The Millennial Question

Millennials: too many companies you will work for are not built to take care of you. Until that changes, please take care of each other.

Interview with Tom Bilyeu​ on Inside Quest​.

[jennyrichardson]

This talk just reinforces my realization that I had great parents. They were "strict" while I was growing up, they gave me rules and standards. They taught me to have a good work ethic, if I wanted somthing i had to earn it. They always told me and showed me that they loved me but they discouraged me to be prideful, instead be pleased with a job well done and people well loved.

[ahmedabdelaziz]

I just wanna say in my 33 years I never felt motivated more than this speech and I am willing to buy your books to read and learn more

[johnpaton]

Thanks so much for this video Simon. I've watched this at least a dozen times over the last few months. I've deleted social media off my phone. Without doubt my mental health, my relationship with my wife and my bond with my toddler have all grown.
Everyone should be made to watch this video.
Legend.

[adrianflaws]

Awesome speech Simon. I am a Millenial, I do struggle with all you said, and with the fact I understood all this as a teenager yet nobody ever listened around me.

[KennyMcAdam]

Mr Sinek, I have been introduced to you through a training group at a new job. After eagerly listening to and watching pretty much all the content you have on YouTube I cannot fathom how you remain so consistently positive with the knowledge you have. You have, without a doubt, changed my approach to human interaction, not only in my job but also in my own mind. You are a true inspiration and I want to thank you. Thank you.

[CaptainNoch]

People tend to forget that everything is subjective. What Sinek says can be applicable to some millennials but not all millennials. It is broad generalisation but the main points are being conveyed.

If none of what he said applies to you, kudos to you, you are an exceptional millennial!

I don't see why some people who claim that what he said is not entirely 'accurate' have to make a big fuss over his statements. It's almost a paradox or irony. Usually, the more we react, the higher the probability that we are rejecting the truth because it hurts us.

[alexguitarman]

I have seen this video countless of times. I always come back to it every so often. As I get older it seems to hit me harder and harder. I feel the emotion from Simon even more. It's heartbreaking.

[theresahaskins]

This is the MOST ACCURATE video I have watched in a very LONG time! Thank you for articulating the TRUTH of today!

[cassiomoraes]

That's one of the most blow mind explanation about my generation I've ever seen.

[MatiasGeraldoThend]

Beautiful beautiful much needed rant. Thank you. Now I know I’m not crazy.

[davecortright]

It's a great message, and if I may take it a step deeper, the biggest problem here is that we as a society aren't doing enough to show people how to manage their emotions and relationships. You say "please take care of each other" but we aren't showing them how to do it. We want to optimize everything, and we try to apply that to our emotions, so we minimize the "bad" ones and maximize the "good" ones rather than embracing them all and sharing them with others. On the most basic level, that's the path to connection. Feel ALL of your feelings and share them with your family and friends.

[JJbones]

But if I didn't check my FB when I decided to take a shit this morning I would have never found this video

Haha jk, been watching this guys content for the past 5 years, always good stuff

[JoJotinydancer]

All my wife's freinds said I was to hard on my son. The maintenance crew at the church keep asking when my son turned 16, finally she ask why they wanted to know.
They said because he works harder for free, then the kids we pay & we can not hire him until he is 16. My son was taught if he wanted a job, he must make good grades, do his chores & learn how to do whatever he want to do in a job. So while my wife talked to friends after cherch, he would help the maintenance crew in order to learn what he needed to get a job at the church. He ended up in the kitchen as a cook & cooks better than my wife or my self when he was 20 years old. He can cook Sea bass with the trimmings, now he works as a electrician, to pay his way though Electrical Engineering school. He is an egale scout, born in 1994, so he is 25.
Thanks for the video, I never knew that I was an okay Father until now.

[cybersk]

This has got to be my favorite video on the whole

[yordan_jelev]

This made me wanna cry at one point. Don't know if in a good or bad way.

[Davethreshold]

From this 64 year old Boomer, you are very good at what you do! I’m not one to knock an entire generation, but I think you are being very constructive. On my FB page, I have about 40 Millennial friends. 35 of them are world class, U.S.F.S.A. figure skaters, and they are anything but the people who you describe. They are insanely driven, and they pursue a very beautiful, but very TOUGH sport. I’m sure that you would be as proud to be, “friends” with them as I am. Further, in my dealings with Millennials, I am always treated with RESPECT, and they will always catch the door for me, and refer to me as, “sir” which may make me feel old, but is the proper thing for them to do.
Trust me when I say, that this generation is not dead yet! There is hope, and If I was in a position to deal with groups of them, the number one thing on my agenda would be to make sure that they all see this video. Well done sir! :-)
