very good
good morning with all boys and girls
today I’m here for a
decision to take at four o’clock in the
morning
weeks ago to such a decision
simple like that
days ago also reading a book
I came across a very simple sentence to
first sight but with a great message
behind the one that comes back starts from
once to do who you are
instead of calculating who will be the
phrase made me reflect he kept me
thinking with a long time and that’s why
I decided that it was the basis of the talk
that today I have the opportunity to
share with all of you as
teenagers and children constantly
we are receiving messages that we
They make us believe that our physique is
more important truth that we are the
more handsome tall thin
we will win the liking of all not
be fooled
you are not special nor for your
height or weight or size
no longer beauty can not be measured in
a scale but by the amount of
good works that you do for you
the others but if you do not believe it
that wave of comments will make it
they drown in a sea ​​of ​​patterns and fashions
love because there is no one like you
on this planet and I tell you that no
it was something that happened to a friend and
a neighbor my friend’s friend was not
something that happened to me and they do not know everything
what I had to live to be able to
learn when I was in school and
the school was a child very much applied
responsible is already the chan with the
lounge and the black one who was always
with a book that was always
behind the professors is the year and
obviously this made my
but very high notes may already
imagine my parents were very
happy for me, very proud of me
but the only person who was not
happy with that was me when I was a child
teenager had a characteristic
It was very chubby very chubby reason
the one that many of my colleagues and
teachers had fun with me with the
popular veneers something seemingly
normal truth because who of us
do not be fun with someone
nole nicknames clear if that someone
it’s not us
over time this would make my love
own valley valued more and more
and that my self-esteem goes down that my
virtues does not mean anything to me was
so one day I said to myself I’m going to go down
I already proposed that I’m going to lose
weight
so I own the machine
do my uncle’s exercises and aim for
diets I started
They spent five months and come to it
yes yes I got what I wanted was a
different person sees me in the mirror does not
I recognized
So much so that after vacation
went to the classroom between all of me
they look like sergio are you serious and
what happened to you
I have grown well I had already achieved what
I wanted to be certain it was someone else
supposedly but I kept feeling
maybe it’s not enough
I told myself so I continued with more
diets and exercise little by little these
pieces were becoming only
Vegetable dishes taste in almost nothing
of food and at the end in vomit
brought about
I was not the same person as before
had to ask for help and I went to look for it in
the only medical center in my city
with the only person who was there
good side pass psychological consultation
and after a series of questions that
those that psychologists like
do
they gave us the news notes marina
go ahead please sit down to your son
has anorexia and bulimia
with 17 years old were the days
the most difficult months of my life my
Hair was falling willingly protruding
I became dizzy easily and Self Esteem
minimal did not smile at all and the
comments from people the only thing
What they did was make the situation worse
there came a point where in every time
I was alone in my room
I asked to survive
why do it but I never tried
take my life many times those
men of pantasma that bad idea was
with me he surrounded me I could not escape
the depressions were very strong
the problems in my family was also
a nightmare a nightmare a
horror movie in life
one night after having already
Some progress my treatment no
enter treatment
I felt ready
so I said good I’m ready no
but I got that test the test the
try a night at a family dinner
with my little bit more than I had
I’ve been eating normally in that
then serious mistake
I left my house has fired crying
down the street with tears in his eyes and
I started asking what will be of
me what am I supposed to do as
I’m going to do professional so what’s
to be from my family
how I got into this hole and how do I get out
from here to then that night I took
the most important decision of my life
and I said I’m going to overcome this episode
I’m going to do it from that black
moment started my true
recovery with the firm decision of
to be professional
that was my main motivation like that
that a few weeks or a few months later
He finally could enjoy a
quiet lunch with my family
I could feel that it was valuable again
and that nightmare was left behind
well you have to have the value of
accept us as we are there are also
have the courage and strength of
pursue our dreams our
ideals although on the road we
let’s face radical changes
I am a city san miguel of landscapes
a province of the department of
very small very small box
comparison of trujillo where I live
now arrives at trujillo in 2014 with the
objective and the vision of being professional
to study a university career
but this involved separating me from my
family
good new city
friends new challenges new a reality
totally different reality that is not
alienated many young students who
they leave their homes and go in search of
better opportunities to cities
largest in the country
surely there are some who can not
enter the university
I entered the university and they passed me
many things between them I changed from
race the week of entering and
peak I’m not in class and uncomfortable
I ask permission I leave from there took out the
cellular and called me I do not feel well
no I’m not like in this race no no
I feel that relates to nothing
what I want to do
I’m obviously sorry, my mom
It bothered me because I did not expect but
feel your unconditional support as
always good at that time I felt
as and another one of john travolta did not lose
well and now what study study suck
I had a very big question in my
head so walking around the for the
hallways of the university
in greece the elevator and I found
a teacher no idea who was not
idea so far but this teacher
from the 12th floor of the 8th floor half a
summary of all the races of
engineering
so I said good and I stayed with
two words technology and companies and
under that argument I went with all the
value of the world not having the vice chancellor
of the university because the changes
they were forbidden
I went, I confronted, I made a
exhibition of the entire career
and I managed to change my career
industrial engineering today
I understand that my career is one of the
better tools that I have to
next to my passion and will help create
companies that really impact the
world and they create social value
but of course this I did not achieve
I only had help from friends
mentor friends like me I call them those
friends that I was meeting at events
very similar to this where
that spark of motivation was awakened by
create something sounds easy truth but not
it was because at every moment there was
overcome the fear of shame and
approach them and talk to them something that
will surely feel today had to
beat my family
face my family to go to a
completely new city again without
have gotten used to the city that
I was going against the fear of traveling
just because he had never done it
just for knowing these agents of
change to these protagonists of the change
know their stories learn from them
it was so I discovered my two passions
inspiration and social entrepreneurship
guys I can assure you with all the
heart that your passion that now
that you fight for all your
heart for your dreams are not going to
find sitting know they believe
share search seek inquiry
only then will they be able to know each other and know
new things that allow you to define your
passion
one afternoon in July of this year in the
library of my university while
I was trying to solve an equation
math of cesc in engineering never
missing problems
I started to ask did not I start thinking
and I started to wonder what would
happened if I had been sick of
anorexia and bulimia
what would have happened if I had not
found these mentor friends but the
most important question of that afternoon
it happened
what’s up with those young people with my
comrades who currently live
problems similar to mine and not
they have help
imagine then a program
university student for
students where through
inspiring conferences through
very dynamic and creative workshops on
soft skills you already know leadership and
emotional intelligence creativity
teamwork effective management of
time etc. etc. etc.
but above all the collaboration
continues among cycle students
higher with students of cycles
inferiors, it is possible to solve the
problems that I once lived but
others now live only was
an idea a sketch in my notebook nothing
plus
I told you a friend is a friend of
document to other friends and together
we started a team so your coach was born
and coaching was launched with a conference
and the workshops just a month ago and
medium where guys from different
different colleges universities
different ages different cycles
they learned about their life purpose
on how to really work as a team
for this year
to finish the year we are planning
organize a mega inspiring event
where the boys who attend wake up
that spark of motivation as some
They woke me up for the
next year we will recruit young people
university students who voluntarily
want to make these mentors mentors of
the cachimbos of those who have just
they enter the university so that they
deposit their doubts about their
new career about his new life
university until his successes his
fears your failures someone who
listen and thus end the problem
That sometime
youtube also surely many
sometimes we have said but what can I
do I
that is, I have neither knowledge nor
experience or contacts and the typical
we say is that nothing
I’m too young to do it
or I’m too old to do it and to my
time has passed though surely
true but what we all have
Here are the stories stories
great ideas arise from problems that
we have lived and needs that we have
past
I want you to raise your hand here with
courage
which of you has suffered problems or
have problems or have had problems
but raise your hand all true
The whole truth is true and without
But in each of you you already receive
that idea and the potential enough to
solve that problem
that problem because they know that if not
they study guys today I do not come to
speak to you here as a lecturer
international and as an entrepreneur
famous nor as much less a businessman
influential because I’m not
I’m just your partner a
19 year old student who is not even more
intelligent that you neither more capable
that you but who did take a
decision the firm decision to live
your dreams live them a great
small but live it to be able
meet them where their stories
they turn on that starter and
where the problems become
opportunities to grow to create
good social to help other people
I want to share with you one of the
teachings that I could rescue from this
adventure that is to live your dreams
in the world there are two types of
people is a very trite phrase
they will have listened but it is very true two
types of people the viewers and the
players and the spectators are these
people who do not play because they do not
fall not hurt do not feel pain
they feel afraid they only say
they observe they remain still in their zone
of comfort
they will never lose
but neither will they ever win anything and
on the other side are the players
the players play
obviously they fall they hurt themselves they feel
pain they are going to criticize them go
to say you can not is not possible
they will feel fear fear frustration
stress will fall many times but
they have two roads secured to
failure or success or failure is very
important to learn
Let’s take away that idea that failure
it’s wrong failure is the best teacher of
life
the failure that will allow them to learn
is to allow to try again and
better or success the success that they
will allow to leave a legacy and inspire
others
the question that you should ask yourself
here is who I am who said to be
now guys can you can is
possible
dreams come true
I am fulfilling one at this moment
choose to play your life
choose to live your dreams
now thank you
