Wow. Simplify . Beautify . Take the time❤️✨
this is my life, but in a city. It is possible in everywhere
Even though Jon is not fluent in English, his ideology was powerful enough to attract 8 million views.
“It’s difficult to learn in academia because it’s so boring” ain’t that the truth
Every farmer is a magician who has power to convert a seed into food.
People has a choice at least. Became yourself, love yourself. Everybody have a reason to do what and why.
Love the Ad
great work there ,thanks for motivational speech @TED
If you think life should be easy- you are right.
If you think life should be difficult – you are right.
The best Ted talks, for you who own the land from your growth but I don't have my own land so that's the reason of hard working and then we can own the land to build my dream as you did.
every sentence this man speaks is a quote
This guy would freak out in a place in like California (or Canada) where there are regulations galore. Heck, in some cities there are bylaws against collecting rainwater. Not to mention that today's governments want you to rely on THEM, instead of yourself. Everyone is a 'victim' and 'helpless' in today's leftist ideology.
3000 people with mortages downvoted this.
Wisdom for a whole lifetime, and still spilling over…
Damn bruh was in his bag!!
But he has a choice, he has the land. What if people don't have a choice? I think it's easier said than done.
Work smarter, not harder
Every word this person said has deep meanings behind them.
Hm b
Life is easy and fun. I got to take his quote and say it everyday!!!. Life is easy and fun!!!
I think he is very talented maybe that why easy. ..however I must say he has a good attitude…
He is a simple man…he will always be happy…
One of my best Ted talk so far. Keep it Simple sxxxxx!
This man is really a good
Good idea..life is simply and make it easy…but now we are running to ..various goals more than. Life’s need…
I’d rather be content than constantly happy
Thank you so much for your wise words 🙏
I don't want to be successful
ขอบคุณสำหรับมุมมองดีๆครับ
So how did he get the land to build the house ?
Everyone can listen Ven. San Sochea Page
Exillence!
I agree with most of the philosophy. But you really cannot oversimplify everything. You don't need a house to live in Thailand, nature is rich and the climate is warm. If I don't have house here in the north, I die. And I cannot simply build a house where ever, I need permission to use the land. And I need to insulate my house against the snow and wind, these are much harder and expensive to do than just build something from clay brick and straw.
I guess we could all go to Thailand, that's where the rich white folk go to retire anyway.
Fully agree with each and every words . Really we are uncivilized . we are wasting half of life to live comfort life.earn anxiety, mentally problem and depress in the cost of money
Wow
Hes the rich one, he has land, born into a village where the could take land. Us, born in cities, bricks and concrete, land being scarce
Because my mum
I hope my government doesn't see this. They'll ruin it somehow.
It all comes down to paying tax to fund politicians and the military.
This is unbelievable someone is saying this. It is difficult to find, things like this, that tell exactly what makes sense a person would say about the present way of the world.
Exactly… i just bought an acre of land. To feed 2 ppl.
Easy to life, off Internet. Back to nature and will find your happiness.
Beautiful. I have another person who have ways of thinking that pretty much like me😊🙏🏻💕
I’m sure he made some great points but I don’t understand anything he’s saying.
I used to like this talk when I first watched it years ago. But when I got to learn more about this man, I realize that he has become a millionaire and is making tons of money off his high-priced products from his farm, restaurant, wellness/learning center, workshops, etc., I'm not sure what to think of him. He still lives in northern Thailand but I don't know what "simple" means to him anymore.
He is the happiest person in this world 👍👍👍
จริงๆชีวิตมันง่าย แต่มนุษย์เราทำให้มันยากขึ้นทุกวันแล้วแต่ปัญหาของแต่ละคน👍👏🇱🇦
เก่งกว่านายกอีก
Awesomeness…….
I totally agree with you that we don’t need a more successful people. We need a more normal people that who are happy whatever they have. Thank you for sharing your man 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What's Wrong with the Monetary System?… – The Zeitgeist Movement Global | Facebook
Today, money comes into existence by debt creation when commercial banks borrow from central banks and when governments, producers or consumers borrow from commercial banks. … This way, economic actors run into danger of excessive indebtedness and bankruptcy.
The current monetary system results in a wide array of negative social, environmental and economic consequences: high house prices, high public and private debts, inequality, the environment, and democracy, periodic booms & busts, and occasionally financial crises, depressions and even debt deflations, as well as serious consequences for growth, unemployment, investment.
I buy it because I need it…
I am watching this in 2019 and still find this talk to be relevant and true.
M truly inspired
ใครดูใน 2019 บ้างกดไลก์เลย
WoW … I’m speechless.
I saw this twice today.
He reminds me of my grandfather so much in some ways.
He is so wise.
Why i feel relax when i listen to this guy
笑死 我倒是想有地种 有地建房子，可是我没有啊
3000个资本家表示反对👎
This is the Best ted talk. This guy has read my mind.
The deceitfulness of riches…. you can be rich but if the work youre doing doesnt bring you joy then why
Dam right Mr, make YOUR life easy, and everything will fall into place….. . If your not right with yourself, then everything else will be difficult..
Thank u sir.
Finally a nice TED talk!
สุดยอด,I love that,expected Thai people can hear his heart.
If someday I go to Chiang Mai I need to meet him or his community
Thx
I asked a old man what is true happiness and sadness? He answered "True happiness is feeling gratitude to God and world for everything you have, use them to make this world a better place and ultimately leaving this life with a great satisfaction." And as for sadness/unhappiness? He said "it is focusing on what you don't have/need, neglecting everything you have, comparing yourself to others and ending the life with only regret". What a true wisdom words.
This guy has got it right.
من أبسط الناس تأتي اكبر حكمة شكراً لك
♥️♥️
Godlike
I think I have found my idol
Best 👍🏽
Food is life, anyone here wants to plan a food supply and we all help to build a community together, live easy together? separate our life from a damn GDP economic system
All depend about your dreams. If your dream is big you will fight for it. If it is mediocre little efforts are enough
I absolutely love his spirit. I want to live where he lives!
What people think of me is their own problem lol be yourself.
We keep on working hard but at the same phase our lives also getting hard. Why is that? That's how the system has created. It has designed to keep us enslave forever. As paycheck get bigger unknowingly the lifestyle requirements also get bigger making the costs to go high. With this the debt comes to play. Look around, majority of those who are living in big houses, driving top notch vehicles, where there children goes to top schools, all expenses on fancy items……all these things are done on borrowed money. And the debt trap will enslave them for good 15 – 20 plus years of their lives. Materialistically you look happy, but internally are you?
Great Message
Best thing i ever listened to!!! 🙂
Oh i think this is real, God with the santuy people.
Never pray for an easy life
Don’t keep on digging if water comes!
good question. self-managment, and channeling your energy , most people live for others and be lived instead of living.
Life is hard because of the GOVERMENT it makes things streesful for humans it either wants or if IT cant get it one way or the other then NO you cant have it
Well life is how we make it. It's a matter of choice. No harm in challenging yourself to obtain material or immaterial things that'd make you happy, as long as you keep yourself grounded
I have never met anyone in my life as simple as this guy. He explained something so fundamentally wrong with our society that most people fail to even recognize it. So refreshing.
Everything is so Hard(Complicated)
Really admirable ,, see the perspective of this man 😲
Such a beautiful ted talk ! Now I gotta visit Jon in Thailand !!!
bu videonun amacı ne allah aşkına
When we surround ourselves with materialistic things and titles we become unhappy and stress. I love this talk! We work hard to buy things to impress people we don't even know.
Actually why we r doing hard still not understand why !!! life is simple but peoples expectation from us is so high then we forget ourselves and start doing what they want, so we have to recheck our life where it's going on..
the main issue is capitalism
Just come back from staying with my wife's family in Chiang Rai and it really is like that. Very chilled very easy and such a lovely atmosphere
Capitalism doesn't like it. In case of real life, it is just an ideal cannot adapt or adjust into real life because we all were influenced by Capitalism system already and it's quite hard to separate your life stay away from it.
In Germany nothing easy
Everything a lot of law
House can not Bild here the way you like
this ted talk is the only one to actually change my whole mood on life. I Love this man.
I applaud the person who wrote the CC subtitles.
This is how we divide our life by problems(life is hard)❤
