Tony Robbins asks why we do what we do

The best 20 minutes you will have spent this month. WATCH!




Life coach; expert in leadership psychology

Tony Robbins makes it his business to know why we do the things we do. The pioneering life coach has spoken to millions of people through his best-selling books and three-day seminars.

Why you should listen to him:


Tony Robbins might have one of the world's most famous smiles; his beaming confidence has helped sell his best-selling line of self-help books, and fill even his 10,000-seat seminars. What's less known about the iconic motivational speaker is the range and stature of his personal clients. From CEOs to heads of state to Olympic athletes, a wide swath of high-performing professionals (who are already plenty motivated, thank you very much) look to him for help reaching their full potential.


Robbins' expertise in leadership psychology is what brought him to TED, where his spontaneous on-stage interaction with Al Gore created an unforgettable TED moment. It also perfectly demonstrated Robbins' direct -- even confrontational -- approach, which calls on his listeners to look within themselves, and find the inner blocks that prevent them from finding fulfillment and success. Some of his techniques -- firewalking, for example -- are magnets for criticism, but his underlying message is unassailable: We all have the ability to make a positive impact on the world, and it's up to us, as individuals, to overcome our fears and foibles to reach that potential.


Robbins has won many accolades for his work -- including his memorable performance in the Jack Black comedy Shallow Hal. (It was a small but vital role.) His Anthony Robbins Foundation works with the homeless, elderly and inner-city youth, and feeds more than 2 million people annually through its International Basket Brigade.

This guy, MIKE is not Khmer from Lowell as he claimed.
He must be Yourn.

He said that "Sam Raing Sy's assessment of 4-5 million of illegal Yourn immigrant in Cambodia was just a propaganda to make Hun Sen looks bad, if there are 1 to 3 ratio of Khmer/ Yourn, you could have seen them every where among Khmer in Cambodia"

Facts:
-There were at least 12 Yourns killed in the Koh Pich incident.
-12 houses of the 60 burnt by the fire in Chrang Cham ress last week were Yourns.
-99 per cents of people in Phsar chass are Yourns
- In Ton Leh Sab stretching to Kpg Chnang full of Yourns.
- Chbar am Pov, Neak Leurng, Kpg Cham Bor veth are full of Yourns.
- A Yourn woman in the US went to Cambodia and came back proudly shown the pictures of Yourn villages in Cambodia to her co-workers.

-In MIKE house are full of Yourns.

MIKE IS BLIND LIKE HUN SEN OR HIDING THE FACTS

Re: mike or 12:42pm-
1-you said:Sam Rainsy could not write good English-not true- He has Master degree in Business Administration-
not the fake degree like those of your beloved leaders. Mr. Rainsy is very very educated.
2- You said Sam Rainsy preaches wrong information-not true-Mr. Sam Rainsy is truly what he and his party is-integrity, honesty, and justice. He does not have tons of property and mistresses like your beloved boss do.
3- You said- Hun Sen's Government is better than previous ones back 400 years- now tractor are used to do earth work- not true- You can't compare the economy then with that now. The appearance of the tractor is the result of the world economy trend. Without Hun Sen you can still see tractor. Cambodia itself now cannot even know how to make matches or lighter.
You said- 100% of people now ride motorcycles or cars to work in the farm- not true- not even to work in office. No one in my village now has car. Approx. one out of ten in that village has motorcycle. Most are poor and landless.
Cambodia government is still a beggar. Money by billion $ are given to Cambodian government. This money is from sweat of people oversea-not from the sky- including that of mine- shame on beggar.
4- You said- Sihanouk said- Hun Sen is a hero.Not true The two dislike each other so much- they pretend to like each other- you go back to the past and check how the tow said to each other. Ranaridh compared hi father to the Poh Tree-
Hun Sen said he wanted to chop down the Poh tree to be used as firewood.
5- Sam Rainsy is not the boss but he is the nationalist hero, therefore people respect him.
6- He is not Chinese. Regardless of what race you are, provided that your are Khmer nationalist hero, you deserve respect from all Khmer people.
6- Mr. Sam Rainsy is very capable, but no one has magic power- he is a human being - he is one person. If all people think like you do, there is no way that he can be a leader.
7- You said Sam Rainsy did not go against Pol Pot by calling UN.
I said: Why could not CPP do that instead of seeking help from Vietnam and owing them gratitude. Mr. Sam Rainsy did not petition for Pol Pot regime, but CPP did.

According to what you said and what you believe, you are a brain-washed type of person lacking of a lot of information. Like previous person said your English grammar is horrible, but I do not blame you on your grammar, you do what you can- however, your political belief is dangerous for your country unless you are not Khmer .

All I can say is, Sam Rainsy is a leader but a coward one.

Khmer Democrat,

Thank you very much for bringing Tony Robbins speech in the attached video clip.
In 2006 I was involved in the International basket Brigade with my family: a daughter, 2 sons and a sister. We donated our full day service to help packaging up 2 million X-mas hampers at a huge DHL warehouse.
I was at a low point in my life and felt very good after I had done the program.

I wish Hun Sen, the CPP and their dogs could get something out of what Tony Robbins said. But I know this is just my wishful thinking.

Yeay Tep
