3 reasons why we should share our stories with the world | Praveen Wadalkar | TEDxKhulnaUniversity


why you should share a story with this
one what is around it world is busy why
did the scoop of share these stories
with the world let me tell you three
reasons why we should share stories with
the world and as a storyteller let me
use three stories to tell these three
reasons studio and my dad he joined
Indian army alone when he was just 18
years old and the only reason he joined
Indian army because he could not cross
with a third standard in his education
because of poverty but still he saw
Indian Army almost for 20 years and
fought three wars but when he got
retired his heart was full of pride but
not the bank balance and that time
education prior to a very high so he
decided to join a job now if we have
first standard Pass Indian soldier the
best you can get in the industry may be
the security guard peon not better than
nothing better than that so I decided to
become a security guard
so from 7:00 in the morning till 2 p.m.
used to do that job and life was okay
when after few days my brother when he
entered in education in graduation even
I was bringing up and they said this you
know this money is not enough to for our
education so he decided with the
rickshaw driver the morning he was doing
that Bob and the evening he was driving
the richer and I still remember on 3
p.m. used to go and used to come back
around 10:00 10:30 and every day my mom
used to sit behind that window that
booth old black rusted I didn’t window
and she’s too sick like this fittings
for my dad and you would company come so
if you’re finding a romantic absolutely
not romantic the only reason why she
used to wake like this because the
earning of that day used to decide
whether even half me three times
tomorrow or two times but then I
compromise in education
we another we completed education and if
you have these kind of families I drop
the only expectation from the family is
bring financial stability to this family
uh together furthering financial
stability and that is job job gives
financial stability you get salary every
month that is stability and we didn’t
disappoint them me and my wife we
started our professional journey in 2001
and within ten years we grew and we have
climbed the corporate ladder very
effectively within ten years we were
doing very well our senior marketing
manager is a multinational company she
was a senior manager in some Indian
company and life was cool how did this
happen one night it was Sunday night if
you were watching TV and I was working
remote was in my hand and she was saying
next next and suddenly she said wait
wait Ronnie we should watch this movie
Roxy the both are not seeing this movie
is a very simple movie where a storm and
man can build business and for the first
time in my life I was greeted by a book
called entrepreneurship I looked at her
and said can we build business and then
we decided to quit your job and start
business now what if you have this kind
of family later on the first thing we
have to do is to convinced and so I
remember me and my wife going to my dad
mom dad Bob we want to start business
silence
[Music]
how do you reply to these kinds of
silence and like that said come dear you
know from where we have time you know
how much effort we have taken you to
reach where you have reached now and the
same story from my wife said officer he
said now that you have financial right
now neither you guys have done MBA so no
financial background no education I
cannot no one in your generation did
business before both of you what did you
feel
what if I fail and I know that I said
dad if I fail I will try again I will
try again and never never ever in my
life thought that’s these four words
will change my perspective to look like
I will try again Rick we started
business we started with and within one
year we failed
failure in the gentlemen really doesn’t
mean just you lose your PF amount or
your money we started selling a small
small things like trade refrigerator a
washing machine you must manage the
salary of those three to four people
could I have more than hundred people
those days would be three to four people
in my company
it was difficult one day my wife came to
me and she said Rami we have very
important meeting coming on we will go I
said yes of course I will go but I said
I have a problem
she said what problems for me I said I
told everyone 20 rupees in my pocket to
buy the ticket of the virtual firm at
home I reached for my open the door I
saw my son sitting there six years old
playing with some plastic toys I started
searching for the twenty rupees in the
hall first I didn’t get it then I did
any money kitchen I started searching
for the twenty rupees in kitchen first I
didn’t get then I entered the bedroom
and today I also could come to
and enter the bedroom you will see the
small piggy bank of my six-year-old son
that day without making any noise I
slightly closed the door of the bedroom
from inside and I robbed this big man
for that graduation when I was going
back from the main door my son said dad
I thought you and I thought he caught me
red-handed but that day I was walking
off the road that was the heaviest walk
I’ve ever taken in my life because of
the weight of this coins in my pocket in
the evening when I was sitting with my
wife I said honey means failure we
messed up everything imagine those days
flying staying in my stars we failed and
she said Praveena
do you remember when dad said what will
you do if you pain and what did you say
I said yes I remember those four words
I will try again and then we decided to
try again that time I understood the
importance of these four words because
even after that we failed many times but
today very where we are in our life you
judge because we understood the meaning
of these four words I will try again was
ladies and gentlemen the problem is not
when you fail the problem is when you
when again in again because there is no
game in this world where you do in if
you’re failing it means you are playing
the game if you are not failing if
someone’s sitting here not filled since
many years it means that person don’t
even have dies in the hands he is not
playing the game the only way you like
this stretch yourself so much do
something which is beyond your capacity
so you fail and then just say these four
words I will try again
now I’m telling the story in the morning
when I came when whenever we see someone
we make a snap judgments you people
through that snap judgment like you
people don’t like
now can I ask you a question now
after listening this story show you how
to do like me as a person this is the
number one reason why I should share
your story because when you share your
story stories can change the way we
would look towards you it can change the
world the way the would look towards you
and the number one reason why should
share the story with the world well give
you a second reason why should share a
story with the world and for that let me
take you to the mountain how many of the
offensive great place not the best place
on this planet
go on Mountain I love mountain so I
decided to join a course called
emollient mountaineering Institute one
of the toughest course in India and
people some people say the toughest in
the on the planet is back of 65 people
and I still remember the day one of
Himalayan mountain Institute is
endogenous and 65 people who are
standing in ten groves and the white
instructors and in front of us and many
of these instructors were arrested those
who have done average and the one
instructor said both we serve all sports
this is where your training with job
with Ronnie
no you have to run fight and we came
from running then he said now you have
to do yoga there’s a difference between
yoga and stretching and twisting your
body and you are stretching and twisting
our body and almost for one are we did
yoga and then he said now go to your
room take a rest
take break pass and come back in ten
minutes it all this in attitude in room
and the first time I met a guy’s name
was
Vignesh is from manual and we exchanged
names Western views acted few stories to
let you become good friends and again we
came back and they took us for rock
climbing
so they taught us how to climb on top of
the wall to go down first
I have learned us several ways of wake
up and coming down from Arras and we did
this horse for 10 days every day saying
started with running yoga rock climbing

us theory of mountain what is the height
of every is how many Mountain evening by
evening we are mentally and physically
tired exhausted almost 10 days same
thing not even a comma change and after

this is what is to walk of the mountains
when we reach place called buck him this
is the place around 20,000 feet and this
was the only guest house available there
to stay overnight and so on 3 a.m. in
the morning you are all sleeping we were
so tired we just pushed ourselves in the
flipping bag close the chain we’re all
sleeping and suddenly around 3 a.m. in
the morning the whole guest stop started
shaking and one guy stood he’s a drunk
drunk driver this earthquake run and we
didn’t for jobs to be beside me you open
the chain and he said even if I die it
full-time and then it slip in the mall
we came to know why there’s a big hole
in this guest house and then we reached
Chavo Rica the first step we reach there
I saw heaven I don’t know whether you
can see stars from there or not on the
screen we’re having a moment first time
I’ve seen the star from there I said wow
if you see a star fall from this level
from ground sea level you see a star or
like this but from this level you select
this it actually falls in front of you I
was so happy if we should be surprised
that wow this is the place we’ll be able
to spend 10 days but in the mornings I
saw something else

more excited instructor Kane can you see

started the walk and we reached glacier

way through the back I sat down on the
bad he sat down on the bed and I removed
my shoes and get a move that he should
have any was removing issue that’s very
bit different maybe there’s something
wrong with your foot it’s completely
swollen and when he was removing the
shoes he said yes when I’m removing my
shoes not painting a lot and I could see
tears in his eyes today wait don’t even
think to do anything else now in this
course otherwise you will lose your foot
he said yes it’s paining a lot it’s not
variable next day in the morning we have
to go for the post now this is not your
system you can see how everyone is tired
now there’s one community that you might
you have to go or morning assembly
because alive we’ve got that absolutely
okay if you have alive you don’t have to
go there for my attachment situation you
are even Jignesh was there and
instructor said congratulations your
training is over that we have decided
your grace it actually might be always
want a great because if you get a grade
you become eligible for advance and then
Everest and this we were happy that
raised I decided Wow and then he said
but some tests are pending and today
your first test running tests and also
you can’t run now but they said
something very interesting which really
pleased me is that it’s ok if you don’t
want to participate in this test those
who want to participating and just stay
aside those who want to participate they
can start dissipate in the running and I
was feeling happy both English that
witness can just relax it was he was not
in condition to run and then I comfy i I
participated I came down at finish
finish my run and I was sitting down
there regaining my breath looking other
people coming towards the finishing life
and then I spoke English he was not at
all running but he was running limping
like this
towards the finishing line what’s wrong
with you are you crazy I allowed him to
cross the line I want him to sit down I
gave him water I allowed him to take his
breath under control and asked him to
hide why you ran today is it Praveen I
will not get this opportunity again what
opportunity you’re talking about
you can run five kilometres
any day maybe after a few days you can
run 500 metres once you are back to your
Randall you can run by filter there
what’s opportunity are talking about
this is not the opportunity of nothing
about reminiscence he said opportunity
where your heart your body your soul
maybe your friends your pleas to any
structures or work say that you can’t do
it and then you say to yourself no I
it’s a preventative I know the last time
we got that up was easy no he said I
if you stretch yourself in your life you
will be finding this kind of fortunate
is that your heart your body your soul
you please your friends your family your
spouse or your kids tomorrow you’ll say
you can’t do it but that is the time to
say to show the world that you can now
the second reason why you should share
stories this because when I started
sharing the story with the world it has
changed the way I look towards the world
now when I see someone struggling in
life I say wow congratulations
struggle for you are fortunate that we
have got this up watching it – the
struggle prove yourself so number one
reason you can change the way we look
towards you number two reason can change
the way you look towards the world the
third reason why should share story with
the world because whenever you are
sharing the story on the stage
you never know there is someone sitting
in the crowd who wanted that story more
than oxygen share your story only for
that one point thank you you
