The Power of Kindness | Simon Sinek

[@shivamnow]

Kindness is the best example of butterfly effect. Your single act of kindness has the power to transform the world.

[@DrKellyWaltman]

Yes!

Very true 👍💯💯

[@MJ-ye7dd]

Kindness is everything. This African American Lady found me by the roadside waiting to cross the road, it was heavily raining 🌧 she stopped her car ,requested me to get in and drove me to my apartment . Wherever and whoever you are, you touched my heart with your act of kindness 💛 Keep doing what you do and may you never lack anything you need

[@CrunchyNapkins]

Anger can knock down doors, but kindness can move mountains.

[@kathrynhopkins]

Change the world with kindness - love it!

[@BusinessMadhouse]

Simon, you are really inspiring. Your books *Start with why* is one of the best books I've read. I try to use all that you spoke about and My why is strong that I started my own KZbin channel!

[@ixamismbunpipi7345]

The last statement is true... '...it must be genuine...'

[@GrowWithSupreet]

Beautiful! I also find that kindness helps me to change my day/mood from a bad one to a good one. So I use my bad day to think of how can I make someone else's day better. It works amazingly and usually ends up making me feel way better. Oxytocin rocks!

[@racaciaruth4460]

You are absolutely correct about the surge that comes from oxytocin. We need more of this for our good. Cheers to the people who are genuinely doing acts of kindness.

[@sandramurdock2073]

Perfect timing on this upload Simon. As we all start going out into the world again we all need this.

[@PaulaGCurley]

Kindness is contagious. Every act will ripple in some way. Thanks Simon🙏

[@blackdogcoaching4436]

the ultimate act of kindness... My uncle donated his bone marrow to my father who was dying of leukaemia at the time. Unfortunately, it was too late and my father passed away, but that act will stay with me till my dying day 🙏 For those that don't know, the extraction of bone marrow is an insanely painful procedure.

[@LifeWithVinceLuu]

Be the person to spread genuine kindness.

[@SomaKitsune]

I'm not boasting, just giving an example. My old boss was a piece trash - still is as far as I can tell. He and his wife demoralised their staff and belittled them for the smallest mistakes, publicly reprimanding them and even whinging to customers about them (me included). Whenever these things happened, I made a point of cheering them up somehow. Doing some of their work, cleaning up their mistake, making them a coffee, getting them to do something easier for a while and so on. Just to make them feel okay. It got to the point where staff said they hated working at that place but didn't want to leave because they liked working with me. I ended up having enough of the boss after seven years and leaving just before Christmas and every single staff member except one left within a week. Kindness matters.

[@DrKellyWaltman]

Yes! Small acts of kindness are so powerful - for both the giver and the receiver. And the potential ripple effects from the smallest gesture can extend far beyond our imaginations.

[@ajnacsoma4242]

Kindness creates winwin. It is amaizing! So many times you put into words my thoughts and believes.

[@nwanyibuifeobiako162]

Simon, you're one of the best speakers and storytellers I've ever watched. Thank you for the management and leadership lessons you continuously share 🙏🏽

[@marinasocol3557]

Yesss! It's perfectly true! Sometimes people are surpised at an act of kindness but you know you left a mark and showed that person that kindness really exist! I just love doing that even if sometimes people become suspicious thinking that you might have a secret agenda! It took years to one of my colleagues to really trust my unconditional kind attitude! But it feels great anyway! 🌹🤗

[@eessa1727]

The secret to your strong appeal is your kindness🙏❤

[@abhijitkumargupta2823]

I want to spread out your messages to as many people as possible....... Something deep within me says your are right. I don't know what that is my guts, minds Or heart........ Thank you Simon Sinek you always inspired me and millions others. Someday I will also inspire people........

[@jackunger8634]

The impact of one specific act of kindness has lasted through generations. I doubt that the African American couple who helped my mother (on a dark winter night in Detroit, circa 1940) when she had slipped on ice and cracked her head on a concrete curb would have expected that this would influence my mother's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren so far. Their example goes beyond far beyond simple kindness because all too often any interaction with "white" people could easily have proven dangerous to them. They could have just walked on with no risk.

[@なおみ-b1q]

Kindness must be genuine, without an ulterior motive

[@stariadreamtea]

This guy is like if Jordan Peterson didn't suffer chronic depression. I love that he's as meaningful, intelligent and articulate - but actually believes in a happy life. I have been hoping to "manifest" or find a teacher like this since I first saw Peterson and thought "you but more hopeful" and then I stumbled on this. Brene Brown was close, but not what I meant.

[@khushbupatel1465]

Kindness is a feeling felt on being kind. It would be so great, if we can create a platform to share an act of generosity and motivate others.

[@VTUniversallearner]

Truly impeccable 🙏 Be more generous and kind

[@sundeutsch]

Great. If we see someone doing good, we tend to do good

[@lambusaab]

It must be genuine

[@fadighanem1]

I highly respect what you said. I believe we all should be kind with each other. But in the corporate world, kindness considered as weakness or lack of leadership! Can we change this culture?

[@mirayadingabay5520]

IT'S A POWERFUL FEELING AND VERY FULFILLING SOME TIMES IT'S CONTAGIOUS,YOU NEVER GET TIRED BECAUASE IT COMES FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART.

[@computertechnician4896]

Treat others the way you wish to be treated and the world would be a much better place. Unfortunately I found most people are only nice to me because they want some thing.

[@thaizahonorato]

I totally agree. Kindness is powerful

Alexa tells me that people who are genuinely kind are hard to find as they often go to extreme lengths to hide their good deeds.

[@johnnysandiegoable]

Did this in a drive through, easy to pay for the person’s food behind me and left them with no way to thank me, just the benefit of being the recipient of kindness

[@v1d300]

I consider myself kind but I admit there are times I know I can help but I hesitate, but at times I do help with the intention to make myself feel good or rather make myself look good (I know pretty selfish and egotistic). So in this case, is my act of helping out of making myself feel better not genuine?

[@ksc743]

Billions of us do the same! Human nature.

Some people will react that way for sure. I really like the quote though that says, "People may not remember what you said, or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou. Even if in the moment they are upset at least someone did care enough to do that thing for them. Sometimes this can come off a bit hand-holdy but if you truly help someone like how Simon explained here you should feel good about it and hopefully the other person will too. There's a balance to it, but yeah if you're genuine about it it'll really add to the joyful song in your soul. Maybe they'll ask why you did that for them. In any case just because someone responded poorly one way doesn't mean that it won't help a different person. We all have different needs. Some people are really hoping someone will help but they won't ask for it. Others are the opposite. The fact that you want to help others is a wonderful thing though. I wish you only the best in your endeavors.

[@DrKellyWaltman]

Agree with the other replies. We can't control how people receive or respond to our kindness, but if we are coming from a place of genuine and authentic kindness, that's all that matters. We can't know the type of day someone is having, or the struggle they are facing that causes them to respond unfavorably, but extending grace and kindness still puts goodness into the world.

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

It also goes for difficult people. People can be annoying. Incompetent. Ridiculous. But as I told my own subscribers, you have to make an attempt not to hurt them. And usually that means even their feelings. You have to understand that many will have annoying traits that are not necessarily bullying traits but just what they are--annoying. And usually this type of behavior comes from their own internal unrest. As one of my Muay Thai coaches said: if a tiger attacks you in the jungle you must draw your knife and kill it. But if a little dog was nipping at your heels would you kick it to death? No, you move it gently out of the way. And that is the effort you have to make with people. Not everyone is strong, most aren't warriors. They aren't confident therefore have to be dealt with gently like the above analogy. And if you do that daily, you will find that it reflects back and gives you only more tranquility. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles

Yes, some people are so cynical that they refuse to believe that someone could be nice just to be nice and that those people have a second goal.

Nope always got taken advantage of in situations like this and at work...that’s where you get taken advantage of the most. To many horrible stories to list but I don’t help people anymore.

Same. But I'm still kind to people with my words. I will also pick up a few papers or whatever, but I won't spend hours and hours helping someone (e.g. pack up their house).

I’ve just seen a video with 0 dislike !!! It feels so good and having more oxytocin 😁

[@CJ-ft9yo]

I think sometimes the ‘be kind’ statement is reductive somehow like saying “reach for the stars” when you’re run down. My very nature is being kind since i was in school, and of course it makes you feel good but I lately i tend to see the wider picture and that i have to be careful. It’s also made me wonder my natural kindness has a social reason. Over time I have had different reactions, like curiosity (‘Why would you be kind to your ex that cheated on you ?”), I’ve had people raised up by my kind attention, but there’s also another side, you’re taken for granted, end up carrying emotional burdens that’s not yours, constant high expectations of you, having to explain myself and how kindness can be seen to be weak and easy to make fun of. It’s even changed the dynamic in relationships. Over the years i’ve become a lot more introverted as people can be exhausting. I need to be assertive. I don’t mean to berate kindness, as random kindness to strangers is a beautiful thing. I think sometimes the ‘be kind’ statement is reductive somehow like saying “reach for the stars” when you’re run down. The ultimate kindness for me anyways is to be kind to myself first and foremost..
