so everyone so for the better part of
the last decade I’ve been known as a
filmmaker and photographer my work spans
different domains
performance wedding photography and I
a few euros extra meals who was its
acidity to them and then I switch deals
again and in publishing I set up
international video and 32 teams from
America Online my question Tony good job
and following that I decided to settle
for my own and becoming independent
filmmaker and photographer and wonder
last year I set up a city that for
emerging artists to summon planning or
thesis flight mentorship and also for
anyone who engaged in the artistry
practice regardless of discipline or
regardless excuse in the company
now this has been an incredible and
multifaceted journey there were moments
of amazing reputation and also periods
of freedom and the only reason I’ve been
imaged to get to office is in my
unshakeable belief in the king I really
believe this this is the form of my
favorite office a human being should be
able to change the diaper put your own
specialization is many things now most
of us don’t acknowledge our true
potential I knew inside very excited
dude you know we all have skills in the
davines dreams hopes desires and it’s up
we have society so it becomes important
for us to be able to know I think we
spend too much of time thinking about
you know a lot of times people talk
about a midlife crisis and I know and
people think you know it’s a time where
you’re really confused and you don’t
know what you have to do and all that
but really anytime in life it’s an
opportunity it’s an opportunity for us
to unravel ourselves to unwind to rule
relook at what we understand to sort of
let go of the life that we always
thought we were supposed to live and
start thinking about the life that we
want to live to let go of these ideas
and notions of who we are meant to be or
who we have we have been told that you
one should be and start really embracing
and discovering who we are so personally
I find the idea of settling for doing
one thing for the rest of my life very
uncertain I mean if I were to tell
anyone that this is going to be your
specific life for the next five years
morning and afternoon evening and they
are how boring in the predictable life
right so I think in order to be able to
push to in order to be able to really
discover more within ourselves there are
few private principles that I want to
share here today and I have a fairly
lengthy presentation so there’s a lot of
content and I hope you find it useful
because these are ideas and notions and
principles that have helped me in this
journey so far and they continue
starting with this which is echoed by
Einstein but you know you can really
live like everything’s a miracle or not
and it embodies something that I feel is
one of the most magical virtues that we
have as human beings which is the sense
of one I think we don’t spend enough
time thinking about one and you know
have you ever seen children played you
know they are exciting the full of
curiosity they’re full of the immerse
completely wonder they can sort of
relook at the familiar things and still
find something new they’re never born
you know they listen to songs and repeat
for months on end the same TV shows with
the same bedtime stories over and over
again but they always find something new
and you know we’re all born with this
quality wonder exists in all of us but
somehow we let it be rolled over and
then when we are not able to hold on to
it we try to live it through our
children but I think it’s so important
for us to be able to nurture wonder
because through wonder we are able to
define how
one day leads us to curiosity it allows
us to be playful to be curious
experience of a child you know my
children are fearless they’re fearless
because they’re too busy observing and
absorbing the experiences that they
don’t have time they don’t have time for
oh my god what’s gonna happen we just go
and do it and I think that also of
course goes into mindfulness and even
the present but I think that’s so
important for us to be able to do and
when you start doing this period of time
you will realize that you know we could
either be a victim of the world outside
us and we’d but it’s not really the word
of siteís that it finds us it’s how we
choose to see it it’s what we choose to
see it’s how we choose to perceive the
experiences and stimuli that we absorb
and process that that really makes this
movie are we are able to derive joy in
small things and when he was facing for
example of that the place where I live
there’s a live in a penthouse in this
balcony and there’s two trees which are
connected with telephone wires and every
morning there’s a bunch of squirrels
across from the
or every day or every other day I derive
so much joy in this
it doesn’t help mean anything but it
really makes me human it makes me happy
because we joined from there I am able
to then create from bliss once you are
able to sort of get into and really
commit to living a life of wonder you
will notice that the familiar around you
is no longer familiar everything is
magical you’re able to really really
look at all the ideas you’re able to
look at concepts and let your
imagination run wild the ideas will come
to an abundant sense at the end of the
day that is what is at the crux of a
creative life so this is another quote
that I’d like to share
creativity is allowing yourself to make
mistakes per hour knowing which ones to
do when you live a creative life one of
the main things that all creators face
on a daily basis is so let’s talk about
fear is the enemy of feeling of course
and let’s get into what you’ll be afraid
of before you suffer jump into your own
creation so here’s what most people
think so you’re afraid that you don’t
have any Talent you’re afraid that
whatever you put out is going to be
ridiculed ignored evil you’re afraid
there’s no market for it so it doesn’t
have a place
why what they’re doing is you’re afraid
you’re too young you don’t have enough
experience you’re afraid you’re too old
oh my god are you going to change your
life you’re afraid that your parents
would approve
you’re afraid of the friends making
money because now as the risk of
sounding a little morbid let me give you
a little bit of perspective on a loan I
mean on a long enough time like none of
this matters and I’ll tell you why we
are all going to die it’s a back
everyone we know is going to die every
single person that we know who cherishes
us is going to tarnish every idea we put
out every thing that we create every
invention every artistic creation is
going to be superseded by others in the
long enough timeline in the infinite
dimension of the universe most likely we
are all going to be forgotten
it’s that so their pressures off now can
we play can we left curiosity and wonder
table can we sort of move beyond these
notions of how we will be perceived you
know and one of the states that most
traders make including myself is that we
fear perfection but I think it’s
important for us to be able to move you
know this we need to really develop over
a period of time in intimate
relationship with fear and understand
that perfection is nothing but a mirage
we will never get there because whatever
has been done and atomic can be done
again and how we can be done better
right I think the other thing that we
really spend a lot of time thinking
no one’s really judging honestly about
that important not anymore
nobody has the time they’re all too busy
figuring their own lives out dealing
with their own challenges they have
their own hopes their own dreams their
own fears so you know just focus on
yourself don’t really bother what I
think and also once you start kind of
rewiring your brain into this you kind
of understand that
there is no positive or negative
experience there is just experience you
just take it and move on that’s all we
can do
so the next time you face here consider
yourself you know why because if you are
able to use the tools of wonder
curiosity of imagination then you will
be able to penetrate this wall of
self-doubt and beyond that wall nice
card and when you get into the realm of
possibility so this is a quote by a
Buddhist monk they all should be
regarded as extremely good I know most
of us don’t really think that but I’d
like to talk about change I think
changes the only real constant but we
don’t really understand how important it
is and to give you an example of that
this is a photo taken in nineteen
six I believe in the United States and
these guys here are pushing a fight
megabyte hard
okay that’s 50 years ago so imagine me
going to any one of these guys are any
one of you really and saying hey you
know what I have a magazine huh which
fits in the palm of my hand well in a
second I can access every single human
experience information data immediately
available and it’s available to all
humans that they think you’re crazy
right and this was 50 years ago so we
live in an ever-changing world you know
we live in a world which has to second
attention spans endless trolls
technology’s changing us changing how we
interact with one another how we work
how we you know aspire to professional
careers so as of today embracing change
is no longer good to have it’s an
absolute must-have and one of the ways
that I found to be able to sort of
really be able to be adaptable and bring
it into my life and adapt to change is
by developing a skill now I believe and
this is something I
every single person telling me go out
there find something you love find the
skill it doesn’t matter what it doesn’t
matter if you’re a banker wants to be a
baker it doesn’t matter if you’re the
engineer who wants to study battery
science it doesn’t matter
find the skill more than one and I’ll
tell you what when you start developing
a set of skills biologically and this is
my biotech principle your brain started
quite a neurons you actually
biologically stay younger you stay more
active it allows us to stay nimble it
allows us to adapt to evolve you’re able
to really take on whatever life throws
at you and once you accept this you
realize that you are basically carrying
them within yourself the seeds of
Independence and opening up a world of
possibilities regardless of circumstance
as I stand here today with the skills
that I have I have no fear because I can
leave any country anywhere in the world
and start off doing something that I may
not have done before why because I’ve
done it before
it’s the journey and it’s the process
that one point engage against it’s how
you sort of derive that imagination and
passion and then just translating it
becomes way more important than just
living so first you what you love that’s
a condition but don’t worry about making
it a career not just yet but one day and
this as time goes by and especially our
country there are more and more people
were sort of putting their day jobs and
getting into things that they love one
day you just might want to make a career
of mine one day circumstances may
present themselves immediately something
happen and when that day comes you will
be glad to have that parachute that’s
skill that you chose to do this is
something that I thought of for lifetime
that’s the only way to really the next
thing that I want to talk about is I
believe authenticity from originality
you know we spend too much of time
thinking over you know what this idea
has to be original I feel it’s more
important for us to be honest than
original and the reason I say that is
because today everything is remix of the
remix of another image we are in a world
where we have infinite information
available to us just like that we live
in a world where these layers of
influences right from the dawn of time
from the dawn of
civilization till now that in some way
color us so when we get into the process
of creation it’s impossible for not
having interested impossible to not be
inspired but at the end of the day when
you’re creating what is more important
you want to write the only way you’re
going to be able to change a person or
influence personal change the way they
think is by influencing the way they
feel you never would be able to do that
unless you create from a place that
creates a different within yourself and
which is why it’s important to take your
work very personally it has to mean
something to you it doesn’t matter
whether it means something to someone
else if you are able to create with
honesty if you’re able to you know
really look at fear in the eyes said
these are my inhibitions and this is how
I put through them and this is where I
use the tools of curiosity and Wonder
and imagination and passion and put
something out and it may not be perfect
but it is me that is what is going to
shine through so the truth price is not
what willing you want to make it’s not
what networks will make it’s not what
get some rest
it’s really how much of your own life
are you prepared to exchange for your people thank you
