IF You GET THIS, Your LIFE Will CHANGE! | Simon Sinek | Top 10 Rules

He chose for the money, and if something offered him more elsewhere, he accepted it. أنت تعلم؟ Nonetheless. And the surprising thing is that she stagnated, because if you only look for the result, if you only look for what makes it easy, right? Then eventually you'll get bored or they'll get bored of you, right? And you stagnate. In other words, chasing the almighty dollar, if that's all one does, eventually stabilizes. Whereas if you're chasing what excites you, the human beings that you meet, the work that excites you, the things that you know, you can become passionate about it, you know?

The irony is that you

will

actually earn much, much more! حق؟ Because you're excited and they appreciate

your

enthusiasm and reward it, and you're better at

your

job because you want to work harder and all that, you don't have to push yourself to work harder. So decision making is just a matter of filters, you know? And that is why I have made decisions in my

life

in which I would rather be happy than be right, I would rather do good than get rich, and that is why the decisions that I make put me in positions where when I leave any commitment, when I leave any meeting , I feel like I have contributed.

حق؟ There are rare occasions when you leave thinking about money, think about money, think about money, you know? Because that doesn't feel good. And from the experience I have, I don't enjoy traveling to them and I don't enjoy traveling home. Where I do have an incredible experience, I really want to get there and I'm excited when I leave! - نعم. - You know, so it's just a decision making, decision making is just a matter of what filters you use, and if you're good at keeping those filters up and clear, then make your decision. I don't judge anyone for how, if they choose to use different filters, these are just the filters I choose to live my

life

, you know?

Neither good nor bad, those are just my decisions. You know, that's my filter. How can you help the human race? How can we help the human race, the human species, progress? I'm not kidding either,

this

is something we all need to be aware of. After all, the human animal is a social animal. And our very survival depends on our ability to form communities, to form cultures. What is a community, what is a culture? It's a group of people with a common set of values ​​and beliefs, right? What is a country? It is a group of people with a common set of values ​​and beliefs.

What is a company? It should be a group of people with a common set of values ​​and beliefs. When we are surrounded by people who believe what we believe, something extraordinary happens. Confidence arises. And make no mistake: trust is a feeling and a distinctly human feeling. You know, we all have friends who are complete disasters and yet we still trust them, right? (يضحك الجمهور) Trust is not a checklist, simply doing everything you say you are going to do doesn't mean people

will

inherently trust you, it just means you are trustworthy. We need trust. حق؟ We need trust. When we are surrounded by people who believe what we believe and trust begins to emerge, when we trust them and they trust us, we are more willing to take risks, we are more willing to experiment, which requires failure, we are more willing to explore and go somewhere no one has gone before with the confidence that if we fail, if we stumble, if we turn away, those within our community, those we trust and who trust us.

He will take care of us while we are away, pick us up when we fall, help us when we are hurt. Our very survival depends on it. We are not good at everything, we are not good with ourselves. You know, if I send you to fight a saber-toothed tiger alone, chances are that tiger will be one and you will be zero. (يضحك الجمهور) It's not going to go very well. But if you go out in a group, we are incredibly awesome. And the reason is that we all have our own strengths and we all have certain weaknesses. And the goal is not to correct your weaknesses, the goal is to amplify your strengths and surround yourself with people who can do what you can't do.

But it's not just based on skills, application and experience, it's based on what you believe, it's based on what you believe. You see, just being good at something and someone else being good at what you're not good at doesn't mean you'll trust each other. Trust, the sense of trust, comes from the sense of common values ​​and beliefs. And I will prove it. How many of you are from New York? Well, many of you. Are you friends with everyone in New York? (يضحك الجمهور) لما لا؟ لما لا؟ But when you go to Los Angeles and you meet someone from New York, you're like, "Hey, I'm from New York!" And you are best friends. (يضحك الجمهور) حق؟ And when you go to France, you're on the Paris metro minding your own business, and you hear an American accent behind you, and you turn around and say, "Hey, where are you from?" They say: "Los Angeles." You say, "Hey, I'm from New York!" And you are best friends. (يضحك الجمهور) Because you are surrounded by people who don't believe in what you believe, when you are in a strange environment where you don't feel comfortable, you look for someone who may share some of the same values ​​and beliefs. that you have and you begin to form a very real and very intense bond with them, simply because you know that they have a basic understanding of how you grew up, of the things that matter to you, of the life you lived at home. .

Well, the same thing happens when we go to work. Do we want to work with people who understand us, who believe what we believe, who have a similar vision of the world that has nothing to do with their opinions and the differences we share? That's good, that's called diversity, that's What's called advantages of problem solving is that we can all look at the same thing from a different angle and find solutions. What I'm talking about is why should you help each other in the first place? What are you chasing? Now the question is: what creates that sense of values ​​and beliefs?

What creates that feeling of trust? حق؟ Our very human instinct, we know how to find people who believe what we believe, our survival depends on it. We are biologically endowed with

this

idea. If I ask you to go out on the street and find all the people who believe what you believe, you know exactly what to do. You're going to strike up conversations, you're going to start talking to people and you're going to have a good feeling about them or not. Either you'll have "chemistry," whatever that means, or you won't. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow, but we know how to do it.

It's called making friends, it's called dating, it's called networking. We have the innate ability to do so. True story. There was a former Undersecretary of Defense who was invited to give a speech at a large conference, attended by about a thousand people. And he was standing on stage with his cup of coffee, in a Styrofoam cup, giving his prepared remarks with his PowerPoint behind him. And he took a sip of his coffee, smiled, looked at the coffee, and then went off script. And he said, "You know, last year I spoke" at this exact same conference. "Last year I was still undersecretary. "And when I spoke here last year, "they flew me here in business class," and when I got to the airport "there was someone waiting to take me to my hotel." And they took me to my hotel, "and they had already checked me in," and they just took me to my room. "And the next morning I went downstairs "and there was someone waiting in the lobby to greet me, "and they took me to this very place. "They took me through the back entrance "and they took me to the green room" and they handed me a cup of coffee "in a beautiful ceramic mug." He says, "I'm not the undersecretary anymore." I flew here in economy class. "I took a taxi to my hotel and checked in. "When I went down to the lobby this morning, "I took another taxi to this place. "I walked in the front door and found my way behind the stage, "and when I got there someone asked, 'Do you have coffee?' "He pointed to the coffee machine in the corner, "and I poured myself a cup of coffee "in this Styrofoam cup." He says, "The lesson is that the ceramic cup was never 'for me, but for me.' the position he occupied. "I deserve a Styrofoam cup." They will give you a cup of tea and coffee without you asking.

They will call you "sir" and "ma'am" and give you things. None of those things are for you. that you hold, is destined for the level you have reached as a leader, or of success, or whatever you want to call it, but you will always deserve the Styrofoam cup, remember that lesson in humility and gratitude. all the free stuff, you can accept all the perks, you can absolutely enjoy them, but be grateful for them and remember they are not for you. I remember getting off the Acela, taking the Acela from New York. Washington DC, and I got off the train like everyone else, and I was walking down the platform like everyone else, and I passed General Norty Schwartz, who used to be the chief of staff of the United States Air Force, the chief of the Air Force.

And here I saw, you know, a guy, in a suit, dragging his own suitcase across the platform like me, and just a couple of months ago he was flying on private jets, and he had an entourage, and other people were giving him rides. his luggage. But he no longer held the position, so now he had to drag his own suitcase. And I never did, to further remind myself, that none of us deserve the benefits we receive, we all deserve a Styrofoam cup.
