you may not believe the following
for a few years ago for me it was
impossible to consider to stop talking
in public so that they understand me I do not
I could get to a classroom
returning from vacations and chatting
front of the class what was it that had
done on my summer vacation
so much towards the thing that in my school
last he preferred to get my
final presentations to pass in front
to talk about what I had to
talk until one day my dad gets
the great idea of ​​sending me a
summer camp in usa with so
I was even 14 years old I said good
go my son to be just the ig nobel
total that he wanted me to be alone
because he wanted me to learn to
communicate with other people who do not
I knew he also wanted me
develop new skills and total
I said it’s fine but below
the table went with some friends and I started them
to sell the idea of creating a camp
summer is in the USA there are some gringas and
total since I had to sell nothing and
they were already convinced total
they started seeing their dad with their dad
they gave them permission from the camp and
total when and go my dad was already very
late as for my dad and be something
about
he feels things that I know I’m in
road to san francisco with my other
friends and when we arrived we got a
auditorium where there were more than 250
students from all parts of the
world and the people brazil from canada
usa of costa rica everyone was there
and when it arrived the inauguration begins and
the manager of the camp begins to
introduce and company you start to
introduce all the teachers that we
they were going to be helping and attending to
through the two weeks of the camp
total with god they finish presenting themselves
the manager re-takes can to
get on the stage and tell us good and
that they knew us all
now we want to know them
Some of you
and I remember that when I had that
dispute with my dad that if he wanted to go
he does not want to go I said no I do not know
is that everything I promise a thing I’m going to
try to take advantage of any
opportunity that presents itself to me during
the camp either participate in the
activities or anything that makes me
excel because I would be very angry that
I have told my two friends below
the total table when we arrived at the
camp and the manager says expensive we
want to meet us ask us
who is it that wants to come forward and
say how they are called where they are from and something
interesting that they have learned the
last 23 hours
and in that moment the only thing I’m going to
go through my mind I will try to
seize the opportunity but what
you remember, I did not know
how to speak in public in my life has
standing in front then when we
they say that if someone wanted to pass said
you know it will do it 5 seconds
flip my left flip my right and
manage it before the sea the next
three seconds systematically at
flyer at hand without thinking what is it
what am I doing and having there in the
way of how I manage
total flip back to the forehead
in anticipated the hand before the hand when
hand
italy as they tell me something important that
day is that I brought the shirt of mexico
because that same day I played Mexico in the
2014 in the World Cup against Argentina what
important is the game is that if you do not
eliminated if we lost that game did not
they will eliminate as always total
Then he hid his hand up
they say to the post of mexico because to have
the shirt of mexico such I stand in the
way nothing starts walking
my right and all 250 students
turning to see
in my head is doing what is
doing because by hand he was
well comfortable and sitting someone more power
past present I was there to give
with my friends but such I’m walking
and when his the stage happens to me the
microphone I stand
and for the next five thousand does not come out
no word from my mouth
is shaped has nothing to say
of so many nerves
in that language I think attacking with laughter and
everyone starts to laugh saying
what happens’ve she has been charged so healthy
is saying nothing total I was the
in charge of the direct one and that is that he has to
answer then everyone starts
to get out of laughter and me is not your
name where are you and something interesting and
it’s ok total I’m starting and still with voice
broken true because there is already a
little calmer because they are all
laughing but as I wanted I had
quite scared total I start good by
I did not die fernandez I’m from Mexico and
all are attacked reality was then
I clearly have the shirt and when I go
to tell me what is something interesting
What has happened to me?
it can happen because they have nothing else
what to tell was that before getting on the
plane from the city of mexico to san
francisco started the game of mexico
against argentina
two hours a minute when we arrived at
san francisco three hours flying it
only that we wanted to check myself and my
friends is whether Mexico had finally
win argentina the arrived we are in
the two hours of immigration and
obviously at that time there was no
telcel and without borders then we
it was worth that we learned the data and
we got to see if Mexico had won
then we realized that clearly
lost Mexico again and that again not
they have eliminated the world then
he told his story and they all attack the
laugh that because according to me good macho with
the shirt of mexico and that again we
they eliminated total flame under the stage
and when we arrived I feel like my friends
as I said I have no idea and at that moment
I tell myself one very important thing is
that one was quite afraid to speak in
public and that very moment and one I
mind that if we put ourselves in situations
uncomfortable something that for me was nothing
easy is where there are more opportunities to
grow them there are more opportunities to
create new skills
and total
thereafter
after the camp I started
relate as each decision that
we take ourselves if you do not believe me there
I’m with the shirt of mexico
presenting this total I realized
on that same day that every decision that
we take have some kind of
effect along the way and that’s the
true reason why I’m here
because I want to share my story
in the most basic terms for
those who do not know what the effect is
dominated the effect that dominated is considered
as a single event and in my case one
single decision that starts and that
triggers a number of events
Similar
for example that was four hours later
I had already stopped through the
stage and there I brought myself in my dance
Benefit your nerves and taxis
because the son of your talent you come and
total those who present some things
then every decision you take affects
in some way or another and brings us closer
or it takes us further away from us
objectives and of something that I am very
sure is that all of us here
We have some goal or some objective or
some frustrated idea of something that
we want to make but what also
I’m sure is that all of us here
we have a tendency to hesitate to doubt
before making a decision whether to
a business or going to the gym or running
in the mornings or something as simple as
Do not talk to a girl in a club
that it causes us fear
anything we have a tendency to
doubt and what you will try to do
right now is explaining why and the
reason why we doubt is because
we immediately think of those
two words in the consequences
immediate of the decision that I am going to
be about to take what will happen if
I stand up front I can not do the
ridiculous of sant to laugh at me or what if
it became half of the presentation
today an ax speaks in a cave
you arrive and hear that if you send me the braking
and she was telling her friends they are going to laugh
my
total anything go to the gym the morning
go up running in the same in all
parties we always have this tendency of
doubt and we think just what is going to
happen today and if we start thinking about the
future of how each decision we make
may affect the long term in
where are we going to stand
totally change the story
If I had not made the decision to
go to the front that day in the camp
when I was 14 years old and overcome that fear
mine that was to speak in public very
I probably was not standing here
with you today and neither your
woman has opened up the possible the
most beautiful opportunity I ‘ve had in
my life I do not know if they remember but the
last September 19 an earthquake in
the city ​​of mexico that caused many
misfortunes and that I was given the great
opportunity as well as 34 years of knowing
that in his raid the founders of a
non – governmental organization is not in
America is called wario is life if it has not
made that decision to speak in public
guiltily list and approach him
to say that is that I liked it a lot
your idea the last mexico would have only
past and it would not have opened this
possibility of missing a week between
classes to be able to help my country
when I needed it most
study and physically with these people
they made a stop on that stage that
same day to overcome my fears very
probably if he had gone to the
Mexico City help deliver the
filters would never coach phil
knock around very fast
what I had to do is explain them
to all the people how they worked
these filters what to do so that they will last
more to extend the life of the filter
because as you can see, the water is coming out
yellow is frightening
then if something those with something the
I want to stop this talk
is this is to talk about a philosopher
a Greek philosopher is a skilled favorite
Plato
a phrase he says is that the beginning
it is the hardest part of any
I work and I totally agree
with what he says
it’s very difficult to start something
What I can tell you is put your
uncomfortable situations and start doing
so now I want to leave you with more
one last rhetorical question
who wants to move forward is to say
what is their name and what they have
learned today thank you very much
