I'm the kind of person who doesn't call a friend when I'm struggling because i don't want to burden them so this beautiful, emotional, vulnerable, candid conversation between you and Christina is really inspiring and eye-opening! 🌹 I've saved it on my KZread because I know I will want to go back and re-watch it more than once. Thanks to both of you for sharing your special friendship with us! ✨🪷

Simon, you're an angel. I wish I had a friend like you x

This is how I have become in the last few years. A whole paradigm shift. Incredibly powerful. This stuff is contagious y’all. Soak it up.

The little things are actually the big things. Thank you for recognizing the joys that connects our lives. It is why we exist. Thank you so very much!

We can be there for someone and treat them with kindness and respect.

This is amaizing!!! Thanks for every word you shared with us! I also want to share a quote from a novel, that is related to what you have said about "good and bad times". One of the characteres say: "There is no banquet in this world that doesn't come to an end. Yet soon after, he added, "But, I will never leave you." And the last thing I want to share is something that comes from my teaching experience and is related to "the two ways of asking for help" you mentioned. I used to teach only teenagers (or adults) and every time they felt the need to ask me for help for the first time, it was very difficult for them and when they finally did, they seemed very embarrassed. When I started teaching fourth and fifth graders (primary school), I had the same experience. However, the first time I taught a first grader and she had to write the letter "B" she said "but you have to help me write this, I DON'T KNOW HOW, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME IF YOU WANT ME TO WRITE THIS! (and I write it in capital letters because she spoke very loudly, without mincing words, in fact she moved her hands and made a very cute face) I remember how her eyes sparkled and the smile that didn't fall off her face. I thought maybe it was just her, the way she was, but that was not the case, other childs at first and second graders asked me in the same confident way (some of them in a quieter way, but not embarrassed at all). So I come to the (sad) conclusion that the difficulty of asking for help is something we internalize when we grow up. And we, as teachers, play an important role in that. We say we want them to ask for help, but when we play team games we set points and prizes, and we say they are meant to be collaborative games because kids can ask each other for help BUT "if you get the answer you get 2 points, while if you ask for help you get 1." How can we encourage children to ask for help if we tell them that by doing that they will get less, when it is totally the opposite! I know I had a big role in some of the teens I mentioned earlier, and I'm afraid to follow through with that. I don't want them to feel that way, I don't want that cute little girl to lose that confidence she has when she asks for help. And his lectures, podcasts and books help me a lot to change what I need to change, to do it better.

Thank you Simon Today I learned from you alot. despite you are in front of the camera didn't let not to be a human. To be a human that is a beautiful thing, to cry, to talk to your friend about your suffering. and also thanks for Christina. I really love your talks . keep inspiring and teaching us.

Simon great human and super inspirational ❤ It is some kind of magic how he gives us eternal bit of optimism each time 🎉🎉🎉

Hi Simon, I'm always happy to hear you. You're such a great leader. ❤

Such lovely facts about friendship! I’m a friend who is there for others but unfortunately I had a friend who turned to be a fake person

Yes! Gems for identifying true friends and nurturing friendships. Critical need! True friends are hard to come by, and true friendships require work to cultivate. P.S. Merci pour le partage! C'est un cadeau. J'avais l'impression d'écouter aux portes :)

Omg...I'm crying 😭❤️

I loved this so much. Thank you
