Why should Millennials have to pay their retirement benefits and Medicare we didn't vote for? Unfunded liabilities (Medicare and Social Security) now exceed $100 trillion. The national debt is another $21 trillion-- and when the boomers die, millennials will have to pony up. And then when debt obligations aren't met( because lord knows where millennials come up with the cash) the entire system crashes and these social programs boomers voted for themselves won't exist for millennials. Which bring up another point. Millennials are still struggling to get their first homes due to the great recession. Since 2008 quantitative easing (QE) artificially inflated housing prices. Normally this is CAN be good IF wages keep up with inflation and zoning laws were updated to meet market requirements. Instead, QE drove up asset prices and bailed out baby boomers at the profound political cost of pricing out millennials who were still in college drowning in debt. Inflation made sure millennials couldn't be a stakeholder in their own city. They will tell you "hurrr durrr stoping buying iphones and avocado toast" (the live within your means guy) so that you can afford healthcare, retirement, and housing after paying off your student loans with high interest. Maybe we should stop subsidizing Medicare and give the elderly more math classes because no amount of avocado toast and iPhones will compensate for the inflation boomers created. If millennials were aware of the intergenerational theft thats going on and voted accordingly, boomers would be in serious trouble.
That's what I was taught... and my grandparents who had two (grandma) and three (grandfather) jobs to make it through depression... and they saved and paid cash for their truck.
I watched this video on 2018 and I wasted my year. I watched it on 2019 and I wasted another year again. I'm watching again on 2020 and I believe I found my answer and that is I haven't changed my environment. People take your humble and kindness for weakness and you become the joke of the group where everyone would want to troll with you and as days goes by you suddenly start to overthink all those words what your friends said about you even though you laughed it out at first but those words are starting to bug you now and you're left wondering why you're overthinking. Trust me, if there is anyone in your environment, be it family or friends, and they don't respect you, or make fun of you just because you're that quiet person and they don't know how you feel, bless them and leave them and YOU start focusing on yourself! Love yourself first because those same people who you call family or friends aren't going to pay your future family's bills. It is you who's gonna look after everything. It is you who is in charge of your life! It is you who's 100% responsible for fixing yourself! It is YOU who's they gonna look up to you when you do big! It is all about what you consume. Consume can be what you're feeding to your eyes with negative pictures like Pornography, dirty jokes or dirty movies, negative self talk, negative imaginations like "I can't do this," "I'm not good enough," "He is better than me," "She is better than me," etc! Change everything what you consume by consuming healthy food, healthy sleep, healthy environment, healthy pictures like this video and positive messages etc. Just don't be a slave to the negative environment and replace all your negative self-talks to "I can do this!" "I am blessed!" "I got this!" "I am strong," "I am beautiful," and more! Change your mindset and you will start to see life in different perspective. Godspeed to whoever read my long message and thank you for reading!.
@@Pacou0982 My pleasure and thank you so much for reading my message. I wish you all the best and may you own it whatever you're working for! Take good care and stay strong!
I'm I the only one loving the interviewers' attentiveness. Doesn't interrupt the interviewee. Didn't interrupt the whole 16 mins The interviewee is right on the money! Simon is right on the money.
Yeah! This guy is really good. He is an eg of attentive listener. He hardly interrupts the speaker. He actually shows that he has called them to listen to them.
@@kitchenmarshall3721 Hey man you seem a little tense. Listen, I know it seems like the world is full of pieces of shits trying to take your money to become rich themselves but everything everywhere isn't like that. Let the rich a*holes fight among themselves and you take a back seat sipping on some Pina colada and have a good time. Make friends, find a partner (if one's gone, find the next one), pick up hobbies and passions, make money and buy stuff, etc. That's what life is about.
Not interrupting him was natural and expected. The speaker already said at the beginning that he had four points to make. Naturally, you listen until he's done with all four points and don't interrupt... unless you are a millenial.
Can somebody just really appreciate how awesome the host is? Being an inspirational knowledge reservoir himself, he just gives the guest 100% of stage presence! Hats off 👏
That is a terrible way to be a host, you have to push back, question what Simon is saying even if you totally agree with him. Simon's ideas are always way to easy to pick apart due to the fact he just gets to ramble on without any push back.
@@jakethesnake2x don’t agree to it. If you’ve seen Tom Bilyeu speak, you’ll know he’s no pushover. He has his own ideas and has a very effective way of communicating. The problem is we have mainstreamed this idea of being an intrusive opinionated host so much, that we think being an accommodative host is bad. There are way more examples of hosts being rude and interrupting that we are accustomed to believe that there can be no one to provide a platform for you to be heard. Even Ted Talks have hosts… won’t say they’re doing a bad job. A host is a just a presenter and a platform provider…and being given an opportunity to express yourself is a dying art.
@@Nokitfer not exactly thing we dont need but many people tend to buy overpriced phones, houses, shoes, cars,... when they can just buy a normal-priced one or use an old one with the same capability as an expensive one
My boomer senses are lighten up after 3 seconds of me thinking to buy something useless just because it's trendy or cute(but i'm a millennial) Listen to your parents kids some things they say are hard to hear but hella true.
Delete all social media and engage in face to face real life conversations with people. Make friends and find love. Spend time with your families. There is no better joy in the world then being surrounded with those that love you and those that you love.
People always say social media is a bad thing. It's not a bad thing if you use it for building business and to gain fast attention from promoting a business. If you're using it to post meaningless stuff and it's a distraction from more important things, then yes, social media is a liability and you should delete it.
@@phillop6076 Nah cause other social media like Facebook, Instagram and snapchat makes you too focused on other peoples lives particularly the ones you are friends with and makes you unintentionally want to show off your life. Over time you dont realize it but those social media apps make you want to live for people. Thats why you only post good things. If they are genuine and real then post a selfie of yourself right when you wake up to show the world how scattered your face is. The only time that is done is when it is sent to really close friends.
My grandfather (silent gen) didn't say much but most importantly didn't take in much from the world but always gave what he could to others. I think that's the greatest lesson I learned from him.
As an alcoholic (almost 2 years sober), this is 100% accurate. I had to find a new solution to life, myself, my problems... I live a life of gratitude now. This video is awesome.
I am 30 years old and a Construction Supervisor. Most times when I get a call or text it is usually because there is a problem. Definitely no Dopamine hit for me haha
@@mehultrivedi732 Generations do not literally exist. What a quote-unquote generation is, is nothing but a mathematical measurement or method if you rather to find out how many people of any one particular group or of any one particular ideal act towards any one particular situation or number of situations or type of situations. It in Norway extent shape or form explains why they act this way or how they can improve oh, it is nothing more than finding an the behaviors of a majority. It does not prove anything nor does it provide evidence for anything. It is not a method that you can use to find out the behaviors or beliefs of any one particular individual, to do that there's only one thing left to do get to know that individual. This pathetic childish immature behavior of yelling at a quote-unquote generation is really just people yelling and judging a red line on a graph somewhere. How about the selfish quote on quote adults or if you rather quote-unquote elders want their children to stop acting a fool than they themselves need to stop acting a fool and this includes discontinuing the stupid immature childish behavior of yelling at a group made up of literally millions upon millions of individuals from every single country and culture on the planet simply because they're looking for a scapegoat for the world and this nation's problems. People never see the darkness in themselves they never will admit that they're part of the problem for feeding into this globalist Elite b******* system based on the noble lie which is the concept of as long as you give people a goal it doesn't matter what that goal is they will follow you off the edge of a cliff. I am a millennial at one of the things I love to do is buying save up silver. The music I also enjoy, the majority of it anyway, is classic music, classic music of Any Given drama and I like very few modern pop songs which my quote-unquote generation is stereotyped to listen to. I also support most, not all of Trumps s***. How about instead of yelling and dashing their own children the older Generations look in a mirror and look back to a time for those are automatically judged simply because they committed no other crime but being born into a specific generation. This behavior is nothing more than throwing a f****** temper tantrum tizzy fit. It is pathetic emotionally impulsive behavior that is doing nothing but serving the ego. It's certainly isn't saving the world and it certainly isn't saving the country and it certainly isn't f****** patriotic. People hate the younger generation so now it's for the same reason they always have is because they're trying to enact change. and it doesn't matter if that changes for the good the bad the grey, it's not what they're used to doing and because it's not A way that they're used to doing things it's automatically evil. Because they suffered your children have to suffer. How about instead of these quote-unquote elders Putting down now and children and scoffing at their own children for not doing things the same exact way they do how about the encourage their children to try and enact change that could make the world a better place. Because I'll tell you something else if these quote-unquote elders and these quote-unquote adults aren't Working to make the future better for their children than they aren't working for anything at all. Because this system that our elders are yelling at us for not wanting to be a part of is nothing but a slave system like I mentioned a few sentences before this. You want to get to know me Come and get to know me personally have a conversation with me don't for one second think you f****** know me or what I believe or what I do because you saw or even heard about some red line on a stupid piece of paper somewhere. The concept of the generation is yet just another title that people used Bosch one another for not being exactly like themselves. It is a form of prejudice and it's called juvenilia. If you are a f****** juven assist you are not an adult And I guarantee you actual adults or actual Elders if you rather are very few and far between in the whole of the human race. Stop acting like a bunch of f****** asses and your kids will stop acting like a bunch of f****** asses. You won't be able to be a better place didn't realize this f****** system that you want your children to be a part of so bad is the very thing that's killing Humanity. How about you learn to work with your children instead of bashing them for not being you. Go look in a f****** mirror you bunch of elderly hypocrites.
@@mehultrivedi732 The old school way is what's killing humanity and this country among other countries. It was created in the 17 century by the French Elite, or rather the newer French Elite that took power after the takedown and execution of the Royals IE Marie Antoinette and her husband among others. It's called The Noble lie and it's the concept of as long as you give people a goal it doesn't matter what that goal is they will do whatever you tell them to do when you tell them to do it and follow you off the edge of a cliff. It is nothing but paid slavery. And although a lot of millennial individuals just like a lot of individuals in the human race as a whole are misguided, there are those like myself who want to change the world for the better but because what we're trying doing act, just like other young Generations always have is change that's why they hate us. No matter if the change is for the good the dark or the gray. Because if change exists it means that the world isn't actually black and white and if the world isn't black and white then how can we continue to Pat ourselves on the back and feed ourselves this illusion that we have control over nature and each other.
I am millennial. I understand process, hard work and patience thanks to my parents. My mom used to tell me "you won't go anywhere in life if you don't have dicipline" and she showed me what dicipline, hardwork and patience were through things she did daily.
Yes, people like to stereotype your generation. The millennials are easy to mentor in my opinion. Gen X is like "I do what I want, don't tell me what to do".
That's great if you have parents who do that. Most parents of millennials just go about their own lives oblivious to the fact that they even had kids. Their kids have their own lives on social media and their Xbox and the parents leave them to it. The lack of interaction within the family pushes them toward social media to begin with.
People who are successful don't become that way suddenly. What most people initially see as wealth. A great career and a clear sense of purpose come from persistent hard work and hustle. I hope that anyone reads this will be prosperous in life.
@Eric-RobertExactly ! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn, since I've personally tried navigated the path to passive income, I'd be delighted if you can offer some guidance based on your experiences that help you embarking on your own journey towards financial security
@@JuarezAntonio-f4dI have been investing in stocks and crypto for over 6 years now and I have made a lot of money. I never expected it, but after closely monitoring my portfolio's performance,I was astounded to see it generate a staggering $473k in just the past two quarters.
So far this is the best motivation I've seen on TH-cam. No shouting, no annoying background sounds, no destructive edits. Just pure English, pure tone, pure construction of words. I can listen to this forever.
It is a bunch of lies and myths, toxic bullshit and condescension towards a generation that has it twice as hard as the previous one. Millenial entitlement is not real. It never was. If you're a boomer and you think people working twice as hard as you to earn a lower salary or even land a job are asking for too much, maybe you're the entitled one.

@@cloud2451 But see this is conditioning as well, it all is, its all of it, they are one entity. They dont succeed because they are framed from birth into believing one of the biggest lies of all time, they lose more and more of their senses because they are give false data on everything, they can't ask questions, they don't learn anthing, cgi space documentaries are garbage, just complete garbage. Plus the usual "everything we consume is poison" they'll be giving monthly vaccinations soon you wait.. But don't worry they'l be free. ah, and of course civilization reset december. THOSE are just some of the reasons, this dude would never go there, he steers your opinion elsewhere. Thats what do.
BRILLIANT synopsis of the sad status quo, I was born in the 50s and fortunately realised early that anything worthwhile takes time and effort, and the subsequent rewards are truly gratifying and tangible. Social Media by contrast is an insatiable bottomless pit of unlimited interaction without boundary which is purely virtual, it may as well be a dreamworld ~ there's no final conclusion, no end, no satifaction.
You are so so accurate in the last sentence. Everything I hate, and know I hate, yet still find myself needing in social media, is that Each day is a battle against the enfeebled post junkie who can’t stop drinking the slow poison. I ‘lost’ today to him. And I may lose tomorrow as well. The tide keeps coming in, reproducing our stupor, covering the gaze once more. We are not helpless, but our literal biologies are being hijacked. We understand life conceptually, although application of concept is detrimental and paralysing, as the cumbersome body almost infiltrates the mind’s purity. It’s a severing of our natural self Enough typing. Not even sure I’m making sense. But that’s the issue. I’ll express an essay online but not go out and apply it. Maybe I’ll still be here in an hour searching aimlessly for what’s right in front of me. Maybe not. The battle is daily

I have been watching Simon videos for a long time but actually this is one of the best interviews I have ever watched. The way he explains about patience is really helpful.✨👏
Well, yeah, partly true. But remember, the message of this dude is clear, use it smartly, dont overuse it or be a junky. This is just a tool, its depends on you.
Dopamine is also the same chemical released when exercising and going outside, it's just harder to do those things than smoking, so it's less addictive.
@@jeffinmathew7857 Correct. Endorphine comes with exercise especially like long distance running, like the marathon junky :). For exercise the end result like doing it faster or better, the reward hormone is dopamine.
A workplace is an intrinsically hierarchical environment and its goal is to make profit for the people at the top. Everyone else is a means to an end at best and a line item in a spreadsheet driving down profits at worst.
@SteinOnkel.....And that's a problem why? If you work there, you made a choice. You exchanged your time for a salary and now you have food to eat and a place to live. People have no perspective on what life was like before capitalism. It was brutal, with no such thing as vacations or 8 hour workdays. People worked all year to ensure they had enough to survive winters. Poor people in America today live better than Founding Fathers like Benjamin Franklin did in the late 1700s. And in the 1800s....and up until WW2. It was only then when life really started to improve . Look at life expectancies, which remained stable throughout history until the mid to late 1800s.
@@ljd8520 Never mistake the work for the job. The job of a public defender is a shit job. The work of a public defender is very satisfying and fulfilling. Always love the work. You can quit or be fired from the job, but you can always take the work with you.

This man has a clear understanding of the challenge of the millennials. And am sure he has impacted a lot of young people to feel less frustrated & change their mindset. Thumbs up
Growing up "was born in 97", ive always felt a lot of the people in my generation were shallow and un able to form a proper bond.... now i see i was right...
@@dervakommtvonhinten517 Nah, people are superficial and usually don't want anything more then skin deep relations, it's just how this generation was brought up, did you even read what i said. 😂
As a millennial I have: 1) quit all social media 2) learned patience 3) gained a true understanding of what I want to do in life and how I must earn it 4) I look around and I do see people with great potential in my generation, as well as the majority as described in this video. 5) I surround myself with like minded individuals with a purpose
I beleive it is way too much of a missed oportunity not to engage in social media. It is a very good way to target and build an audience. You may think your field does not require it, but it might help.
@@barquero7111 "Might" is the key word. But if a person is on social media just to be on it, they are wasting their lives simply looking at others selfies, jokes, look at what I just purchased, etc......Such a waste of your time on earth.

I am a 70 year old male, watching this for about the fifth time. I love the intelligent, measured, delivery of this incredibly complex subject, that Simon breaks down so concisely. Bravo Simon.
As a 26 year old, may I ask what you think is so different now than when you were growing up? I'm interested to hear the perspectives of 2 different generations. I can appreciate the part about technology, but was wondering if there was anything that came to mind when he spoke about things like the development of people's self confidence within jobs or the element of instant gratification?
@Jon Don As a Millennial, older generations don't understand us because we defy the way things have been done and we've created innovative ways of getting something done in half the time and less headache.
I was born at the end of the boomer generation and I have all of those millennial problems. Had I watched this video back in the late 70s, I would have done the responsible thing and shot myself.
No absolutely not what we need is to stop depending on the noble lie but you said this stupid f****** system is this f****** job system it is nothing more then the idea that is long as you give people a goal they will follow you off the edge of a cliff. We are paid slaves not hardworking individuals. We are working for absolutely nothing and that is what Millennials are trying to change all of them are not misguided some of them are trying to enact change through good methods like Elon Musk for example who is a millennial, the reason older Generations bash younger Generations is because they are afraid of change because of the world isn't black and white then how can we continue to feed ourselves the illusion that we have power and control over each other and nature. The noble lie needs to go it is killing Humanity as well as this country and other countries. You want to get to know any one particular individual from any generation then you get to know them you sit down and have a conversation with them and get to know them that way new crop on a piece of paper somewhere is going to tell you that. Youth is no guarantee of Innocence just his age is no guarantee of wisdom and to think otherwise is a completely laughable idea.
Never started. Initially I felt like i am missing on so many things my friends do on instagram but now after 2-3 years that doesn't make sense. And the best part is I was always reading books cause I had nothing to do
I don’t have Twitter, Instagram and only open Facebook several times a year. Ppl ask me, “Do you not have friends?” The answer is I do, I have enough. Yes I don’t have like 300 or however much ppl have on Facebook or any other social media. But I have enough and I check up on how they’re doing when we go have dinner or via text or phone, not by reading their posts on my feed. And I am so very grateful that I am not bound by the expectations constructed by social media, the insecurity that comes with comparing yourself to others etc.
I tried to get my socially linked friends to just txt me or call me. Or txt me n I'll call them. Asked for numbers from others who want to get off social media. No one wanted to do it. So I'm off most but I've got next to no friends now.
@@scottking3499 Reduce faux social media. It's often antisocial and nasty. Partake in activities that YOU enjoy, no matter what and possibly meet some people, in the flesh, with similar interests. Stay the course to better yourself and to develop new acquaintances, which may evolve into real friendships, over time. Good luck.
I am a millenial, born in 93. And let me just say not all of us were born that way. My parents were amazing but always taught me to work hard for what i want and the world owes me nothing.

"Make sure you are happy in real life and not just in social media" This is very very true. That is why i am changing my life in order to be happy in my real life and not put on a front. this video here really helped me out
Absolutely. Also, the people who are posting the most about how amazing their life is are boring people and usually still combat low self-esteem all the time. I need to use social media for my work as well so I can't cut it off but I only post and react to messages because everything else is way too dangerous.
I encouraged my daughters to do well in school, and was always supportive of them. But I was also honest with them, I told them you may go with your heart rather than your wallet in a choice of careers, however, realize that you might limit your material and recreational opportunities in life by doing so. So figure out which is more important. My youngest said to me at her sisters college graduation, “I want to be one of the honored 4.0 graduates on stage when I graduate from here”. I told her, “I have no doubt that you will if you put your mind to it”., but I told her that because her of intelligence, organizational skills, and self discipline could have made it possible….and she did it. Both of my daughters “went with their heart” in career paths, and after much struggle are doing well. Your choices, willingness to struggle, patience, networking, getting off of social media, and seeing the world as it is, not how you feel it should be…all go a long way.
I have a friend who is also my doctor. His staff gives terrible service and he just complains about "this generation". The ancient Greek complained about the younger generation too. God put him in a spot to teach these young ladies and help them have more successful lives. What a privilege! But he is not strong enough to sieze the moment and everyone suffers as a result. Man up and do what you know God is calling you too. If you do it right, these young ladies will appreciate you the rest of their lives, your business will be more prosperous, and you'll grow too!
You either try to do your job to the best of your abilities or you don’t. No amount of training can make someone care about something they have no interest in. Nowadays workers just want to do enough to not be fired and nothing more
As a millennial I totally agree. Already gone through depression. Still havent found any goal in life. Just feels meaningless. The only reason why I didnt kill myself a few years ago, is bc no matter how shit this life is, its the only thing I have.
G George you fool the Almighty GOD/JESUS CHRIST KING of KINGS is the only way u will c at the end of your life who u think made u foolish Man U are deceived of the devil
Simon struck on the exact points that pisses me off about the world today. No wonder people don't like me when I tell them about their bad phone habits, want of instant gratification or lack of perseverance. I commend him for stepping up on a global platform and have a discussion about this. More and more celebrities and influencers should be talking about these problems. It's the nucleus of human evolution.
noooo no no noooo... not celebrities and influencers... it has to be simon. simon words it just right. influencers will give their own twist on it, just like celebrities and the message will get distorted very quick.. but yes, he needs to go global
As a millennial myself, I can say that everything he said brought tears to my eyes because it’s all true. I’ve always struggled with undiagnosed/untreated depression/anxiety since a child simply because my parents did “not have the time” to formulate a genuine and cohere relationship with me where I spoke to them about my mental issues. Still to this day I do not feel comfortable approaching them about my problems because whenever I try to, instead of understanding me and being supportive, they turn it back on me and make me feel like I am always the problem. I just learned to deal with it myself all my life. They also never forgot to mention that there are no friends in this thing we call life. I now realize that this is the reason why it is hard for me to keep consistent meaningful relationships in my life and why my natural coping mechanism is isolating which fundamentally makes it all worse. They mostly focused on work, money, social status and materialistic things. I now have difficulties explaining how I feel because I do not know myself how I feel inside. There’s so much trauma and hurt that was swept under the rug that is now resurfacing in my early ages of adulthood. Despite this, I was always motivated and a go getter no matter the circumstances. It’s unfortunate that I can’t say that about myself anymore because often times I find myself over analyzing, feeling so unmotivated to the point where it is hard for me to get out of bed and get on with my day. I know there are so many other people out there that can relate to my story and it is unfortunate that the reason we’re like this is not our fault. Even though I don’t hate nor despise my parents for what they did/didn’t do, I really wish they would of taught me some skills to deal with this hard life as an adult because this shit is not easy. But I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will be okay as long as we re program our minds (subconscious) and let go of toxic habits. To whoever reading this I wish you nothing but peace and blessings in your life. We’re all in this mental fight together. 🫶🏼
May you find peace Karina Santana. Find a really good friend you can discuss anything with who doesn’t judge you or criticize everything. This has helped me.
Important start to understand your capabilities and trust your self esteem without having an expectation on your LIFE, just follow your heart and do good no matter what, slowly things will change for betterment
Great words. Perhaps consider guiding other young people through the hardships of what youve gone through and how youve made it this far. Possible higher education in this area of expertise? Well said btw. I hear yea.
Karina, sweetheart, I so feel for you and your generation. What I don’t hear anywhere in any of these discussions, your’s and others, is the word love. Love is very powerful. It got me through cancer, and a long list of other challenges. I am a boomer. Everything we wanted or needed in life required competing. There were too many of us. At times that was very exhausting. And it may be what underlies some of the behaviour of parents today. They too can say it’s not their fault. What separates humans from other creatures on earth is our ability to choose. We can make that work for us or ignore it and continue on the same path. I really learned this when faced with looming death. I made the decision, the choice, to live. Today, with the love of family and friends, I am doing very well. Friends do exist. With them you will find understanding, compassion and from time to time helpful advice. To everyone, reach out, build strong, meaningful relationships and get the conversations going. And remember, It is not what you do that defines you. It is who you are that matters.

The Boomers seem to be able to make lasting relationships based on, exclusively, a limited and narrowed worldview that they share. My generation can push for different ideas.
Incredibly inspiring and warm speaker. Thankyou..for expressing what as a mother and worker I see and worry about everyday. The difference between our childhoods is so vast and society is loosing its humanness. Vital message, Thanks
Accidentally came across this video and my mundane gloomy Sunday just started feeling like a Saturday, happy and bright because of the wisdom he imparted. ♡
The whole truth? Dickface blames corporate America. Blames the parents. Blames Social Media... Millennials fail because they blame everyone & everything except themselves. They are the generation of excuses. This dickface caters to crybaby excuses. you agree.. you're the problem. You're a dipshit
Rarely had a video that moved me that much. The depth of the understanding. The delivery. The kindness behind it. And I am not even a millenial. Thank you Simon. Will work hard to come close to that level. Thank you @TeamFearless.
the first step to gaining wealth is figuring-out your goals either on your own or with heIp of a financiaI pIanner and foIIowing through with InteIIigent pIans; you wiII gain financiaI growth in no time and enjoy the decision of managing your finance
It is refreshing to see someone stating all of the issues without looking down on millenials... he is right that the parents that do this are doing their children a great disservice and setting them up for failure. I also applaud him for challenging companies to help them.
He is just another influencer.... He is making money on ignorant people like you. Selling books, courses, ads or talks. Same with all of them. Just repeat truths that have been known for a long time.
This man is very wise, one cannot put on old head on young shoulders. I had a very hard life from being young , always had to relay on myself. But it has given me thought , think before you leap. The one person you can trust is yourself. Always speak the truth and be kind. I am now eighty seven and still learning Do unto others , how you would be done unto Except each day ,with the best I put into it Remember there is always someone worse off than you self Life is colourful bright and alive . Death is cold dark and there is no coming back .
FANTASTIC … you have given me the means to explain to my sons the difference between me and them. I am 72 and an ex-coal miner and my sons are in their twenties. The chasm of understanding between us was impossible to bridge until you supplied the ammunition that I needed. Thank you.
So true. We have had the hardest transition to adulthood than any other generation. Think about it i am 26, when my mom was 26 she was married and planning a family, my grandmother was married with 3 kids at my age. People in those generations were also homeowners pretty young also.
I made a promise with myself to workout daily, sleep properly, have a good diet, spend time playing instruments with my cousins this quarantine, and what I get instead is an online learning school, math, science and deadlines, I don't feel happy, I feel stressed, I don't feel healthy, I feel worse.

Yeah, I thought when both of my jobs sent me home I would do well. I got Covid19 shortly after and have been struggling since. You could be struggling to breathe.
Still proud of you because you keep going. That's your strength. You keep going even life is tough. In the end of that stress, life makes you tougher. God bless and keep safe!
Education is one part of life Health is a major part of life You can try atleast the dieting maybe? Basic actions like having less added sugar and processed foods etc may make noticeable positive differences
if you are left to wander alone, you will waste your time on TikTok and Instagram. No self-promise provides commitment enough, especially while you are still in school. Only when life bashes your skull in a couple of times for not keeping your promises - then they will be worth something. Till then - learn what you have to learn to be able to work and earn money. And learn to cope with deadlines, not whine about them.
I am of this generation (2001) and i must say, that, it getting worse. My friendships are superficial, it's true, and every person i approached for "a deeper meaningful relationship", there is literally like none: zero. It's like my friends are putting a wall, and i cant past that wall, whatever i do. I potray it like this: an insecure generations with problems with confidence (and attitude, too)
I'm a 36 year old man who has lived this millennial life of depression loneliness and addiction I found this talk more on point than anyone I have heard in years
Simon is right on the money. His message has an excellent blend of identifying the sources of the problem, showing compassion for the subject's struggles, and giving comprehensive solutions to help address a very complex issue.
He's right on the money as far as social media goes. I see too many young kids these days with their mobile phones almost surgically attached to their noses.
hm... the ad I saw at the end of this video was of a 20-something girl talking about how she travels the world and that Grammarly helps her make a difference as she travels the world. I use Grammarly, but this was ironic how completely accurate he is with his points.
“They have fun with their friends, but they also know that their friends will cancel out on them” And that’s why the word Friend is hard to take in use when trust has been misused countless times. Relationships feel the same way. Loneliness is real.
yeah, Both loneliness and true friendship have inertia (ie mass) to them. But you can't quit. If you quit, you guarantee nothing will change. If you refuse to quit trying, you will INDEED make better things happen. I have been desperately lonely, for many months at a time. One (relatively) easy therapy is to serve other people for part of your day, at least on some days. Sometimes you gotta sneak up on em when they're not looking. The older lady in the big store parking lot- you have to park near her, then "just happen" to walk by as she reaches her car. Then you help her, or at least take her cart and put it away for her. Buy a $3.99 bouquet of flowers for one of the older checkout ladies at the store. Hold the door for a mom and her kids. Help a guy load lumber at Home Depot. These things are small, and there is no way that they can be misinterpreted as you trying to manipulate someone. You have nothing to gain. That's when it is "service." It is rewarding, kind, and it is a way to not be lonely for a little while. . AND, you might accidentally meet a cute girl. But even if not, you've made the day a good day.
Gosh 😮 I’m 34 and definitely need to learn how to be patient. He is so right about instant gratification!! Even though I deleted my social media 9 years ago , there are so many other factors that get you without you realizing it.
@@gloomywheel8378 Older generations are literally at fault for everything. Younger generations do not come out owning big businesses. They don't get allowed, quite literally an age limit to be in congress, to take political office. Even when of age, it's very difficult to unseat incumbents who have solidified their power and created survival bonds with big donors and corporations.
@@minty6347 older generations are not at fault for everything you just like playing the victim and blaming all of your problems on circumstance. if you truly believe that young adults hold no place in politics you just must have not been following it the past couple years.
@@gloomywheel8378 It is getting better because young people saw what the older generations did so they are trying to fix it. So of course you're going to see an increase of young people in politics, that doesn't change the fact that the world is the way it is because the older generations fucked everything for profit
@@gloomywheel8378 Except for the fact that all older generations are literally responsible for all the big businesses and political leaders in office today. Kind of hard/IMPOSSIBLE for new generations to time travel and take over socioeconomic systems still being developed and controlled (quite literally) by older generations. But by all means, keep up the lie.
I tried so hard once I got into corporate, but everything you saying is true. Low self esteem, stressful, struggling to survive. After 10 years as a civil servant, I could no more. I felt unvalued, abused, lower than low in my self esteem. And to this day, I know I tried my best, I always went the extra mile because I knew I wasn't the smartest of people, but the environment was so toxic. People sometimes, can make you feel so lonely. And I dont want to build relationships anymore because I've been burnt, stabbed in the back by people I trusted and opened myself up to. The world is not the same. It's the best of times, it's the worst of times
I don’t know you personally, but I can tell you that people will always let you down in some way or another. People are innately sinful. However, Jesus will never fail you. He lived a perfect, sinless life and paid our punishment so that we can commune with Him and return to our Father. He is our greatest friend and will never fail us. John 10:10 says, “The thief [Satan] comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come so that they [humanity] may have life and have it to the full.” God wants you to have the most fulfilling life. Repent of your sins, believe in Jesus dying for your sins, and read the Word and pray to learn and commune with our magnificent God. If you do decide to read, I recommend starting in the book of John as it really shows who Jesus (who is God) is :) love you man!
@@justinmooney4424 you are kind thank you for your encouragement but I am Muslim, but ultimately we all rely upon God isn't it. He's all we have because people really are imperfect and we let each other down. I'm just trying to live my life now by working on the trauma through spiritual, and therapeutic means so that I don't bleed on people who didn't cut me you know. Stop the cycle of spreading pain and anguish in the world, but it's easier said than done. I love Jesus and all the messengers. I love my fellow Christian brothers and sisters too I was also Christian and I love my family who still are and they love me too. God bless us and guide us all, forgive our sins and help us to be kind on this earth.
Obviously you've suffered and I hate that for you. But what you have described is called life. Ive worked in multiple settings since 1988 and only a few were uplifting and supportive. Things haven't changed from some golden era.
@@imaanadams5987 Whatever goes in your head will determine your results. I dont mean in "New Age" or some sort of "manifestation" or "law of attraction", NOo!

When thoughts and feelings are allowed to run free, they'll PENETRATE your inner being and mess with you. BUT when you set up a system to deal with your thoughts and feelings you'll start to DEFLECT harmful ones. Right now your mind is like a strainer/seive that lets your thoughts and feelings through. We're going to build a WALL OF TRUTH that will keep out FALSE, HARMFUL Thoughts The system to change before u indulge in them S - See it, Recognize it. W - Why am I thinking/feeling this?

So therefore, the lies are irrelevant to me. I'm choosing to shift my thought instead." F - Facts/Truth. Ask your loved one to tell you the truth about yourself. You need this objective truth about yourself to defeat the lies. Focus on the truth about who you REALLY are. Use the truth in scripture about your identity and value in Christ M - make it your own Say it slowly, out loud until it really sinks in. Don't skip the part about not saying it out loud. It's not crazy. Sometimes you need to hear something out loud so your brain has enough opportunity to start believing it. Pass this to someone if this helped you.
You can also talk to your grandparents. We grew up with dial phones, no TV, and played outside until the street lights came on, and lived in a world of creativity, exploration, and fun. When I retired, I gave away all of my technology and opted for a flip-phone for emergencies and I don't text. I watched smart phones kill real communication between human beings. I chose instead direct communication with other human beings, and the joy of being truly engaged, and the opportunity to really love and be loved. Nothing else counts.
"God and the Cross - where He sacrificed Himself because of His tremendous and unconditional love - are the only ones to fill that void... that missing piece." Godbless! 💕
I should be a poster boy for this video. Literally everything he said was precisely my upbringing. I was heralded as a child prodigy throughout primary school and breezed through to grade 8 or 9 but once I needed to apply effort and not just raw talent, it all slipped and so did I. I kept telling myself what I had been told for all of my upbringing "youre special and so talented" So why was I not the best and smartest anymore. I am almost 20 now and tried to take my life 5 times last year. I 100% whole-heartedly agree with everything that was said in this video.
Hey man, I really appreciate you being so honest. I hope you're doing better and working towards that, successfully. Hopefully, you have a good support system in place, if not and you need someone to talk to, just hmu!
Umm, hi🖐️ Just saying, I'm freaking not well either. Everything I can do for you is just to say, you can make it better. See you don't have to be the smartest. You don't have to be the richest around. I'm 20 and darn I took me a while to figure that out. It's not easy to stop stressing and tell yourself "I did good, not the best but I'm happy about it" I've set my priorities straight. I've made a 10-15 year plan on how I WILL build my own café with commitment and hard work. As a start just flip that switch in your brain, you don't have to be the best but enough, just enough to be happy. Find something you like, wanna do. And do it because you want not to best everyone else. Then allow yourself to acknowledge that it will take quite a lot of time to achieve a goal. Set a goal and work on it. It's not going to be easy but I think in 20 or so years I'm gonna tell myself "I was worth it" Hope you'll be able to. Stay alive and work on making it better. (Also remember to get some rest sometimes too😌) Be well
Spend 1 hour a day to improve yourself. Either reading a book or going for a jog/gym. Do this for 1-2 months and it'll become a routine. Eventually you'll start feeling and getting better. I've been depressed from 19-25 years old. Until I started to truly realise that only me myself can start to improve my life at 25, I was constantly thinking about suicide. Change starts with you and you're stronger than you might think. You might not be the best but you can always improve yourself. Even the world's greatest people have a lot to learn.
@@JohnDavis-im1oy I think you've missed the point John. As a matter of fact I am studying to be an astrophysicist. I am thoroughly enjoying the course and am on track to have my masters done before I'm 30. Also it's "You're not very good at anything" Have a great day
I am an elder millennial born in the 80s. I felt a lot like the person he describes until my 30s. Always feeling dissatisfied and a bit lost with my work efforts and pursuit of goals I couldn't quite settle on. It was a lot of seeking until I started a family with my wife. Since then my life mission has been clear. To provide, to father, to support and to TRY. You want meaning, you will then have to deal with the suffering and difficulty of it, they go hand and hand. Family is the key to life, the ultimate manifestation of meaning in my humble opinion, and the greatest act of creation. The problem that most of us have is we imagine the results, but most of life is the process. It feels hard and so we quit or feel the urge to do so. If you can walk away, then raise your stakes until it feels impossible to do so. Then you will be set free by the responsibility to commit. Life is hard. It is supposed to be, create anything and you will encounter challenges. The key is accepting this fact, putting your head down and walking through the storm. Take on responsibility, don't dodge it.
Life is not hard, not for anyone. It's your lifestyle. I'm thinking the same, but there're people having different thoughts about life. They learned to be satisfied, with whatever they get.
@@PabloSteuer when most of us say “life is hard”, they complicate more and more, it worsen the situation, it’s depressing, it brings more stress and pessimism, it doesn’t help, and i don’t know really if it’s an objective fact or not!!!!! Every instructor or expert (or who think he is) sells us just one way, they keep repeating this depressing things, i don’t see life is easy for, for my situation, for my depression, but in general, objectively, i don’t see how these talks and lectures will help actually! The art of being overall in a state of peace, satisfaction, gratitude, to be present often (not always if course) no matter what the conditions and the status most of the time, and now and here is an end in itself, the biggest goal, the goal that matters really, but really i don’t know if that possible, or maybe it’s “hard” (just like everything as they said)! And everybody claims that he has all the answers and he is perfect or semi-perfect!! From religions, to spiritual leaders, to coaches, to businessmen, to “pundits”!! Like wtf!!! After all of these repetitive lectures, what is their real impact on the world actually????How big is it????Whom does it affect???? Nothing groundbreaking or new or practical or genius or simple in a nutshell!!!
I appreciate your grit, but that notion of having to except misery to raise a family as part of your mission. I think it’s complete bullshit. I hate it that’s indentured servitude that slavery. It’s no way to live I mean it wasn’t like that back in the 50s people had fun at work they got drunk and shit late 90s was kind of fun too but I digress I think it was Joe Rogan and the other guy, Henry Rollins, Joe Rogan and Henry Rollins talked about jobs that make me miserable and killed them on the inside. You should check that out on TH-cam.
@@tonalddrump2981 Who said I was miserable? Read it again, I'm talking about finding meaning. If getting drunk at work fills your life with meaning, I guess that should be easy enough to accomplish. Not exactly what I'm looking for.
@@PabloSteuer Imagine a world where people accepted "whatever they get." No innovation or creation of any kind, just a bunch of naked people in a forest grunting at each other. It is not the human way, better to accept that challenges lie ahead versus pretend they don't. Entitled to think you can accept whatever you get when the world runs on people making your life better every day who aren't afraid to face massive challenges.
I'm Gen-X, and I lived 30 years before I had a cell phone, and my first one was just a phone; no such thing as "texting" for awhile. No "Social Media." No Internet in my home until I was 31. More than half my life I lived that way. I'm glad. When my wife and I go out for dinner, we see so many couples at restaurants waiting for the meals. They aren't talking to each other like we do. They are looking at their phones, interacting with people who aren't there. Sad!
its not sad. its evolution. your primitive mind should expand a bit. fear keeps you limited. Im a millennial and i do not have a facebook. i never received an award for last place. My parents never told me i was special or i could do anything i want. i had to scrap to get ahead and made it on my own 2 feet all while texting people on my phone during dinner even!
All the menus are on the phone now. It pisses me off since I work so hard to get focused time while we are out together and not be the couples on their phones...
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264 It IS sad when you go out to dinner w/ someone and instead of talking w/ one another, you're both on your phones. That's not evolution.
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264 ah, and there is my big problem with millennials, and one that Simon doesn't really address. The arrogance. Millennials are incredibly and condescendingly arrogant. Like so many of them consider themselves "minimalists". That's great, good for you. But don't sneer and look down upon people who aren't. Also, don't try to force socialism/secularism on the whole country because you don't like capitalism and religion. America is great in large part because of those two things. Personal ambition in the case of the former, and humility in the case of the latter, which acts as a balance. You can also stop discounting the generations of the past anytime now. You have no idea what it was like live in their time, and "presentism" is a ridiculous concept. They built amazing things and institutions which we all benefit from today, and I am sure they were doing the best they could. Are you?
90's was the best no technology your neighbours knew you said hello, you had close friendships what's not to like ? oh and guess what you actually talked to someones face omg
I don’t care about likes on social media, or people not liking me. People call me weird, but they fail to realize it’s them. Human interactions are highly important. Don’t waste your timing being around careless, lifeless individuals. Hang around people with a positive outlook on life, that actually has goals.
“Hang around ppl with a positive outlook on life, that actually have goals.” Those ppl make me feel bad about myself given how much better they are and how so far behind I am
@@bloop2804 you are right, and I’m not sure what goals are realistic for me given my intelligence (or lack of)…like if I want to be a surgeon, do I have the necessary mental capacity to achieve it? How about an engineer? Setting goals that might be beyond my potential will just further devastate me should I have miscalculated.
Simon Sinek is brilliant in many ways and a fantastic communicator. One thing he drops the ball on is that it ISNT JUST the responsibility of the corporations to help the younger generation figure out patience and how to derive satisfaction…it’s THOSE PEOPLES responsibilities first and foremost. If they don’t decide to own their part, ask for help, and then do something to make that change stick, nothing will be different. I’m confident they can and that good leaders can help. The ownership piece is essential to accurately define.
I agree, but also, the problem started externally, and in the name of balance, an external factor needs to mitigate it before the pace of change can fasten. Corporations have the power to create such a change, more so than Boomer parents (who were just teaching us what worked for them when economic and social pressures weren't so prevalent, and are way behind the times) and with that power comes some responsibility. But I do agree, as a 38 year old man, I and many of my peers need to work hard to catch up. There's a problem in middle management 🤣
Everything you want, you can have instantaneously. Everything you want, instant gratification... Except job satisfaction, and strength of relationships... there’re ain’t no app for that. That is true Simon
Some of us actually had it differently. Millennials in 3rd world countries didn’t have parents who wanted to give them everything but on the contrary we were raised by very tough and harsh circumstances and by parents who were merciless in most cases because there is nothing much to live off. So to generalize the first world and Western world millennials to the rest of the world is not accurate.
From time to time, I am realizing how poor I am conducting my life and sharing it upon others. I really like the point of view of this video. Thank you so much.
Thank you, amazing. It's so sad, I can't find anyone to hang out with who doesn't pick up their phone. I leave mine at home all the time, connecting with the actual world. The other day I saw a group of little birds dive-bombing a hawk. It was amazing. If I was looking at my phone, I wouldn't have seen that amazing sight. The world around us is so beautiful if we just look up and notice things. Nature, not technology.
This is why the world is continuously changing for the worse. Apparently people have better things to do than pay attention to what's going on with their own lives. I guess we should just trust other people to make all the right decisions that are in our best interest. Very sad.
I truly accept the line for myself, we are growing up in a facebook-instagram world. we are good at putting filters on things. we are good at showing people that life is amazing even though I am depressed. my friends are thinking I am living amazing life and so jealous about it without knowing that fact how depressed I am from deep inside.
Amazing video. I am millennial, and luckily, I don't feel identified with those features. I like to see the world, sometimes alone, because I am surrounded by people with phones. Thank you for sharing these. It's really inspiring. ❤
I'm an idealist too (19 yrs old) At each and every achievement of mine, my parents have asked me whether I wanted a phone. I said no. I needed a Tab. And wherever I might go, it stays at home. I deleted all my social media except for whatsapp with only the family and friends I know on it. Because the superficiality of people on social media didn't sit well with me. Now I can just update and stay updated about those I care about. Not depriving myself or anything but that's my natural instinct. Guess seing my brother (social media addict) and mother (social media stress reliever) have unconsciously made me realize how rude and lonely it is to have people on social media when there are people around you. I take an old phone in case my parents need to check where I am and it doesn't have internet. Honestly can't count the number of times I've been scolded for not answering the phone. But it's just my nature that when I'm out my phone goes to the deep corners of my bag, is on silent and never makes its presence known until I realize I have to call my parents to go back home. Also I have a bad anxiety of losing it. (I lost the one good phone I once got to take pictures.. and I took that as a sign that God's saying, Child you dont need a phone, don't give into the demands of the world) Also, a few years ago the society in which I live in would frown at any teenager carrying a phone and I guess the feeling that having a phone is wrong just stuck with me.
Hmmm, I also don't like to bring my phone everywhere and I also keep it on silent in my backpack. I am 15 years old and I noticed that probably 95% or more of the students at my school love to go on their phones, text, take pictures of themselves, they scroll through tons of images on social media. It kind of bothers me when I see this, they are addicted and not paying attention to their school work.
People blame the world for my generation, despite the fault mostly lying with the older ones. They made an unsustainable, broken, hilariously inefficient system and told us, from childhood "You'll fix this, one day." We grow up, we move out, we have lives. we try to fix their world, but they won't let us even try. Because they know best and we're just kids. Despite the fact that there are members of this generation helping their kids find colleges.
Azhiru - right, I’m Gen X, and I’m so sick of everyone blaming Millennials for the world they inherited. Simon Simonek can fuck off. He does not speak for anyone but himself.
You know it's a hard wire to walk on, when you had less as a child. You want something completely different for your child. But those hard times also taught us how to acclimate a serious trait that one needs in this world. I'm a victim. My mom was on crack, she would leave us home many weekends, we were on welfare. So I did what I thought was right. I wanted my son to always be happy. But that's not real life. It took me 14 years of his life until I realized the very serious mistake I had made. Fortunately for my son and me, he's very resilient like his mama, but most are not as fortunate. 🤔
I am 53 years old and I became one of these millennial. Seriously. Except for the work part, I became a workaholic, working 7/7 , with my phone in my pocket. Fb became my best friend, my emotional link to the world. Last year, I decided to drop my job for sometime. I quit social media, stopped watching tv, stopped shopping, stopped wasting money, I started to live for myself and therefore reclaimed my life back. My iPhone batterie isn’t charging after 6 years and I am not getting a new one. After 7 months off, i am so happy, i am living the outdoors, enjoying staying home reading books, play guitar now, do huge puzzles, build Star Trek models, clean my roof, gardening, road bike riding, commuter cycling, I haven’t used my car 7 months now, I mountain bike too, indoor climbing, play soccer, running, walking , bird watching. I have reclaimed my health, my happiness and joy, no stress. I have lost all my friends but it’s ok. At this point, it is all about me. Millennial are not the only one suffering. I am no longer a slave. But I agree with the video.
I too, grew up in the early eighties, in the projects no less. But it was the south. We had skateboards, Punk Rock, and weed. In the summer during the day we were at the public pool having a blast. In the evening it was dinner with the family, and we mostly ate vegetables. The evenings were spent skating, goofing off, and smoking weed. We had four TV stations, but mostly watched PBS. Cosmos, Nova, and Dr Who were some of my favorites. For radio we had classic top 40's, and college stations, these were the best. We also spent time camping out and fishing. The last place you wanted to be was inside. When school was in session, after school was spent making out, and doing homework with your sub-genius girlfriend. Plus watching Dr Who. Saturday was date night, so it was you your best friend and girls. We usually went skating or to a movie. When you got home it was time for Saturday Night Live. When I finished High School I went into the Navy for six years. I currently work in IT as a Data Center Manager. These are my memories most precious. Life was by no means easy, and at times very difficult. But things have a way of working out provided you are persistent.
While I don't necessarily disagree with anything he said (former high school teacher and millennial myself), there are definitely parts of the equation that are missing from his analysis. I agree that the parenting strategies that were used on our generation weren't the best. An over-correction from the way many of our parents were raised (they felt their parents were too strict on them and never wanted to do that to their kids). I respect that he doesn't blame the millennials themselves as so many older people do. But I don't think you can explain what's happening with millennials without talking about the differences between the world we were promised and the world we have. Growing up we believed that our lives would be relatively like those of our parents; we would be able to work to put ourselves through college if necessary, we would come out of college with a decent job which (while not our dream job) would be able to provide for us and allow us to start a family. Yes some of us were told that we're perfect and special and deserve to have everything we want and that's a problem, but more often we were told that if we followed certain steps that life would be okay, we would be able to support ourselves. Only that's not how things turned out. The price of education skyrocketed to the point where only the wealthy can go without accruing insane amounts of debt. Meanwhile the value of that degree decreases as more people get them, saturating the market and requiring even higher levels of education to be competitive. In many cases the jobs we're getting right out of college (when we can get them) are better than what our parents had but somehow with worse pay. There is a delaying to adulthood in this generation because for many it doesn't make financial sense to leave their parents right away and start life on their own.
Seems to be mostly a North American problem, in Norway and i suspect our closest neighbors education is reasonably cheap and most jobs pay reasonably well. Problem is insane house prices and taxation but most people can support themselves if they choose to live in rural areas or small apartments.
my dad was able to feed a family and purchase a house and a car with a wage to 30k a year that he got when he finished college. We live well. His story was not an exception . Most people were able to get a degree and afford a house and feed a family. Now.. try to find a millenial who was able to do that!! Does anyone know a millenial who was able to afford a house and a family with a college degree? Show me one!!
"without talking about the differences between the world we were promised and the world we have." Yea, um, "like", you are not "promised" anything. Remember the past, don't relive it. Soooooo, college is now expensive, women and immigrants in the workforce have made jobs scarce, and college doesn't provide the return-on-investment? Um, some advice: It's not your degree,..... it is what you do with your degree. That hasn't changed. If you can't afford the $50K car, then you buy a $10K car. College no longer is about education. College is about getting the degree and networking (classmates and alumni) for those that want the expensive educations. The same issue I have with "I can't afford to move out"..........is the same issue I have with Seniors that say they can't afford the cost of living in retirement. TAKE IN ROOMMATES! New college grads: You are not going to buy a condo or a house out of college and have your own palace....unless you are a Trust Fund Baby. Start dealing with interpersonal relationships. Start learning how to pay rent, pay bills, pay for your healthcare. The longer you put it off the harder it will be.

Why should Millennials have to pay their retirement benefits and Medicare we didn't vote for? Unfunded liabilities (Medicare and Social Security) now exceed $100 trillion. The national debt is another $21 trillion-- and when the boomers die, millennials will have to pony up. And then when debt obligations aren't met( because lord knows where millennials come up with the cash) the entire system crashes and these social programs boomers voted for themselves won't exist for millennials.
Which bring up another point.
Millennials are still struggling to get their first homes due to the great recession. Since 2008 quantitative easing (QE) artificially inflated housing prices. Normally this is CAN be good IF wages keep up with inflation and zoning laws were updated to meet market requirements. Instead, QE drove up asset prices and bailed out baby boomers at the profound political cost of pricing out millennials who were still in college drowning in debt. Inflation made sure millennials couldn't be a stakeholder in their own city.
They will tell you "hurrr durrr stoping buying iphones and avocado toast" (the live within your means guy) so that you can afford healthcare, retirement, and housing after paying off your student loans with high interest. Maybe we should stop subsidizing Medicare and give the elderly more math classes because no amount of avocado toast and iPhones will compensate for the inflation boomers created. If millennials were aware of the intergenerational theft thats going on and voted accordingly, boomers would be in serious trouble.

I watched this video on 2018 and I wasted my year.
I watched it on 2019 and I wasted another year again.
I'm watching again on 2020 and I believe I found my answer and that is I haven't changed my environment.
People take your humble and kindness for weakness and you become the joke of the group where everyone would want to troll with you and as days goes by you suddenly start to overthink all those words what your friends said about you even though you laughed it out at first but those words are starting to bug you now and you're left wondering why you're overthinking.
Trust me, if there is anyone in your environment, be it family or friends, and they don't respect you, or make fun of you just because you're that quiet person and they don't know how you feel, bless them and leave them and YOU start focusing on yourself! Love yourself first because those same people who you call family or friends aren't going to pay your future family's bills. It is you who's gonna look after everything. It is you who is in charge of your life! It is you who's 100% responsible for fixing yourself! It is YOU who's they gonna look up to you when you do big!
It is all about what you consume. Consume can be what you're feeding to your eyes with negative pictures like Pornography, dirty jokes or dirty movies, negative self talk, negative imaginations like "I can't do this," "I'm not good enough," "He is better than me," "She is better than me," etc!
Change everything what you consume by consuming healthy food, healthy sleep, healthy environment, healthy pictures like this video and positive messages etc.
Just don't be a slave to the negative environment and replace all your negative self-talks to "I can do this!" "I am blessed!" "I got this!" "I am strong," "I am beautiful," and more!
Change your mindset and you will start to see life in different perspective.

Listen, I know it seems like the world is full of pieces of shits trying to take your money to become rich themselves but everything everywhere isn't like that.

Make friends, find a partner (if one's gone, find the next one), pick up hobbies and passions, make money and buy stuff, etc. That's what life is about.
Not interrupting him was natural and expected. The speaker already said at the beginning that he had four points to make. Naturally, you listen until he's done with all four points and don't interrupt... unless you are a millenial.
Can somebody just really appreciate how awesome the host is? Being an inspirational knowledge reservoir himself, he just gives the guest 100% of stage presence! Hats off 👏
That is a terrible way to be a host, you have to push back, question what Simon is saying even if you totally agree with him. Simon's ideas are always way to easy to pick apart due to the fact he just gets to ramble on without any push back.
@@jakethesnake2x don’t agree to it. If you’ve seen Tom Bilyeu speak, you’ll know he’s no pushover. He has his own ideas and has a very effective way of communicating. The problem is we have mainstreamed this idea of being an intrusive opinionated host so much, that we think being an accommodative host is bad. There are way more examples of hosts being rude and interrupting that we are accustomed to believe that there can be no one to provide a platform for you to be heard.

People always say social media is a bad thing. It's not a bad thing if you use it for building business and to gain fast attention from promoting a business. If you're using it to post meaningless stuff and it's a distraction from more important things, then yes, social media is a liability and you should delete it.

Nah cause other social media like Facebook, Instagram and snapchat makes you too focused on other peoples lives particularly the ones you are friends with and makes you unintentionally want to show off your life. Over time you dont realize it but those social media apps make you want to live for people.
Thats why you only post good things.

How any one particular individual uses a cell phone or the internet depends on the individual not the generation they're born into.
@@mehultrivedi732 Generations do not literally exist. What a quote-unquote generation is, is nothing but a mathematical measurement or method if you rather to find out how many people of any one particular group or of any one particular ideal act towards any one particular situation or number of situations or type of situations. It in Norway extent shape or form explains why they act this way or how they can improve oh, it is nothing more than finding an the behaviors of a majority. It does not prove anything nor does it provide evidence for anything. It is not a method that you can use to find out the behaviors or beliefs of any one particular individual, to do that there's only one thing left to do get to know that individual. This pathetic childish immature behavior of yelling at a quote-unquote generation is really just people yelling and judging a red line on a graph somewhere. How about the selfish quote on quote adults or if you rather quote-unquote elders want their children to stop acting a fool than they themselves need to stop acting a fool and this includes discontinuing the stupid immature childish behavior of yelling at a group made up of literally millions upon millions of individuals from every single country and culture on the planet simply because they're looking for a scapegoat for the world and this nation's problems. People never see the darkness in themselves they never will admit that they're part of the problem for feeding into this globalist Elite b******* system based on the noble lie which is the concept of as long as you give people a goal it doesn't matter what that goal is they will follow you off the edge of a cliff. I am a millennial at one of the things I love to do is buying save up silver. The music I also enjoy, the majority of it anyway, is classic music, classic music of Any Given drama and I like very few modern pop songs which my quote-unquote generation is stereotyped to listen to. I also support most, not all of Trumps s***. How about instead of yelling and dashing their own children the older Generations look in a mirror and look back to a time for those are automatically judged simply because they committed no other crime but being born into a specific generation. This behavior is nothing more than throwing a f****** temper tantrum tizzy fit. It is pathetic emotionally impulsive behavior that is doing nothing but serving the ego. It's certainly isn't saving the world and it certainly isn't saving the country and it certainly isn't f****** patriotic. People hate the younger generation so now it's for the same reason they always have is because they're trying to enact change. and it doesn't matter if that changes for the good the bad the grey, it's not what they're used to doing and because it's not A way that they're used to doing things it's automatically evil. Because they suffered your children have to suffer. How about instead of these quote-unquote elders Putting down now and children and scoffing at their own children for not doing things the same exact way they do how about the encourage their children to try and enact change that could make the world a better place. Because I'll tell you something else if these quote-unquote elders and these quote-unquote adults aren't Working to make the future better for their children than they aren't working for anything at all. Because this system that our elders are yelling at us for not wanting to be a part of is nothing but a slave system like I mentioned a few sentences before this. You want to get to know me Come and get to know me personally have a conversation with me don't for one second think you f****** know me or what I believe or what I do because you saw or even heard about some red line on a stupid piece of paper somewhere. The concept of the generation is yet just another title that people used Bosch one another for not being exactly like themselves. It is a form of prejudice and it's called juvenilia. If you are a f****** juven assist you are not an adult And I guarantee you actual adults or actual Elders if you rather are very few and far between in the whole of the human race. Stop acting like a bunch of f****** asses and your kids will stop acting like a bunch of f****** asses. You won't be able to be a better place didn't realize this f****** system that you want your children to be a part of so bad is the very thing that's killing Humanity. How about you learn to work with your children instead of bashing them for not being you. Go look in a f****** mirror you bunch of elderly hypocrites.
@@mehultrivedi732 The old school way is what's killing humanity and this country among other countries. It was created in the 17 century by the French Elite, or rather the newer French Elite that took power after the takedown and execution of the Royals IE Marie Antoinette and her husband among others. It's called The Noble lie and it's the concept of as long as you give people a goal it doesn't matter what that goal is they will do whatever you tell them to do when you tell them to do it and follow you off the edge of a cliff. It is nothing but paid slavery. And although a lot of millennial individuals just like a lot of individuals in the human race as a whole are misguided, there are those like myself who want to change the world for the better but because what we're trying doing act, just like other young Generations always have is change that's why they hate us. No matter if the change is for the good the dark or the gray. Because if change exists it means that the world isn't actually black and white and if the world isn't black and white then how can we continue to Pat ourselves on the back and feed ourselves this illusion that we have control over nature and each other.
I am millennial. I understand process, hard work and patience thanks to my parents. My mom used to tell me "you won't go anywhere in life if you don't have dicipline" and she showed me what dicipline, hardwork and patience were through things she did daily.
You had a great mom. You should thank her!!
awesome!
Yes, people like to stereotype your generation. The millennials are easy to mentor in my opinion. Gen X is like "I do what I want, don't tell me what to do".
My mom is the same way
That's great if you have parents who do that. Most parents of millennials just go about their own lives oblivious to the fact that they even had kids. Their kids have their own lives on social media and their Xbox and the parents leave them to it. The lack of interaction within the family pushes them toward social media to begin with.
People who are successful don't become that way suddenly. What most people initially see as wealth. A great career and a clear sense of purpose come from persistent hard work and hustle. I hope that anyone reads this will be prosperous in life.

BRILLIANT synopsis of the sad status quo, I was born in the 50s and fortunately realised early that anything worthwhile takes time and effort, and the subsequent rewards are truly gratifying and tangible.

I was born at the end of the boomer generation and I have all of those millennial problems. Had I watched this video back in the late 70s, I would have done the responsible thing and shot myself.
@Ligeia D.Aurevilly you are correct. The parents must stop babying them & let them become responsible & accountable. Sink or swim mentality.
@J'Quanöe Kwailé Corporations are not your friends.
No absolutely not what we need is to stop depending on the noble lie but you said this stupid f****** system is this f****** job system it is nothing more then the idea that is long as you give people a goal they will follow you off the edge of a cliff. We are paid slaves not hardworking individuals. We are working for absolutely nothing and that is what Millennials are trying to change all of them are not misguided some of them are trying to enact change through good methods like Elon Musk for example who is a millennial, the reason older Generations bash younger Generations is because they are afraid of change because of the world isn't black and white then how can we continue to feed ourselves the illusion that we have power and control over each other and nature. The noble lie needs to go it is killing Humanity as well as this country and other countries. You want to get to know any one particular individual from any generation then you get to know them you sit down and have a conversation with them and get to know them that way new crop on a piece of paper somewhere is going to tell you that. Youth is no guarantee of Innocence just his age is no guarantee of wisdom and to think otherwise is a completely laughable idea.
@J'Quanöe Kwailé humans are to blame for the problems that are affecting them not millennials.
Quitting instagram was the best thing for me to do! Honestly, everyone just do it!
It's not so easy when u have friends and family and constant interaction going on on Instagram!!!
Agree!
Same with Facebook!
It’s not so easy when you’re trying to make a living off affiliate marketing!
Never started.
Initially I felt like i am missing on so many things my friends do on instagram but now after 2-3 years that doesn't make sense. And the best part is I was always reading books cause I had nothing to do
I don’t have Twitter, Instagram and only open Facebook several times a year.
Ppl ask me, “Do you not have friends?” The answer is I do, I have enough. Yes I don’t have like 300 or however much ppl have on Facebook or any other social media. But I have enough and I check up on how they’re doing when we go have dinner or via text or phone, not by reading their posts on my feed. And I am so very grateful that I am not bound by the expectations constructed by social media, the insecurity that comes with comparing yourself to others etc.
Applelion1 the last part you said is everywhere 💯🙏🏼🙌🏼
I tried to get my socially linked friends to just txt me or call me. Or txt me n I'll call them. Asked for numbers from others who want to get off social media. No one wanted to do it. So I'm off most but I've got next to no friends now.
Bravo! You are defining yourself, not allowing others to do so. If you have 1 or 2 REAL friends, that's enough.
@@scottking3499 Reduce faux social media. It's often antisocial and nasty. Partake in activities that YOU enjoy, no matter what and possibly meet some people, in the flesh, with similar interests. Stay the course to better yourself and to develop new acquaintances, which may evolve into real friendships, over time. Good luck.
One thousand percent CORRECT!!! How do people not see this?!
I am a millenial, born in 93. And let me just say not all of us were born that way. My parents were amazing but always taught me to work hard for what i want and the world owes me nothing.
I was born in 93 and my parents taught me NOTHING about how the world really works. Today I have to fix my shit because of them.

I cried when i saw this vid during class
"Make sure you are happy in real life and not just in social media"
This is very very true. That is why i am changing my life in order to be happy in my real life and not put on a front. this video here really helped me out
you think youre happy in social media? youre in a matrix
Absolutely. Also, the people who are posting the most about how amazing their life is are boring people and usually still combat low self-esteem all the time. I need to use social media for my work as well so I can't cut it off but I only post and react to messages because everything else is way too dangerous.
Conversations with your mates when yous are saying "remember when......"are the best man,reminiscing an old memories absolutely creased
*nice*
I encouraged my daughters to do well in school, and was always supportive of them. But I was also honest with them, I told them you may go with your heart rather than your wallet in a choice of careers, however, realize that you might limit your material and recreational opportunities in life by doing so.
So figure out which is more important. My youngest said to me at her sisters college graduation, “I want to be one of the honored 4.0 graduates on stage when I graduate from here”. I told her, “I have no doubt that you will if you put your mind to it”., but I told her that because her of intelligence, organizational skills, and self discipline could have made it possible….and she did it. Both of my daughters “went with their heart” in career paths, and after much struggle are doing well. Your choices, willingness to struggle, patience, networking, getting off of social media, and seeing the world as it is, not how you feel it should be…all go a long way.
I have a friend who is also my doctor. His staff gives terrible service and he just complains about "this generation".
The ancient Greek complained about the younger generation too.
God put him in a spot to teach these young ladies and help them have more successful lives.
What a privilege! But he is not strong enough to sieze the moment and everyone suffers as a result.
Man up and do what you know God is calling you too. If you do it right, these young ladies will appreciate you the rest of their lives, your business will be more prosperous, and you'll grow too!
You either try to do your job to the best of your abilities or you don’t. No amount of training can make someone care about something they have no interest in. Nowadays workers just want to do enough to not be fired and nothing more
As a millennial I totally agree. Already gone through depression. Still havent found any goal in life. Just feels meaningless. The only reason why I didnt kill myself a few years ago, is bc no matter how shit this life is, its the only thing I have.
I know the feeling bro.

Simon struck on the exact points that pisses me off about the world today. No wonder people don't like me when I tell them about their bad phone habits, want of instant gratification or lack of perseverance. I commend him for stepping up on a global platform and have a discussion about this. More and more celebrities and influencers should be talking about these problems. It's the nucleus of human evolution.
Donny: you put it very well your self but yea i to think it is out of hand and how far this internets is in just twenty years
I try telling my spouse this , Yet she consistently disagrees.
noooo no no noooo... not celebrities and influencers... it has to be simon. simon words it just right. influencers will give their own twist on it, just like celebrities and the message will get distorted very quick..
but yes, he needs to go global
This dude is a great human! The fact that he see’s and accepts the problem puts him leaps and bounds above most in his generation.
thanks for telling... love u
literally all bad effects Sinek told are coming from the political LEFT !!!
He should probably be addressing younger generations too though. People act like kids are still millennials
accept problems that created by stupid ppl lmao that’s what you can do when working with stupid ppl in their company
He’s a snake and a grifter that’s never truly worked a hard day in his life
As a millennial myself,
I can say that everything he said brought tears to my eyes because it’s all true. I’ve always struggled with undiagnosed/untreated depression/anxiety since a child simply because my parents did “not have the time” to formulate a genuine and cohere relationship with me where I spoke to them about my mental issues. Still to this day I do not feel comfortable approaching them about my problems because whenever I try to, instead of understanding me and being supportive, they turn it back on me and make me feel like I am always the problem. I just learned to deal with it myself all my life. They also never forgot to mention that there are no friends in this thing we call life. I now realize that this is the reason why it is hard for me to keep consistent meaningful relationships in my life and why my natural coping mechanism is isolating which fundamentally makes it all worse.
They mostly focused on work, money, social status and materialistic things. I now have difficulties explaining how I feel because I do not know myself how I feel inside. There’s so much trauma and hurt that was swept under the rug that is now resurfacing in my early ages of adulthood. Despite this, I was always motivated and a go getter no matter the circumstances. It’s unfortunate that I can’t say that about myself anymore because often times I find myself over analyzing, feeling so unmotivated to the point where it is hard for me to get out of bed and get on with my day. I know there are so many other people out there that can relate to my story and it is unfortunate that the reason we’re like this is not our fault. Even though I don’t hate nor despise my parents for what they did/didn’t do, I really wish they would of taught me some skills to deal with this hard life as an adult because this shit is not easy. But I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will be okay as long as we re program our minds (subconscious) and let go of toxic habits.
To whoever reading this I wish you nothing but peace and blessings in your life. We’re all in this mental fight together. 🫶🏼
May you find peace Karina Santana. Find a really good friend you can discuss anything with who doesn’t judge you or criticize everything. This has helped me.
Important start to understand your capabilities and trust your self esteem without having an expectation on your LIFE, just follow your heart and do good no matter what, slowly things will change for betterment
Great words.
Perhaps consider guiding other young people through the hardships of what youve gone through and how youve made it this far.
Possible higher education in this area of expertise?
Well said btw.
I hear yea.
Karina, sweetheart, I so feel for you and your generation. What I don’t hear anywhere in any of these discussions, your’s and others, is the word love. Love is very powerful. It got me through cancer, and a long list of other challenges.
I am a boomer. Everything we wanted or needed in life required competing. There were too many of us. At times that was very exhausting. And it may be what underlies some of the behaviour of parents today. They too can say it’s not their fault.
What separates humans from other creatures on earth is our ability to choose. We can make that work for us or ignore it and continue on the same path. I really learned this when faced with looming death. I made the decision, the choice, to live. Today, with the love of family and friends, I am doing very well.
Friends do exist. With them you will find understanding, compassion and from time to time helpful advice.
To everyone, reach out, build strong, meaningful relationships and get the conversations going. And remember, It is not what you do that defines you. It is who you are that matters.
Now you have a friend in Argentina. Believe me. Best regards!

I work with people every day. It's a part of my job and I have friends literally around the world. I've had deeper and more impactful discussions about the state of the planet and means to help it with people mirroring my own age than I have with the older 'more in touch' generation. The Boomers seem to be able to make lasting relationships based on, exclusively, a limited and narrowed worldview that they share. My generation can push for different ideas.
Thanks for the timestamps :)
Incredibly inspiring and warm speaker. Thankyou..for expressing what as a mother and worker I see and worry about everyday. The difference between our childhoods is so vast and society is loosing its humanness. Vital message, Thanks
I completely disagree
Accidentally came across this video and my mundane gloomy Sunday just started feeling like a Saturday, happy and bright because of the wisdom he imparted. ♡
What's kind of freaky, is that even if you have the skills yourself, you're still surrounded by others who don't
Exactly.
This is the first time I see a video that someone tells you the whole truth about something and is a wake-up call before it gets out of our hands
The whole truth? Dickface blames corporate America. Blames the parents. Blames Social Media... Millennials fail because they blame everyone & everything except themselves. They are the generation of excuses. This dickface caters to crybaby excuses. you agree.. you're the problem. You're a dipshit

Thank you Simon.

It is refreshing to see someone stating all of the issues without looking down on millenials... he is right that the parents that do this are doing their children a great disservice and setting them up for failure. I also applaud him for challenging companies to help them.

Try therapy not TH-cam
@@rcartertoe Not everyone needs therapy. Simon is actually great w/ different perspectives and advice. That's why we watch & listen to the guy
So true. We have had the hardest transition to adulthood than any other generation. Think about it i am 26, when my mom was 26 she was married and planning a family, my grandmother was married with 3 kids at my age. People in those generations were also homeowners pretty young also.
I made a promise with myself to workout daily, sleep properly, have a good diet, spend time playing instruments with my cousins this quarantine, and what I get instead is an online learning school, math, science and deadlines, I don't feel happy, I feel stressed, I don't feel healthy, I feel worse.
Yeah, I thought when both of my jobs sent me home I would do well. I got Covid19 shortly after and have been struggling since. You could be struggling to breathe.
Still proud of you because you keep going. That's your strength. You keep going even life is tough. In the end of that stress, life makes you tougher.
God bless and keep safe!
Education is one part of life
Health is a major part of life
You can try atleast the dieting maybe?
Basic actions like having less added sugar and processed foods etc may make noticeable positive differences
if you are left to wander alone, you will waste your time on TikTok and Instagram. No self-promise provides commitment enough, especially while you are still in school. Only when life bashes your skull in a couple of times for not keeping your promises - then they will be worth something. Till then - learn what you have to learn to be able to work and earn money. And learn to cope with deadlines, not whine about them.
Keep working. No excuses
This dude is so right. I’m a damn 20 year old who went through quarantine and agree with everything he said. Good to hear the likemindedness.
but you’re gen z😭
Lmao we’re gen z buddy
Boo boo hoo for u. NEWSFLASH EVERYONE WENT THRU QUARANTINE DUMB ASS
I'm not a millennial, but I learned something about myself while watching this.
Actually cried watching this. This is the greatest motivational video I’ve ever seen
I cried too!
I am of this generation (2001) and i must say, that, it getting worse. My friendships are superficial, it's true, and every person i approached for "a deeper meaningful relationship", there is literally like none: zero. It's like my friends are putting a wall, and i cant past that wall, whatever i do.
I potray it like this: an insecure generations with problems with confidence (and attitude, too)
Try older friends! I always had older friends and now in my 30s have older friends and younger ones who are looking for meaningful friendships :)
You're a gen Z (1997-2012).
did you blame Trump for that wall?
I'm a 36 year old man who has lived this millennial life of depression loneliness and addiction I found this talk more on point than anyone I have heard in years
Have you been successful in overcame it?
I always tell my older kids and other older kids, use your gifts to serve others rather than serve yourself. That's making an impact in a positive way
Simon is right on the money. His message has an excellent blend of identifying the sources of the problem, showing compassion for the subject's struggles, and giving comprehensive solutions to help address a very complex issue.
He's right on the money as far as social media goes. I see too many young kids these days with their mobile phones almost surgically attached to their noses.
yes,well said😊
hm... the ad I saw at the end of this video was of a 20-something girl talking about how she travels the world and that Grammarly helps her make a difference as she travels the world. I use Grammarly, but this was ironic how completely accurate he is with his points.
Well, he isn't.
“They have fun with their friends, but they also know that their friends will cancel out on them”
And that’s why the word Friend is hard to take in use when trust has been misused countless times. Relationships feel the same way. Loneliness is real.
yeah, Both loneliness and true friendship have inertia (ie mass) to them. But you can't quit. If you quit, you guarantee nothing will change. If you refuse to quit trying, you will INDEED make better things happen. I have been desperately lonely, for many months at a time. One (relatively) easy therapy is to serve other people for part of your day, at least on some days. Sometimes you gotta sneak up on em when they're not looking. The older lady in the big store parking lot- you have to park near her, then "just happen" to walk by as she reaches her car. Then you help her, or at least take her cart and put it away for her. Buy a $3.99 bouquet of flowers for one of the older checkout ladies at the store. Hold the door for a mom and her kids. Help a guy load lumber at Home Depot. These things are small, and there is no way that they can be misinterpreted as you trying to manipulate someone. You have nothing to gain. That's when it is "service." It is rewarding, kind, and it is a way to not be lonely for a little while.
.
AND, you might accidentally meet a cute girl. But even if not, you've made the day a good day.
Gosh 😮 I’m 34 and definitely need to learn how to be patient. He is so right about instant gratification!! Even though I deleted my social media 9 years ago , there are so many other factors that get you without you realizing it.
If there’s one thing millennials will learn from previous generations is not to condemn mock or blame younger generations.
Yea even worse they condemn/mock the older generations
@@gloomywheel8378 Older generations are literally at fault for everything.
Younger generations do not come out owning big businesses. They don't get allowed, quite literally an age limit to be in congress, to take political office. Even when of age, it's very difficult to unseat incumbents who have solidified their power and created survival bonds with big donors and corporations.
@@minty6347 older generations are not at fault for everything you just like playing the victim and blaming all of your problems on circumstance. if you truly believe that young adults hold no place in politics you just must have not been following it the past couple years.
@@gloomywheel8378 It is getting better because young people saw what the older generations did so they are trying to fix it. So of course you're going to see an increase of young people in politics, that doesn't change the fact that the world is the way it is because the older generations fucked everything for profit
@@gloomywheel8378 Except for the fact that all older generations are literally responsible for all the big businesses and political leaders in office today.
Kind of hard/IMPOSSIBLE for new generations to time travel and take over socioeconomic systems still being developed and controlled (quite literally) by older generations.
But by all means, keep up the lie.
I tried so hard once I got into corporate, but everything you saying is true. Low self esteem, stressful, struggling to survive. After 10 years as a civil servant, I could no more. I felt unvalued, abused, lower than low in my self esteem. And to this day, I know I tried my best, I always went the extra mile because I knew I wasn't the smartest of people, but the environment was so toxic. People sometimes, can make you feel so lonely. And I dont want to build relationships anymore because I've been burnt, stabbed in the back by people I trusted and opened myself up to. The world is not the same. It's the best of times, it's the worst of times
I don’t know you personally, but I can tell you that people will always let you down in some way or another. People are innately sinful. However, Jesus will never fail you. He lived a perfect, sinless life and paid our punishment so that we can commune with Him and return to our Father. He is our greatest friend and will never fail us.
John 10:10 says, “The thief [Satan] comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come so that they [humanity] may have life and have it to the full.”
God wants you to have the most fulfilling life. Repent of your sins, believe in Jesus dying for your sins, and read the Word and pray to learn and commune with our magnificent God. If you do decide to read, I recommend starting in the book of John as it really shows who Jesus (who is God) is :) love you man!
@@justinmooney4424 you are kind thank you for your encouragement but I am Muslim, but ultimately we all rely upon God isn't it. He's all we have because people really are imperfect and we let each other down.
I'm just trying to live my life now by working on the trauma through spiritual, and therapeutic means so that I don't bleed on people who didn't cut me you know. Stop the cycle of spreading pain and anguish in the world, but it's easier said than done. I love Jesus and all the messengers. I love my fellow Christian brothers and sisters too I was also Christian and I love my family who still are and they love me too. God bless us and guide us all, forgive our sins and help us to be kind on this earth.
Obviously you've suffered and I hate that for you. But what you have described is called life. Ive worked in multiple settings since 1988 and only a few were uplifting and supportive. Things haven't changed from some golden era.

How to reshape your thought life
Your feelings and thoughts are NOT FACTS. When thoughts and feelings are allowed to run free, they'll PENETRATE your inner being and mess with you.
BUT when you set up a system to deal with your thoughts and feelings you'll start to DEFLECT harmful ones.
Right now your mind is like a strainer/seive that lets your thoughts and feelings through.
We're going to build a WALL OF TRUTH that will keep out FALSE, HARMFUL Thoughts
The system to change before u indulge in them
S - See it, Recognize it.
W - Why am I thinking/feeling this?
O - Say it out Loud
R - Is This Real? Is it True?
D - Defeat it. Call it out as a lie.
F - What are the real FACTS/TRUTH?
M - Make it your own. Say it out Loud. Repeat it
S- recognize your thoughts. E.g "I'll never be successful"
*Write* it down (especially if it's recurring thought)
W - take this as an Object. Pick it up and look at it apart from yourself.
Think _about what happened_ before you got this thought. (Your circumstances trigger your thoughts)
It makes your mind indulge in the victim/persecutor persona
O - thoughts and feelings shrink in our minds. Bring it out of your head and hear it for what it is (to truly judge your thought) when you bring things out of darkness to light you can see what they truly are.
R - is this real? Is it true?
"Finally brothers; whatever is TRUE, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is excellently praise worthy, think about such things" Phillipians 4:8
• Ask your trusted loved one (that really KNOWS you) "is this TRUE?"
ask yourself would I say this to my own child? (Its easy to say mean things to ourself but saying to our own child really brings words into perspective) and it's easier to spot the lie and do something about it. ..
D - Defeat it. Call it out as a lie.
Now that you recognize the lying thought you can defeat it out loud.
"I head you self doubt. But now you are telling me lies. I'm building my life on what's REAL & TRUE. So therefore, the lies are irrelevant to me. I'm choosing to shift my thought instead."
F - Facts/Truth.
Ask your loved one to tell you the truth about yourself.
You need this objective truth about yourself to defeat the lies. Focus on the truth about who you REALLY are.
Use the truth in scripture about your identity and value in Christ
M - make it your own
Say it slowly, out loud until it really sinks in.
Don't skip the part about not saying it out loud. It's not crazy. Sometimes you need to hear something out loud so your brain has enough opportunity to start believing it.
Pass this to someone if this helped you.
You can also talk to your grandparents. We grew up with dial phones, no TV, and played outside until the street lights came on, and lived in a world of creativity, exploration, and fun. When I retired, I gave away all of my technology and opted for a flip-phone for emergencies and I don't text. I watched smart phones kill real communication between human beings. I chose instead direct communication with other human beings, and the joy of being truly engaged, and the opportunity to really love and be loved. Nothing else counts.
Wish it was like the old times I think I have an old soul
it isn't killing anything.......
i only have one grandparent left, and she is a crazy asshole bitch. so no, i cant.
Today's parents don't allow their children to play outside.
Absolutely amazing. Simon just hit the nail on the head!! I have listened to this sessions many times and never get tired!!
"God and the Cross - where He sacrificed Himself because of His tremendous and unconditional love - are the only ones to fill that void... that missing piece."
Godbless! 💕
I should be a poster boy for this video. Literally everything he said was precisely my upbringing. I was heralded as a child prodigy throughout primary school and breezed through to grade 8 or 9 but once I needed to apply effort and not just raw talent, it all slipped and so did I. I kept telling myself what I had been told for all of my upbringing "youre special and so talented" So why was I not the best and smartest anymore. I am almost 20 now and tried to take my life 5 times last year. I 100% whole-heartedly agree with everything that was said in this video.
Hey man, I really appreciate you being so honest. I hope you're doing better and working towards that, successfully. Hopefully, you have a good support system in place, if not and you need someone to talk to, just hmu!
Umm, hi🖐️ Just saying, I'm freaking not well either. Everything I can do for you is just to say, you can make it better. See you don't have to be the smartest. You don't have to be the richest around. I'm 20 and darn I took me a while to figure that out. It's not easy to stop stressing and tell yourself "I did good, not the best but I'm happy about it" I've set my priorities straight. I've made a 10-15 year plan on how I WILL build my own café with commitment and hard work. As a start just flip that switch in your brain, you don't have to be the best but enough, just enough to be happy. Find something you like, wanna do. And do it because you want not to best everyone else. Then allow yourself to acknowledge that it will take quite a lot of time to achieve a goal. Set a goal and work on it. It's not going to be easy but I think in 20 or so years I'm gonna tell myself "I was worth it" Hope you'll be able to. Stay alive and work on making it better. (Also remember to get some rest sometimes too😌) Be well
Spend 1 hour a day to improve yourself. Either reading a book or going for a jog/gym. Do this for 1-2 months and it'll become a routine. Eventually you'll start feeling and getting better.
I've been depressed from 19-25 years old. Until I started to truly realise that only me myself can start to improve my life at 25, I was constantly thinking about suicide. Change starts with you and you're stronger than you might think. You might not be the best but you can always improve yourself. Even the world's greatest people have a lot to learn.
@@JohnDavis-im1oy I think you've missed the point John. As a matter of fact I am studying to be an astrophysicist. I am thoroughly enjoying the course and am on track to have my masters done before I'm 30. Also it's "You're not very good at anything" Have a great day
@@Impetratus I'm just gonna say, this is a perfect way to answer to such an idiot. I don't get people acting this way.
I am an elder millennial born in the 80s. I felt a lot like the person he describes until my 30s. Always feeling dissatisfied and a bit lost with my work efforts and pursuit of goals I couldn't quite settle on. It was a lot of seeking until I started a family with my wife. Since then my life mission has been clear. To provide, to father, to support and to TRY. You want meaning, you will then have to deal with the suffering and difficulty of it, they go hand and hand. Family is the key to life, the ultimate manifestation of meaning in my humble opinion, and the greatest act of creation. The problem that most of us have is we imagine the results, but most of life is the process. It feels hard and so we quit or feel the urge to do so. If you can walk away, then raise your stakes until it feels impossible to do so. Then you will be set free by the responsibility to commit. Life is hard. It is supposed to be, create anything and you will encounter challenges. The key is accepting this fact, putting your head down and walking through the storm. Take on responsibility, don't dodge it.
Life is not hard, not for anyone. It's your lifestyle. I'm thinking the same, but there're people having different thoughts about life. They learned to be satisfied, with whatever they get.
@@PabloSteuer when most of us say “life is hard”, they complicate more and more, it worsen the situation, it’s depressing, it brings more stress and pessimism, it doesn’t help, and i don’t know really if it’s an objective fact or not!!!!! Every instructor or expert (or who think he is) sells us just one way, they keep repeating this depressing things, i don’t see life is easy for, for my situation, for my depression, but in general, objectively, i don’t see how these talks and lectures will help actually! The art of being overall in a state of peace, satisfaction, gratitude, to be present often (not always if course) no matter what the conditions and the status most of the time, and now and here is an end in itself, the biggest goal, the goal that matters really, but really i don’t know if that possible, or maybe it’s “hard” (just like everything as they said)! And everybody claims that he has all the answers and he is perfect or semi-perfect!! From religions, to spiritual leaders, to coaches, to businessmen, to “pundits”!! Like wtf!!! After all of these repetitive lectures, what is their real impact on the world actually????How big is it????Whom does it affect???? Nothing groundbreaking or new or practical or genius or simple in a nutshell!!!
I appreciate your grit, but that notion of having to except misery to raise a family as part of your mission. I think it’s complete bullshit. I hate it that’s indentured servitude that slavery. It’s no way to live I mean it wasn’t like that back in the 50s people had fun at work they got drunk and shit late 90s was kind of fun too but I digress I think it was Joe Rogan and the other guy, Henry Rollins, Joe Rogan and Henry Rollins talked about jobs that make me miserable and killed them on the inside. You should check that out on TH-cam.
@@tonalddrump2981 Who said I was miserable? Read it again, I'm talking about finding meaning. If getting drunk at work fills your life with meaning, I guess that should be easy enough to accomplish. Not exactly what I'm looking for.
@@PabloSteuer Imagine a world where people accepted "whatever they get." No innovation or creation of any kind, just a bunch of naked people in a forest grunting at each other. It is not the human way, better to accept that challenges lie ahead versus pretend they don't. Entitled to think you can accept whatever you get when the world runs on people making your life better every day who aren't afraid to face massive challenges.
I'm Gen-X, and I lived 30 years before I had a cell phone, and my first one was just a phone; no such thing as "texting" for awhile. No "Social Media." No Internet in my home until I was 31. More than half my life I lived that way. I'm glad. When my wife and I go out for dinner, we see so many couples at restaurants waiting for the meals. They aren't talking to each other like we do. They are looking at their phones, interacting with people who aren't there. Sad!
its not sad. its evolution. your primitive mind should expand a bit. fear keeps you limited. Im a millennial and i do not have a facebook. i never received an award for last place. My parents never told me i was special or i could do anything i want. i had to scrap to get ahead and made it on my own 2 feet all while texting people on my phone during dinner even!
All the menus are on the phone now. It pisses me off since I work so hard to get focused time while we are out together and not be the couples on their phones...
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264 It IS sad when you go out to dinner w/ someone and instead of talking w/ one another, you're both on your phones. That's not evolution.
Your generation didn't really do anything but criticize.
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264 ah, and there is my big problem with millennials, and one that Simon doesn't really address. The arrogance. Millennials are incredibly and condescendingly arrogant. Like so many of them consider themselves "minimalists". That's great, good for you. But don't sneer and look down upon people who aren't. Also, don't try to force socialism/secularism on the whole country because you don't like capitalism and religion. America is great in large part because of those two things. Personal ambition in the case of the former, and humility in the case of the latter, which acts as a balance. You can also stop discounting the generations of the past anytime now. You have no idea what it was like live in their time, and "presentism" is a ridiculous concept. They built amazing things and institutions which we all benefit from today, and I am sure they were doing the best they could. Are you?
I am so grateful to have spent my teenage years in the 90's. Technology is wonderful, but definitely comes with a learning curve.
@@dieterrosswag933 Life is what you make it. You must be a shitty and boring person
90's was the best no technology your neighbours knew you said hello, you had close friendships what's not to like ? oh and guess what you actually talked to someones face omg
I don’t care about likes on social media, or people not liking me. People call me weird, but they fail to realize it’s them. Human interactions are highly important. Don’t waste your timing being around careless, lifeless individuals. Hang around people with a positive outlook on life, that actually has goals.
“Hang around ppl with a positive outlook on life, that actually have goals.”
Those ppl make me feel bad about myself given how much better they are and how so far behind I am
@@soberanisfam1323 because u haven't thought about ur goals yet. I had the same mindset but my friend inspired me to use my life.
@@bloop2804 you are right, and I’m not sure what goals are realistic for me given my intelligence (or lack of)…like if I want to be a surgeon, do I have the necessary mental capacity to achieve it? How about an engineer? Setting goals that might be beyond my potential will just further devastate me should I have miscalculated.
Don’t picture your dream life on your phone. Picture it in your mind.
don't picture it, make it real.
yoshi314 before anything is made in physical form, it has to be first imagined in the mind.
@@dyanag9192your life is not an object. it a series of choices, that do not have a physical form - unless you have some material accomplishments.
blah blah man lucid dream!
@ sometimes you just have to go it.
and i was not addressing the 'intellectuals'. i was adressing you.
Simon Sinek is brilliant in many ways and a fantastic communicator.
One thing he drops the ball on is that it ISNT JUST the responsibility of the corporations to help the younger generation figure out patience and how to derive satisfaction…it’s THOSE PEOPLES responsibilities first and foremost. If they don’t decide to own their part, ask for help, and then do something to make that change stick, nothing will be different.
I’m confident they can and that good leaders can help. The ownership piece is essential to accurately define.
I agree, but also, the problem started externally, and in the name of balance, an external factor needs to mitigate it before the pace of change can fasten. Corporations have the power to create such a change, more so than Boomer parents (who were just teaching us what worked for them when economic and social pressures weren't so prevalent, and are way behind the times) and with that power comes some responsibility. But I do agree, as a 38 year old man, I and many of my peers need to work hard to catch up. There's a problem in middle management 🤣
Everything you want, you can have instantaneously. Everything you want, instant gratification... Except job satisfaction, and strength of relationships... there’re ain’t no app for that. That is true Simon
Exactly that is one of the thing i agree with those two things require effort.
I am 16 years old and I enjoyed and learned every part of this video. Much love
Happy for you that you got these ideas in early age, i wish i had those in your age.
Some of us actually had it differently. Millennials in 3rd world countries didn’t have parents who wanted to give them everything but on the contrary we were raised by very tough and harsh circumstances and by parents who were merciless in most cases because there is nothing much to live off. So to generalize the first world and Western world millennials to the rest of the world is not accurate.
So you happy with your life?
Reaper Merc Happy with what I made of it and what I made of myself, yes.
@@sihamstakeon3445 I'm glad, truly, I am.😊

Us third world millennials have to be tough, not as like US snowflake generation
From time to time, I am realizing how poor I am conducting my life and sharing it upon others. I really like the point of view of this video. Thank you so much.
Thank you, amazing. It's so sad, I can't find anyone to hang out with who doesn't pick up their phone. I leave mine at home all the time, connecting with the actual world. The other day I saw a group of little birds dive-bombing a hawk. It was amazing. If I was looking at my phone, I wouldn't have seen that amazing sight. The world around us is so beautiful if we just look up and notice things. Nature, not technology.
joia b
VERY TRUE!
PREACH!
@Matt Ludwig thank you! It's nice to know someone else feels the same way
This is why the world is continuously changing for the worse. Apparently people have better things to do than pay attention to what's going on with their own lives. I guess we should just trust other people to make all the right decisions that are in our best interest. Very sad.
I deleted all my social media’s and I feel so good! I swear I’m closer to god in sincerity and I feel way better when I wake up ❤

Lol...
I truly accept the line for myself, we are growing up in a facebook-instagram world. we are good at putting filters on things. we are good at showing people that life is amazing even though I am depressed. my friends are thinking I am living amazing life and so jealous about it without knowing that fact how depressed I am from deep inside.
Amazing video. I am millennial, and luckily, I don't feel identified with those features. I like to see the world, sometimes alone, because I am surrounded by people with phones. Thank you for sharing these. It's really inspiring. ❤
I'm an idealist too (19 yrs old) At each and every achievement of mine, my parents have asked me whether I wanted a phone. I said no. I needed a Tab. And wherever I might go, it stays at home.
I deleted all my social media except for whatsapp with only the family and friends I know on it. Because the superficiality of people on social media didn't sit well with me. Now I can just update and stay updated about those I care about.
Not depriving myself or anything but that's my natural instinct. Guess seing my brother (social media addict) and mother (social media stress reliever) have unconsciously made me realize how rude and lonely it is to have people on social media when there are people around you.
I take an old phone in case my parents need to check where I am and it doesn't have internet. Honestly can't count the number of times I've been scolded for not answering the phone. But it's just my nature that when I'm out my phone goes to the deep corners of my bag, is on silent and never makes its presence known until I realize I have to call my parents to go back home.
Also I have a bad anxiety of losing it. (I lost the one good phone I once got to take pictures.. and I took that as a sign that God's saying, Child you dont need a phone, don't give into the demands of the world)
Also, a few years ago the society in which I live in would frown at any teenager carrying a phone and I guess the feeling that having a phone is wrong just stuck with me.
Hmmm, I also don't like to bring my phone everywhere and I also keep it on silent in my backpack. I am 15 years old and I noticed that probably 95% or more of the students at my school love to go on their phones, text, take pictures of themselves, they scroll through tons of images on social media. It kind of bothers me when I see this, they are addicted and not paying attention to their school work.
This is a prime example of why being a "Boomer" is more of a mindset than just being part of a generation.
today's "boomer" is basically being anything different than millennials and Z's. (I'll ok boomer myself out)
@@OXKucukoks Ok boomer
People blame the world for my generation, despite the fault mostly lying with the older ones. They made an unsustainable, broken, hilariously inefficient system and told us, from childhood "You'll fix this, one day."
We grow up, we move out, we have lives. we try to fix their world, but they won't let us even try. Because they know best and we're just kids. Despite the fact that there are members of this generation helping their kids find colleges.
Aszhara - EXACTLY..!!!!
That was going to be my exact comment
Azhiru - right, I’m Gen X, and I’m so sick of everyone blaming Millennials for the world they inherited.
Simon Simonek can fuck off.
He does not speak for anyone but himself.
Kudos to the interviewer for letting Simon speak and showing wisdom and a great listening skill.
You know it's a hard wire to walk on, when you had less as a child. You want something completely different for your child. But those hard times also taught us how to acclimate a serious trait that one needs in this world. I'm a victim. My mom was on crack, she would leave us home many weekends, we were on welfare. So I did what I thought was right. I wanted my son to always be happy. But that's not real life. It took me 14 years of his life until I realized the very serious mistake I had made. Fortunately for my son and me, he's very resilient like his mama, but most are not as fortunate. 🤔
I am 53 years old and I became one of these millennial. Seriously.
Except for the work part, I became a workaholic, working 7/7 , with my phone in my pocket. Fb became my best friend, my emotional link to the world.
Last year, I decided to drop my job for sometime. I quit social media, stopped watching tv, stopped shopping, stopped wasting money, I started to live for myself and therefore reclaimed my life back. My iPhone batterie isn’t charging after 6 years and I am not getting a new one. After 7 months off, i am so happy, i am living the outdoors, enjoying staying home reading books, play guitar now, do huge puzzles, build Star Trek models, clean my roof, gardening, road bike riding, commuter cycling, I haven’t used my car 7 months now, I mountain bike too, indoor climbing, play soccer, running, walking , bird watching. I have reclaimed my health, my happiness and joy, no stress. I have lost all my friends but it’s ok. At this point, it is all about me.
Millennial are not the only one suffering. I am no longer a slave. But I agree with the video.
I too, grew up in the early eighties, in the projects no less. But it was the south. We had skateboards, Punk Rock, and weed. In the summer during the day we were at the public pool having a blast. In the evening it was dinner with the family, and we mostly ate vegetables. The evenings were spent skating, goofing off, and smoking weed. We had four TV stations, but mostly watched PBS. Cosmos, Nova, and Dr Who were some of my favorites. For radio we had classic top 40's, and college stations, these were the best. We also spent time camping out and fishing. The last place you wanted to be was inside. When school was in session, after school was spent making out, and doing homework with your sub-genius girlfriend. Plus watching Dr Who. Saturday was date night, so it was you your best friend and girls. We usually went skating or to a movie. When you got home it was time for Saturday Night Live. When I finished High School I went into the Navy for six years.
I currently work in IT as a Data Center Manager. These are my memories most precious. Life was by no means easy, and at times very difficult. But things have a way of working out provided you are persistent.
if you lose your friends due to becoming proactive, they werent really friends to begin with. well done !
Noel Carol you’re are so right, thank you for your kind words 🥰
While I don't necessarily disagree with anything he said (former high school teacher and millennial myself), there are definitely parts of the equation that are missing from his analysis.
I agree that the parenting strategies that were used on our generation weren't the best. An over-correction from the way many of our parents were raised (they felt their parents were too strict on them and never wanted to do that to their kids). I respect that he doesn't blame the millennials themselves as so many older people do.
But I don't think you can explain what's happening with millennials without talking about the differences between the world we were promised and the world we have. Growing up we believed that our lives would be relatively like those of our parents; we would be able to work to put ourselves through college if necessary, we would come out of college with a decent job which (while not our dream job) would be able to provide for us and allow us to start a family.
Yes some of us were told that we're perfect and special and deserve to have everything we want and that's a problem, but more often we were told that if we followed certain steps that life would be okay, we would be able to support ourselves. Only that's not how things turned out. The price of education skyrocketed to the point where only the wealthy can go without accruing insane amounts of debt. Meanwhile the value of that degree decreases as more people get them, saturating the market and requiring even higher levels of education to be competitive. In many cases the jobs we're getting right out of college (when we can get them) are better than what our parents had but somehow with worse pay. There is a delaying to adulthood in this generation because for many it doesn't make financial sense to leave their parents right away and start life on their own.
Seems to be mostly a North American problem, in Norway and i suspect our closest neighbors education is reasonably cheap and most jobs pay reasonably well. Problem is insane house prices and taxation but most people can support themselves if they choose to live in rural areas or small apartments.
my dad was able to feed a family and purchase a house and a car with a wage to 30k a year that he got when he finished college.
We live well.
His story was not an exception . Most people were able to get a degree and afford a house and feed a family.
Now.. try to find a millenial who was able to do that!! Does anyone know a millenial who was able to afford a house and a family with a college degree? Show me one!!
"without talking about the differences between the world we were promised and the world we have." Yea, um, "like", you are not "promised" anything. Remember the past, don't relive it. Soooooo, college is now expensive, women and immigrants in the workforce have made jobs scarce, and college doesn't provide the return-on-investment? Um, some advice: It's not your degree,..... it is what you do with your degree. That hasn't changed. If you can't afford the $50K car, then you buy a $10K car. College no longer is about education. College is about getting the degree and networking (classmates and alumni) for those that want the expensive educations.
The same issue I have with "I can't afford to move out"..........is the same issue I have with Seniors that say they can't afford the cost of living in retirement. TAKE IN ROOMMATES! New college grads: You are not going to buy a condo or a house out of college and have your own palace....unless you are a Trust Fund Baby. Start dealing with interpersonal relationships. Start learning how to pay rent, pay bills, pay for your healthcare. The longer you put it off the harder it will be.
