- Опубліковано 14 лют 2021
- Simon Sinek explains what concerns him most about millennials is their growing addiction to technology and social media - for which there are currently few solutions. However, he believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together, using technology to improve our lives. Simon is best known for popularizing the concept of WHY in his first TED Talk in 2009. It is now one of the most watched talks on the internet, with over 100 million cumulative views.

Using social media too much is really WASTING YOUR OWN LIFE to watch another person’s life!
I hate my life am always behind my keyboard or my phone all the {time} :(
Wow what a nice saying 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@bookchannel7062 Could help with that, i am a hypnotist :D If you need help let me know.
❤️💯
Yes, in the back days, we didn’t have so many musicians and most of them are low key profile. We don’t even know they were existed. Until social media came and MTV is losing and it blew up so many musicians and it’s impossible to hear them all!
I deleted my social media 2 months ago.
Absolutely no regrets. I got sick of the gossip, drama, and people faking their lives. It was revolting
Same. I did it at the start of the year and I feel so much better. I don’t miss it at all. I keep messenger to keep in touch with friends in my home country, but all the rest is gone besides UA-cam for reasons like this. I like to educate people on this stuff and open peoples eyes to this problem.
UA-cam also qualifies as social media.
@@unduloid Wrong, I use UA-cam as a learning platform and it’s also an excellent source of income and traffic
@@ChrisPTY507 It's still social media.
@@unduloid While it’s still social media, it can be a more creative and productive form, depending on how you use it. Same with Pinterest. For example, some people learn better visually so watching a tutorial for a recipe or craft to try can be helpful for them. Long story short, not all social media is the same.
I've deleted facebook and Instagram and focussing on reading, growing and reskilling to build a life full of meaning and purpose. I first heard SImon Sinek speak about 4 years ago and it really resonated with me and sparked my personal development journey. Its been hard and tough going, especially with the Pandemic, I've really put myself under the microscope and asking myself hard questions in order to find my WHY
Keep it up
Deleting is also not the solution... Try to face it, control yourself.
@@rajatchetri3404 Yeah i torally agree with u
For me, i think you delete Facebook or anything else that help u update info day by day. It is better than if you still use it and control it. And i am sure u, i and everybody can do it
@@rajatchetri3404 What makes you think so ??
I guess Facebook and Instagram are destroying our life instead we can learn languages, investing and read books and watch movies
Agreed. I was born in 71 and I have never understood the fascination of watching someone else’s life while putting yours on hold. I have no social media , I’m out there living!
Um, youtube is a social media as well and if not careful, can be just as harmful as facebook, instagram or any other platform.
And wow, 72 likes to your statement truly indicates how blissfully ignorant most people can be.
reading a book or watching a movie is being fascinated by a fake story. I spent half of my childhood in a fantasy world and don't particularly regret it
@@Alex-sr3cm here it's easier to break out of the trance of watching other people's lives. Content here is more varied and less personal
I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT!!!
I stopped watching television, using facebook and instagram since mid July 2020 and have never felt better. I don't really have any urge to be recognised or need to show others what I'm doing or what I have. I'm at peace finally.
I think that uterly ignoring the social media is not right approach. The next generation will deal with digital world. We all should deal with it. The balance between concentration and distraction is the key. Completely ignoring social media we are becoming stale and not effective. SM is a part of our life. We should learn how to live with it.
How do you deal with press and magazines, and having no information for small talk on coffee time or train, bus or metro talkers?
@@rosaliadelossantos7215 small talk = small benefit, definitely minimize junk info
But it does give you insight into the idiocy that your alleged friends are willing to share.
Same here, I deleted everything with exception of UA-cam.It's been well over a year now "F" facebook, snapchat, twitter and television It's all dramatised propaganda designed to distract people from reality.
I agree and I permanently deleted all social media (except UA-cam which I use for DIY and motivational videos only) and haven’t missed it for one second. In fact, I’ve been much happier.
I do the same thing I unplug for months at a time then when I come back I see I haven’t really messed nothing it’s the same thing the same distractions
it's a tool, use it wisely for GOOD ... youtube has also a social media part of it, and you can share realistic advice/s to others
Isn't youtube still a form of social media?
It's so toxic.
@@ironDsteele totally depends how you use it
I got rid off social media about a year and I never looked back. I have noticed myself being more self aware and a lot more aware of my surroundings. It was one of the best decisions I have made. The moment you realise it is not for you and you don't unnecessary validation is the moment of being really awake.
Then how are you watching UA-cam and commenting
@@sonias9722 UA-cam is just too light too handle than other socmed which has lots of hate contents, propaganda, bragging of people for their achievements which ignites negative emotion such us jealousy or envy. UA-cam is so useful for tutorials and things I want to learn for my character development. And nothing wrong to quit from FB, X or Instagram these are gasoline that might severe my depression.
When you ignore people who care for you in real life in exchange for an online fix don't always expect them to forgive and forget .
If forgiveness is not given then that’s an issue they’ll have to deal with God about that. That’s an important one.
Totally agree. I was born in 1984 and I'm just old enough to remember the old ways. When we left home without a phone , ext, ext. Life was good. It was slower. It was fulfilling and wholesome. Life today feels so artificial
born 1984 aswell good year to be born... just before the boom of technology and we where still riding bmx bicycles.. man i miss those times
Artificial is a great word to describe it.
N fast
You go out to have a soda and some idiot wants to take a picture for instagram.
The millennials hold an important piece /role on striving the balance between social media consumption.
I was born in the early 90's and remember the use of dial up internet, phones that had no internet, playing in the park was a blessing, your friends were kids who lived in the same neighborhood as you. You had a community that was local.
Technology is suppose to help us connect to others slightly further way, i.e your aunty who lives 5 miles away. Now it's used to disconnect from the real world and please those you don't even really know! 😥
It does sadden me. You never see kids playing outside anymore. I've seen so many people walk into a busy street completely unaware of traffic because a device had them snared. Take a breath. Look up. See your world. Interact. Give a stranger a smile. So much is being missed.
🙄 ☺️
😘
Come to Japan 😎
I moved to TX, USA from NZ and I was SHOCKED at how quiet the streets and residential areas are... everyone's inside! its insane
So true 😔
almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of tic-tac-toe. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one).
I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me.
The doctor said id never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life.
I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace.
I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse.
They blamed me for the abuse they did to me.
To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal.
Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them.
I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable.
I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills.
But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me.
The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along.
He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart.
HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME .
Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I work a job and am totally healed , full of joy.
I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU
HE. LOVES. YOU.
Nuff said.
Thanks for sharing your amazing testimony. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. God bless you!
Well done 👏
There’s no such thing as a suicide attempt, if you want to do it just do it
Another one
What a story, thank-you for sharing. May you have everlasting peace, God bless you.
I am glad I listened to this on my way back to home after playing in the basketball court. It reminds me how great it is to put down my cellphone and go outside with family enjoying the fantastic time. Nothing is free in the world. When you thought you’re using the social media apps for free, you’re devoting time on something you’ll never get paid off and you’re losing something that’s truly valuable.
Simon changed my life when I watched him on Tom Bilyeu & a few other channels. I gave up all social media platforms except UA-cam over 3 years ago & it changed my life. In the first year alone I read 45 books. I rediscovered my passion for books & became very present in my life, you will not regret it & your life will change so much 💫
How do you get yourself to read?
@@LeviSky7 I set myself a goal of 10 pages a day & 20 minutes of an audio book, it will gradually increase naturally over time. I can never commit to one book at a time but it helps when your trying to implement new habits. This wasn't a problem as I no longer had social media as a distraction. In the beginning it was quite difficult & there was alot of resistance but it does get easier.
@THE BONILLA-TAN FAMILY Oh my goodness I have so many that I love but I will list a few below. I've read these more than once.
Pure gold 💫
* Atomic Habits
* The four agreements
* Think & grow rich
* The power of now
* Outwitting the devil
Hello! What I'm doing now to get myself to read is to leave my phone one hour before going to bed and instead I read a book. Hope it helps you!
Hey I have stopped having social media for 3 years. I am currently 18. I realised I live so much better. There are pros and cons but overall I feel better. Less pressure I would say. However since BLM came about again last summer and many other issues around the world I felt completely ignorant. I felt oblivious to what was happening around the world as I was disconnected by the world. I decided to keep UA-cam and Twitter and I start to get more news and information.
It does take a lot of discipline to NOT let social media steal our time. Make sure you are happy in real life NOT just in social media 🖖
Exactly!
smart man
App restriction
Exactly!
@@damnnsupercalifragilistice3935 how to do that? Heeelllppp meee
It's actually really sad but also really scary, when you think about it. Social media slowly eats up your brain little by little. Until nothing is left but emptiness in your soul.
Born in 1987 and I remember the 15-20 minute walks to elementary/ highschool without a phone. Meeting up with friends on the way and just, joking around and laughing the whole time. I'm a HS teacher now and man, times have changed.
Absolute gold, 1985 here enjoy your life
This is gold, not only for our children but for ourselves!
Jesus is the answer for the world today, above him there's no other, Jesus is the way!
The only one besides him is God, in which he is Jesus in human form.
We’ve been given actionable advice, and you suggest we replace that with a silly myth. Wake up. You have agency!!!
No one and nothing can beat the person who doesn't give up!
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy
Death can
Giving up is not a bad thing. Sometimes giving up is okay. Tying your worth to your job is not healthy and can be very destructive. Hard work does not always pay off, especially if it is at the expense of everything else in your life.
Trite and unnuanced statement.
False
Everyday I feel thankful for my parents who taught me how to balance my phone usage along with my life. When we were at a dinner table, phones and electronics went into my mom's purse. When it was time for bed, we left phones in the kitchen. At 21, I'm not addicted to my phone, I can go days without using it and I only ever pick it up when my mom, dad, or husband call me
Admittedly, it can be lonely because I'm not friends with people my age. They're all so busy with their phones. I remember trying to make friends in my community college classes, and they all just buried their faces harder into their phones, not one person wanted to speak, but they only spoke to each other through messages and Instagram posts. It was like that example you gave, where you're sitting with someone, trying to talk to them, and they go "Uh huh, mhm."
I don't know what the future will hold, but I know that when I have kids, I refuse to let them waste their life looking at other people's lives through a screen 24/7.
Yes! The phones in the kitchen is so true! I am grateful my parents were strict with technology now in hindsight... However during my adolescence it was very difficult as I couldn’t relate to people my age. I am glad for the childhood I had!
The timing of this is perfect, considering that social media is now a propaganda tool.
for real. That's what I've been seeing every time I see a hate thread being posted on my instagram feed everytime I open it up.
It’s always been a propaganda tool. Even 12-13 years ago. Everyone goes to there own little corner of it and blocks out what they don’t agree with and lets in only people who don’t challenge their views.
@@chemoboy-dannypheleps9234 True, but now the bias of the people who own/run the social media outlets is being exposed.
@Nicholas Weng Facebook.
I'm studying social media marketing and yes! you are 100% correct. I'm seriously considering closing my FB account because of it.
“Change equals self-improvement. Push yourself to places you haven’t been before.” ―Pat Summitt
I grew up in the 90s and remember going outside to play. My first device was a gameboy, you could t get me away from it, and than it was iPods, than the touches and now smartphones. I spent so much time on social media as a teen and I had a job that I felt paid me just enough. A few years ago I got off social media and don’t use it at all anymore. Earlier this year I realized I was depressed and stuck at the same job for 10 years. I made a very difficult decision leaving that place because I was comfortable but now I have a career in a company I can grow with, and six months in I’ve already been promoted and gotten 2 pay raises. It’s all about having the courage to do what you believe is right for you, not the approval of others around you or people who follow you on the internet. Just do you.
I'm a millenial and I can totally relate to everything that you said. I blamed myself for not being good enough. But now I work at my own pace, look only at myself, see how better I have got than yesterday and it feels proud. I am much happier. Thanks Simon, you're doing a great job!
I miss the time that we didn't have cell phones and social media. I never felt so alone in my life. Being with someone that is always on his phone and can't have a normal interaction is so frustrating. You talk to them and they are glued to that piece of technology
Точно
And the effects of social media, like isolation & depression is increased even more so because of the pandemic & everything that 2020 brought upon the world. The corona kids growing up in this... I can’t even imagine🥺
Giving that much power to a year is dangerous...focus on how YOU process events...that's all we can do right now...focus on you and yours. 2020 is a Year....the people in it matter....and I would never stigmatize anyone as a "Carona Kid".
It's not the "pandemic" it's the idiotic response to it that's the problem.
Honestly, me and my children have spent more time talking to each other and just chilling around the house during lockdown periods than we ever get a chance to do normally. I guess it’s different if you live on your own but I feel like the pandemic brought me and my family closer.
I’m so grateful for my relationship with God, Christianity, the belief of the afterlife and my church community. It’s freed me from this very specific issue
I have a nihilistic and stoic way of viewing life but I respect all beliefs and I'm so happy other people are happy too
Me too 😁🙏🏽
When you get rid of social media; you’ll understand that all of these “world issues” that you should care about...don’t exist. Then you have to deal with your real problems.
I don’t miss it for a second.
Very correct and truely said
I think this fits more with gen z than millennials. As a millennial I still remember my childhood when we didnt have cell phones, when we had to go outside and play.
Our generation still has a problem though but the generation after us has it worse.
Yep this is what I was thinking, it definitely seems more like a gen z problem than millennial, obviously not all millennials are excluded but definitely primarily a gen z problem
facts. as a millenial i have fond memories playing outside when i was young when life was still simple. i started using social media more frequently when I started working.
Way back when you had to walk 20 feet from your parents' car to the front door of your school.
Same here. I was born in 2000 and I have to say that I would play outside for hours.
I say it fits with millenials to be fair our generation remembers a time before social media.
*I will succeed for my parents, for all they have made for me! I hope you will too!!*
My parents are 1 of my biggest motivations!
You should do it for yourself
My mom use to say that every achievement is for yourself. I never understood until I got older. Had I understood that I might have worked even harder.
@Actually Business, Some people don’t have good parents, and some people don’t have parents at all. You shouldn’t assume that everyone is as blessed as you are.
@@Laptopdog78 who or what is your motivation?
Your business will make you rich but investment makes and you keep you wealthy, we all deserve to be successful and have financial freedom, I pray everyone here becomes successful
@Hart Thim You're right, it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
I'm looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I have about $6k sitting in my savings
Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
@Caro Sullivan same here, I wish I knew about this Bitcoin trading earlier, brace up and get yourself some Bitcoin before it's too late

Sooooo true i am born 1994 got my first gameboy at age 6 then nintendo playstation computer mobile followed... I became addicted to alcohol, porn and social media and had big difficulties studying and focusing.. not until age 25 i had enough and detoxed myself changed my life and learned how to learn, how to focus, how to build healthy habits and began to go to college for civil engineering again after i failed hard at age 20 and my grades are so good i could not have imagined a few years ago... my life was so empty and frustrating thank god i escaped the vicious addictions and habits... it`s like my life just started and i was a zombie before... maybe my story encourages someone reading this.. God bless you guys ♥

I left social media for good tonight and for my mental health.
Same
I am going through most of the things you have said, and i have to say thank you for opening my mind, the language and mindset of leadership is lost, and ignored th feeling most of the time but now i see its a problem that i need to train myself out of as it makes my life miserable when it shouldn't be. Big up to the speaker and whoever uploaded it.
Years ago Oprah Winfrey interviewed a family of 4 addicted to their computers and cellphones, I watched the show thinking how can they be addicted to these gadgets. Many years later smartphones made it to my country and I'm here with my kids battling with social media addiction. I look back thinking how simple life was back then, there was no instant self-gratification, seeking validation from strangers on the internet. Life was great, however, I know what the problem is now It's a matter of dealing with the situation. The responsibility and power to change lies with social media users.
This was a great comment!! Thank you for your insight and experience.
Take off those rose-coloured glasses. Life was just as crappy, only for different reasons.

I'm a Millennial, thank you for this video, it reminds me to become more balance with real life and internet. Thank you Mr. Simon and Motivation Madness.
No social media for this guy. I went down that rabbit hole and felt the pain that was associated with it. NO MORE.
JUST GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA!!!! trust me it feels amazing
somewhere along the line social media was supposed to be a tool for communications. it got corrupted.
If you can't change the world, change your attitude. SM maybe useful. The question is how to spend time with it. If you are learning something, developing your skills from SM - why not? The main thing - don't waste your time on SM, learn from successful influencers.
I kept messenger
Yeah after these nonsense lockdowns.
People need to start reading the classics again!
I am with you, classics should be a must, but at the same time it seems to me absolutely utopian. Everything pushes you to silly entertainment. Fortunately one can use their leisure time as they like (so far...)
@@adz75you're absolutely right. Power has always tried that, but now its methods are so sophisticated due to new technologies that influencing people has become way easier. Even conscious parents who are aware of the dangers of being so engaged to smartphones and tablets and ladtops do not know how to detached their children of all those devices, bewildered between the Scylla of saving their children's mind and the Charybdis of making them kind of outliers. What a pity.
It is really hard to let go of social media. The craves keep coming and coming until you reinstall the apps and get hooked again.
Don't uninstall, delete your profile

@@hallucinathann I swear I want to ...😥
@@gloforfitness I deleted my Instagram and Snapchat accounts 2 months ago and it does feel hard at first, but I have ZERO regrets. You will be in a room with your friends and realize just how addicted everyone is to their phones. I was on a summer trip with about ten people a month ago and someone said we should all go watch the sunset... We get outside and everyone snapped one picture, maybe watched for 20 seconds and then went back to being on their phones. Makes me really sad seeing people waste their time scrolling or talking to people who aren't even there rather than enjoying the moment with the people you are physically with.
@@clayreardon9935 I totally understand what you mean.i have seen how addicted we all are to our phones and I have decided to quit.
I want to concentrate on my goals and dreams because at the end of the day,I end up spending so much of my time on social media just consuming.Im following this same path of dopamine detox and by the way keep it up because all this needs a lot of discipline.cheers
having grown up during the time before internet, it is a relief to find someone with the same perspective and concerns about device addictions as I have.

The #1 thing I don't do first thing in the morning is checking my phone. Hate it. It's stressful. 💓
Not really into motivational speeches, but this one is outstanding! Reasonable, logical, and spot on.
I have heard him so many times. Can't agree more. He's absolutely right but this addiction of Social Media is so bad and is difficult to quit.

I've experienced it in first person, and believe me, don't make that mistake. I am finally doing something about it and it's powerful the change is making in my life. Focus on what's really important to your life, and don't get distracted. We all have a mission which is waiting to be accomplished. Let's get it done people.
So powerful! Parents and media is to blame because there’s no control of the devices and the amount of time spent on these things. Thank you for speaking about this .
This is really going to help my life and relationship with my wife and children coming up… really glad I felt to watch this video this morning… my life just got better. Thank you
Seriously some of the most profound UA-cam content I’ve come across. Thanks for this.
This is terrifyingly accurate. One of my friends ended his life recently. Needles to say it was quite a shock..
I wish I could've helped him somehow, but I had no idea how he was actually feeling.
He was very outgoing, smart and we'll dressed guy. Looking at his social media, you'd laugh at anyone who said he wasn't happy... Even a few days before this incident, what he shares is him horse riding and enjoying the sun. And yet, there was nothing but a dark storm inside...
Please ask your loved ones how they feel. You never know when is the last time you get to see them.
Every day is a chance. Look at the human near you. This person need you as you need others.
@@izabelahanko4392 I agree, and now instead of just asking "How are you doing" I also try to ask "how are you feeling today".
you can ask the question, but will they answer the question truthfully or tell you a lie to make you stop asking the question?
Instead of sounding concerned by asking the person how they are feeling, just check in with them every so often and socialise, make them feel they belong and matter. Simply be there for them when they need you the most. I think that sense of belonging and worth is important to constantly re-enforce to one another.
@@anthonylee8252 Very true, and as much as I would like to do it, there is only so many people you can keep up with.. I stay in touch with those very close to me, but the ones I don't get to meet often, I just try to do what I can.
This is why the power of the mind is “ESSENTIAL” feed your mind things that you can grow from, like a walk in the park, a book, look at the stars ✨.. the answer we are looking for is in part there! not mindless things that feed your “ego” “Don’t live in your head, you belong somewhere higher” we live in a time where you can hide behind technology and be anything you want, shame! You can be anything you want if your true to the one person that matters most, “yourself” ✌🏻
You're forgetting the King of Kings, Jesus Christ!
Thank you.
The modern world is a sea of distractions. Only those that can successfully avoid them can succeed
True
@Giovanni Garcia so true people have stopped being and just appearing, yea country life's much better people everyday celebrate life they live live everyday they don't pretend to being, i wish i was born in the 60 i would love to join the movement
So true
So true.... you stole my thoughts!!
Too much distraction not only that but stalling our lives loss of focus losing yourself..we just need to learn how to decipher. I don't believe avoiding can work but we can weigh up what is worth our time but first you need to find yourself control yourself take the time.
I’m 25 years old and my life is slowly moving forward.

5# Stopped playing video games
6# Stopped having instant Gratification
I’m slowly getting back my life, And a happier life.
I have limited social media to a minimum and I don't care that I'm out of the norm...
I'm 53 and don't have kids but man the last few minutes of this video made me cry. It's so deep.
I'VE BEEN SEEING POST EVERYWHERE ABOUT FOREX TRADING AND CRYPTO CURRENCY, A LOT OF PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THINGS ABOUT THIS TRADING PLATFORMS PLEASE CAN SOMEONE LINK ME TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN PUT ME THROUGH...?
All you need is a professional trader to avoid
making losses
As a beginner who don't understand how
Bitcoin trade really works and you really want
to make profit from it. I will advise you to first
start working with a professional
Because my portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading, I just don't know what I do wrong!
I have also been trading with her. profits are
secured and over a 100 percent return on
investment
Investing in crypto is a plan for the future so
it's high time people understand the
importance of investment.
Love this video, the message is so deep we need to live , laugh and love more than trying so hard for attention and validation .just to be here in this world is a blessing we need to value that more than anything.
This is absolutely the BEST video/talk I have EVER heard regarding the toxic effects of social media. It's too bad that this video is not mandatory to show in every single school, each and every year starting in 2nd grade. The sad thing is, it most likely would not do a darn thing to curb or stop this massive addiction to social media. We, with a "refernce point" before the internet/cell phones/social media may be older, but we sure were lucky to be born when we were. We lived in an era that no one will EVER see again, and I am so glad I had a chance to live it.
A happier life awaits away from the screen.
86 baby here and I can fully contest to this.
I had a father that told me "pull yourself up and move forward", "things will be ok, just keep focused on what you're doing right now".
There was no heart to heart. There was no what are you thinking about right now? It sucked and I didn't even know it, it was NORMAL.
As soon as I got into a real relationship, with someone who cared about me, my perspective QUICKLY changed.
I realized I couldn't lie anymore to make myself look good, or lie about things I'm doing and get away scot free. I had to face truths, deal with real hurt, talk about things.
If only people would talk to each other in person more...they would see how healing it is. Too much judgement going on, and not enough understanding. I think all of you .. or most of you, will agree.
-Much love from MN
Best video I have seen in years ! This man is passionate, smart and wise ! Thank you !
I totally agree with everything you said. Thank you so much!
I really needed this today. Thank you
I laughed so hard when he started talking about parents who tell their kids they are special and can have anything they want. I’ve always told my girls that they better work hard because the world won’t think they are as special as I do. The world is a hard, judgmental place. You don’t get anywhere in life without working hard and earning it. They get it. Not sure why parents think coddling their kids is what’s best for them.
Of boy did you say a mouthful!! I'm with you 100%!! I truly believe this world would be a much better place and children wouldn't be growing into stressed out, insecure, self medicating entitled adults if the truth was spoken to children right from the start....... the absolute truth and realism with regards to what expectations should really be for their future.
By making them aware that they're not special until they've achieved something which will make them special is the best thing a parent can do to their children . Props to you lady!!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT - LOVE NEVER PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE ONLY HARDWORK DOES - AND TO WORK MANY YEARS
Very well made video and some very important insight and messages. Thank you for this!
Your speech should be mixed with gold . Whenever i feel distressed i just wanna listen to this man
Thank you so very much for opening my eyes today. I've been asking myself for a while what was not okay/imbalanced in my life, without being able to pinpoint it. Going to make strong decisions + choices today. Thank you ❤
No truly thank you, and this Simon person. I already agreed with the video and it's a rather guilty pleasure to see the videos I am watching, like these, if it actually does help make an impact. I pray you have the courage to share these sentiments with your friends as well. People need to know especially now as many of our leaders have failed us.
You are spot on Simon!! Time to make these teens self-aware.
Thank you, deeply appreciated 😊👍
You nailed it Simon - parents are to blame for the ills in our society. Kids don't own or control anything, they just receive and indulge.
I love all the encouragement & motivation in the comments section 💛💛 I pray that everyone who watches this video has a blessed & productive week! Don't forget to breathe so you can bloom 🌱
Wish I would've seen this video a little while ago. I took the jump from one career into real estate and quit after two years in real estate. I've always felt I didn't put my best foot forward and was depressed about the effort I put forth. The challenge I have is wondering whether the career I fell back on is truly my passion in life, or if I just never put enough effort towards the real estate journey and convinced myself I wasn't cut out for it. After watching this video, I've deleted all social media. I felt it would be good for me personally and somehow, a girl I'm dating became defensive about it when I told her. It led me to believe that we truly are controlled by social media beyond what we tend to comprehend.
Finally I understand how it works!
THX SO MUCH!
Excellent analysis! Thank YOU so much for devoting your time TO MAKE US THINK on young generations and on ourselves! What are we doing with our lives? We are wasting our valuable time in front of the screens damaging our helth and loosing the Beauty of Nature or the company of our beloved ones!
His message to me is about using all technology in a "balanced" way; it is a tool that can be helpful when used correctly; it is about leadership in schools and business and ultimately, parenting that will need to join forces in order to support our youth to find success in their futures. He is challenging each of us to lead.
Use technology for your growth like watching this 14 minutes of video that will give you string thoughts than 14 shorts or reels that just make you laugh or curious like what the hell is going on.
In this era of social media and having an overload of
information at our fingertips , its hard not to constantly compare yourself to others . It´s hard to see all of the vacation pictures , the couple pictures and everyone seemingly perfect lives on display .
However, what we don't always realize is that we´re comparing our behind the scenes to someone else´s highlight reel . People only publish things they want you to see & we need to remember that .
`Comparison is the thief of joy !!´
Man. Spot on analysis. "We're comparing our behind the scenes to someones highlight real" Very Very true
like watching someones sniper montage.. how many takes you think he had to do to get that double headshot? xD
Thank you so much for this great video, I learn alot of things how to take care our children from social media. Hope to post another great video too.
Thansk alot for the video and inspiration! Warm regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
I'm not a millennial but I agree with this video. This generation cannot live without their phone with them.
The one missing element to this incredible explanation is that it entirely explains (most of) modern social movements.. it is the only sense of belonging most people have, and it is being used as a tool by companies and politicians.. and when a person realizes that down the line, as I did, it is soul destroying
Here is the ORIGINAL Semitic Text. HERE IS OUR SAVIOR
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Wow!!!!
Glad that people are getting more and more aware of good and bad about social media.
asking for help in the real world is the skill we are struggling for, yet it is essential for life
Ya I haven't used any social media for over a year now and I don't miss it at all. These people looking for constant validation online need to look inward and address their insecurities.
I have quit all social media during college. Now I am very successful engineer with salary that only 1% of people in my country have...
What kind of engineering do you do?
liar

Thank you❤️
From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰😍
Watching this on social media, along with tons of other great ideas and skills!
It's sad because then bullying comes into it if a kid does not have socials while their friends have stuff. Another topic which is tough. Amazing talks 💯
Yeah that's one of the reasons I allowed my kids to be on socials. But it's really not worth it tho
Thank you sir..you speak great truth..need you advice how to control this or what should we do to protect our world..👊
I was very late to the party. I avoided smartphones and TV because I was 100% convinced that it destroyed creativity. Then I entered a lonely phase if my life and started watching Netflix and then UA-cam. I went from starting a book, writing stories and poetry, making visual art, singing and learning instruments, doing yoga and being in nature, and studying various subjects, to an almost complete creative block lasting for years.
Needless to say...this kind of addiction is real.
Amazing... I can listen to it over and over ❤
This is beautiful and so true. Thanks for sharing.

So long as you keep trying again and again you will surely win on that one thing..
You can't succeed when you focus on too many things at a time

I haven't been on any social Media for almost 3 months. I can feel/ see the difference. Ironically I logged in/ sifted through a few snaps; I realized quickly that I'd not missed anything, it was more of the same.
