"Every single thing that you learn really just gives you more comfort. It's something I counsel kids all the time: if someone is willing to teach you something for free, take them up on it. Do it. Every single time. All it does is make you more likely to be able to succeed. And it's kind of a nice way to go through life."

Canadians will say he is a national treasure, I think this is inaccurate; he is a global treasure! Truly one of the most incredible people of our generation x
I couldn't agree more.
totally agree ..incredibly intelligent, great personality...he's got it all..
i say he’s a cosmic treasure haha :)
rockstarJDP we all truly are global treasures because everyone is special in their own abilities and personality that no one else on the planet that you can find matches, that if we all work towards making Earth a better place and unlocked previously unknown knowledge. The future will truly go above and beyond in terms of human evolution in technology and knowledge, and one thing for certain that the possibilities for the people on Earth to discover life on day on another planet is as vast as the endlessness of space.
Not only Chris Hadfield is a treasure to be honest, everyone is.
I got to meet and speak with Chris a number of years ago. My daughter had hip surgery at CHLA and early one morning in walks Chris and a few others. I looked at him and said "I know you". He introduced himself and with the title of Space shuttle commander, I introduced myself as an Aerospace worker and he immediately thanked me for working on an STS project that I was involved with at the time. Very nice man. Gave my daughter an autograph. Thanks Chris, was great to meet you.
Very cool story - i hope your daughter is well. 🙏
@@JR-zm2yu Thanks JR. My daughter is doing very well and her hip is in great condition!
@@Somethingisntright64 Awesome 🙏
@@Somethingisntright64 Ps you should ck out GreenGreg channel - Greg Alison - also worked on Sts & is still contracted w/NASA - He looks like an Einstein farmer now & is spot on imo.
Ya know? Chris. You’ve been a guiding star in my life since early high school. I watch this interview when I have self doubt. It reminds me that no one knows what’s exactly going on. We’re all human. We’re all making mistakes. We’re all just pushing through it. With enough pushing a break will arrive, and everything will be calm. Brave the storm, and see the beauty of a smooth ocean.
Chris makes me very proud as a fellow Canadian. World Ambassador for sure.
I could listen to him for hours, such a humble & amazing human being with an understanding of the world & himself, so relevant at the time in this world we are living, thank you Chris
. . . this is very inspirational, I appreciate the brave people like Chris who expand our universe while we sit and watch, and listen, and learn.
I think being kind to each other is an important thing. After I’m gone what is remembered. Not just a “nice guy” but a good person
This was incredibly articulated. What an interesting person/.
The more you learn the less you know
It's like he hasn't lost his enthusiasm for his job, for being an astronaut, his zest for life from his perspective. I wish everyone could be given the chance to feel that enthusiasm. I'd like to be blown away by awe like he has been.
Get to know the One, true, Living God Who created all this , and you will experience - awe. You will be in awe of Him, all He is, all He can do, and shall yet do. Find out His purpose for being here, at this time, where you live. He is truly the inspiration of awe.
I would give almost anything to experience what Chris Hadfield has been able to experience, but I am thankful that he was chosen as an astronaut. He can so elegantly express and relay his experiences, verbally and through photography, so that the rest of us can begin to imagine what it is like to be in space.
"...Shared Understanding is what empowers us most." Wise words from Commander Chris Hadfield I.S.S.
@Adler Maybe listen to the video again. Additionally, a song comes to mind: 'What the world needs now is love'. Keep looking up.👍👍🙏
"We're all students of the human condition". That's a good line. Gata remember that one.
We aren’t perfect ... that’s what I think that means
@@SimpleLifeAlways81 you are perfect, we are all perfect.
Good speech. Whoever is reading this it doesnot matter how bad your situation is don't give up. You are so close to a breakthrough and restoration of whatever you had lost.
do a flip
That "sigh" at 7:58 as hes trying to explain what he saw says more than any words could. really happy he as a human being was able to live through and enjoy such an experience.
Once you start living a life of compassion for everyone and everything, life stops hurting so much. Have a good life, everyone.
Was lucky enough to hear him talk at our university about 5 years ago, such a great guy.
Wonderful person, smart. We as a society needs people like Chris to become leaders. Thank you so much from all of us.
“Without anybody telling me what to think and without any filters in the way.” THAT right there is the most important sentence of this entire video. THAT right there is what we all need to aspire to. To think for ourselves. Impossible to truly achieve 100% but that is the ideal.
exactly. Watch the video "why did sokrates hate democracy" Might feel familiar as elections are all about charisma due to the simplicity in the minds of people It's easier to live like an animal than being an intellectual
If you thought 100% for yourself youd be psychotic
In your opinion.
So you're saying people that constantly lie and/or repeat false information and conspiracies should just be left alone? Flat Earthers will tell you ALL of the footage captured of a CLEARLY spherical Earth during this man's career in space was FAKED. You think it's OK for people like that to pass along such ignorance and a willful disregard of facts to their children, and anyone who might listen to them?
You are my hero, Chris Hadfield. You have inspired me to look into the stars.
I gotta follow this guy on twitter, he's epic, need more of this perspective in my life, honestly
I've never heard Chris talk like this before - really nice thoughts. With astronauts always talking about their perspective change after having viewed the earth from afar I've wondered how different our world would be if everyone had the chance to see the full circle of earth. It's such a comforting picture, the earth, those bright blues, greens, and whites. It's strange to feel proud having earth as home. As if there were another option. Anyway, I'd bet good money we'd all get along a little better if we all had that opportunity.
True! I've always thought that if everyone was able to go up there and see how minute we stand in the universe, there would be less wars and violence. People would maybe use their combined energy to work on something unifying, greater and better for mankind.
I am sure it would be a better place then, and there wouldn‘t be flat earthers anymore
The smaller version of that is going on a trip, sleeping in a tent and hearing, seeing, observing, FEELING Nature. Might not be at the same level but it sure gives me every time this sense of being so insignificant. I truly think everyone should experience this at least once, but preferably regularly
That my friend is called "The Overview Effect". Many astronauts come back with much more love for the planet after their trip to space! I believe all of humanity should experience this. The world would be a different place I believe.
Chris Hadfield is a truly remarkable Canadian, and probably the most famous one today. His autobiography 'An Astronauts guide to life on earth' is a brilliant read. Canada has a lot to be proud of. Chris is one of them.
Love this man and I totally recommend his book ‘ An Astronaut’s guide to life on earth ‘ !
I consider me so great full and lucky to receive so many truly interesting lessons here on you tube from people all over our planet. History, science, culture, and personal story’s... Thank you ❤️
Wow you are such a kind soul, I used to think youtube as addiction, you completely changed my view. Thanks for being here.
Not many people get to see the world from that point of view, must have been awe inspiring. Kind of man I could listen to for hours.
Thank you for sharing! I could listen to him all day long. You can tell he leaves his ego out and brings the best of him while speaking.
When I was 20 I thought everyone else knew what they were doing. As I grew older I realized if Larry the Cable Guy could succeed that I could do better. Never limit yourself to others limitations. You can do better if you believe in yourself. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a wonderful message that Chris delivers here! How to treat other people/ what he would say to his 20 year old self is just filled with so much wisdom. Everyone should watch this video.
My takeaways from this lovely video: *Every body you meet no matter how expensive they look or how rich they are,they are looking for significance,they are trying to do the best they can in life.. +We are all students of the human condition,the more people you meet the more you see what battles people are fighting. *
Wow what a nice human being, I’m so glad this popped up in my KZhead Thanks a million and thanks for sharing your wisdom !!!!!
I’m so glad I saw this post. I love taking photographs of places I find that touch you on a soul level. I can’t imagine what it would be like seeing that every day! Thank you.
Thank you Col. Hadfield for your concise efforts to help connect us to visions and understandings of the conditions in which we all, here on earth are a part in. Remarkable. 👍😎
Having said all that, as humans let's also remember the ever increasing struggle and suffering we inflict on all the life/nature around us, next time you see a stray cat or dog, know they are fighting to stay alive and yearn to be loved, lets care about the rivers and seas we so harshly pollute, the forests we hack down for our co consumption, before you about to crush and kill a bug, know they are just living and we happen to live where they do to, let's in short start respecting caring for everything around us, we forget we SHARE this beautiful planet, maybe covid-19 reminded us, are insignificant here in our lockdowns and fear, let's respect where we live or it will cease to respect us as a race, let's love and respect ALL life around us ❤
You put a lot together in a well thought statement.
👍❤️👍 It’s all about love, compassion and understanding.
Right on. Humans have a hard time being anything but a human---but there's a multiplicity of other living things on this same planet besides humans! Only if you were the only life form living on a deserted island would you then not have to care about other living things or the effects of your actions.
Aroha nui is maori for Big Love encompassing All, the people, the animals, the sea, the earth. When did it all go so wrong,when it is so simple.
@@tiktaktotiki8595 for humans its greed and wants
As they say struggle make you stronger and motivate you to accomplish you goal and dream even more. 💪👍
We are all struggling souls... This was so very cool!
I sent this to everyone I love long ago What an inspirational human!
Uplifting words of wisdom. Just what we need right now.
“If you give wind and sand enough time together, they create art”... keep going guys
One of my favorite human being...Chris Hadfield ❤️
Many believe that the Earth, the planets, and the stars are living, conscious heavenly beings. Whether you do or not, this is our Home, and the Earth deserves our Respect. Excellent video!
ABDURRAHMAN SHAH Think of it metaphorically and it all comes together. You seem to believe too much in science. Good for you. So do I, but at least I understand where he comes from and more or less what he means.
Sounds like had a zen moment. It can take you 3 minutes or it can take you 30 years. You can get it in the forest, you can get it in outer space. What a wonderful experience when you feel interconnected with your environmental.
What an amazing man, with amazing insights. Opened my mind to things I had never even considered, before watching this video.
Just his genuine thankfulness tells you what a special person he is. This is a trait we should all aspire to have. It can hugely change the way you look at life. Humanity owes him more for his hard work and bravery to get there he chooses to be thankful.
Absolutely right. It's very seldom to hear this expression of hope and wishes and love for humans.
Hit the share button. You’ve just shared his understanding. Well done everyone Keep struggling. Keep going through your own battle. But we are all watching this video. We are wonderful 💙
I like eggs
"been around the world" gets a totally different meaning when Chris Hadfield says it
16 times a day going around the world in orbit :)
@Jules Maneki Neko not once has he went around the world. All lies to hide God from the people.
@@MrUnknown7212 God would want to share the beauties of the galaxy with man. I don't see how that would be a way to hide God from the people.
Ive been around the world a few times... there are only 10 people left who have walked on the moon....
Thank you mr chris! You make me realise how every human being is worth in every aspect! Love u and respect!
It's always amazing to listen such life experiences of these great pioneers who always inspire you to push yourself beyond ur limits
Great message for the young Chris, especially during these times!!!
Touch your denying side and say Go for it ✊🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Mr.Hadfield is such a humble and down to earth person for someone who has achieved so much . Best advice : Every single person you meet is struggling and fighting their own battle.
Much needed in Quarantine times - World needs more sympathy, empathy and grace.
Travel certainly gives you some perspective on life. Can only imagine how space travel affects, certainly has given this gentleman some great insight.
The man did travel....extensively !
Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm👍👍
Winston had some Great quotes !
Great comment my friend.Echoes the great values of stoicism.
Im both humbled and grateful for hearing this!
Thank you Chris Hadfield for sharing your experience as an astronaut with all of us down on terafirma. Your story is not only compelling but very inspiring.
I've somehow realized before that everyone is struggling. When I did realized it it changed my perspective. It makes me unable to judge enyone for anything and I've always been the peace maker. Never taking sides because everyone has their reasons and I want the conflict to be solved without someone being wrong. Because most likely they both did something wrong and someting right. I've been judged on just one (positive) sentence and I can't understand how someone can judge someone's entire life by on sentence, one word, one event. Were all species on this globe floating in space. We should try to understand each other. And give each other the benefit of the doubt. Thank you.
Imagine how great our world would be if everyone shared this perspective
Well said, that's why i only reall feel comfortable when im alone.
Imagine all the people sharing all the world...
I remember being interested in Chris Hadfield when he became a Canadian Astronaut so I decided to do a little researching on this man . After reading and learning about his journey to become a Canadian Astronaut, it was quite apparent of how blessed this man was intellectually. To summarize simply Chris Hadfield He is basically an overachiever to the N-th degree. A man of complete brilliance and abilities that are frankly second to none. Just ask the boys at top gun:) I regard him as one of the finest Canadians of all time. Listening to this just amplifies this . Well done ........ and well said Fairwinds from the @captains.chair
Beautiful 🤗
A shared understanding is what empowers us more than anything . Everything is grace.
I watch the ISS on ustream to relax. It’s beautiful. Listening to this wonderful human it is apparent that he is a true teacher.
We need more Canadians in space, Hadfield is a great person, as are most Canadians I have met or dealt with in my life.
Miraculous! I’m so glad he had this amazing experience. It is moving to hear. I do wish I could do something so meaningful or all encompassing.
I really like your enthusiasm for life and also the way you explain each little details! You have a talent for this. Thank you for your service!
This makes me so much better. Thank you Col. Hadfield.
Yes- we all need significance. We’ve come a long way since that movie -“Around the world in 80 days.” One couldn’t go into the stratosphere without coming back awestruck and poetic.
Is that about the fake moon landing?
@caprice.t I was the biggest believer . In ufo and other life forms and planets. My uncle is a 1 star general in us air force he married my mom sister. My point is I come from good family and not trying to be a hater or be difficult. But from what I have seen ....I honestly and respectfully am not convinced they landed and came back . Don't hate me.
@Chris Manzi it's sad and it's all just killed my spirit about everything U r right on endless deception. Good times.
@caprice.t moon landing was a hoax.Just research. Van allen Belt is an impassable firmament.
@@justinamusyoka4986 What so they faked it six times and threw apollo 13 into the mix just for dramatic effect? Interesting.
Astronauts have such an amazing opportunity. If everyone had a chance to see this beauty from such a perspective, maybe we'd all have a little more humility. And maybe the world just might be a better place.
Maybe we'd have something far superior to worship than made up God's and focus on what really matters.
Truly inspiring word . "Shared understanding is what empowers us"
I truly believe that every single person on earth should get the glorious opportunity to go to space and behold planet earth at least one time in their life.
This made my day. It’s great to hear these comments of such high calibre. Hadfield is very insightful and very sentient.
Keep up the good work, people need encouragement in this crazy times! You should never be afraid to fail in life, fear is very unhealthy. People forget that to be successful you must fall a few times, its all part of the journey. Wishing everybody here a very prosperous 2020
nice
Gratitude Chris. You are amazing. I get a lot of energy.
Chris’s Calm insight and intelligence are extremely motivational I love listening to him speak
Canadian grace at its finest✌️
2020 Gave Me Covid bt i managed to keep it under the grave & i blossomed even more i will look up to this 70 years from now
LOVE💙
@@capedoctor 🙏💪 Lets Go!
Thank you ! Great speech, great wisdom, humbled person, experienced uniquely, keep smiling with lol politely & safely
Thank you Chris I have loved your documentary and your down to earth wonderings and explanations We are fortunate to have you as our representative..you are a cherished blessing to us all
Met Chris once at a pub in Hfx yrs ago....not 1 person had a clue who he was..excellent guy & gave me a glimpse into what were capable of when we stay humble & strive to learn
Might have to explain to non Canadians what HFX means lol
thats awesome! I'd have rather met him than any famous actor or sports star.
@@tylerforde87 Halifax
@@tylerforde87 HFX is Canada's version of OBX...
Did you say "your round" ?
You are an intelligent, wise and kind person Chris Hadfield.
I could listen to him for ever and ever. imagine having this man as your professor. What a privilege that would be
Thank you Col. Chris..very much from Pointe Claire, QC, Canada😊💞👍👍👏👏
The song he sang on the station "Major Tom" was fantastic, music can send a message that everyone can understand
😂 🤣 Major Tom?
what are you talking about?! Major Tom by David Bowie is about an astronaut sent into orbit alone his capsule malfunctions and he dies in space its sad and depressing - No astronaut has ever been left marooned in orbit - its the worse case failure... how is that fantastic?!
In the first 1 minute and 22 seconds of the video, what he saids, hits me straight to my heart. That really impacted me at 42. Wish I thought the same at 24.
Yeah it's all about the individual nowadays... me, me, me. I'm no different and at 29 struggle with this idolization of the self. I'm ironically sort of torn between caring deeply and not caring at all. Bottom line we're ALL individuals with personal struggles, living and coexisting on this Earth. A big rock in space
"Sometimes we see things how we feel they ought to be; we ought to see things as they are."
What a gift this man is to us all... so wise thank you!
What a good kind soul he is, at least from every video I've ever seen of him. And he's lived enough life for 5 lifetimes. I wish to be half the person he is one day. And on a side note, I could really see him being an actor, just something about him, the look, the charisma etc etc.
Definitely, I,m sure like many others out there, I would love to see a biography (movie) of his life, family, career etc etc He reminds me of Burt Lancaster.
As someone getting to interviews for jobs I know I would do well, to then not perform well in the interview and not get the jobs, my confident is rock bottom. Blaming my personality has made me feel very low. This video has helped me feel better.
You lighten the darkness in my life❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mr. Hadfield truly has love/understanding and connection to this Earth/world - he appreciates/cherishes and honors the natural wonders of the Earth; not to take anything from it but to explore and share his knowledge/understanding & experiences with all. Thank you!
Somehow it reminder me of the French author Exupery and his wonderfull story Le Petit Prince and the opening of multidimensional awareness and sensitivity and his beautifull conclusion "you can only really see with your heart "
He has been my favorite astronaut since "Ground control to major Tom..."
What this man has to say is amazing. He has shown incredible insight into the human condition; and he has shared with us his wonder at being able to look down upon our beautiful world. I wish more of us could do this. One day, perhaps.
This video makes me proud to be a fellow Canadian, and listen to this incredibly articulate man talk about his experiences in space, and share those profoundly beautiful photos with the rest of us on this planet ...
It's Amazing to hear such humble words from a man who's seen the world from the perspective of the Gods.
This individual is so rich and eloquent, his interpretation is vivid and very humbling.
I have never commented on a youtube video, but, after 40yrs of working in social service I felt that I had to comment. Thank you Col. Hadfield. This video was calming, informative and relevant. I have asked people to watch and share this video.
So well said, like no one else from the ground could. Thank you for sharing your experience. 👍
Chris Hadfield - one of the few people on earth that when he talks, I listen intently and never want to speak over him or lose interest.
I Love Taylor Swift: swift is a man and chris and taylor worship satan. FACT.
I Love Taylor Swift He really has a riveting way of speaking. Also, hello fellow swift fan:)
Motivation Hub is the best thing that has happened to KZhead. God Bless.
A few words that sum up everything that is going on in the world at the moment & the need to always be kind & considerate to others, amazing words Chris 👌
I was reading the news one day online, and saw an article/video about some astronaut talking about sleeping in space as an astronaut. Later that day, I still hadn't clicked it. Eventually, for whatever reason, I clicked it and watched the video. It was Chris Hadfield. Everything he said was amazing and right and enlightening and inspiring and just so good. Now, when I see his name, I Always click and listen.
