Most of us do man... a lot of people who you didn't hear about (or haven't hear about). Maybe even your co-workers. Go through a lot. Pure grind and pain of everyday life. At the end, we don't know what is going on in another life, another person, what kind of internal "demons" this person is fighting through, or what kind of personal problems are in their lives. We never do. All we can do is our best, that sometimes we notice that, in the other person, that maybe something is wrong there, or the person needs help. But in most cases... we won't. We have our own "demons" to fight with, our day to day struggles. But I bet that guy would. He would notice it. Straight away. And he also would have been there for us at that point. Edit: usual stuff > grammar/spelling.

1. His voice is really calming and captivating 2. The things we must all contend with are "choice", and the "consequences" of them 3. Mental strength gets you through, so it's worth investing in. Resilience. 4. Physical activity can build mental resilience and impact a kind of wisdom.

Idk why no body’s talking about the million dollar advice he gave ….we need to make us stronger again, …..get more physicality into our life 💪🏻♥️

One thing I keep learning from munks and even fictional characters like dumbledore or gandalf, is that they give their advice in such a mystic and simple manner, that allows the receiver to think for themselves rather than getting the answer right away. I've found that even speaking in riddles or asking questions rather than giving an answer can be a really great thing when giving advice.

Deepest thougt provoking Truth ever... Physicality!!!! The body when active will teach the fragile mind to put down the thoughts of I cant Do It ... The Body temple is the key. And I've been a victim of my mind over my body for years now. Thanks Shi Heng and Shaolin for the Push. He's right how many lives change by watching motivational podcats...

His first TedxTalk is one of the best insightful speeches I have came to know in my short life.

He's entirely correct. We have become a WEAK society. The technology is destroying us. I run a farm, and getting consistent help and people who want to work has become beyond a challenge. It wasn't that way 10 years ago. People wanted to work and learn and develop this trade. Now, they don't think they need to show up when they committed to show up or to do a good job. They quit easy. They take offense easy. They dump their responsibility easy. They cannot handle feedback or understand the importance of getting the animals taken care of. They want basic skillset to happen easily for them. Forget about obtaining advanced skillset. They fantasize about having advanced skillset because they are depressed and unfulfilled within themselves, so they try once, fail, and quit. However, you cannot tell them they failed and to try again. You have to say, "Oh, good job." Maybe you'll get them to keep going. They might also think how wonderful they are and they've achieved what they wanted, so then they quit. It's come down to this...I've stopped trying to get people to work, and I pretty much do it all myself. It's sad because the skills will not be inherited into the next generation. I worked through my apprenticeships in exchange for lessons. If you work for money, you don't get the lessons. You walk away with money and less knowledge. If you work for the lessons, you gain knowledge, and then you can charge others to teach them. WORK. Get used to the idea because it never ends.

My employees don't earn very much, but they enjoy coming to work because of our corporate culture. That's what motivates us as humans, whereas money is just a piece of paper. No one gets up in the morning motivated to get a piece of paper, but being around positive people who understand, appreciate and support you definitely does.

"Too busy with their body, too busy with activity to be depressed" I can attest to this because of my job. When I am at work, I am usually in the best mindset. I tend to forget bad things going on in my life, such as bad grades, getting over a girl, your family at home, whatever it may be. It still occupies my mind at work sometimes, but often, since I am working with my hands digging holes, carrying heavy things, moving stuff, or installing things in the ground, I am a bit more at ease.

They have a calm, confident, inner peace, but at the same time they have a very powerful presence about themselves. Everything that they do, they eat, they think, they practice, all has purpose.

Thank you for this new TED talk and your wisdom. You look a little tired, take care.

One of the best speakers!!!!

This talk will ‘upset’ a as it will hit various spots but it’s so to the point. Such wisdom on the path of self-mastery.

This one left a different feeling, compared to the first talk. I don't know if Master Shi reads any comments, probably not, cause there are too many... But I'd like to thank him for the talk he gave us. This was a great talk, and he is a great speaker. I'm just a guy from Russia, but I'd also like to further share what I think on the matter of the missing link. Care and discipline take a lot of energy. I've been feeling lately, that our energy is only that much, for every one of those 8 billion human beings. Each is given their own natural amount of daily/weekly/monthly/yearly energy. Then we have the mentioned choice. It is also my observation, that we don't always realize the total expenditure and where exactly does it go. How much of that energy is taken by what we do over the day? It's not easy to track, since we are talking about psychic energy, not physical. If you are out of physical energy, you muscles can not move. If you are out of psychic energy, you thoughts can not move and you are left with your default state. Which may happen to be... Depression. Or apathy. Depending on how you were brought up and how much of that sweet care you've received. Meditation and physical excersize may (and will) help you change the default state and give you a solid ground for your life. But. If you find energy for meditation and excercize. If you struggle to find it, then maybe you have already exchanged that energy for something else. Maybe something you don't actually need? Maybe. Just maybe, it so happened that you'd been shown ways to trade your energy, that are far away from being optimal or even useful to you? It is not your fault, but it is now your responsibility to notice this kind of thing, since you do already own your life, even if you do not fully accept this fact yet.

I never heard such an awesome speech like this before.

Great speech. After I came across Shi Heng Yi's Videos almost 3 years ago I started practicing the Ba Duan Jin (8 Brocades Exercise) daily at home and it helped me to balance physically and mentally, change parts of my life, helped as a routine through tough times, strengthened me during good times. And it activated anchient wisdom, which is stored in our bodies. A few months ago I stopped with this exercise. I had to and wanted to adjust my routine, because of body issues and because my body asked me to activate a different kind of energy. So I switched to something totally different - succesfully. It now slowly came to an end. And for 2 days ago I kept hearing "Ba Duan Jin" first thing after waking up. So I started again with great joy and kept some of the routine from the past months 😀 What a treat. I love the intelligence of our bodies ❤️

It's nice to see his personality in this talk. And what he is saying makes perfect sense.

Great job, Master Shi Heng Yi! Thank you deeply for your deep wisdom & courage.

I don't know when this TEDx took place, but I very much thank you Shifu Shi Heng Yi for talking to my country fellows. We already forget what a poet from Transylvania wrote, in the 19 century: George Cosbuc: "viata asta-i luptã grea, Sã aibã tot pe neluptat cei lasi at vrea." On the other hand, we knew our ancestors, Dacians, were good fighters. As well as the Roman legions, they had much physical activity. Many Dacians were enrolled in the Roman legions, or were forced to enrol, after the death of Decebal (he wasn't depressed, but only aware of his future "possibilities", "chances", and took the chance to die as a free King). Today many young Romanian males enrol in the "Légion etrangère". This is hard to succeed, but if one is successful they can learn many useful things. Every "legionnaire" can relate on his training and his fellows, as the "Seals" in American army. In the Spartan army, the shield was very important, not only to protect oneself, but especially to protect one's fellows fighters. "Each one for himself and God for all" is the nowadays Motto. (The 3 Musketeers were merely saying one for all and all for one, but this is what it was). However, the strength from each of us can help the collective! A Romanian say is: "Omul sfinteste locul". We must remember it! "Ubi bene ibi Patria!" But "Fie pâinea cât de rea, tot mai bunã-i când o stiu din tzara mea". Wherever we are living, we always should consider to make proud our parents and ancestors. Respecting ourselves, doing the best possible in our workplace and life, will force the respect of others. I know what you'll answer: "westerners are trying and succeeding to exploit us. Yes. I live this every day. But I'll never forget where I am from, respect the laws and try to do the best, even if it really hurts. And always saying proudly that I am from my country, but living among a "sneaky", "unfriendly" population. The entering the francofolie and eurounion made people run away, because "the power" was "obliged" to "sold" everybody's job for nothing. Don't sold your soul in addition to that, like Faust! "Every country has the history it deserves" one said (don't remember who!). Don't blame the Russians, every country in Europe had "the chance" to confront with its powerful or less powerful neighbours! But many, working hard, overcome the difficulties and become successful. Perhaps their kings were less selfish and more trustworthy. Some become powerful by being sneaky, I am thinking about some still powerful colonial countries (guess which are they?). "Fortuna audaciis adjuvant!" (the chance is helping the brave ones!) Physical activity and knowing oneself is the best way to cope with the difficult moments in life! Shaolin philosophy is right. You are so wise, Shifu!
