or
hello thank you very much
actually I come to share it is a
story that one does not choose him but the
life embarks you on that and this trip
I started here when I was 8 years old and I saw a
graffiti in the neighborhood in my neighborhood there
in guayaquil and the key and he said if the
challenge does not make your legs tremble
maybe it’s not big enough
for you me at that moment and I understood
eight years nine years but the point was and
I kept thinking if one thing is a challenge
another thing of challenge activity has to
make your legs tremble has to
sound absurd has to be idiocy
to do so you must go and tell your
family your girlfriend whoever they are and they tell you
that’s impossible you can not do that
is the main difference between challenge and
activity and that happened to me and I
I was in guayaquil I had returned from
study and I change quito for a subject
of work will have been about four
I change quito years and I did not feel
what I think is where it’s based
the beauty of Ecuador snowy mountains
páramos lakes lagoons a wonder
whole and I was running a
kilometer a kilometer and a half in
guayaquil route came to quito and I
I boarded and I realize that I can
run more time and more distance
basically because I was entertained and
So, with your mouth open, well
current and says what and resolves
embarking on a career that had every
one in uganda here in imbabura that
I had categories 10 20 50 and 80
kilometers then I said good yes yes
I’m running 5 kilometers 10 can
be an interesting challenge
I’m going to sign up and the man says to me
10 and 20 are full 50 and 80 if you want
and gave him give me 50 then then then
and it gives me 50 because second 50 less than
80 but it’s also ten times more what
I came running and embarked on this
I relax 15 hours running suffering the
I suffered hellishly I finish it and I stay
with a doubt if my question was whether the
people really evolved when
we face our fears and that doubt
he was hammering and hammering me and
hammering six months later I was
embarked in the Argentine Patagonia
a race of 160 km my calculation was
quite happy good if you already run up
50 this is how to do about three laps
and a yapa of days just that was my
calculation I wrote I bought the passage and I
I embarked in patagonia 58 hours
delayed may end but my doubt
the people were resolved if
evolve when faced with
our fears and when you grab
trust in this kind of thing a
late looking for important things like
the price of the concert will have gone down
but no more about dress the
kardashian or whatever I put the
most difficult race in the world does not stop
do it only for toad and to see
what happened and this overwhelms me to the desert
from the Sahara to pretend to run 240
kilometers in the hottest place in the
planet is the race considered the most
difficult in the world for nobody I told you
look no me I’m not a mail was
full time already try to share
this with my work with my family and
others and I say
but if in 29 years no Ecuadorian him
had finished I would like to be the
first and I embarked on this adventure
try to run in these nine months of
workouts five pairs of shoes
spent ends just under the
stone and I went to guayaquil to run to
noon I do not like vallenato and
I put the vallenato there to run to the
noon I warmed up water
because I had the desert not written anymore
water to cool you put more water
to hydrate with something else then not
he was drinking water he has taken water
hot and good at the end of the day I want
share them the first the first
my summary is that basically we
we have to focus on goals if today
you did not get up with something in the
head that is very clearly
identified are having the time and
that could have been the week
last and last month if they do not have something
in the head they are wasting time
if the answer is today I got to work
because I’m waiting for them to pay me
of month to pay debts are losing
time
plant in something that you have in the
try to grab
something I do not guarantee that they will
comply but I guarantee you that at
less will they give meaning to their life and
That happened with me and I was seven months
trying interned for this because
I was getting into Sahara 1,200
runners 48 countries and there was a
Ecuadorian there that I had no idea in
where I was stuck but according to me I was going to
finish the most difficult race in the
world and good and I embark see what
what happened
it’s one day
why
you can repeat it to cancel more
fast and death
just as we are in confidence
good you go and motivates you alone
an hour later
I have supported them again
in the metatarsals about the blisters
to let them rest at their heels
and so
well I ‘ll spend I think the rest of the day and
so spend the rest of the day for more than
one should consider that this starts all
whatever you want we are going to ecuador
than the perfect world that already says it in
excel and it is in power point life
real of that other thing and in an hour I
He gave a couple of slaps and they told me
new minister you are in the sahara
it’s in heat you’re at 48 degrees to 50
degrees already suffer has been said because they are
six days and you must run 240 kilometers
those were the first 40 kilometers
mine and me that night I see for the first time
a person who almost died in front of me
He is Pablo, the companion of they had to
place of 5 sera to keep it alive
he had become so dehydrated that he no longer
there were five floors back
imagine to have it alive that happened
with Pablo and what reflection I want
share them Pablo is in the same
place that I enduring the same as
that I suffer with sand like me and
I had the same bottle of water that I
they had given the same however pablo
it was more conservative and said I’m going to
use
not the amount of my resources for
continue in the race that happened at the end
Pablo stayed with the full bottle and
edge of death and that’s exactly
what can happen to us
we have a bottle of dreams
of resource capabilities
motivational intelligence support and
everyone has their own bottle carefully
Care can you pass us a model of
pretexts we spent inventing ourselves
anything as long as there would not be that
Careful bottle grabs us death
because I do not know if you have noticed but
nobody here knows when he’s going to die
Careful we get killed with the
bottle of our resources
completely filled or used very little and
that happened to Pablo you have to
take challenges not activities challenges
focus on a project and work it
as you can only do it
that’s challenges we ‘re not talking about
activities and good the next day and
good still is a sandstorm not
you can beat, not even beaten
let’s continue on this adventure and let’s go
step by step
following these running but not parents
no parents as life does not stop follows and
there we go and that there is sand parents and
that there is a lot of sun do not stop and let’s continue
walking blisters, let’s continue and
complicated I thought they were going to go out in
on day 3 they came out on day 1 but
let’s go let’s go day 2 moving these are
my feet had already healed
they had to cut my skin in both
feet with a scalpel to draw blood and
and I could not walk that night and there
I had traveled 80 kilometers
were missing 160 kilometers received 80 and
the problem is that he could not walk and
I was scared to death like life
I had a clear goal but I had already
changed the plan and it does not matter how many
Sometimes we change the plan as long as
the goal is very clear and let’s continue
advancing and good the next day I would
I meet Luis and Luis teaches me a
life lesson that was this me
complaining about the blisters that in some
They were going to take care of me but Luis
they would not leave two new arms
and that’s when you have to
think if we are really claiming
much more to life than what really
We are providing you with a claim for everything
we claim because the selection does not
classified by traffic by the government
by the company for the chemistry exam
claim
before we go claim and claim
claim and never question us if
really something we are contributing life
you know why because courage has
a unique feature if you do not use it
it’s over today
you are more cowardly or braver
yesterday depending on what they have done
yesterday today they are braver and more
cowards that a year ago depending on what
what they did last year but if the
last year they were losing the
time as a model of excuses
surely today they are more cowards than
a year ago and if you’re not brave about
Escobar 10 and you’re a coward is dead
fear and if you are afraid you will not give the
step so you will not ever do
a challenge they know why because the model
of excuse is the perfect model look
I do not do anything, I do not fail because I never
I try and I create a mom extraction and
step criticizing everything critical how
manage public policies and
what critics as a company should
do to win more critical market
as the technician had to have for the
selection criticized everything
and we know everything and a man comes and you
question hey go and since you know
it is not that this this but if not
had this fixed that I do is a
perfect model you do not do anything not
fail and you believe the killing
awesome and Luis was us
teaching at that time that careful
we are reclaiming slogans from the life of
what we are really contributing
and well last day there they see me dirty
completely because I do not go in a
week
I’m going to six kilos men 2 badly eaten dark circles
hydrated badly asleep but there
I was moving quietly because that
That day had been my worst day
life I made a brutal mistake and the
desert is implacable does not allow you
I made mistakes and I put my ration
of protein in the pocket of my ration
of alcohol to heat the water
then what happened that is the car mixed
with the protein I had a drink and I
he knew gasoline then I said you are
the sun insolation some relax over there
and I was penn leaving there five stages
more until I said no you can not stand a
I realize the error and when
you make the mistake you have to remedy it
can go back to see anywhere
but the best way is to mend the error
and I had to grab the shake and
throw it out and bounce a half jar of water
that he did not have and the food equivalent to
an hour and a half then you stay in
a yesterday that you do advances faster for
recover ahead or progress slower
to spend less energy I solved
move slower two hours later
there was a German and about 50 meters
forward collapses with broken glasses
bleeding the guy was wallowing
there blood sand like fire is the
hungry more or less I was there
unconscious without knowing what to do
trembling one dying there in the same
week twice imagine then you
and enjoy until a German arrives
grab a flare the shoot came a
helicopter who watched him there
they grab the man and they take him away
I saw more German but that day that
moment grab the backpack the boat nobody
I did not sit down to cry because this
It had been an adventure race
had actually become a game
of survival and they know what happened there
A Frenchwoman came and shook my hand
and accompanies me to walk a kilometer
to recover messages for more fucked
that we are in life there will always be a
hand that will lift us and hopefully
you have the opportunity and I of
more times in life give your hand than
receive the hand to lift and good
that happened, look at these 20 meters
final
the bacanes of my life and the most
eternal of my life
[Music]
[Music]
a year ago thanks
a few years ago guys this would have been
impossible everyone told me it was
crazy but with hard work
really focused things
extraordinary can be done and good
ramos and you feel as at that time and
you say good yes I already ran in the place more
hot from the ground good let’s try it
very cold and I embark on this relax
trying to get into Antarctica is like
you know and they already realized I’m cute
and I had not lived a winter of
true I had not passed or was not there
trodden snow had not spent a winter
really and my concept of cold was the
air conditioning as well as that man
tries to get into the coldest place in the
Earth
there is 90% of the world’s ice there
the lowest temperature has been recorded
of the history of mankind
– 89 degrees centigrade and I wanted
run there if the kilometer non-stop
without stopping more or less at least 30 degrees
madness completes the question
immediate is how are we going to do it if you
we do not believe in the cold you’re going to have to
understand the cold and we got into
try to solve it and we came up with
put us in an ice factory
and that pod
I opened at 7 in the morning and at 5 in the morning
morning I was stuck there were five of the
morning we had put a treadmill and
There is a run to accompany the
water that becomes ice and there goes
understanding the cold suffering but
understanding by understanding by understanding
I live the tanquito on the 11th floor I took the
bed the room open the windows and slept
every month without averages only in
shorts without a shirt on the
comforter and there and I got up from
early in the morning but with cold
It was raining in Quito, I went for a run
I got vitamin C flu, you recover and
so it happened for months I left in the
morning with hot water only with water
cold because I had to understand the cold
I was not going to the campus
I was going, I was going to the
Antarctica was already leaving and they know what
come on guys we are
definitely the main factory of
dreams but we are also the most
destroyer of dreams today there will be
passed in the morning they are lying down
looking at the ceiling still and you say I’ll
I want
from so much I want to do a master’s degree in
this university I want to learn that it was
applied this company wants to undertake
own business and still lying down
looking at the ceiling we start not to pieces
chiquitos does not forgive an English no but
I am Chinese no forgiveness says that I relax and
well we spent creating dreams by killing
dreams creating dreams killing dreams that
he can grab us the whole life I insist
as we do not know when we are going to die
Care we die without doing anything
because the problem is not to die
problem is that death comes to us without
have done nothing actually grab that
project they have in mind and they are
juggling and means to
disrupt the seize try it what
do I was there look at the club
there I was in Antarctica minus eight
degrees and final concentrate because
I was just going to open that door
run 100 kilometers in a row because
because there was no way to stop it
indicated 2
there was no way to stop because there I
I played co
I had to run twice and stop
twice one from the shoe another by the
heel and ya but I kept running 16
works delayed me this is a magical place
imagine in there six months six days
awesome night months the body already
I stayed there for four days in the third
day you start at home you eat six thousand
calories per day six thousand that days
per day not to lose weight
the madness that in signings like 15
treated images and for per day per day
per day to lose weight no images
the amount of cold there is already there
as they realize there is not now so no
so that you see all the tastes the
goodbye arrive at that point then here
the truth the sydney the one of colombia the one of
Argentina of those who are the import
because time does not pass is
impressive us as Ecuadorians
we understand that the sun rises in the east and
end here there appeared here look at those
photos at one thirty in the morning
we wanted it like that four days running
I was crazy about 16 hours I went down 6
kilos of weight for women eye this
it is a wonderful diet me in 16 hours
partridges kilos you can take no
self in the morning they run a cdp in the
late immediate results already here in
the most discriminated people actually
it’s 16 hours running minus 30 degrees and
Well, I finish this race and
fortunately he managed to get me or the
become the first Ecuadorian in
just this and 2 and get into a group
of 14 people in the world that we have
been able to run more than 100
kilometers in the hottest place and
coldest on earth how can you
do this with planning once you
they have the challenge sit down to plan
I have to do this this this this and
this
cool you have a big challenge but
If you do not move a finger, nothing will happen
approach and then plan and well clear
as already the head starts to move if
already runs this in the hottest egg
in the coldest, what do you think about doing this?
you can play this
it is difficult for people to understand
what motivates me
who would dare to run 240 km
for a week at 50 degrees in the
hottest place on the planet
the sahara desert
or run 100 km in the coldest with
temperatures that reach up to minus 30
degrees in the antarte
as human beings we seek to discover
what is it that stops us in life
and my motivation comes from understanding which
are my limits and decide what to do with
them to achieve new goals and
evolve as a person
with discipline perseverance and
determination is resolved by embarking on
the challenge of connecting the most points
ends on the planet
and for this to descend is about 4000
meters in the deepest place of the
Earth
in south africa
and from there I will run to the surface
or the 22 hours to my land 4
to face the rise of the volcano
chimborazo and its six thousand 268 meters
and point the earth closest to the sun
and all this with the hope of
become the first athlete
Ecuadorian who makes a new record
guinness
and my technical team will accompany me
all the way to make sure
that my body is in the capacity of
resist the extreme changes of
temperature and physical demands in each
place
many things can go wrong
I dehydrate in the mine
how my body and mind reacted to
the extreme experience subjects
I could do it
and they create good and it’s over me
time and the truth that I can not
tell them what happened
I not seriously then actually wanted
thank you because the truth that I know
the time finished but quickly
summarizing them and we got into a greater
he had to train
We were suffering there and I fainted 15
minutes the first time because imagine
40 gr of temperature to 80 percent of
RH
this is the mine two and a half hours
running at 4,000 meters that they
remember that the Chileans who remained
caught and the 2010 all and them
they were at 700 meters we had
that go down almost six times over 4.200
four thousand-odd meters a madness
eternal heat there is no air circulation
there are rats down super complicated but what
we get
we got the guinness record in the middle
faster marathon on the site more
deep on the planet that took us
immediately to the chimborazo we were
in the type of case to try to do
the new approach that was dead like that
that all my trust completely in
my team in my work team I had
bronchitis complicated the subject
respiratory I could not breathe it was
they had covered the bronchi were more
complicated imagine in climbing
Can breathe
when we arrived at the camp the cross
red said they should suspend this so no
there is another way we already evaluate it with
our team and we review what they are
the possibilities which we did not do a
prayer to god we did a prayer in the
mountain and we raise this to 6 thousand 50
meters I resolved not to continue because
I was broken and I had lost a lot
of the weight in memory and everything was very
very exhausted he is esteban mena
proudly Ecuadorian and it is the
younger person on earth that has
crowned the everest without oxygen he
he did when he was 19 years old today he has 27 and
esteban told me look it is clear to me that
physically you’re in the shit but
I want to see I want to see if
psychologically
you are aware that in 40 more minutes
we will be at the top and when he told me 40
minutes I spent all the effort that
we had done all that year and you know that
The only thing I managed to answer is if
there are 40 minutes left so we go and
we actually reached the summit of 50
6,280 meters and 71 hours ago
we had been in the deepest place
from the earth
thank you very much guys I only
I want to show you that things
extraordinary if they can be done and
you are at a wonderful age
to consider eating the world but they’re going
to have to work and work a lot
because these things are not free just
I want to leave you a final question
more everyone here we have limits and before
those limits there are two options the first
we accustom our lives to those
limits and it’s not going to happen much we’re going
to have a life of activities and not of
challenges and the second one we understand that
our life is ephemeral that we do not know
when it’s going to end and it’s better
that we start to live it and live it
means that we take challenges that is that
they are exactly in your head now
same and at the end of the day each
decide what to do with your limits
thank you very much for listening to me
[Applause]
hello thank you very much
actually I come to share it is a
story that one does not choose him but the
life embarks you on that and this trip

and we know everything and a man comes and you
question hey go and since you know
it is not that this this but if not
had this fixed that I do is a
perfect model you do not do anything not
fail and you believe the killing
awesome and Luis was us
teaching at that time that careful
we are reclaiming slogans from the life of
what we are really contributing
and well last day there they see me dirty
completely because I do not go in a
week
I’m going to six kilos men 2 badly eaten dark circles
hydrated badly asleep but there
I was moving quietly because that
That day had been my worst day
life I made a brutal mistake and the
desert is implacable does not allow you
I made mistakes and I put my ration
of protein in the pocket of my ration
of alcohol to heat the water
then what happened that is the car mixed
with the protein I had a drink and I
he knew gasoline then I said you are
the sun insolation some relax over there
and I was penn leaving there five stages
more until I said no you can not stand a
I realize the error and when
you make the mistake you have to remedy it
can go back to see anywhere
but the best way is to mend the error
and I had to grab the shake and
throw it out and bounce a half jar of water
that he did not have and the food equivalent to
an hour and a half then you stay in
a yesterday that you do advances faster for
recover ahead or progress slower
to spend less energy I solved
move slower two hours later
there was a German and about 50 meters
forward collapses with broken glasses
bleeding the guy was wallowing
there blood sand like fire is the
hungry more or less I was there
unconscious without knowing what to do
trembling one dying there in the same
week twice imagine then you
and enjoy until a German arrives
grab a flare the shoot came a
helicopter who watched him there
they grab the man and they take him away
I saw more German but that day that
moment grab the backpack the boat nobody
I did not sit down to cry because this
It had been an adventure race
had actually become a game
of survival and they know what happened there
A Frenchwoman came and shook my hand
and accompanies me to walk a kilometer
to recover messages for more fucked
that we are in life there will always be a
hand that will lift us and hopefully
you have the opportunity and I of
more times in life give your hand than
receive the hand to lift and good
that happened, look at these 20 meters
final
the bacanes of my life and the most
eternal of my life
[Music]
[Music]
a year ago thanks
a few years ago guys this would have been
impossible everyone told me it was
crazy but with hard work
really focused things
extraordinary can be done and good
ramos and you feel as at that time and
you say good yes I already ran in the place more
hot from the ground good let’s try it
very cold and I embark on this relax
trying to get into Antarctica is like
you know and they already realized I’m cute
and I had not lived a winter of
true I had not passed or was not there
trodden snow had not spent a winter
really and my concept of cold was the
air conditioning as well as that man
tries to get into the coldest place in the
Earth
there is 90% of the world’s ice there
the lowest temperature has been recorded
of the history of mankind
– 89 degrees centigrade and I wanted
run there if the kilometer non-stop
without stopping more or less at least 30 degrees
madness completes the question
immediate is how are we going to do it if you
we do not believe in the cold you’re going to have to
understand the cold and we got into
try to solve it and we came up with
put us in an ice factory
and that pod
I opened at 7 in the morning and at 5 in the morning
morning I was stuck there were five of the
morning we had put a treadmill and
There is a run to accompany the
water that becomes ice and there goes
understanding the cold suffering but
understanding by understanding by understanding
I live the tanquito on the 11th floor I took the
bed the room open the windows and slept
every month without averages only in
shorts without a shirt on the
comforter and there and I got up from
early in the morning but with cold
It was raining in Quito, I went for a run
I got vitamin C flu, you recover and
so it happened for months I left in the
morning with hot water only with water
cold because I had to understand the cold
I was not going to the campus
I was going, I was going to the
Antarctica was already leaving and they know what
come on guys we are
definitely the main factory of
dreams but we are also the most
destroyer of dreams today there will be
passed in the morning they are lying down
looking at the ceiling still and you say I’ll
I want
from so much I want to do a master’s degree in
this university I want to learn that it was
applied this company wants to undertake
own business and still lying down
looking at the ceiling we start not to pieces
chiquitos does not forgive an English no but
I am Chinese no forgiveness says that I relax and
well we spent creating dreams by killing
dreams creating dreams killing dreams that
he can grab us the whole life I insist
as we do not know when we are going to die
Care we die without doing anything
because the problem is not to die
problem is that death comes to us without
have done nothing actually grab that
project they have in mind and they are
juggling and means to
disrupt the seize try it what
do I was there look at the club
there I was in Antarctica minus eight
degrees and final concentrate because
I was just going to open that door
run 100 kilometers in a row because
because there was no way to stop it
indicated 2
there was no way to stop because there I
I played co
I had to run twice and stop
twice one from the shoe another by the
heel and ya but I kept running 16
works delayed me this is a magical place
imagine in there six months six days
awesome night months the body already
I stayed there for four days in the third
day you start at home you eat six thousand
calories per day six thousand that days
per day not to lose weight
the madness that in signings like 15
treated images and for per day per day
per day to lose weight no images
the amount of cold there is already there
as they realize there is not now so no
so that you see all the tastes the
goodbye arrive at that point then here
the truth the sydney the one of colombia the one of
Argentina of those who are the import
because time does not pass is
impressive us as Ecuadorians
we understand that the sun rises in the east and
end here there appeared here look at those
photos at one thirty in the morning
we wanted it like that four days running
I was crazy about 16 hours I went down 6
kilos of weight for women eye this
it is a wonderful diet me in 16 hours
partridges kilos you can take no
self in the morning they run a cdp in the
late immediate results already here in
the most discriminated people actually
it’s 16 hours running minus 30 degrees and
Well, I finish this race and
fortunately he managed to get me or the
become the first Ecuadorian in
just this and 2 and get into a group
of 14 people in the world that we have
been able to run more than 100
kilometers in the hottest place and
coldest on earth how can you
do this with planning once you
they have the challenge sit down to plan
I have to do this this this this and
this
cool you have a big challenge but
If you do not move a finger, nothing will happen
approach and then plan and well clear
as already the head starts to move if
already runs this in the hottest egg
in the coldest, what do you think about doing this?
you can play this
it is difficult for people to understand
what motivates me
who would dare to run 240 km
for a week at 50 degrees in the
hottest place on the planet
the sahara desert
or run 100 km in the coldest with
temperatures that reach up to minus 30
degrees in the antarte
as human beings we seek to discover
what is it that stops us in life
and my motivation comes from understanding which
are my limits and decide what to do with
them to achieve new goals and
evolve as a person
with discipline perseverance and
determination is resolved by embarking on
the challenge of connecting the most points
ends on the planet
and for this to descend is about 4000
meters in the deepest place of the
Earth
in south africa
and from there I will run to the surface
or the 22 hours to my land 4
to face the rise of the volcano
chimborazo and its six thousand 268 meters
and point the earth closest to the sun
and all this with the hope of
become the first athlete
Ecuadorian who makes a new record
guinness
and my technical team will accompany me
all the way to make sure
that my body is in the capacity of
resist the extreme changes of
temperature and physical demands in each
place
many things can go wrong
I dehydrate in the mine
how my body and mind reacted to
the extreme experience subjects
I could do it
and they create good and it’s over me
time and the truth that I can not
tell them what happened
I not seriously then actually wanted
thank you because the truth that I know
the time finished but quickly
summarizing them and we got into a greater
he had to train
We were suffering there and I fainted 15
minutes the first time because imagine
40 gr of temperature to 80 percent of
RH
this is the mine two and a half hours
running at 4,000 meters that they
remember that the Chileans who remained
caught and the 2010 all and them
they were at 700 meters we had
that go down almost six times over 4.200
four thousand-odd meters a madness
eternal heat there is no air circulation
there are rats down super complicated but what
we get
we got the guinness record in the middle
faster marathon on the site more
deep on the planet that took us
immediately to the chimborazo we were
in the type of case to try to do
the new approach that was dead like that
that all my trust completely in
my team in my work team I had
bronchitis complicated the subject
respiratory I could not breathe it was
they had covered the bronchi were more
complicated imagine in climbing
Can breathe
when we arrived at the camp the cross
red said they should suspend this so no
there is another way we already evaluate it with
our team and we review what they are
the possibilities which we did not do a
prayer to god we did a prayer in the
mountain and we raise this to 6 thousand 50
meters I resolved not to continue because
I was broken and I had lost a lot
of the weight in memory and everything was very
very exhausted he is esteban mena
proudly Ecuadorian and it is the
younger person on earth that has
crowned the everest without oxygen he
he did when he was 19 years old today he has 27 and
esteban told me look it is clear to me that
physically you’re in the shit but
I want to see I want to see if
psychologically
you are aware that in 40 more minutes
we will be at the top and when he told me 40
minutes I spent all the effort that
we had done all that year and you know that
The only thing I managed to answer is if
there are 40 minutes left so we go and
we actually reached the summit of 50
6,280 meters and 71 hours ago
we had been in the deepest place
from the earth
thank you very much guys I only
I want to show you that things
extraordinary if they can be done and
you are at a wonderful age
to consider eating the world but they’re going
to have to work and work a lot
because these things are not free just
I want to leave you a final question
more everyone here we have limits and before
those limits there are two options the first
we accustom our lives to those
limits and it’s not going to happen much we’re going
to have a life of activities and not of
challenges and the second one we understand that
our life is ephemeral that we do not know
when it’s going to end and it’s better
that we start to live it and live it
means that we take challenges that is that
they are exactly in your head now
same and at the end of the day each
decide what to do with your limits
thank you very much for listening to me
[Applause]
