What do you think on his 9 life lessons? Are any of them applied in the workplace? Can they be?

    "Empathy is intuitive but is something you can work on intellectually." I find myself quoting this all of the time now. So true.

    I'm 24 years old. My friends around me are getting big career promotion and planning a wedding, basically getting ahead with their lives at such remarkable incredible leaps and bounds. It's scary, depressing and sort of causing panic to me. But I've been calming myself in the midst of these events while also celebrating my friends' milestones and not projecting my 'unachieveness' on their happiness. Interestingly, all of the 9 life lessons mentioned are the values that I have been instilling in myself while I try to not panic because of self-induced peer pressure. I am at my own pace. I will be okay. Thank you for this video~

  • @tamarapetrov4990

    I have watched this so so many times. I dont disagree with a single word of it.... but my very favourite is No 6. Teach! My mother was a teacher. I always swore blind it was something I would never do. Although I have managed to avoid traditional school classroom settings, I have always somehow ended up in it. It's something I'm apparently very good at (maybe it's genetic?). Even if I think back to my own childhood, teachers would often assign me to help kids with learning problems, or non english speakers. I guess it was always there. Given the massive respect I have for my mother, I do totally agree teachers are incredibly important, but even more than that, it can be an amazing experience. Teaching a person something they struggle with can require a lot of patience.... but that moment something clicks in their mind and they suddenly get it.... the look they get in their eyes is so worth every little second.

    Amazing! I really needed to hear this. Someone expressing exactly how I feel and stand in live. Something I try to teach my beautiful daughters. I am not from the place I live. I am from a progressive country (the Netherlands) -which unfortunately with its right-wing government is turning backwards- and moved to a country with mostly old fashioned thinking. Its often bias and judgemental, although progression is raising its head, its comes at u huge cost of conflict with this ridged way of thinking. I wish people would be more like this man. The world would be a better place

    That thing about luck really stuck with me. I first watched this when I was at university a few years back and I didn’t really get what he meant. But it’s been in the back of my mind ever since andI now completely agree with him. Everything in life is just luck

      Yes, he is basically saying that everyone is a product of nature (their biology) and nurture (their environment, family situation, country of birth, social class etc etc). Tim is full of wise words.

      His point is that even though life has no set meaning, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. You make your own meaning in life every day, and that’s the beauty of it.
