If you tell the truth, and conduct yourself honorably, even if things don't work out the way you hoped they would, whether it's a relationship, a friendship, a family member, or a job, at least you can walk away with your head held high, knowing you did the best you could, despite your faults.
amen
Truth telling tremendously increases self-esteem.
I can confirm
I always prided myself on being known as a "nice guy". I realize now that it meant sometimes I comprised telling the truth about my feelings in order to stay "nice". It cost my a lot of things including my health and happiness. Now I want to be the best version of myself by telling the truth and known as a "truth teller"
it's a balance. you can be "kind" but stick up for urself. if u disagree say so. with no apology. not combatively. it takes work. but you can do it.
If you tell the the truth, you don't have to remember anything. - Mark Twain
Great quote
very true if your entity ,yourself as a human being is a fact,you are to breathe,to eat etc then I don't find anything to lie.
you asked me something , i was honest.. now ur pissed

Facts. No need to memorize.

Just tell the truth! Always try hard to tell the truth! If you don’t know the truth. Just be honest and admit that you don’t know! 💜
I did this I completely stopped lying and now it really hurts when people lie to me I find it really insulting.
"We can only really be happy, truly happy when we live with total integrity with ourselves."
Those who deal in lies, rarely become much! The truth will set you free...that's alot.
Don't be afraid of speaking the truth. Learn to take a stand and don't waver in standing for what is right. No matter what everyone around you is doing or saying, stand firm on the truth. Do not be swayed by popular opinions; such mean nothing if they go against God's Word.
Yes Amen
The power of truth telling! I'm done people pleasing.
Same
I started telling the truth by commenting a lot on my idol's page :))) People were shocked by who I was, I mean they did deduce some insance thoughts about me. But gradually by telling my true face, I learn to accept my dark sides, my being vulnerable, then I connect to the right people who love me just the way I am. Then i become benevolent for my scars and also see how hurt people are so that they do not dare to tell the truth. I grow selflove and also love for the imperfection of life, and then I just become more confident with who I am, and right now, I am truthfully open to the world. Actually, this is crazy courage though, but it's worth my efforts in restrospect. We have to stay true to ourselves in the long run to be fully happy and satisfied
This deserves a million views at least.
Care for the approvals of others,
and you will always be their prisoner
~ Lao Tzu
The truth can set you free
Awesome talk :) I agree with every word, and strive to live this way everyday.
Thanks!
THANK YOU soooo much for the messages from the bottom of your heart, Christine! Bravo!
The only way that we can accomplish true happiness, is to be truly honest...and that will hurt us by nature.
But, yet, there are some of us that lead.
How will it hurt us by nature?
Great ted talk!! I really needed this - I just searched 'speaking the truth' in youtube and this came up!
She just lifted the weight of society expectations off her shoulder.
My favorite topic and talk given in my home town. Dr Amen s brain studies , scans point in the same direction.
Good talk. I would onlz object to the notion of "your truth" or "my truth". There is the Truth and then there are "my opinions or my perception" and "your perception",but it is not the same as truth.
Thank you so much Christine!
Really an amazing message to share with the world.
This speech changed my life! Just now!
Thank you !!!
Thank you! Love you !
One of the best Ted talk I have ever seen..
Yes it's so true..!!! You are awesome ...!!!
*Sometimes telling the truth will hurt you....*
But it will be good for you in long term I believe...
What are you implying here? Whistleblowing? I fully support whistleblowing!
no it won't . if ur revering to a job . u can end up in hr just for standing up for urself. but i can't work for someone i wouldn't respect anyway. ur mental health is worth more than anything
Oh yeah...that has been one of my biggest things...that lying is the most hurtful of things that you can possibly do to your neural networks.
TED X has become something more than it should have.
Let's let Nature take it's course.
Love your talk and your honest approach. And when it comes to high heals that are killing you. The brand Roccamore made for all women (and also some men actually!), are developed together with people who treats feet to make them comfortable to wear for many hours.
really wonderful. so inspiring.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
What an amazing talk!! So powerful!
Honorable, I like it. Great Message !!
Awesome talk. You should write a book about this - I'd buy it! :) in the meantime, any good book recommendations on this topic/philosophy? Thanks!
Finally something i really liked on youtube.
I'm so scared rn, because my class was talking bad about the other class and i sent a screenshot to a girl in the other class and she sent it in their chat group. And a few minutes after someone told the things of the screenshot and my class got mad, but they don't know i sent it. I'm scared to told them ;((
U should just say how you’re feeling
Truth always won
YES!
fewer sore throats!. could honesty flatten the curve?
Lovely lovely 😊 Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for this. Very eye-opening. The world is unfortunately not there yet... Integrity is still not seen a good thing I think...
In the west it's not. But if you notice ppl few love it. They really are starved for it. It's almost as if when someone is honest without apology that a window to heaven has opened up. They get a look of wow he or she has balls. Keep being honest. It's needed to break the conditioning In the west of being do fake, sensitive z manipulative ECT. Be the change .
@BEAR FACE Wat. Plz~ I am the unfortunate spawn of west and east. And I am very much familiar with both sides. Both lie and both are capable of integrity. Your statement lacks life experience and ignores the fact that I dont get shot for speakin out against my western government. Whereas my eastern country wouldnt wait a second to get rid of my body. Wake up and stop spreading such nonesense please. Good day
Good , enriching.
POV: you're in an English lesson and the teacher probably doesn't feel like teaching or is busy.
No truth= no power
Still a data analysis program. I could create it with the required resource.
Exactly why my exh left. He wanted me to change like he did and I refused to be someone or something that I am not.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing lecture, I thank you for a beautiful presentation. Just some food for thoughts, If you are open to add and varify your perception.
please read " Qura'n " translation with open heart. It will below your mind, I read this all and more in Quran, It teaches everything you said and more, Teachings and life of prophet Mohammed also have lifelong lessons and guide to live an ideal life.
Just to know Quran is true word of God without any changed and corruption and it is not only for muslims but for entire human race. It is another issue that muslims don't know its content in general.
God bless. and thank you again to have an opportunity to listen to you
I tell you the truth. One day I felt open to reading the Quran. I wanted to find common ground and a basis for peace between peoples of varying religions. I have two English translation Qurans in my personal library. I opened one to a random page and immediately my eyes fell on a particular verse. It was not a basis for common ground or peace. It explained why much of the world is in perpetual war and oppression. God bless you, too. You seem to mean well.
She's moved by the astonishing beauty of the world. She's already told me she's predeposed towards Christianity, and you don't see that without God. I think she went to heaven when she died.

POV u came from school cause I did and i have English class now

I hit another car yesterday and broke my headlight and I told my mom someone hit me in the Walmart parking lot. I didn't tell her the truth because I'm scared to lose my car but if she finds out I'm lying then she'll take it too. What do I do?
Truth is bitter in the beginning and sweet in the end. Lies are sweet in the beginning and bitter in the end.
@@anuj31416nice
Although there is a lot of "privilege" expressed in this talk, i do get the point.
It's almost as if we're all human.
You're a sad person.
how?
The shoes are understandable. The trip wires…just don’t rob a bank
you should watch jordan petersons talks on agreeableness if you like this
Why is it so hard to bee honest though. I know that this is the key to solving my issues but it seems painful.
do u live in the usa? ppl here have been conditioned to not be honest. to see it as being rude, mean. even when it 's not. as young kids. kids are honest. maybe some more so than others. and depending on the enviorment some maclicious in their manner but if it's just honesty without the comabtiveness that's good. but when u start to grow u are told to say good things. to put on a fake smile to agree when u don't. such honesty is seen as offensive. even social liars are actually "more popular" because they are being phony. but having a few ppl who really know u and love u is better than 100 fake friends who only like how u make them feel.
i lie about everything and i dont regret it ;)
ah but ur being honest ;)
@@banderas2000 who said I didnt regret it?
Go watch some Jordan Peterson videos on this. Totally agree.
I speak only the truth and I'm getting bullied and harassed for it LMAO. My stress levels make me want to jump off a bridge. People torture me and bother me because I am a pest in the community who chose truth over the lie and have always wanted to teach my children to speak the truth as well. Integrity is highly important but if you live in a place that is easily corruptible? Dunno bro.
Hey, I haven't seen the comment, But can Assure you that i make My Own edits and i would never steal Other people's work or even take credit out of it. My edits May look different, But it's according to The aesthetic i'm going with the Edit audio. I also have a partner With making these edits, My Cousin and i likes to make Edits and She was the one who taught me/helped me with it. I really hope you wouldn't take This the wrong way. I don't know how the heck that person thought it that way, But I want you to know that these edits Aren't stolen.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So you understand, but you still do it? I have no time for this.
I get angry when I'm sensitive and embarassed...it's awful.
I'm sorry we did that to you.
Well, well, if you stopped lying would you sleep better....Yes, is the short answer.
Great but way too loud
I really hate that term 'YOUR truth.' It just leaves too much scope for idiocy. THE truth is what you want
Not really, universal truth exists
Sir Raymond LuxuryYacht that you want it does not makes it true
The truth and nothing but the truth.
Whose Truth? Mine or Yours? What is True for a Trump supporter is NOT the same as what is True for a Biden supporter. I suggest their views of "reality" are both distortions of "truth". A result of assumptions and bias. It simply requires that you see a "common ground", however you define that.
VOMIT!
