Helping a friend move is good for you

Morning everyone! Today I'm with my good friend Luis. I'm gonna help him move from this apartment to the house that we just bought. This is a good opportunity to talk about something important, friendship. Okay, let's get back to work. Look at these turquoises and this is nothing. First thing about friendship and moving, expectations. You do need to set expectations. What time can you come? What can you do? How long can you stay? This is something that the person who's asking for a favor, in this case Luis is asking me to come, set the expectations very clearly. At the same time I do not have any expectations of any kind of reward. This is a kind of selfless attitude that I think is very important in friendship. You do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you're gonna get money or a pizza. Another point that is important in friendship and when moving is being honest. So you have to be honest with yourself about what you can and you cannot do. So if you're a strong man, ideally you should do the heavy lifting. But if you're not that strong, do not break your back. There are many things you can do. And this is the main point, being altruistic. There are studies, researches, that show us that doing things for the sake of others, it's a good thing. It's actually beneficial for your own self, for your own body. It seems it can cure depression, anxiety and why? Personally I think it's because you feel accomplished. You give without asking in return. The main thing when it comes to friendship, at least for me, is that you are happy for your friends. You are not jealous. Let's take this moving as an example. Louis just got a nice house. I'm happy for him. Sincerely happy. On the other side, me and my wife are still looking for a house. Should I be jealous? Absolutely not. Almost done for the moment. I think we're gonna go to the new place and unload and see how it goes. We're in the new house. Time to unload and finish the job. It's time to go. It's been a great day. Marco. How was it, Louis? Thanks so much. My pleasure, my friend. Your payments. See, told you. No expectations and you get the good stuff. Brazilian coffee. Thanks so much. Thanks a lot. We'll see you, I don't know, we can have a Brazilian barbecue. Yeah. One of these days. Of course. Fantastic. Thanks so much. Okay, take care.
