you are so real for this im so sick of people being like oh you are so lucky you get these jobs, babe I’m going to 100 interviews and getting 1 job, you’re going to 5 and then complaining you didn’t get any. we are not the same. effort directly correlates with reward and you’re so right, a large majority of gen z does not understand this.

[@sizofren8710]

as an idea effort does corelate to reward but maratocracy isnt real, its about being in the right place in the right moment, there are certain things that are (unfortunatly) out of our hand that put back certain groups of people, its not that gen z is lazy, they know the value of their labor and the fact that in our capitalist system their replaceable because of said put backs, like theyre not gonna go above and beyond because theyre not paid to do so, nor will they ever will be

[@skyward7903]

​@@sizofren8710 This. Companies just want to exploit you to hell. The more you give them, the more they think they have a go-pass to make you work 100x more than they pay you. We need to be more clearcut, and ofc work hard but not above and beyond that we're paid to. We're NOT slaves, you're not doing some holy miracle that saves us or something goddamit. Let us do the work that we signed up for and are paid accordingly (and fairly) for.

[@WildVee]

Let's be real here, though. It's sad we have to apply to hundreds of positions and go through hundreds of interviews, most often than not most are not even something of your studies, academic background, interest or skill level (whether higher or lower) or even connections you've got with people. It *genuinely does* suck. And no, most people are not "lazy" girl bffr. Everybody wants a nice job and many, *many* people put in the same exact effort you did. There are so many variables at count here, blaming people like that is just ridiculous.

Woah this video is so real, i had an experience this summer that woke me up and made me realize how harsh, brutal and competitive the world is.

[@Timi1111]

As much as I agree with this, another way of getting ahead of the competition is authenticity and finding your area of interest and passion. I know they say we should do jobs for money but the reason why you can't put in enough effort to land you in the top 20% is because you don't love what you are doing and you are not passionate about it. When you are passionate about a field of work, it's no longer hardwork and this is what differentiated earlier generations from us. They did the research, the intellectual work, the business for the love of it. Nobody can become a master especially with the arduous work involved or necessary effort without first loving that field. Find what you really love, what you naturally have insights at and throw yourself at it. Give it your all. The money and fame will follow. Even the work that might be seemingly hard to others will seem easier to you.

[@Timi1111]

Life should not just be lived without passion for things bigger than us. The essence of life is beyond money and pleasure.

[@aarushidwivedi9716]

You opened my eyes ma'am. There's no point in sobbing before others giving excuses. That's not going to get us anywhere.

[@user-hz2bh4yp8j]

Not everyone sees other people as their competitors. Having this mindset will exhaust you in the long run. My professor in Marketing class always tells us to be collaborative, not competitive. Competitiveness just shows the sign of individualism, and it doesn't always work in this world. The goal is to make the world a better place to live, and people should help each other to solve the problem together; it's a win-win situation.

[@adrianekong3569]

I've never watched your videos and this popped up on my feed for the first time and I was curious and I do agree with most of what you said in your video. ESPECIALLY for running your own business you have every right to not give someone the time of day if they can't even do the bare minimum of writing a proper email. BUT i do want to point out something you said about like entitlement and the young generation not wanting/ willing to work hard. while i do think its entitlement to some degree, I don't think its coming from a bad place. By that I mean that the entitlement is coming from the belief that "the world and people are better than it is". like yes corporate doesn't care about your individual issues when they are hiring you, And YES they dont care about YOUR stress level they care about you doing the job they hired you to do, BUT they should. In terms of humanizing the work culture, and building a better work culture/ world, I think the younger generations is idealistic and hopeful of shifting it, and in congruence with that idea they dont realize how harsh reality is. I'm not saying people should apply with shitty emails and have curse words in their application?? bizarre. BUT while i am trying to also navigate the harsh corporate work culture by understanding I need to go beyond, I also understand the other side. why does it have to be this toxic un-humanistic world? like why should you go above and beyond and give your best years to a corporate machine that doesn't value you as a human being and will replace you like a cog in a machine the minute you cannot fulfill your purpose? why do I have to guess what needs to be done to get this job instead of following the explicit instructions given? Ik i sound like such an idealistic child but I know why. But also like why? Cause we choose to make the world like this, there is nothing wrong with trying to improve and change it.

Yaaasss PREACH GIRL!!!! I'm seriously so happy someone sensible online made a video on the extreme entitlement people have nowadays, especially youngsters, and how this entitlement is literally just hurting them at the end of the day. It's so true that when you go above and beyond, you DO get the job even if you're competing with people more qualified than you. That happened with me too. Amazing video simone, seriously loved it

[@cutiepatuter]

For those who get hurt easily when they hear someone's harsh tone or harsh words, please know that this video isn't that. On the surface it might seem that her real talk is offensive or tries to belittle what experiences you have, but really, the bottom line of it all is humility. Be humble about your abilities, what you've accomplished so far, what you're doing, and how you'll get there. It's important to be humble and to acknowledge when you've made mistakes. Be humble and accept whatever constructive criticism is thrown your way because it only aims to benefit you. Her message is clear: in order to do well, you have to go above and beyond. If you can admit whether or not you actually are, then that can benefit you. And more so, if you can admit why it's hard for you, then addressing that problem should be your main objective first. But still, be humble and know that as much as you want to do good with your life, only the things that you put into the world will create an effect, and so making your good intentions come to life will be the most important step to do that. I hope everyone learns the same thing too... well at least that's what i got from it.

[@maggiemagdalene111]

I also think working that hard gives you more confidence and lets you believe that you’re at least going to get one position in a career (if you apply to many places). I remember being soo scared of asking my teacher for a recommendation letter because I didn’t know if she liked me enough or if I stood out to her. I got the recommendation letter, but if I made an effort to make sure that we had a good relationship and that I stood out above other students, then I wouldn’t have had to worry about a rejection.

[@mafaldal.5183]

Look, THIS VIDEO🛐🛐🛐🛐!!!!!!!!!!! Nowadays, social media tells us that it is ok to do less and not work hard and it's been a while since I saw someone tell me otherwise.

[@aparna12242]

Sure but let's not forget that capitalism does not always reward hard work. It runs by exploiting the vast majority of its workforce. If someone is going through mental health challenges and the company can't understand, I'm sorry but that just means you're working for a toxic person/company. You might think breaking up might be a silly excuse but how would you really know how much it is affecting the other person? What if they had a mental breakdown or fell into a severe depression that could even cost their life? You do realise that work-related suic*des are still on a rise. Going "above and beyond" has literally killed people. To people who are reading this, NOTHING is more important than your HEALTH/MENTAL HEALTH. If a job starts disrupting your ability to function, then it's because most of these are toxic and aren't accommodating those who are neurodivergent or face other mental health issues.

As a medical student, your comment speaks to me because the field of medicine unfortunately has the highest rate of suicides. I definitely agree with you on nothing is more important than your health😊 I’ve been reminded of that many times and believe it should be universally recognized so thank you for sharing that! I also however do not think Simone is encouraging people to go above and beyond when their mental health is at risk. Competent adults should have the capacity to realize when their physical or mental health is being pushed to its limits and thus we, as adults, can then proceed to make our own decisions about how to handle that matter (i.e. leaving a job/career because of its toxic and demanding environment, seeking professional help, etc.) We have every right to terminate something (or someone👀) when they pose a threat to our overall health. Simone here, however, is reminding us that when there exists something we so passionately desire, there should be nothing stopping us from going above and beyond to reach that and we are the only ones to recognize our own limits. I committed to this field knowing that the medical profession kills people. But my ultimate desire to become a doctor outweighed the risks and I will continue to go above and beyond to become the professional I have always aspired to be while being competent enough to know when to go easier on myself🤍

[@thatgirl6535]

I think this really highlights how bullshit the whole 'main character' trope is nowadays. Like, there's people going around preaching that they're the main character when the only main character quality they have is being entitled because 'the universe works in my favour.' The universe will work in your favour only if YOU work for yourself. Yes, you can be the main character of your life, but you have to show up as them too. There's a difference between being kind to yourself by honouring your needs and making excuses for yourself because you don't want to work.

Yes I really like this kind of video where it brutality tells you the reality , the fact that many people with their excuses are just making themselves a victim instead of trying to find a way to fix it . ❤

Simone, I truly appreciate and like your videos, but I feel that the title is quite misleading. Honestly, this video was 90% about you telling us how people who "go above and beyond" and work hard catch your eye..The rest 10% was one meaningful message: work hard. (Don't you think there are several people in that 80% that work hard but still don't see expected results?) As soon as I read that title and clicked on the video, these questions came to focus -What is it that truly separates the 20% from the 80%? - I feel overwhelmed looking at how far ahead my competition already is..How do I overcome that regret and guilt that fills me because of my past decisions? - What are some Habits or affirmations that will put me on a path to beat the competion and acctually get ahead of people? Sadly none of these questions were answered.

same.. i got really annoyed not because of what she said but the title and the content were not matching

You speak so well Simone! You inspire us. Thanks a lot for your advice!

a perfect example of what a person who has fallen into capitalism looks like

[@babynblue]

do u think it's bad?

[@Nosteponsneksss]

The person who puts the most effort in is most likely to win, how is that unfair? That’s not even due to capitalism, that is a law built into nature.

[@Sizhui-mg6hc]

@@Nosteponsneksss did I ever complain that it was unfair? Don't put words into my mouth just to fit your perspective. Improve your reading comprehension. You just sound dumb assuming things.

She travelled to Europe months ago and is back from Thailand and Indonesia... I don't think you want to use her as an example to why Capitalism is bad 😭😭

that was brutal. no sugarcoating just straight to the point. she rally put things into a bigger prespective. the world unfortunately dosen't revolve around us. our existance in comparison to the entire world is so little. our worth will not increase if we don't go above and beyond. no body cares about your problems. so u can either sit and be average or work hard (and smart) to outshine.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

[@ltthelattegirl]

100%!! Had similar experience hiring people with people who said they needed money/had a hard time at school/etc. Needed to hear this esp now too

[@ellyzagomez2045]

I've watch 3 of your videos in a row and I really like your view on things, your realistic and very practical. You need to have your own podcast! Please, I would listen all day to you talking🤍

[@lauratan7674]

The top 20% find a way and the bottom 80% find excuses. The top 20% will do whatever it takes to succeed, the late nights/early morns/working weekends/working holidays. Then when the top 20% succeed, the bottom 80% will say that the top 20% are lucky. That’s why the bottom 80% stay at the bottom and continue with their sad, miserable and poor lives. Totally concur with your video 💪 Continue grinding hard and stay in the top 20%!

[@Nike-vx6li]

Love this video 🔥 this is real life. Simone actually cares about people to do this because a lot of youtubers/influencers encourage delusional behavior

[@iamsomeone8266]

i appreciate that u said that the people who u actually read their resume/ CV, was not because they were qualified. I feel stupid but i am a damn good hard worker. IThis gave me such a hgih ambitious spark right now. Thank you.

[@theexplorer9927]

Whenever someone comes with their problems I tell them: "And what? No one cares" As harsh as that sounds, you pick up yourself and you fix yourself. It's important to develop an impecable work ethic, nothing great comes easy, hard work and effort puts you above everyone. There are people which regarding how they feel, they get the job done, and they're reliable and everyone starts to become dependent on them, because they actually bring quality to the table.

[@kamixae263]

Thank you so much queen for guiding us with your advices 💗💗

[@inang1968]
