
Hey guys! I know this video is old, but I'd like to share something. At 15:48, Simon starts a reflection on "that one teacher who took you under their wing" and "helped you realize that you are capable or more than you thought you were". In 2021, I sent this to my English teacher from 2005 back in my home town. He was going through a lot and his mental health was not in good shape. I didn't know this since I unfortunately hadn't talked to him in decades. A day later I receive a message from a close friend telling me he is friends with my old teacher and that he couldn't stop crying. He told me he felt he was worth something again. I'll never in my life forget this video's advince as to what really is the responsability of a manager, which I have turned into today (as in it really is today).
Simon reminds us that we are humans beings first and foremost. Nothing else we achieve compares when we realise the fullness of our individual and collective humanity.
Brilliant!!! The more I listen to Simon, it is as if he is pulling me out of the fog I've been in that is corporate america. Not sure if I'd call it a "philosophy" since he backs everything up with facts and science. The crazy thing is that I see Simon's ideas as so spot on and impactful that everyone would want to learn and embrace. However, when I show his videos to some of my staff, they aren't affected in the same way. I don't see how this can be. But, it sure is a clear sign that we don't hold the same core values. I see a great challenge to be uncovering your own purpose that is succinct enough to apply to your personal life and at work. Life changing insights. Thanks Simon!!!
overcome idealization, Simon word only covers half of what makes us a human, thats why we have social contracts and the fact that they are under stress all the time.
Best video ever watched in these past 2 years (meaning: since the 1st day I was given another chance to live). Thank you for uploading it, and pls always keet it available, so it can touch and inspire more and more ppl! God bless you!
There's a market place nearby the metro station I live next to and every time I come down to the metro and see elderly women carry their heavy wheeled bags with groceries down the stairs, I come up to them and take their bags downstairs. I must admit, it gives me a lot of saticfaction.
I was thinking about these things today and this video came up. Crazy in the best possible way! feeling that you're not the only one thinking a certain way is what you need to make your day and week and it's what you crave the most when you feel the world is going in the opposite direction you have set in your head.
Yeah, it's very faint, but even me with one good ear, ringing with tinnitus, can hear some music and WISH LIKE HELL I could turn it off (the ADHD won't let it go).
Simon….you are an inspiring speaker. I, too, am a public speaker. You have a communication crutch that is not necessary. You often finish a thought/sentence with the word “right!” It is like you are asking the audience to confirm what you already know. It is not necessary! I hope this is helpful!
This guy is a solid genius. A goliath public speaker. This talk made me go through all the emotions. We should absolutely refuse to work the way we do and accept emotional abuse day in and day out. Simon Sinek has *all* of the priorities straight and is an incredibly charismatic and passionate guy. I am so grateful that he is well-known and that we get to listen to powerful reminders such as this for free. Thank you Simon!
The first few minutes of his speech are the exact reasons why I left healthcare and joined healthcare IT. I felt like no one actually cared about the clients and it's primarily because the hospitals don't care about the staff. I switched to IT because I'm treated well and I know I'm helping the patients indirectly.
I love how Simon sees through everything to the kernel of truth that ends up defining us as humans. @simonsinek Thankyou for shining a light on work dynamics.
Team building and empathy goes a long way. A feeling of appreciation is even better! 💕 The only job I've ever had and felt truly appreciated was the Army because I knew that whether I needed to talk or play or risk my life...someone always had my back! He speaks the Truth! ✌️💕🤟
I cried so hard during the part about the teacher because mine had passed away from cancer at young age and had a little baby girl. I still cry every time I think about her😢😢😢 we had such an amazing relationship and she was the nicest person I knew. RIP my darling
Jesus said “it’s more blessed to give than to receive”. I love your work Simon and this message. I throw out the Jesus quote as it hits the nail in the head. Whether you believe Jesus was God or that God exists or not Brass tacks, Let’s stamp the death of the greedy 90’s way of business. Care for each other
Brad Houston Please have a time to read exodus 21: 20-21 Leviticus 25: 44-46 I used to be affiliate to any organization, beliefs, cultural stuff, republic, Democrat, and so on.. But when I just connect:: to people things happen 😁 And I remember if I was born in a different country with totally different parent and totally different types beliefs.. my religion will be stay the same? Media keeps showing this religion bomb this religion’s church But they haven’t show the images that this guy standing up the whole day guarding the opposite religion’ church.... The last time I heard is not this “guy” anymore.. it’s the ‘group” of people.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just heard his name few hours ago and watching his vedios since then, unbelievable that such kind of personalities r still with us... would like to meet with him once in my life ...... he's become my role model although I m unaware about the things what he s saying whether he performs in his life or not....but he has the similiar thoughts what I possess......lots of love from India 🇮🇳

While often criticised for it, I must say that the willingness to sacrifice one's self for the good of another is a dignifying existence.

However, after an hour you start remembering moments you studied together, and then you go look at photos... Before you know it, you are silently crying in the library. And in this world in which we live, I thought no one would see me, no one would care.
So this happen, a guy comes walking towards me and just puts a pack of M&M’s on my desk. He smiled and he walked away. Not expecting anything, nothing. I was too flabbergasted to even silently say ”thank you”. But he in that moment changed everything. It touched me in so many ways. And somewhat the pain I was feeling melted. And I led a tear of joy. He left the library and I never saw him again. Mindblown. Human kindness is magical.
Thank you for sharing your story ☺🙌🙏
Those words touched me to the core . Yes to many aspects of what you said . The act of random kindness in a single act delivers a greatness in itself , or ongoing kindness from a deep soul truly blows you away . So my thoughts go out to you , giving without expectation is best gift ever .
Thank you for sharing your story! I hope you are doing okay now
Amazing story!
I hope you meet that guy again in the future.
Everytime I start listening to him I had to shut down and disable my entire belief system for the 20 minutes, for the sole purpose of understanding his incredible mindset,
That’s a great way to see it! It’s amazing how the whole core point of this universe is built around friendship and on giving one’s self up for another and not expecting to receive anything in return, aka friendship. That helps me rationalize that if the whole point of the universe is centered around that one idea, that a creator of the universe might have been the first to show us such an example of friendship. When the Creator came down here to earth in the form of Jesus and laid his life down on the brutal horrible cross so that there would be a way out for us so we don’t have to bear the penalty of our sins for eternity in hell, it was the strongest example of friendship in eternity. I don’t think I have any friends that would ever do that for me. It’s hard for me to rationalize that we would have a conscience and a built-in moral code of right and wrong that even animals do not have if perhaps a creator did not put it in our minds from the beginning of time when he created us. We can all understand what a sin is without anyone telling us what’s right or wrong. If we are breaking the law of friendship and harming someone else or ourselves and we can, through our conscience, understand that it’s a sin. And there must be consequences for those sins, or why would we feel bad and morally wrong when we commit them? Just like there’s jail down here on earth there must be some sort of eternal punishment for those sins which can be pretty horrific that man has committed against each other. If there are consequences down here on earth there must be consequences after we have finished up the work of our life. Through our sins we deserve hell but only one took all of our sins upon himself, and paid the price of hell for us on the cross. God himself in true friendship came down to us through Jesus to pay the price for our sins. What a loving example of friendship for all of us to understand. This is all laid out beautifully in the Bible, A perfect study guide on how to be a true friend. Our creator is at the heart of friendship🙂
Much love!!!
He's the most inspiring person I'v ever watched until now. I Always feeling thrilled and satisfied when hearing her speaking even my life gets me down all the time.
Semper Fidelis from this U.S. Marine Veteran. Yes, it's about making sure that I do for those who are watching my back. It's about do more for others first than for myself..It's hard for civilians to understand. I don't like people who feel entitled, entitled to have without working for it.
LOL. Unless that “civilian” is a mom. We do it every day, without pay, often without thanks. Definitely without expecting our children to have our backs....at least until they’re grown.
AWESOME STUFF. Why are our schools not teaching this stuff to our children? This is how we build a better world. Doing good for others is simple stuff. Let us make a better world by living just this - doing something for others. Well done. Excellent presentation.
Teachers teach this and provide opportunities for this all the time. Extracurriculars have this. But school can only do so much. Ones own family and peer group can reinforce or splinter these ideas.
At my job in the Food Industry I'm fairly low on the totem pole, however I've been there long enough that others around me are beginning to consider me competent in what I do and are going to me to pass on what knowledge I have of my job to other. For the longest time I've considered one of our newer workers incompetent and lazy and always on their phone. This lecture was hugely eye-opening and gives me a new perspective on my relationships with others around me.
Obrigado!
Simon Sinek is a true Legend. He's the ideal role model many people look upto. Truly inspiring session.
"Absolutely inspiring! Simon Sinek always knows how to make you rethink your approach to life."
Simon is a nice down-to-earth guy who can spot heroes in people we usually take for granted and not give them the due respect :)

I am not a Doctor but even I get mad when I hear someone say "I want to be a Doctor to make a lot of money" thats a huge slap to all the Doctors who went through sometimes decades of training. I don't think you can be a doctor for only the money, you have to have a certain passion for helping people. Not everyone has that, atleast I know I don't. So thanks to all the Doctors.
@Ace J. 7 Million Where I live you need 6 years for basic medical training. Then another 6 years to become a surgeon. Then probably more training to keep up. So that's at least 12 years but probably more. Two decades isn't unrealistic.

Kindness is the path to happiness. Kindness is the metric of morality. Happiness is the metric for life.
Since I’ve been asked a lot: I will always advise, we buy stock in several companies that make products & services that *you* believe in. Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
what i think you need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any stock you buy at any time and you'd sure be in Profit

MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED BY THIS VIDEO. I will be truly happy very soon now.
Same here, i Will dedicate my life to change others with this knowlage
Are you happy now ?
How awesome to hear this. God bless you beautiful soul. Keep going ☺🙏🙌
How to apply this though?
Thank you Simon for this! I was given many management duties while my boss is on leave, and I felt like I had no idea how to be a good leader at work. My boss actually is the one who inspired me to even be willing to try to lead, he uses these principles all the time. I've used them in my life but never understood how to apply them properly in a work situation. Passing kindness on is an integral part of happiness, for me at least. And I had never thought of the job of management as bringing out the best in people before I worked with my current manager, I always thought it meant just getting people to do their work and coaching them if needed. And I hadn't thought of putting people in situations where they could fail as being positive until I heard your reasons. I believe this will help me become a better leader, even if it is a temporary position for me the skills apply at any level.
Absolutely
You gave words to what I was feeling inside about relationships, trust and bonding. True relationships last a lifetime and are not built on shallow foundation of short-term gains. You have to invest your precious time and energy to build it brick by brick. It requires a lot of selflessness & team-spirit for one to achieve that nirvana state of mind. Thank you.
You just helped me understand what my gen z sons need from me.
It broke my heart to hear. I’ve been demanding respect, they’ve been asking for love.
This helps so much in emailing people that you haven't spoken to in years. Ask first, then wish them well. Excellent
High school had no such moments for me, but once I got a job my supervisor was one of the greatest mentors and man ive ever had the honor of knowing. Alot of who I am was forged in those years.
You have so much to offer to our world, which is crumbling down. Thank you for this video.
I've been telling my boss I was going to talk about the work place problems that tragically, sometimes end in a divorce, or children not wanting to be with parents at a young age!
I'm glad to hear someone is already out there with the message!!😘
Never in my life, am i ever gonna listen such an amazing, genuinely honest and wise talk!!!
Listen to this man!!! I hate my job, from the beginning of the day till done!! Effects every aspect of my life!!!
Simon Sinek! I follow your work closely, ever since that first TED talk on WHY, and I've benefited SO SO SO much over the years!
And this talk is absolutely THE ONE that I needed just now!
Puts everything in place - in my head! It feels like this giant jigsaw puzzle in my head finally has all its parts in place! I've always been that person to help the guy with the papers he dropped, and people have always said to me, oh, you are too good, people are taking advantage of you! But it never felt like that for me! I always knew better - because my grandparents and my parents were just like the people you describe: giving without EVER expecting anything in return. Helping whenever they could, simply because they could! However, this talk cleared for me other aspects of it all, and for this I am forever grateful! So much stuff to pass on to my grandkids
Simon sinek! I recomand you to see how see how God told us to follow the wright path , and to handle these problems in Quran .(surah 1, "Albaqrah").
Help someone to help others ...

How are there 1.3K people that gave this a thumbs down...such a great, valuable talk...thank you Simon for how you make us look at things in a different and more inclusive way.
Because of the algorithm if you want you tube to stop sending you a certain type of video you have to give it a thumbs down. Your right though this guy is amazing.
As a US Marine, I approve this message.
Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.
Talking about opportunities investing in crypto currency now should be in every wise individuals list. In two to three years time you might be estactic with the decision made today
Truth, it is really profitable as an investment.
It’s fortunate that many of us are still confused about crypto currency while others are busy earning from it
You can't be confused when you're guided by a pro
I remember friends calling me crazy when I started investing in bitcoin now I shut them up with my 4 figures weekly returns.
I'm 13 but this will change my life and put me on a better path thanks Simon

And believe me... Im not in a great place..but When I pay for ppl behind us in drive thru, I feel better♡
Funny thing is without this digital world we would not be able to listen these wonderful motivational videos.
That's true but this caused you to comment which in turn made me comment to you so it's some kind of human interaction... Right?
Like this is recorded, it was a live event, in person, its even in writing, but yes also video digital as well.
😂
Digital world isn't the problem. Not by itself. Only the amount can make it poisonous.
Finally, I found a human being who truly cares about others. I hope we will work together someday for the same vision.
We will get there, its got to happen!
Saw Simon on the subway in October coming back from dinner, really nice dude.
wow...goodness never rots..listening this in 2020 and feels fresh...Just hit on a quote that good intentions will always meet good intentions
Whoever you are who can't sleep tonight, is tired or sad, believe that there will be tomorrow that will light up your beautiful days.
You just need to endure a little more, a little more, and a little more ...
Thank you for being patient, thank you for being able to survive. And as you read this, promise yourself that you will be able to get through your toughest days in the future.
Promise to keep smiling, no matter how you are ...
You deserve to be happy :)
Thank u i really need these motivation..godbless
Simon is so inspiring. I wish everyone could hear him speak. The world would be a better place.
The real secret to happiness and success. This man Godly wisdom.
Great motivational video with Simon Sinek! "If you actually want to build relationships, you build them without wanting anything." I love truly *listening* to my employees because I want to get to know them and help them reach their own potential. What are they passionate about? What motivates them? We're here to help each other reach our full potential and follow our dreams :) looking forward to more motivating content!
Very informative and great videos you have over on your channel!
wow very thought provoking. to be an encourager... allow them to fail then help them achieve. doing something nice...
I thought this was 4 minutes long. Stayed here for the entire 40. Highly appreciated.
I so love this guy - he has such great ideas, and solutions. Everyone should be checking out these talks.
I've been struggling with knee pain and have a scooter to get around now, I was off work for a month because of the pain and when I came back,one of the judges bought me a coffee. Couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day.

Well, I guess no one at my previous job trusted anyone in the building. NO ONE did anything extra for anyone else. No. One. I came along and attempted to change the culture with simple acts of kindness and I got let go with little explanation 🤷🏼♀️
Hey guys! I know this video is old, but I'd like to share something. At 15:48, Simon starts a reflection on "that one teacher who took you under their wing" and "helped you realize that you are capable or more than you thought you were". In 2021, I sent this to my English teacher from 2005 back in my home town. He was going through a lot and his mental health was not in good shape. I didn't know this since I unfortunately hadn't talked to him in decades. A day later I receive a message from a close friend telling me he is friends with my old teacher and that he couldn't stop crying. He told me he felt he was worth something again. I'll never in my life forget this video's advince as to what really is the responsability of a manager, which I have turned into today (as in it really is today).
Simon sinek is becoming one of my favorite speakers. I’ve only watched a few videos but I am loving him
Simon reminds us that we are humans beings first and foremost. Nothing else we achieve compares when we realise the fullness of our individual and collective humanity.
Thank you so much Simon for your life advice and wisdom. I will not only learn them for myself but definitely will pass on to my children as well!!!
16:16 Yes, I'm the one who I'm now, mainly because of my high school teacher Orynsha Seitovna. May God bless her.
Brilliant!!! The more I listen to Simon, it is as if he is pulling me out of the fog I've been in that is corporate america. Not sure if I'd call it a "philosophy" since he backs everything up with facts and science.
The crazy thing is that I see Simon's ideas as so spot on and impactful that everyone would want to learn and embrace. However, when I show his videos to some of my staff, they aren't affected in the same way. I don't see how this can be. But, it sure is a clear sign that we don't hold the same core values.
I see a great challenge to be uncovering your own purpose that is succinct enough to apply to your personal life and at work. Life changing insights. Thanks Simon!!!
Not everyone will understand. Some people will understand one moment, and unfortunately not everyone will get to understand.
This is the same principle of love that what’s the Bible preach. That’s true that there’s more happiness in giving and loving, helping others
overcome idealization, Simon word only covers half of what makes us a human, thats why we have social contracts and the fact that they are under stress all the time.
Best video ever watched in these past 2 years (meaning: since the 1st day I was given another chance to live). Thank you for uploading it, and pls always keet it available, so it can touch and inspire more and more ppl! God bless you!
There's a market place nearby the metro station I live next to and every time I come down to the metro and see elderly women carry their heavy wheeled bags with groceries down the stairs, I come up to them and take their bags downstairs. I must admit, it gives me a lot of saticfaction.
That's the blessing you get...you feel good for doing what is the right thing!!
I was thinking about these things today and this video came up. Crazy in the best possible way! feeling that you're not the only one thinking a certain way is what you need to make your day and week and it's what you crave the most when you feel the world is going in the opposite direction you have set in your head.
THANK YOU for not putting music behind this. Too many motivational videos put some loud music that’s distracting.
There was music and it was distracting. That's why I did not finish watching
art thou deaf?
Yeah, it's very faint, but even me with one good ear, ringing with tinnitus, can hear some music and WISH LIKE HELL I could turn it off (the ADHD won't let it go).
Fenna Dikketetten she said loud music
Very faint music in the background and it fit well with this video, wasn't a distraction for me.
Simon….you are an inspiring speaker. I, too, am a public speaker. You have a communication crutch that is not necessary. You often finish a thought/sentence with the word “right!” It is like you are asking the audience to confirm what you already know. It is not necessary! I hope this is helpful!
Simon Sinek is very articulate and helpful to explain fulfillment!
Thank you Sir Simon... Just found you today... I like what I am hearing... I am now a believer... I will look out for all of yours...
Another awesome video from Simon, an incredible man of faith, courage, and morality. He does the right thing and tells it like it is.
This guy is a solid genius. A goliath public speaker. This talk made me go through all the emotions. We should absolutely refuse to work the way we do and accept emotional abuse day in and day out. Simon Sinek has *all* of the priorities straight and is an incredibly charismatic and passionate guy. I am so grateful that he is well-known and that we get to listen to powerful reminders such as this for free. Thank you Simon!
hello do you need help on how to get your ex back or restore someone you love
there is a love specialist who helped me get my ex back after 2years of divorce
Text him on WhatsApp
+=2=3=4=8=0=7=0=7=6=8=9=9=2.
he help me out
The first few minutes of his speech are the exact reasons why I left healthcare and joined healthcare IT. I felt like no one actually cared about the clients and it's primarily because the hospitals don't care about the staff. I switched to IT because I'm treated well and I know I'm helping the patients indirectly.
I love how Simon sees through everything to the kernel of truth that ends up defining us as humans. @simonsinek Thankyou for shining a light on work dynamics.
Yes doing good for others
No matter whom you help
Just help for sake of humanity
Words cannot explain what I feel after hearing every word of Simon's speech.
That the feeling of fulfillment comes from taking care of another human being
