Find Your Passion and Become a Better Person | Viorica Pintilie | TEDxCambridgeSchoolofBucharest


good evening choose a job you love and
you will never have to work a day in
your life you know this cause right I
know you too because social media is so
full of these codes it’s so easy to to
look into feel that oh I can accomplish
everything I know already I cannot
accomplish but I want to trust you if
you know many people that are really
enjoying and love what they do
adults you know not so much I didn’t
find too much I think that everybody has
very special qualities is very unique
very different and very especially so as
it as from childhood our parents and our
teachers are inspiring us to find the
profession and something that will help
us to become successful like I don’t
know to be doctors or lawyers or
but not everybody is made for this I
feel blessed and happy that I find my
mission I found it my mission is to
bring emotions to bring happiness
through singing so I said free singing
I’m not a speaker so for me is the first
time being in this position so life life
show us when we are paying attention if
we are on the right way on our path
always show us but not often the we are
opening our eyes to see this to feel
this so sometimes it has very funny ways
to show us what happened to me I I was
raised in Kitchener Republic of Moldova
in a family that didn’t have very they
have a lot of money to support me but
environment in our house that helped me
to raise with self-confidence and to joy
and to believe in myself and to believe
that I can accomplish everything that I
want to I am a to musical school and now
start just to sing on stage early
had a band I play in a rock band
rebellious rock band and then a pop band
and at the age of 15 I was on the very
big stage in a main square of the city
it was a huge success
for me and it bring me some
opportunities big opportunities I
started to work than some studios
composing for other artists at one point
I felt that what was happening there it
wasn’t enough for me so with a lot of
courage a lot of confidence with all my
dreams and hopes and a lot of tears in
my eyes I took the bus from casino to
Bucharest to a contest talent contest
called pop stars I don’t know if you
heard about it okay so I do I went to
this competition okay I was there I went
to semi-finals
it was very nice it was beautiful it was
exciting I had the opportunity after
that to work in some studios and so at
17-17 I was moving in another country in
his biggest city in Bucharest all by
myself working after school and just
glad I have a scholarship also so I was
learning a lot oh okay this may be it
looks like a fairy tale for young girls
and so nice to a secret performance work
in studios with producer but it wasn’t
it wasn’t a fairy tale at all so I
worked a lot but I work for I work for
others and it wasn’t such a big pleasure
for my soul I wanted to perform to be
connect
to people so how how I was saying life
has very funny ways to show us where we
are and if what we do is the right thing
what happened I met my future husband we
married I got pregnant okay so that
wasn’t in my plan at all I was 20 so I
wanted to make a career not to stay home
raising kids and 20 okay
so all this pop star thing just stopped
okay um I was enjoying my motherhood and
something very interesting happened
in my soul I felt that I would like to
bring something good to this world to
make it better or it’s not better
beautiful more beautiful so there are a
lot of possibilities I here I studied
psychology I was wanted to to help
people help people but the therapists
job it wasn’t for me at the time I had a
restaurant with my ex-husband it’s
already okay a waiver we were promoting
healthy food and healthy lifestyle after
that I work with toddlers playing with
them and offering them the love that we
all need especially when we are fun and
after that I was knocked risk for total
thing but in all these areas I was happy
I was happy at one point I wasn’t so he
didn’t fulfill me I wanted to come back
to stage I wanted to sing in front of
people because I felt that every time I
was coming back to music there are a lot
of opportunities and doors that open to
me so I started to sing again I started
to sing jazz I had a lot of time while I
was with my kid at home to listen to
listen a lot of jazz divas and jazz
singers they were so good and I was was
so inspired that I even didn’t know what
what I sound like
so it took me almost two years to
discover that I was shy at the beginning
because there are a lot of other good
musicians good singers that are have a
band technique have a better voice have
better everything okay but after a few
concerts then a few months and then few
years I saw that people are still coming
to concerts over and over again and but
they love what they are hearing I see
the smiles on their faces they are
telling me that I opened the their soul
and I heal the souls okay these are big
words but it made me doing what I’m
doing I’m so happy when I have people in
front of me that I see are listening not
only listening but receiving me in their
soul so I think is a win-win situation
as I told you I’m not a speaker I’m
adjusting her and I deliver emotion this
is the way that I connect to people so I
I would like to sing for you but before
that I want to trust you if you were
just concert well yeah okay you know
what’s happening there yeah it is
happiness but what’s happening on the
stage between the musicians so it’s a
gel jazz it’s it’s about improvisation
it’s a discussion between musicians and
everybody has to listen to the other one
okay to listen and not to speak when
he’s speaking so everybody has to be
it’s always very like lightly okay it’s
happening something very very real all
the time
in my beginnings beginnings in jazz area
there are people that helped me one of
them is Tyrion Cheon PO
so he was near to me at my very first
jazz concert he helped me with his
experience and with his nice sound
you’ll hear so we would like to sing and
play for you to pieces
so one it’s about this improvisation
what’s happening on stage so if we’re
singing something we don’t follow a
speech okay
no we improvise so if he wants to go
somewhere else somewhere else with the
melody I have to follow him okay so if I
do the same he has to follow me now well
[Music]
fly me to the moon and let me play among
the stars let me see how spring is like
on Jupiter in other words darling kiss
me fill my our song then let me sing for
real you like all our worship and or
another
[Music]
darling kiss me fill my with some and
let me sing forevermore you are all I
long for all I worship
so I started with the chest but he’ll
then go to wasn’t Noah and to swing so
okay
what I wanted to to say okay I improvise
of my speech every bit nice as I do with
songs as I do with my life I told her
that the part with the child it wasn’t
in my plan for the beginning so I had to
improvise and to make it somehow
um it’s not very easy not for me not for
my loved ones worth though that are
around me but it’s uh it’s very
interesting and it’s very excited so I
would like to sing for you now song my
