I am a bit confuse with what he said about the first part when he was talking about the bagel. He skipped the line to get the bagels, not one but two. In his teaching he said we don’t always have to follow the rules but just as long as we don’t stop someone else (not his exact words but I’m trying to paraphrase) what if the last person in line that waited all this time doesn’t get any because he skipped the line, isn’t that getting in someone else’s way? Hindering someone else’s progress?
Would you say someone who deliberately ran faster in order to get in front of the guy who doesn't happen to be left with a bagel is getting in the way of them too? Hindering their progress in the same way?
@@dalinelightbourne4502 They have the exact same effect. The last person in line might not get any bagels because of them. Isn't that what you were considering? Let's say there's 2 spots to get the same bagels. One where you can take your time, examine them and choose which one you want and another where you're just given a bagel and you go on your way. One forms a queue and on the other one people just get their bagel and leave. No queue forms. Would you say you're worried about the people at the back of the queue not getting any bagels?
@@TunaIRL I guess I’m looking at it differently. If he’s already in line waiting and someone skips the line versus he’s not in the line yet and someone deliberately runs faster to get in the line before him is different. I’m looking at it like I got here first..I was already waiting…waiting on my turn. They have the same effect yes but the way they got to the effect is bothering me
@@dalinelightbourne4502 The person at the end of the queue could've ran faster. Or went to the queue faster instead of talking with their friend for 10 minutes and then getting into it. Or any other thing they could've done to make sure they get a bagel if they truly want it. Maybe even just go up and take a bagel.
Believe me when I say this regarding your bagels story. I’ve running hundreds of marathons and 8 Ironmans and training endless hours. He was a self centered ass for grabbing bagels out of line and everyone there thought so. 😂 Just being real.
I was thinking the same thing! Like how dare you think it was ok to jump the line just because no one cursed him out. Ppl absolutely cared! That's so rude and nasty and such a narcissistic thing to believe that no one cared that he did that. Gross behavior!
Before you excuse yourself inline and take two bagels: ask yourself Can I be the person who supplies the bagels for free? The answer is, yes I can. No need to take what you don't need when there is plenty for everyone. The story of the five loaves and fishes came to mind. (Not particularly a religious person) The moral of the story is, no need to grab or be impatient with what your heart desires, The Univers is in constant supply.

Simon's lesson about practicing empathy and understanding others' perspectives is a game-changer. This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to become a better leader. Thank you for these valuable insights
Wow, this video is a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice! Simon Sinek never fails to inspire. His compelling stories and insightful rules for life remind us that real success is about breaking the norm, taking responsibility, and genuinely caring for others. The bagel story perfectly encapsulates the essence of going after what you want without hindering others. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, the simplest actions can lead to profound insights. His perspectives on leadership, empathy, and the importance of being present are truly transformative. This isn't just a video; it's a wake-up call to rethink our values and strive for a meaningful, interconnected life. Thank you for sharing this; it’s a must-watch for anyone committed to personal and professional growth!
I call that going WESTERN! When I'm at a concert, I don't wait in line. I walk right up to the front by the guy in line, his stuff, and mine, and everyone is happy. I got what I wanted, didn't wait in line, and made a guy happy. Win-win-win! Look at the world's magic, look, and keep looking. You will find the magic!

To get optimum satisfaction as also to ascribe some semblance of authenticity to it, why don't someone put this question to one's own conscience ! Because, conscience never lies ; provided, ofcourse, someone has any !

Simon Sinek’s talk about 50 minutes shaping the next 50 years is inspiring, but it feels like it oversimplifies how long-lasting change actually happens. Life is unpredictable, and no single talk or moment can guarantee success or transformation over decades. Are we creating unrealistic expectations for people, making them believe that one session or insight will magically fix their future? Maybe we should emphasize the importance of consistent effort, adaptability, and ongoing learning instead of focusing on a single transformative moment.
You bring up a valid point-lasting change requires consistent effort, not just one inspiring talk or moment. Simon Sinek’s message is likely about sparking a mindset shift that serves as a foundation for ongoing growth, rather than suggesting that 50 minutes alone will determine an entire future. It’s about planting seeds of motivation and intention that, when nurtured with effort and adaptability, can lead to meaningful, long-term impact. Transformation is a journey, and this talk is just a catalyst for that process
I cannot take the tip skipping line and take bagel. If it is allowed, there is no line but chaos. Most people just want two free bagels, not have to be certain type. Getting what we want in life should not take advantage of not being ethical. Most people just assume that sneaky in and grab bengals are not allowed, not ethical. They are the honest tax payers, desirable citizens. Bad tip for public but truly that’s most successful people take. They shed that part never want to mention it later.

It’s interesting how you chose the example that you wouldn’t do. You actually spent a couple of minutes of your valuable time.. Instead, focus on the good things that you agree on and you will go further
re: the bagels. The philosopher Kant, while often flawed, presented a moral argument that would be very applicable here. Kant introduced a thing called the Categorical Imperative, which loosely says that a thing passes a test of ethics, if everyone were to do it. So, imagine if everyone stepped up and reached through a line of people to get themselves a bagel instead of waiting their turn in an orderly way! Chaos. Simon has good words, usually. However, his illustration of the bagel story is NOT his best advice.
@@gregorymiron8116 yes, but it was not simon's point that "no one is perfect" or that we are all "part of the human condition". His point was that people should think outside the box more, which usually is good advice, except in THIS case, it's terrible advice, because he tries to justify seeing past the obstacle to his desire (people in line to get free bagels) by just jumping the line and helping himself. If that is his best example for thinking "past one's obstacles", then he is a dimwit, because the lineup is there to keep things orderly and fair and what he did was to be disorderly and unfair. period.
01:12 - 01:48: There’s two ways to see the world: some people see the thing they want, while others only see the obstacle in the way. I could only see the bagels, and my friend could only see the line. Failure was once my heaviest burden, holding me back. But I learned that every setback was just a lesson, a stepping stone. I didn’t overcome failure; I used it to build my strength, turning each fall into fuel for the journey ahead.
Rule 1- do what you have to do but don’t get in anyone else’s way 2- Oliver Wendell Holmes and the Black Death of childbed. Sometimes you are the problem; take responsibility. Credit and accountability 3- take care of each other like Navy seals 4- nelson Mandela- learn to listen, be the last to speak
Agreed. And the other person didn't just see the line, they saw what more joyful things they could do with their time than wait for something they didn't really want; they valued their quality time over a food item they didn't want, or need.
Peacefully, I think you guys missed the point of that story and how these events are set up, they did not cut anybody or cause anybody to wait longer than they would have. They just took some initiative.
One doesn't want the bagel enough to wait, so the other just parts two people, grabs two bagels and thats called initiative. "No one said anything (to a white guy) or had to wait longer. "
iAm 1/3 in and iAm sO happy to hear this! I do not usually hear people calling it as it is thAt sincerely. Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely delicious to hear someone speak the way I feel and live!
As a 60 years old man who broke each and everyone of these rules, I can tell that they are true. Advice for the young: do not be fooled by anything else. Follow these rules by the letter. If it means losing somebody, so be it. They were not worthy.
In 2024,don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser.there expertise ensure a solid plan for success.Building wealth involves developing good habits like regular putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start.Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?
I agree, based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $1m in a well-diversified portfolio, that has experienced exponential growth. It is not only about having money to invest in stocks but also you need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

To everyone focusing on the “skipping of the line for the free bagel”, you’re proving the very point of the story. The focus is on the negative of the story and you’re having difficulties seeing anything but that. Take a moment and readjust your perspective. Listen a few more times and really grasp the point of that story. I’ve got faith in some of you 🥂
i think that its a multifaceted teaching. firstly, time is valuable. assess if wasting ur time to get something for free is worth it, especially bc a bagel isnt even costly or beneficial. however, try to get it before you decide its not worth your time. ive never heard of cutting a line peacefully esp to receive something for free, but thats why this is an anecdote and not factual.
I agree. The point to me was to focus on the fact that, yes, you can have anything that you want. HOWEVER, it must not stop or get in the way of someone else getting what they want in life as well. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you look at it.
Ahhh the free bagel, yes. For those who had been in a run and get freebies (drinks/foods) will know. U can que to get your choices or just grab and go. Sometimes I queue and sometimes i just grab and go. Thanks Simon
Lol, that's just impudence and total disrespect for other people. If you don't want to spend your time queuing for a free bagel, you can go and buy it with your own money. Otherwise you are no different than animals who just take what they want.
The video is about 5 lessons learned from Simon Sinek. Here are the lessons: Rule number one: go after what you want. Don't be afraid to break the rules as long as you don't get in the way of others. Rule number two: take accountability for your actions, both good and bad. Rule number three: take care of each other. Help others and ask for help when you need it. Rule number four: practice empathy and perspective taking. Understand where others are coming from. Rule number five: focus on serving others. True meaning in life comes from helping others.
There are a lot of people who use not wanting to cry alone to get attention. Newsflash people it’s exhausting for the rest of us. We just resolve out minor issues on our own. Yes definitely reach out if it’s something major it stop burdening everyone with your little problems. Develop a spiritual center and a philosophy that gets you through the time, so you don’t have to demand attention from others
This video is incredibly inspiring! Simon Sinek's rule about asking for help and being vulnerable really hit home. It's a powerful reminder that we don't have to do everything alone. Thanks for sharing such profound wisdom!"
I loved this video! The story about the SEALs was especially impactful. It taught me that true strength comes from within, not from external appearances. Being genuine and humble is key to real success
IMO the bagel story is a huge red flag about integrity. It may reveal a (most often hidden) egocentric drive within this speaker. Another huge red flag is thinking this would be a good lesson to impart to others. Skipping to the front of the line is definitely putting yourself before others and very possibly stealing someone else's opportunity. It's not "Isn't it great that I think outside the box?" Everyone else has the same thought. "I dont want to wait on this line", but the others exercise self restraint which allows an orderly system for everyone.
The bagel example is a poor example. By taking bagels ahead of your turn you are literally preventing others from getting their turn and possibly their bagel if there wasn't enough. Surely there are examples where you can "bend" the rules and not harm others (get in their way)?? After all, if you'd been faster (worked harder) you would have been further ahead in the line
If you did that in Lithuania, you'd get a punch in the face, they'd take away your bagel, and you'd go to the back of the line.🤠 That would be a lesson for you to follow the rules and respect others.

@@LinlinArtChannel I'm not saying there aren't good ideas here, just that that particular example does not make a good point. His Leaders Eat Last is an excellent book on leadership.
Thank you for sharing Simon Sinek’s powerful and relatable message. His words of wisdom are compelling and bound to leave a lasting impact on anyone who hears them, just like me. I will pass it on. 🥰🧘🏼♂️
SIMON YOU HAVE GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION!! Thank you for the fantastic video. Please there is a correction to be made. The man discovered the significance of washing hand was a Hungarian doctor, Dr Semmelweis who was laughed out of his field for the idea of washing hands would be the solution.
Yes, Florence Nightingale was credited with improving hand washing in war hospitals (particularly the Crimea) to reduce infections. It’s just as important today but pre 1920’s (when antibiotics came in) more so.
This was so powerful and so true , he talks to you so you can understand things , mental fitness is normal to work on and yes its ok to feel , great to lean to grow thank you.
The bagel story: better ending would’ve been instead of waiting in the queue for 60 minutes, value your time and buy one. It cost way less than what you can own in 60 minutes. What value do you put on your time. Unless of course you want to socialise in the queue and enjoy the downtime. Pushing the queue, jumping ahead no matter how dressed up he put it, it was morally wrong.
LOL, the bagel story! There’s no transaction occurring so even a long line will move quickly. My dog taught me to never reach for food in front of him. Homey don’t play that game. 😂✅
Once again, thank you Simon. I wish our company president could see and really hear this. He really needs to. I'd probably be told that if I am unhappy - there's the door.
I paused at the bagel example. It did not resonate with my values. Whilst I don’t approve it, I learnt a lesson to focus on the bagel and not the queue in life.
"In today's world, we've normalized damaging corporate practices and technology addictions that erode trust, relationships, and mental health. To thrive, we must foster supportive environments that prioritize empathy, patience, and meaningful human connections over instant gratification and short-term gains."
Fantastic content! The anecdote about the foam cup was a great reminder that the respect and privileges we receive are tied to our position, not our person. Staying humble and grounded is so important.
Well you write very well,better than many first language speakers. as a monolingual person I am always impressed by those who take the time to learn a second language. Keep up the work and translate what u can to others. Peace
These are some great concepts but I feel like instead of motivating to move forward it holds on to the past. The world is evolving, and so must our values. Instead of clinging to outdated ideals, we should embrace change and adapt, reinventing what greatness means in today’s reality. Tradition had its time, but now is the moment to build something new, something that truly reflects the world we live in.
Leadership is a skill like any other is a practicable and it is something you work on like muscles . If u practice all the days , you will get good at it and you will get to become a strong leader and if you will stop practicing you will become a weak leader
You overlooked the point that by doing so, he forewent being able to CHOOSE the type of bagel he got by just helping himself...the people in the line held their place so that they could choose the flavour they most liked..nobody's going to beat someone up for that, be annoyed maybe, but also begrudgingly admitting to themselves that they too could help themselves if it didn't matter to them to accept whatever they got by random
One, If its s crime just mske sure u can get away with it..(2) make sure its really ur fault (3) make sure the one ur helping, wont pull u down (4) make sure ur opinion was not already mentioned..(5) if U ARE RICH U WILL HAVE UR OWN ' GOLDEN CUP'...
Oliver Wendell Holmes was not the first person to identify the cause of childbed fever that plagued maternity wards in the 1840's. The first person to connect that it was the medical caregivers who caused blood poisoning as they moved from autopsy to childbirth wards, was actually a hungarian named Ignaz Semmelweis. Unfortunately Semmelweis suffered the fate of many first innovators. He is mostly unknown and not credited with this discovery, that cleanliness is the cure for this widespread malady. In fact he was fired for calling out the members of the medical profession, the very caregivers who attended the maternity wards. Semmelweis was committed to an insane asylum where he died.

Wow, this video is a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice! Simon Sinek never fails to inspire. His compelling stories and insightful rules for life remind us that real success is about breaking the norm, taking responsibility, and genuinely caring for others. The bagel story perfectly encapsulates the essence of going after what you want without hindering others. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, the simplest actions can lead to profound insights. His perspectives on leadership, empathy, and the importance of being present are truly transformative. This isn't just a video; it's a wake-up call to rethink our values and strive for a meaningful, interconnected life. Thank you for sharing this; it’s a must-watch for anyone committed to personal and professional growth!
I call that going WESTERN! When I'm at a concert, I don't wait in line. I walk right up to the front by the guy in line, his stuff, and mine, and everyone is happy. I got what I wanted, didn't wait in line, and made a guy happy. Win-win-win! Look at the world's magic, look, and keep looking. You will find the magic!

Simon Sinek’s talk about 50 minutes shaping the next 50 years is inspiring, but it feels like it oversimplifies how long-lasting change actually happens. Life is unpredictable, and no single talk or moment can guarantee success or transformation over decades. Are we creating unrealistic expectations for people, making them believe that one session or insight will magically fix their future? Maybe we should emphasize the importance of consistent effort, adaptability, and ongoing learning instead of focusing on a single transformative moment.
You bring up a valid point-lasting change requires consistent effort, not just one inspiring talk or moment. Simon Sinek’s message is likely about sparking a mindset shift that serves as a foundation for ongoing growth, rather than suggesting that 50 minutes alone will determine an entire future. It’s about planting seeds of motivation and intention that, when nurtured with effort and adaptability, can lead to meaningful, long-term impact. Transformation is a journey, and this talk is just a catalyst for that process
I cannot take the tip skipping line and take bagel. If it is allowed, there is no line but chaos. Most people just want two free bagels, not have to be certain type. Getting what we want in life should not take advantage of not being ethical. Most people just assume that sneaky in and grab bengals are not allowed, not ethical. They are the honest tax payers, desirable citizens. Bad tip for public but truly that’s most successful people take. They shed that part never want to mention it later.
😊
Yep.
This video is full of practical advice! The idea of practicing being the last to speak in a conversation to truly understand others is brilliant. It's a simple yet profound way to improve communication and leadership skills.
It’s interesting how you chose the example that you wouldn’t do. You actually spent a couple of minutes of your valuable time..
Instead, focus on the good things that you agree on and you will go further
re: the bagels. The philosopher Kant, while often flawed, presented a moral argument that would be very applicable here. Kant introduced a thing called the Categorical Imperative, which loosely says that a thing passes a test of ethics, if everyone were to do it. So, imagine if everyone stepped up and reached through a line of people to get themselves a bagel instead of waiting their turn in an orderly way! Chaos. Simon has good words, usually. However, his illustration of the bagel story is NOT his best advice.
Exactly!!!
I was struggling to make this point. Thank you for stating it so elegantly and backing yourself up with Kant's "thing".
Regarding the bagel story the reality of life is that no one is perfect in thought or in actions. We are all part of the human condition
@@gregorymiron8116 yes, but it was not simon's point that "no one is perfect" or that we are all "part of the human condition". His point was that people should think outside the box more, which usually is good advice, except in THIS case, it's terrible advice, because he tries to justify seeing past the obstacle to his desire (people in line to get free bagels) by just jumping the line and helping himself. If that is his best example for thinking "past one's obstacles", then he is a dimwit, because the lineup is there to keep things orderly and fair and what he did was to be disorderly and unfair. period.
Thank you Simon. I admire you're courage to let everyone know how to be a leader.
Simon Sinek, fifty minutes to explore,
In every lesson, futures soar.
With each insight gained, life's path appears,
In Sinek's wisdom, conquer fears.
01:12 - 01:48: There’s two ways to see the world: some people see the thing they want, while others only see the obstacle in the way. I could only see the bagels, and my friend could only see the line.
Failure was once my heaviest burden, holding me back. But I learned that every setback was just a lesson, a stepping stone. I didn’t overcome failure; I used it to build my strength, turning each fall into fuel for the journey ahead.
Rule
1- do what you have to do but don’t get in anyone else’s way
2- Oliver Wendell Holmes and the Black Death of childbed. Sometimes you are the problem; take responsibility. Credit and accountability
3- take care of each other like Navy seals
4- nelson Mandela- learn to listen, be the last to speak
Jumping the queue to get a free bagel. This tells you all about this person you need to know.
Agreed. And the other person didn't just see the line, they saw what more joyful things they could do with their time than wait for something they didn't really want; they valued their quality time over a food item they didn't want, or need.
Peacefully, I think you guys missed the point of that story and how these events are set up, they did not cut anybody or cause anybody to wait longer than they would have. They just took some initiative.
You're missing the point here. Maybe you already know all you need to know about life. So this video is NOT for you.
Exactly what I thought. Moves to another video after I heard this. He must not be from the US otherwise he would not be giving this advice now
One doesn't want the bagel enough to wait, so the other just parts two people, grabs two bagels and thats called initiative. "No one said anything (to a white guy) or had to wait longer. "
iAm 1/3 in and iAm sO happy to hear this! I do not usually hear people calling it as it is thAt sincerely. Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely delicious to hear someone speak the way I feel and live!
As a 60 years old man who broke each and everyone of these rules, I can tell that they are true. Advice for the young: do not be fooled by anything else. Follow these rules by the letter. If it means losing somebody, so be it. They were not worthy.
In 2024,don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser.there expertise ensure a solid plan for success.Building wealth involves developing good habits like regular putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start.Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?
I agree, based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $1m in a well-diversified portfolio, that has experienced exponential growth. It is not only about having money to invest in stocks but also you need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

To everyone focusing on the “skipping of the line for the free bagel”, you’re proving the very point of the story. The focus is on the negative of the story and you’re having difficulties seeing anything but that. Take a moment and readjust your perspective. Listen a few more times and really grasp the point of that story. I’ve got faith in some of you 🥂
❤❤❤❤❤ you are genius
This!!! Well said...
i think that its a multifaceted teaching. firstly, time is valuable. assess if wasting ur time to get something for free is worth it, especially bc a bagel isnt even costly or beneficial. however, try to get it before you decide its not worth your time. ive never heard of cutting a line peacefully esp to receive something for free, but thats why this is an anecdote and not factual.
I agree. The point to me was to focus on the fact that, yes, you can have anything that you want. HOWEVER, it must not stop or get in the way of someone else getting what they want in life as well. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you look at it.
Or it prove that lot of people does not use critical thinking.
Grabbing those bagels in the hood would not have ended so peacefully 😂
Ahhh the free bagel, yes. For those who had been in a run and get freebies (drinks/foods) will know. U can que to get your choices or just grab and go. Sometimes I queue and sometimes i just grab and go. Thanks Simon
Lol, that's just impudence and total disrespect for other people. If you don't want to spend your time queuing for a free bagel, you can go and buy it with your own money. Otherwise you are no different than animals who just take what they want.
11:35 I don’t like this metaphor. I make sure I give myself stuff and a ceramic cup ❤
The video is about 5 lessons learned from Simon Sinek. Here are the lessons:
Rule number one: go after what you want. Don't be afraid to break the rules as long as you don't get in the way of others.
Rule number two: take accountability for your actions, both good and bad.
Rule number three: take care of each other. Help others and ask for help when you need it.
Rule number four: practice empathy and perspective taking. Understand where others are coming from.
Rule number five: focus on serving others. True meaning in life comes from helping others.
There are a lot of people who use not wanting to cry alone to get attention. Newsflash people it’s exhausting for the rest of us. We just resolve out minor issues on our own. Yes definitely reach out if it’s something major it stop burdening everyone with your little problems. Develop a spiritual center and a philosophy that gets you through the time, so you don’t have to demand attention from others
This video is incredibly inspiring! Simon Sinek's rule about asking for help and being vulnerable really hit home. It's a powerful reminder that we don't have to do everything alone. Thanks for sharing such profound wisdom!"
I loved this video! The story about the SEALs was especially impactful. It taught me that true strength comes from within, not from external appearances. Being genuine and humble is key to real success
Thank you for your most valuable advice. I do my best to be that way with my friends old & new. Empathy is a good medicine for both sides. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
IMO the bagel story is a huge red flag about integrity. It may reveal a (most often hidden) egocentric drive within this speaker. Another huge red flag is thinking this would be a good lesson to impart to others. Skipping to the front of the line is definitely putting yourself before others and very possibly stealing someone else's opportunity. It's not "Isn't it great that I think outside the box?" Everyone else has the same thought. "I dont want to wait on this line", but the others exercise self restraint which allows an orderly system for everyone.
Iuiiuuuuiiiuiiiuuuuuuiiky😮iu😅y😅no yup I uh iyyyuyi I just i😢and que my
The bagel example is a poor example. By taking bagels ahead of your turn you are literally preventing others from getting their turn and possibly their bagel if there wasn't enough. Surely there are examples where you can "bend" the rules and not harm others (get in their way)?? After all, if you'd been faster (worked harder) you would have been further ahead in the line
If you did that in Lithuania, you'd get a punch in the face, they'd take away your bagel, and you'd go to the back of the line.🤠 That would be a lesson for you to follow the rules and respect others.
This video is full of practical advice! The idea of practicing being the last to speak in a conversation to truly understand others is brilliant. It's a simple yet profound way to improve communication and leadership skills.
@@LinlinArtChannel I'm not saying there aren't good ideas here, just that that particular example does not make a good point. His Leaders Eat Last is an excellent book on leadership.
I agree. I am not a big fan of breaking the rules concept just to get what you want. This is so American idio*ology😅
Agree, I was very close to not listening after hearing that example of selfish behaviour
Thanks for the early morning inspiration. Simple life lessons, put across with lot of conviction and clarity.
Thank you for sharing Simon Sinek’s powerful and relatable message. His words of wisdom are compelling and bound to leave a lasting impact on anyone who hears them, just like me. I will pass it on. 🥰🧘🏼♂️
Our pleasure! 🖤
SIMON YOU HAVE GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION!! Thank you for the fantastic video. Please there is a correction to be made. The man discovered the significance of washing hand was a Hungarian doctor, Dr Semmelweis who was laughed out of his field for the idea of washing hands would be the solution.
It was not the man you mentioned. The real man who realized the importance of washing hands was Semmelweis in Hungary.
just what I wanted to add as a comment 🙏
I added this before I saw your comment
I thought it was Florence Nightingale🤔
@@shonaghsoutar5966 I think her contribution was something else. She did similar things in Crimea and India.
Yes, Florence Nightingale was credited with improving hand washing in war hospitals (particularly the Crimea) to reduce infections.
It’s just as important today but pre 1920’s (when antibiotics came in) more so.
One of the best lectures
Wow...I teary-eyed listening to this, truly resonates as a human being, too much accurate. 🙌
This was so powerful and so true , he talks to you so you can understand things , mental fitness is normal to work on and yes its ok to feel , great to lean to grow thank you.
Fwiw, Mental health means it's okay to be sad. It's synonymous with mental fitness.
very rare that someone will help
trust yourself and keep trying
Very grateful to have stumbled upon this today
Secret Pathway To Triumph blew my mind. I’ve shared them with friends, and they’re all amazed at the shifts in their mindset.
The bagel story: better ending would’ve been instead of waiting in the queue for 60 minutes, value your time and buy one. It cost way less than what you can own in 60 minutes. What value do you put on your time. Unless of course you want to socialise in the queue and enjoy the downtime. Pushing the queue, jumping ahead no matter how dressed up he put it, it was morally wrong.
😊
Yes.
There is 50 minutes of pure gold advise and some people in comments are just hung up on the bagels
BEST SINEK VIDEO EVER!!! 🤩 PURE GOLD 🥹🥰✨
LOL, the bagel story! There’s no transaction occurring so even a long line will move quickly. My dog taught me to never reach for food in front of him. Homey don’t play that game. 😂✅
Thank you Simon. I love your videos
Once again, thank you Simon. I wish our company president could see and really hear this. He really needs to. I'd probably be told that if I am unhappy - there's the door.
You are blessed to have friends who care about you your tears and worries ...... think for who is alone
Beautiful message!
I will work to earn and buy bagels. I will not waste time in a line to get it "free". That's the attitude of Simon's friend, and I like it.
The concept of Secret Pathway To Triumph blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for financial abundance.
I paused at the bagel example. It did not resonate with my values. Whilst I don’t approve it, I learnt a lesson to focus on the bagel and not the queue in life.
So true. You made me cry and... think
Grateful to watch this video,this is a great message for everyone,thank you simon❤
Thanks, really inspiring thoughts, hard truth, but we can change in better for us and other people!
Such great content. .This should be required listening for every leader!
"In today's world, we've normalized damaging corporate practices and technology addictions that erode trust, relationships, and mental health. To thrive, we must foster supportive environments that prioritize empathy, patience, and meaningful human connections over instant gratification and short-term gains."
Brilliant and authentic. Resonated so much. Thank you Simon
Thank you Simon. This changes everything.
This has really touched me so much.. so much relating to my life. Working hard to be a better version of myself
I’m so glad I watched this!
thanks for wonderful and precious life changers God bless you Simon. I pledge will put this in my life and enjoy sitting in mud👍
I enjoyed that and thanked a friend for listening to me
Thank you that was absolutely Inspirational!!!! ❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's amazing, the blogger is really creative and worth watching
Thank you for sharing such a powerful motivational speech; it has changed my perspective.
How is this having such an emotional effect on me? Damn.
Bc u gay bro
Fantastic content! The anecdote about the foam cup was a great reminder that the respect and privileges we receive are tied to our position, not our person. Staying humble and grounded is so important.
That was a harsh and much needed reminder. I hope that will stick with me.
I appreciate this video but i have one problem i can't speak english well but i'm working on it
Well you write very well,better than many first language speakers. as a monolingual person I am always impressed by those who take the time to learn a second language. Keep up the work and translate what u can to others.
Peace
I appreciate your support so I want to ask you something I you don't mind which social media can I talk with native like you ?
These are some great concepts but I feel like instead of motivating to move forward it holds on to the past. The world is evolving, and so must our values. Instead of clinging to outdated ideals, we should embrace change and adapt, reinventing what greatness means in today’s reality. Tradition had its time, but now is the moment to build something new, something that truly reflects the world we live in.
Very Worth To watch thank you so much for this Video
This video is badass. Thank you for this!!!
You’re welcome 😇
Also, asking for help is humbling. It's not humiliating unless the other person is a jerk about it (thats what humiliating literally means)
You are my inspiration from kenya
Great points!
About point 2 - unfortunately we find too late that the Bible has great life rules. One of them is - to wash after some procedures.
Thank's so much. It was a pin point of true motivation words. 🎉
Leadership is a skill like any other is a practicable and it is something you work on like muscles . If u practice all the days , you will get good at it and you will get to become a strong leader and if you will stop practicing you will become a weak leader
You still prevented other people getting their bagel sooner. I am surprised you didn’t get beaten up for cutting the line
You overlooked the point that by doing so, he forewent being able to CHOOSE the type of bagel he got by just helping himself...the people in the line held their place so that they could choose the flavour they most liked..nobody's going to beat someone up for that, be annoyed maybe, but also begrudgingly admitting to themselves that they too could help themselves if it didn't matter to them to accept whatever they got by random
@@sueheath2621 I see it now - thanks for explaining it and that is actually what I do in my life. Cheers!
Well edited version
Awesome and inspirational conversation about leadership and friendship!
I wish I had one friend like the one he speaks of being❤
Become that friend and watch what happens;-)
One, If its s crime just mske sure u can get away with it..(2) make sure its really ur fault
(3) make sure the one ur helping, wont pull u down
(4) make sure ur opinion was not already mentioned..(5) if U ARE RICH U WILL HAVE UR OWN ' GOLDEN CUP'...
Thank you
This video is so remarkable for me. thanks a lot!
Oliver Wendell Holmes was not the first person to identify the cause of childbed fever that plagued maternity wards in the 1840's. The first person to connect that it was the medical caregivers who caused blood poisoning as they moved from autopsy to childbirth wards, was actually a hungarian named Ignaz Semmelweis. Unfortunately Semmelweis suffered the fate of many first innovators. He is mostly unknown and not credited with this discovery, that cleanliness is the cure for this widespread malady. In fact he was fired for calling out the members of the medical profession, the very caregivers who attended the maternity wards. Semmelweis was committed to an insane asylum where he died.
Very good information. I like the way of speaking. Can you share if you have speech coach? 😊
Great video! Thank you 😍
You are so welcome! 🖤
Definitely a lot to think about!
