- In his talk Arash shares about his personal journey and how losing everything can give the opportunity to win anything.
Arash Aazami founded the world's first energy interdependence company: BAS - Benefit to All Stakeholders, which quickly grew into a serious alternative to conventional energy companies and became one of The Netherlands fastest growing companies and whose business model, the Path to Zero, won two categories at 2014 MIT Climate CoLab Challenge. He recently resigned from the board of his company to dedicate his time to empower people and organisations to find and utilise their full potential.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Most people who visited this video want to know how one survives losing everything. That is a very important thing when you are in stress or depressed, and feeling suicidal. This video title was a let down - this most definitely was not the right title. Please change it. To others: I do not know how to say "Hang in there" - each one has their pain written in blood. But, you guys made me realize that no matter what I lose (money, fame, power) , I will always have my family - and that is valuable enough. Those who can somehow pull through - I fold my hands in salutation. Hang in there please! Our troubles have no right to win over us.
This should b the title of the video!
Yes, I totally agree about why people are searching for a video of how to start over... Losing hope, suicidal. You are fortunate to still have your family, I never would have imagined losing my family, ever, but even that happened.
Also it's not pronounced Nizher.
wow how inspiring. i'm near rock bottom myself at age 60; this inspires me to build a better model of myself!
It's honestly just easy to give up lie down and just rot into the earth
I wish you well 🙏
hows it going
Hi I'm afraid to ask 2 years later how are you doing now
@@s.c5714 my life has been an absolute downward disaster I'm so curious if this gentle made it also
I fell in a coma after a car accident in September 2005 while at university. I was never meant to survive. I wake up after 15 days to be diagnosed a quadriplegic. I started moving in half a month. I recovered well enough to return to university in Sept, 2006 for my doctor to tell me I could only return in Sept. 2011. I didn't listen,
I stayed and graduated in April 2011. The doctor never spoke t me again.
You can achieve anything you want to, just believe in yourself.
Respect Daryl bro
Much more inspiring that this talk!!! You should have talked my friend!!!
You did not lose EVERYTHING. You lost material things (except for your relationship), which can be replaced. You still have 2 lovely Children!
Losing hope was freedom
My wife left with my daughter
While my business when down
But I realized all the commitment was gone with them n I start all over n it was a success n I feel free from everything
I gained more from your few words than this talk by far!
Thank you. You gave me a bit of hope
When someone "loses everything", they don't typically get a lot of job offers, let alone job offers that they can afford to turn down over and over. They'd be on the street, starving.
I suppose, though, that "everything" is relative. To a person with cancer, I haven't "lost everything" if I lose my home, job, children, and relationship.
That being said, I don't think that most people can relate to this message at all. Most people simply can't identify with the idea that they'd ever be offered a position as the head of an energy company, especially when they've been struggling.
I'd bet that most people who watch this, can relate to the title of the vid, but they move on to the next vid right after he talks about that part. It's like watching a Senator talk about how he doesn't have enough vacation days.
neillattz thank you for your insightful and valuable reaction. You are absolutely right: "losing everything" is as relative as anything. My "everything" left me with food, a home and numerous other things that many others lack, and deserve nonetheless. Therefore it is absolutely incomparable to the amount of loss that millions of others suffer. In the context of this talk, however, I did not mean to emphasize how much I lost or suffered. That is irrelevant. What I meant to emphasize is the principle that crisis is a turning point. In every crisis there are equal amounts of danger and opportunity. What we do with any crisis is our choice. This applies on a personal level, but also for organizations, communities, companies, countries. Again: thank you for your reaction. I value your openness and insight very much, and it helps me understand more also.
+Arash Aazami You can see this video has close to 30 thousand views, only about 300 likes, and not even 30 comments. That actually is pretty much the rates for most CZcams videos. What I mean is, most people simply passively watch things, some participate a little, and very few will actually take the time to address points critically. They may be "haters", or they may be people with honest, valid criticism. I know that marketing techniques are a key factor to anything, and is widely, intensely used in media, and that a "catchy" title is very important in terms of CZcams videos and TED talks. So I already expect some issues "less intense" than the video's title. But personally I just don't like stuff that somewhat downplays others indirectly. There are many people who lose a lot, really a lot, they may lose (as in death) their whole family at once, lose all their money, their home. There's just too many people trapped in very difficult situations, and these types of titles are somewhat offensive (in my view) to these people, as if they are lazy or stupid (although there are also many lazy and stupid people, surely). I could rewrite this title in 5 different ways that would make it more honest and just as much effective. But, anyway, most people do not care, and those who have lost everything surely will not be here watching TED talks to be offended, since they lost everything, and likely don't even have a computer anymore...
I lost everything my kids relationship my money my home I was homeless sleep in cars bushes to someone sofa,s .. anticipate suicide over and over,, cry night day don't want food are anything.. I haven't seen my kids for two years now if all goes well I will reunited with them in a month I am a better person and father than I ever was I never had anything to do with illegal or criminal law s,, but the love of my kids wouldn't let me give up on them there mom met some guy on the internet take my kids jump country and gone 4 kids under the age of ten years old,, I don't know my father and build my life around growing up my kids .of course they didn't last a month together I fell apart lost everything.. but I had lots of skills and I bounce back with a mind set that up is were I have to be and my kids will be here as soon as I am ready I forgive my EX and I find a peaceful spiritual growth in me.. I feel like I am blessed to lose it all in the past
True. I just bounced off rock bottom after trying to start a business. I"m literally trying to avoid real homelessness and starvation. I'm over 40 now and I'm like a dinosaur in the workplace. I'll be in tent city in two weeks.
I lost everything I loved but my little jack Russell
He’s gold to me
l lost 'everything'. Then I got a bunch of job offers which I refused, and went on to become a boss of an energy company.
I stopped right there. :D
Thanks, what an inspirational talk. Especially for people who really have nothing - you really showed them the light.
Hi Anni, you are right, in hindsight I would have titled the story differently. It was never intended to be of help for people that are in dire straits. My straits were far less dire than many other people's. Key message would have been the importance of energy access for 2,9 billion people so that they can unlock their potential to contribute to their own lives, that of their families and the ultimately the world. An insight I would never have gathered without losing a little bit myself, but having said that, I always had food on my plate and had a little bit of a professional track record which enabled me to receive job offers. And yes, I got lucky with both an opportunity and a purpose. My apologies. I wish you the best in your life.
Arash Aazami hi no worries, good luck to you too xxx
thank you :)
Who gives him money for investment...and so many rules
@@arashaazami5904 I agree, you have not slot on everything, and have a suit,
I guess 'everything' is relative. Rejecting job offers? You have everything right there knocking. I lost my job, have send hundreds of resumes and I couldn't even get a single interview because companies think I am overage at 40.
What's your education?
40 is literally young
@@lil3raw Not in the workforce.
I feel so egoist to be here only because I could've seen my idols multiple times but failed because of multiple factors... You guys are just so courageous, ugh, I send you much love ❤
It's not our intentions or ideas that make a difference; it's our actions! Powerful message!
I once started from zero, for some reasons I don't know, the moment I felt I have nothing to lose I got more brave and I found my true intentions and goals. it was like a mental reset, a point in life when my path unfolded. Maybe because on zero states, we have the opportunity to take a break, get our heads from the routines, to sit back, and ask ourselves what our real passion in life is.
I enjoyed the video so much, thanks for sharing.
Shabo roozet khosh Arash va hamishe movafagh bashi.
Mary.C Thank you so much for enjoying the talk, and cherishing your turning points!
Mary.C you should do a Ted talk. Or At least a video on CZcams to help others who are in the same situation.
Mam can you share..how survive when you lose all I need some of your advice pls
What happens when your real passion gets killed and you can’t ever acces it again
@@KarthikKarthik-db9zc Every human being has this potential within themselves, just try to look for it within you.
I lost everything all at the same time, home,job, kids, money and myself.
Left with only a broken 💔 heart and no money.
The discard is the one thing, I am not getting over.
Sending healing friend
I really need to see and read posts such as yours. You speak genuinely. Its not always going to be alright. Some things some of us never get over. I to have lost eveything all within a year. No job. No family. No friends, to speak of. No money. No drivers license. I do have good health. Although I'm 53 and I can see the end of the tunnel. I still love life. I am just broken right now. Good luck to you my friend. And I hope you will persevere until the universe sends you something auspicious.
I genuinely hope everything gets gradually better for everyone on here.
I lost my mum in 2021 and she died in my arms. There will always be something missing in my life now. I haven't been the same and I hit a low point, which I am still recovering from.
Never give up and keep going no matter how hard it gets. That's what my mum would tell me ... she continues to live in my heart ...
The pain of loss is just so intense,may be some divine intervention to recover
I'm 42 and about to lose everything today.....I'm prepared for the worst
no offense to him but I'm about to lose everything apartment got fired have no family nor friends in debt just as I was about to open my business I feel like just ending my life especially since I'm about to go to court to be evicted even harder is being disabled and going through this but I'm going to push myself try harder rent a cheap room and start over
Whoa tuff stuff man...hope things have gotten better since then
don"t give up bro
It's been a year since you left this comment. I'm genuinely interested to see how you're doing now.
PrinceChris93 please update us on your situation, I am worried about you, even though I don’t know you. I sincerely hope that you’re doing well!
PrinceChris93 bless you
Helping others makes you feel good inside. It is good for your soul. It feels great especially helping others in your own home town. Living in richer countries your money goes a lot further in poorer countries and a you can have a large impact with a small amount of money.
If you're turning down jobs you are not in a bad place. END OF STORY.
Eagles Fan Since Super Bowl 52 i never turned down jobs. Jobs turned down me. I wasnt allowed to work hard. That feeling, having the will but not the means, makes a man feel violated on a level that few understand.
@@michaelmorse4444 I've got an idea for you, you can do freelance job or build website whenever you are free. No limit.

👏👏👏
I almost lost everything.I always have fear of losing and for that i holding things but now i lost everything i cant able to come over this .But still my inner guts telling that i will come over from this 😊
Losing everything is different when you have SOME resources.
fantastic! thanks!
i forget to count my blessings and take much for granted in the hustle and bustle of daily routine
Made me think! Cations makes the ideas! Yes!! And the idea should come from the little ones who will one day have the creativity to make life easier.
I loved your talk Arash.
Tricia
im glad i found this today
i see how humble he is!!
This video is very inspiring and we can learn humility from this great man...and his voice is awesome!
Was not expecting a talk titled this to be about sustainability / energy issues....
Great work!!!
I like it always thing positively !!
He never explains how someone who lost everything became the recipient of numerous job offers he did not encourage. Did they just fall from the sky? I also find his whole resume strange,: NIger, Netherlands, guitar, consulting business, lost everything, energy company manager, awards from MIT. Something is fishy here or he is just a terrible story teller.
All of your comments are more helpful to me and as entertaining as the talk!
I lost anything so I could win anything............quite the inspirational line but it still doesn't help you if you are on the streets barely getting by day to day.
Exactly
Absolutely amazing Arash :) what a great Human Being you are !!!.. you will be noble prize winner soon INSHALLAH
Whatever your going through give it to God through His son Yeshua (Jesus Christ). Miracles do happen and God will never forsake you. I have been unemployed several times but God always made a way. Save while you do have a job for a rainy day and use wisdom. GOD BLESS
I lost my career, then I lost my house and started living in my car. Someone broke my car windows and stole most of my belongings while I was away from it. Then it was towed because of the damage. I had just been hit in an accident so I couldn't pay to get it out of the impound and now I'm on the streets. Went from money, a nice house and nice car to just the clothes on my back. Needed this message to get back what I once had and not allow this to break me. Sleeping on the sidewalk is no joke.
Wow you are a amazing person.I aspire to gain some of your traits as I grow older.Thank you for the presentation.
+Emil Goubasarian Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope to gain some high-energy traits of new generations instead. ;-)
A very noble ambition to be commended.
Just not a lot of advice on how to gain a future after losing what you had. Or maintaining a life between those times you might say No until you find something you actually want to say Yes to.
❤️
I just want to say that the title of this video is simply stupid: losing everything is not the perfect thing: it's exhausting, and some people give up/die....
A lot of people like to overemphasize their losses or their beginnings, to make it look like they're real strugglers, and came a long way. When actually they were already in a good situation, and had a few set backs, and basically went back to their natural level (socially/economically). This guy was obviously rich, chances are his father was already working in the oil industry. I say that because his last name is persian (and the middle east has nothing good but oil...) and the fact he lived in Niger when he was a kid. Turns out that petroleum was found in Niger in the 70's, and exploration began in those days with Texaco and Esso and Elf setting offices there in the 70's and 80's... That would explain why a woman (his mother) left the Netherlands with two small kids to live in a God forsaken land like Niger. I haven't found much info on this guy, but it says somewhere he founded his first energy company at 21... that's not really a "normal" type of company for a 21 year old to found. That's also far from his "early beginnings as a musician" as he makes it seem like in this speech. Also, it's not like he was jobless, wandering through bars. He was already in the industry, and knew a lot of people in the industry (assuming his father was in the industry, and that he really found an energy company at 21, as it seems). But, I mean, this is TEDx talks... so it's expected that people embelish things to make it more appealing to world wide audiences, and although this guy does have an unique life, this storyline of "poor kid from Niger who became a musician and then transformed himself into a magnate CEO of energy companies" is totally not the reality.
+CzechRiot Great reply and thorough analysis, but wrong (you couldn't have known). Just a little background info to clarify things: my father left Iran for Dubai in the early seventies because of him being a Baha'i, a strongly oppressed religious minority, and came to The Netherlands in 1975 and I was born in '77. He worked as a medical analyst for a Dutch NGO in Niger fighting malaria between 1980 and '88. We were never materially rich, but I do consider us to be very rich nonetheless, albeit in the immaterial sense. Our family has never had anything to do with the oil industry. The statement that I founded an energy company at 21 is incorrect. At 22 I started my first business: a webdesign agency in Rotterdam. I founded my energy company BAS in 2010, at 32 years old, and left it in 2015.
Lastly: I do not agree with the title of this talk, it was not my choice. I would have liked to change it for "how a musician ended up trying to change the energy industry" or something along these lines.
In any case: thanks a lot for your extensive replies and I wish for you to do exactly what you would do if all the work in the world were voluntary.
Arash Aazami Good that you replied with the real world facts. I like to sort of "create stories" for people based on the little evidence I have available, but it's more of an exercise in hypothetical thinking, and often I try to check later on how right or wrong I was (when I do that in the real world, with people I just met for example). It's also a way to refine my judgment, test my own heuristics. In this case, my second guess would be that your parents were diplomats, and third guess that it was some humanistic health related work. But I treat everything as probabilities. There will always be the times when we're dealing the 1% case events. But there is a website with that false information about you starting an energy company at 21.
+CzechRiot thanks for your reply. Your third guess was right after all. ;-) Thanks also for the heads up on the website stating false information, do you have a link?
Especially me now I’m pregnant too alone homeless lost job no friends no family
Just been through abuse all my life and suffering
I’m numb I don’t know the rest of the people are so calm and so loved and have money and me nothing
I have no
An Inspiring Presentation 👏👏
Am a Ghananian and stated business last year .
I went into bottle water distribution
From 2020 till 2021 December I lost my money and the business because of poor business strategy
Am just down and rethinking about how I will get money to start another business.
I lost a lot of money
I went for loans to support the business but to no avail I still owe people .
It has even affected my relationship
If he can turn down job opportunities he truly didnt lose everything....plus he said he was in a small room...which was probably a motel...he probably still had his car, and some money since he didnt have urgency to work....
Now me ending up homeless for a few years after doing months and months in jail i truly did lose everything, job family home vehicle license my freedom ... Now that's losing everything but at least I had my health
wait how did he finance his energy company?
Arash Aazami! Many thanks for your thought-provoking talk! Sometimes even when life seems good enough in others' eyes, you need a reset since deep inside you are not relishing what is going on! Here again as long as you don't take any action for a reset, you are a loser!
Great idea! I totally agree with you.We are all connected so nobody should be allowed to monopolize resources that are meant for all, and by all I don't mean just human beings, I mean all the creatures of our planet including the vegetation and whatever we consider "inanimate" .
The best story ever
I'm from Brazil and 81.7% of our electric energy come from renewable sources. We are an example to the world.
Ok but like can we just appreciate Leapnotch for making us smile everyday
very inspiring story am at zero right now somehow I know God will give me the answers I need to turn my life around
I have lost everything. My hard earn money for my school fees have been defrauded by frudsters.i need assistance pls just to pay for my school fees. M just a poor ophan from nigeria. Thank you
Thank you. You are actually helping me right now as i am 53 yrs old and walking the streets with no home, nobody that loves and cares for me. But when I stop at a place that has wifi because my phones bill is unpaid, i look for inspiration on CZcams and I found this segment. What sticks out most for me is the replies such as yours. Thank you.
I lost everything but not material things,I lost everything that meant something to me,friends,relationships,people I could talk to,myself,happiness and hope.I feel so empty and I have no idea what is wrong with me because everything seems the same and at the time nothing seems usual anymore,I am so lonely and empty,I lost myself,my humor,my personality and all is left is this annoying whiny person who can no longer talk to anyone because she has no idea who she is anymore...I am so desperate...I don't get it I have everything to be happy and at the same time nothing to be happy for?
I resonate with what you said. Word by word. Can we have a chat over discord?
i lost my wife of 2 years, my two ( step daughters,my house my life, im in a little room that is a wharehouse, i have no job... all i have is God..!
pls help
Im right there with you man
Stop complaining, snowflake !
Your an inspiration, for us broke folks, who messed up our lives.
Great...👍👍👍🤍👏👏👏
I just lost my only means of transportation. Being grown with no transportation is a wake up call.
I've lost everything...
even your access to youtube comments?
I did to
Tell me more...
No you didn't, because u still have phone or laptop and watching this video and you are able to comment. You still have hands to write, ears to listen, eyes to watch and mind to understand things. U have everything bro. U should to be grateful on all the things you have.
Me too 😢😢
I love you honey❣ I only 50sec watched and begin the writing🙌 merhaba/hi from Turkey🤠
Misleading title.
The details. The only reason I am adding a comment is because. I have a phone for interviews. I'm living in my car.
Wife left me because I lost my job. False allegations limit my ability to get employed.
I made 250k a year for 15 years. After losing my job. I found her with another man. Can't see my children.
Energy is not an option for me.
It sounds like you are boasting. I'm not exclusive. Amend the title. People are really suffering.
If I am blessed- I will not boast. I will inspire.
Their is a difference.
***** Thank you Doll. you are the first person to tell me something positive in months. Thank you. - I cant tell you how much the words you simply typed made me tear up and fell so much better. Its been a long time since someone believed in me and has given me hope. -Thank you so much.
oh its so sad , i also lost my job 6 days ago and left in a strange country. i hope everything is better for you since the time you left comment.
I'm in a similar situation Landon, I know how you feel
I’m so sorry this happened to you. Nobody should have to experience what you shared with us. You’re loved always, no matter what.
Landon Landeros how did you make yourself stand after you lost your job and after what happened to you because i am also going through exactly the similar kind of problem and i want to know what should i do right now
I feel like I have lost everything, even though I graduated recently with professional degree with no job I’m in my late 20s, and family pressures to get married, no idea if I should take up a job or go for some other career path. Just sitting at home idle makes me feel worthless and worried. I’m living off of my dad’s money. Parents are becoming old and I’m sure they are worried that I haven’t taken up any responsibility of the family or earnings, I really don’t understand should I have trust in god or universe, or blame my lazyness or for being unlucky, I realllly am lost in life. I just wish some miracle happens in my life and good things start to happen to me or atleast my parents !! I feel like I’m in dumpster 🥺oh god, I’m crying while writing this down. Please universe have mercy up on me and put my life on track. I beg you
I have no plans at all only God's plans He made sure of this recently. Whenever I planned something then something else would happen to change my plans and my plans did not happen too often. I planned to keep this position I had for a couple of years. God had different plans for me to get to a point where I could no longer stay at this position it was quit or eventually be let go either why the position would be gone. After I left the position on my own many were let go and eventually fired as well. If I would have waited I would have been in a bad situation looking for something quick which would bring stress.
God will force all to depend on Him because He supplies our needs through Christ Jesus. Now I am happy even though I have no idea what God is doing I know He is doing great things. All my needs are taken care of, I do not lack anything unlike before, and I am excited now about getting up to see what He is going to do each day.
God has to push us to receive better so we do not settle for less living comfortable with the same daily task doing the same thing. It is different now God has forced everyone to put total trust in Him. You may start off wanting certain plans in the day but somehow you end up doing something totally different. Whatever plans anyone makes God will make better.
Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 19:21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel-that will
Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
You didn't lose everything.
This guy says he hit rock bottom - uh, that is not rock bottom! He had a fantastic education and background. Some of the comments here are a hundred times more inspiring than this guy! Not really that impressive folks…
Intentions are essential. With intentions there is desire. When there is true desire, action takes place.
I losted my everything like relations I don't know what I am doing now
just hit rock bottom at 26. My company that I spent the last 3 years building has collapsed. I can't find the strenght to mantain college or my part time job. That was my plan, to succeed in business and then leave the rest. But now I don't really have a choice. I'm extremely sad, i've only felt this sad when my grandma died, in 2020. Guess it's another part of me that died today. I just put so much effort into that.
Keep going man, eventually things will pay off, stay strong , life will bless you brother
I'm almost 28 and today is the first day i closed my business I'm back to zero actually I'm negative two family members handed me some money i have to pay back but i have non . I believe thing will get better soon, if u ask me how i would say idk it just willi believe that
I wish I was getting job opportunities that I could turn down
Usually people at rock bottom dont have the privilege to be able to turn down loads of job offers.
I had 2 cars a bike and a home I lost my job and lost it all following it; I’ve gotten calls from plenty of jobs with some great job offers. Sad thing is I’ve been turning the jobs down bc I can’t even get to work reliably
I'm worried that's where I'm headed. I've been homeless before and don't want to have to go through that again.
@@twintwo278 I hope not and good luck. It’s been 2 months and I am still homeless. I went from having a lot to nothing. But I have got another car and a job in these 2 months and I’ll have a home in a few months.
Just keep it out your mind and do your best at staying positive through whatever. I hope you don’t end up homeless again.
@@shesoverit2302thanks man. It’s been a year and I’ve gotten my stuff together. New car, home and I’m doing good. I hope you are too
2 days ago I was made redundant. I have been earning good money but now it’s gone.
I have a son to provide for and mortgage I can’t pay,
Car is a company car which goes back and even phone was not mine.
I have no qualifications and I’d say I’m ready to just end it.
Skipped a big part where he went from having lost everything to RUNNING an energy company.
maybe he sold his soul to get that
This is not lost any its gain from nothing !
How did you move from Algeria? You got help?
If I worked for this energy company and found out the new headman was a charity case, I would lose my mind. This message is directed towards the privileged. What for the less intelligent? What for the disabled? How does this man with an education in electric guitar receive such a powerful stance in life? I’m not upset with what or how he’s achieved, I’m upset with how discouraging this message is.
I started with a small capital and when I involved people in my business I lost everything 😢😢😢😢 and am scared of starting over because am still hurting
Hi @catherinemulenga2234 I don’t know where you are in your recovery, or if you’ll ever see this. But I really hope that this reply reaches you. As someone who is only now starting to come out of months of debilitating depression from having lost everything in my professional life, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that once you’ve made up your mind to fight the negative forces that are fighting to take you down, then it’s not over for you. Not by a long shot.
That business that you started, and the time that you spent building and operating said business, no doubt gave you loads of experience at many different levels. You started out with a knowledge of how to work independently in your particular field. That knowledge allowed you start and manage your own business. Then, the debacle with the people who later became involved in the business, no doubt gave you immeasurable experience regarding operations from a partnership or group standpoint. You have loads of experience in both, what to do and what not to do next time. Hindsight is indeed a blessing.
Altogether, your past wins + your recent losses = a golden opportunity. You are now in a position to create a new niche. That business that you ran was run from only one particular angle. But now, using all of your experience gained both before and during this loss, perhaps you can establish a new way of operating in the same field, which has not (or barely) been explored by any of the competitors in your area. It’s a start that may take you further than you can ever imagine right now.
Believe this stranger from the internet when I say, in a few short years, you will be laid back in a recliner chair laughing about this experience, as you enjoy your favorite drink.
Please please please, just don’t give up! ❤
love hearing all these start over stories , its like i was a doctor with a jet, and I lost it all so i sold the jet and bought an IT company. it was my rock bottom
Yeah.. is this really "rock bottom" lol
Everyone’s definition of rock bottom differs
So very true - some of the comments are much more inspiring than this guy. Loved your comment. It’s like seeing these 20 year old models say look what great shape I’m in. I’m not impressed!!!

The title of this talk is not relevant to the content . It was more about the energy and story of his success rather than how he recovered from the crisis .
The title is totally different from the content.

ok - with the exception of the odd fans of this trippy video... I have found my brothers and sisters. Those who have truly lost everything. Ok that is me also... so now what. We are lucky enoough to have internet.... but who wants to start a "we have lost everything and we are now starting over" society??
Sounds good if you have some serious backup money.
I literally almost lose everything, a job in a foreign country, my money that I earned during working here was gone too because of some unfortunate events. I even can't buy a ticket home with my remaining money 😭 hang on with my last money for meals until the next salary and must continue for my hated job for another years
@@shesoverit2302 no, everything is not well until now, but I want to heal and hopefully Buddha will help me to heal. Thanks for your reply. I don't know who u are and your religion etc, but Kindly pray and hope the best for me
Sorry if i sound cheesy, but really need support
When I was 30 I was almost set for life. Trusting my family made me lose everything. I thought being " spiritual " was the answer. I never thought a dollar would become worthless. Now in my mid 60's I'm lucky I'm not homeless. I don't know what to do. Trust God? Yeah hold your breath. Getting old is depressing. America is only going to get worse. ???
why do you say everything. did you lose your children or your health. you are still blessed with many things.
Shaun has given birth to Timmy, now I have two sheep
I've lost EVERYTHING, but I gained the ppl back THAT ALWAYS WANTED ME TO FAIL, NOT OUT OF EVILNESS , BUT TO FULLFILL A PROPHECY OF FOLLOWING THE DIVINE CREATOR 😂
I lost my kid, I lost my job and I lost my apartment. There's nothing left of me...
I’m wishing you well 🙏🙏
I lost the love of my life in a car crash in front of me. I pushed myself to rock bottom depressed and got drunk almost to the point as an alcoholic.. I did however got up and fail continuously for years.. Its not easy.. Not easy it's the hardest thing u may ever have to endure... You may be on ur knees or even lying down bt u can always rise up my brother.. I'm still going so can you!! We have to have enough faith to believe whats in front of us is greater what is behind us.
Is this true?.....I don't think when u loose everything u still have the energy to turn opportunities down.....it only means I've never lost anything
He did not loose his sanity and self respect & hope. Those things are usually learned in wealthy families because those qualities bring wealth, but you can learn it later too.
looks like the dude from arrested development
Life😔
This guy doesn’t know what losing everything is. Scammer
The underlying feeling and experience, although two different situations, can be the same. But true that he had enough opportunities which might not be given when living on the street.
with this mentality you will never gain anything , bitter
Faisal Alkhedhrawi his endurance to lose is really low. I can tell you a real story of mine but I won’t do it for free. Same goes for you, low endurance
Looks like the title is misleading. I've nothing against the incredible things this guy has to say but cmmon, we all came here for that 'bounce back after rock bottom' kind of stuff.
You're lucky you didn't lose everything when you were already in your late fifties having spent the last 30 years building up personal wealth and financial "security ".
I lost my husband and then my mother. Now my brother is dying. My son has lost his mind and has made terrible life altering decisions. I have not seen him in a long time. I worry for his very life.
Anita Barneycastle Your son probably didnt lost his mind, you have to accept that he is who he is, he doesn want the same things as you and dont see the world the same way. I identify my self with your son.
How much I wanted that my parents accepted my as I am, is the only thing I nedeed from them. Probably your son just want the same thing. Or probably not, but remember that love is also about acceptance, not high expectations
Hugo Antunes my son is a drug addict and is currently in jail...again. I don't accept this behavior. And neither do the authorities.
Anita Barneycastle I hear you
Anita Barneycastle I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m also going through immense loss. My heart goes out to you. I hope you are finding some way to cope with it all...I know I’m trying to - peace 💗

PUT YOURSELF FIRST….YOU CAN NOT HELP ANYONE WHEN YOU ARE NOT 99.9% GOOD.👍
AND when your are not GOOD Helping OTHERS just Make you MORE UNWELL ‼️
And that means you can not help YOURSELF or ANYONE ….
1) places to stay
2) income…. Later income from Something you enjoy doing 😊
3) join a Club …. Dance or sports or Cycling or art…BUT mix and Speak with Other PEOPLE men and women.
3) good Food & exercise ( no Smoking vapping exes drinking alcohol ( alcohol 1 one ☝️ night per week and don’t get DRUNK.
That is the Start, when you do this your Brain 🧠 Starts to work, and WORK MUCH BETTER….i know I’ve did this 3 times in my Life 👍
GOT FOR IT 🏴😎
Today i lost my job because of my horrible boss.
I love you :')
I love you too man :')
I can only say the same as Emil Goubasarian said. I'm in the same boat at you have once been in. I've lost both my home, and my income. Ontop of it I've had a rough childhood where I've had to mostly be my own parent. But I know it will be okay. I want to dedicate my life towards helping others, and bettering our enviroment, and our planet. Hopefully I can do just that through launching a business when I feel ready. Watching your talk gave me goosebumps, because what you spoke about is something that deeply resonates with me as well. You are a huge inspiration, because you have already done much of what I plan to do in the future. Watching your talk also reminds me that I'm not alone in having these grand visions. Thank you again, you truly are awesome.
Dear Robin,
Your explanation of your first comment really touches me. Thank you. You obviously know the saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I do not agree to that completely. What does not kill you CAN make you stronger, depending on how you choose to deal with it. You seem to choose to deal with your hardships in a very powerful way. I am convinced you will get there, and contribute greatly to the advancement of yourself, your loved ones, and society as a whole.
Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá'i faith gave me this beautifully profound insight:
"Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity".
We have another version of this saying: "What does not kill you, cripples you" :))
are u talking about me.... Thanks for not making me feel bad
I'm at rock bottom and I really don't care it's not an opportunity . nightmare regardless.
