Emprendimiento para Generar Cambio Social | Carlos Valencia | TEDxQuitoJoven


[Applause]
all my life I loved sports
at 2 years old I started with the annotation to
the 4 years he practices karate and finally
at 10 medical 100% to practice soccer
soccer is my life what I like the most
is that it ‘s a team game during the
party has to talk to your
companions to be able to reach the arch and
scoring a goal
my biggest dream was to become
Professional player playing on the computer
of my loves the independent of the valley
and one day be selected nationally and
who removes power to raise the cup
world
it was the goal that most had the dream that
I wanted to do it and everything pointed to
I was on the right track I played in the minors
independent of the valley and was next
to achieve my dream
I remember in a training when
I had a little discomfort in the knee
I had to stop at that time and in the
doctor hurt me enough I could not sit
the leg when the doctor arrives
He said
I have to do some x-rays for
see what is happening
I went I did the x-rays and I went back
at which point the radiograph indicates
I ‘m looking at the doctor
what he told me
I would change my life
I remember that I’m watching in the
eyes and told me Carlos
your cartilage is detached you can not
probably play soccer again
until you can not run again
in that moment my life went to my world
it went down who just told me that
after so many years
training and training and training
to fulfill a one day friendship for
the other one could not do it anymore
I could do it again
I remember that I had surgery
everything went very successfully and I went into
recovery stage
in rehabilitation
Even though I was recovering myself
I did not see any improvement
I felt terrible
after being all my life jumping
running now they had to be 24
hours of the day prostrate in my bed without
Do nothing
It was a hard blow for me
all this happened in the summer of the year
past
He spent his vacation time and had to
Go back to school and go back to school
it was the worst thing that I did not like the most
the chemical physics classes and
maths
now I could not even move
a little
The first day comes on crutches because
practically could not could not bend
my knee at 10 degrees
being locked in a classroom was the worst
for me
and the only thing that mattered to me in the
Photos
I said not one day I’m going to recover
and I’m going to go back to the fields
I believed the doctor
I focused only on soccer in my
recovery and on returning to the courts
I did not care about my family or my
friends about that goal
I remember that we are already in the stage of
exams tests
during this process or a class that I
he drew attention
the kind of entrepreneurship was breathed
a different air was something different something
that aroused my curiosity again but
I did not accept it no, I ‘m going to
recover and return to the courts
I remember that we had a review of
entrepreneurship I had not studied
I knew nothing
I had not written anything in that test and
as my colleagues finished the
They gave him proof and went out to recess
I was the last one there with my teacher
and I said now what I do so that it does not happen
what do I do to see that I do not
written nothing apart from my name clear
when I went to deliver the test I
I did a little conversation and between
how many questions were there that from that
I would instantly change my life completely
agreement to ask you teacher
How can one find your true
passion as one can find the reason
why is here in this world that
response was incredible he told me all
those answers that you’re looking for
they are inside you if you want to know
why are you here in this world
look inside do not look good you
you know more than anything all that you
you’re looking for is in under whom
just said I remember that I went to
patio with my roommates I sat in the
bleachers and I started thinking
to see Carlos, which is the last thing
is to you that you are liking
what is it that has awakened you a new
curiosity
entrepreneurship there may be the
way I remember that same day
I came to my house I opened my computer
I put more research on the world of
business
I really liked was fascinated me
I called too much attention and said
my granny has her decorations she
it’s paintings and paintings because it’s not
formalize your work and make a
company with her
I remember that I went to open the door of
my room and I told my grandmother
amazing idea
we made a logo a slogan a page
web and currently we are still in
that project
Time passed and this new passion
I kept growing I started attending
lectures I started reading many books
before but a book for me was the worst
I was scared I did not like it
and now it’s one of those hobbies that
I enjoy more
this year I would be presented with a
incredible opportunity
junior achievement is a foundation that
awakens the entrepreneurial vision in
young students like us
It was the perfect opportunity to apply
my knowledge learned and for
learn more about entrepreneurship
and I remember the first training that
they gave us and they told us they have to
make a product that is innovative a
innovator who is exactly innovative
for me innovative was something related
clearly with technology
crazy ideas how to create a computer
that will work only with the mind things
of that style
we were almost a month
asking us what product to make up
that we had a meeting we sat down
all the members of the company to
discuss and talk about what product
we had to do and we remembered that
we had the possibility to change the
world and do something positive for the
people
among many ideas how to create a
product before things or create a rubber
elastic for blind people
We decided to create a vest for children
with autism
best friend
best friend is a vest with
sensory stimulation and weight the weight
is strategically placed in each
vest pocket this helps the
children because it gives them more contention
a greater internal record what is this
of the internal record the internal record
is the lack of control of their
sensations and we give you this
we bring this because the vest gives
the feeling of a hug
and in the front we have the
sensory stimulation that is the plush
that helps children to be in
trust with the vest because it
resembles your teddy bear
I am currently a marketing manager of
the company musk a jota the company that
taught me that innovation is not only
create new technology innovate is
find a need to find a
problem and fix it
everyone will wonder why I said no
I should be here that’s what I thought
a year before finding my true
dream
remember that undertaking does not mean
just start a business or create a
company
undertake
is to have a kingdom and fight to do it
reality but never close or close
their minds
always be willing to come
new things
in my case life all that give a
strong blow so that I understood which
is the real reason why I’m
here
Remember that success is not measured in
how much money factors
success is measured in the size of the
smile of your customers when you put them
happy when you give them your product and they
they are happy
this is my life
and that’s how I went from being a soccer player to
be an entrepreneur thank you very much
