I stopped watching when he said "if you're not fulfilled at work, you're not going to be fulfilled in your life" Your work is not the be all and end all. It's a means to an end. Your life fulfilment comes not from work, but from family, friends, and lifestyle.
James L There are exceptions. Like I thinks it’s perfectly reasonable for a neurosurgeon to get their fulfillment from saving life’s/thinking they are doing good
@@jameswhite3415 I suppose, but that's a small number of people and it's not objective, but then again, fulfillment isn't objective. The vast majority of folks aren't in that bucket.
James L We are in such a buzzare time technology wise though. Technological progress keeps accelerating and changing life’s. if these trends continue jobs days are numbered.
This is nice advice if you're lucky enough to have a job that already gives you SOME fulfillment beyond a paycheck. Many of us aren't so lucky. How does a fast food peon employee struggling to pay for basic necessities apply this lesson?
Of course everyone should strive to feel fulfilled at work, but certain jobs/companies are so full of soul sucking, profit driven BS that you’re not going to get fulfillment internally. I started volunteering this year with a community gardening organization because I needed something completely different in my life than the daily grind and I like doing some physical labor for a change.
I've been at such a thing once, i could not work in a shed turning tubes open and closing them. What's the point to that? You tell the people in their it's for the factory but nobody ever sees anyone from the "factory" and these people have been doing the same thing in school. I don't think that's a respectfull way to handle humans at all.
Ya, no. I tried working from within and all that did was get management angry because all they care about is profit and nothing else. Hence, I quit my paid work and now I volunteer at two homeless shelters. It's much more fullfiling and makes me happy at the end of the day, instead of working for multi-national corporations, making them richer.
All you goody-two-shoes going on about how volunteer work should be an utterly selfless thing that's done entirely for others without a thought for self (get real there's no way you're volunteering doing something you hate that makes you miserable by choice, you martyrs), quit with your black & white thinking. What this is saying is valid. You can & should look for volunteer that fulfils & satisfies you & there's no reason at all that jars with the selfless ideal of volunteerism. You can both be of service & do something you'll enjoy & want to continue doing in the long term, which seems to me to be the smart way to go about it for everyone involved. Longevity saves organisations from having to lose & retrain people, especially organisations that deal directly with vulnerable people who would suffer from a high turnover of volunteers.
Who on earth gives this video a thumbs down?. It’s the most sensible advice I have heard in decades having done loads of community volunteering. A great video, well done.
If you're in charge of some part of volunteering, don't except people to do things by the book or your way. If you harp on things (e.g., timelines, processes, 100% effort) they won't return next time. It's not like a job were they have to be on time and precise or else! If you are not in leadership. Have fun, and try to do it your way. If that's not good enough, give up on that project. Tomorrow is another day to find a great place that is looking for volunteers.
Richard place I volunteer at is so precise and I just feel stressed by it. Too many things to know and no pay. I thought it would be more joyful but I just feel like I'm an unpaid staff member.
I don't know why but this entire piece seems like a "what can volunteering do for....ME" thing. Pretty sure that volunteering isn't supposed to be about me.

Volunteering is amazing but put urself first❤if you are too tired and stressed out you can’t really help other s

yup. This guy is all smoke, he cannot even control his image and weight, let alone talk sense.
The reverse is probably more true. if you're not fulfilled in your life, you won't be at work.

This isn't what most people get wrong about volunteering. This is what RICH people get wrong about volunteering.
This sentence makes me go Yes.
Volunteering at work for work is basically working for free.
That is why they call it volunteering

great you do that, good luck paying your rent, unless you get another income from somewhere, its unfortunately not an option for most people
Woah... I just volunteered at work with the mind set of meeting more people within the organization.
This guy makes a living creating corporate volunteering programs. Isn't that kind of an oxymoron?
alg11297 exactly what I was thinking
agencies full of paid workers, looking for people who want to work for free...
So I should do extra work at work for free??? No thank you corporations are already stealing my soul.
He does bring it into perspective.

I think this is quite a good analysis. One of the best I've seen lately on this channel :)

@@KM-zn3lx and that's what you are.
To the CEO of a company, the difference in pay between an employee and a volunteer is almost negligible.
They overthink it.
I don't know why but this entire piece seems like a "what can volunteering do for....ME" thing. Pretty sure that volunteering isn't supposed to be about me.

Aaron needs to study Pareto.
Work is the problem!
