how are you so far you happy are you
here for another time
wow you’re so great I am used to this
theater I teach here every week I am an
academic yes and I have degrees and the
letters after my name because the
University asked me to have all these
letters in my business cards and for me
be here it’s not so different because
that’s my everyday life basically Fiji
but be with you for 15 to 20 minutes
it’s difficult for me indeed
my name is not Allison those were from
England and not a female sometimes
people expect a lady many times my
insurance company for my car I already
gave up because every time I complain
they gave me 15 pounds vulture so I gave
up because I could be very rich actually
every year I’m from Brazil South Brazil
and I came from a very simple and I’m
saying poor village every year I go back
and I really enjoy being there very poor
place unfortunately it did not develop
much
yes now now now this is not my child
because actually my daughter is sitting
right here in front of me that’s me when
I was seven years old can I ask you a
question have weathered being bullied in
your life have you have you ever been
bullied by your colleagues in school or
your friends supposed to be friends or
your neighborhood friends have you ever
been bullied it’s okay you don’t need to
say say to you or if I would ask you the
next question have you ever been bullied
by your school teachers thank you
teachers are either they make you or
they can destroy especially in primary
secondary school when I was seven years
old I remember very well one of my
teachers she crushed me in front of the
whole class
she bullied me and she said to me in
front of the whole class you would never
be able to write and read Portuguese my
first language what she doesn’t know is
that I teach today in three languages
and I write in three languages and I go
around the world to teach unfortunately
she already passed away otherwise
but I always meet some other very
interesting features and some of them
really help me a lot
keep this in mind when I was a child I
was very creative remember I couldn’t do
very well in school but I was very
billeted that was one of my first toys
that I made myself with my friends we
really enjoyed it we don’t do this
anymore do it especially the Western
world we buy from Amazon right but from
Google whatever yeah we don’t do things
by ourselves anymore especially the kids
it’s easy you know that was my first
bike my mom work as a cleaner cleaning
houses and she couldn’t afford to buy me
a new bike so she bought me a second
head back
in fact she worked for a few days in one
of the rich families in the town only a
few by the way yeah and she was able
then eventually to give me this
secondhand back but I was so creative
and imaginative that one day I
transformed my yes and I decided to do
something different with my bike but
remember I was not very good in school
that’s a picture of a company you can’t
see there well but this is a
multinational corporation co-chaired ow
one of the top companies in the steel
industry in the world in Brazil guess
what I passed the exams to start working
there when I was strange of course very
strange isn’t it I was the first ever
young person to start working on office
for 48 hours a week
I asked permission from my parents and
they look from the local judge and the
local judge signed the papers and
allowed me to get the job change is
accelerating believe me look around and
you see and how these changes will
affect you personally or professionally
no one knows it
you don’t know nevertheless we are
preparing kids in the primary secondary
school especially for a world which we
don’t know we have lots of possibilities
yes indeed the Internet is not only
rubbish there are lots of things we have
freedom at least in this country or in
Europe in general and many other
countries we have freedom and we have
more and more options but sometimes we
are super gated by this freedom and
options in our life yes I’m sure you
agree with me that we have junk made
your critique and rubbish a lot in our
society today just look around and you
see are you familiar I’m sure you are
familiar with this research into the
left and right hemispheres of the
cerebral cortex this one here
have you ever seen this one before this
picture if I would ask you which side
are you probably most of you here would
say one or the other
maybe you are very good in maths logical
maths but not so good in music maybe you
are a very good very good in science but
maybe not so good in emotion
intelligence what about if I would say
to you that you can be both there are
some research now that is saying that
yes indeed we can bring together both
sides of our brain nevertheless
GCS is and exams in general a levels
even sometimes in university they label
us you are either this or that I really
like to read I have probably over a
thousand books in my office and I say to
lobby’s because one of them is my cart
is full of books I enjoy with one of the
philosophers and mathematicians that I
like to read is their friend who saw and
he said that individuals genius is was
someone who has unique qualities and
talents so everyone is a genius provide
that you have some qualities and I’m
sure that all of you have and if you
don’t have your talents yet don’t worry
just practice go for your dreams find
out your talents we may have different
talents in our lives but sometimes we
are super gated by the system and I’ll
prove this to you look what Bertrand
will show set this possible for some
geniuses to be here and I would like you
to think about yourself not about myself
crushed in their youth and lost forever
when the environment around them is
unsympathetic remember my teacher not
very sympathetic with me so I could be
crushed forever just because one of the
teachers and this is a sucker what’s
happening in the catchment system don’t
get me wrong I am in the gutter system
and I think we do amazing things but
sometimes what we see is a disorganized
system which is huge in our kids what we
were told in the 19th century
since the Industrial Revolution we are
not preparing them for the 20% rate
really if we still have GCSEs an exam we
are not preparing them very well and
there is a lot of discussion always
enough especially this country but in
many others Bertrand who saw said also
this man and women obviously are poor
ignorant not stupid
they are maybe stupid by education can
you imagine that who teaches you the
first mistakes in your life maybe Oh
tears but for sure
the second ones will be the teachers
that you are making mistakes that you
want stupid but you are not since I
start developing the seven principles in
my life these ones that you are seeing
in front of you I start knowing more
about myself and develop him or myself
and by the way I’d like to say to you
that my first degree I finish when I was
33 years old in this country I stopped
studying for about 10 years can you
imagine why I stopped study obviously I
fail in exams and I emitted education so
I stopped reading books and I stopped
completely education for about 10 years
of my life I think today curiosity are
you kidding in a life what do you do to
improve your curiosity kids are curious
when I give a talk in schools for very
young kids and I asked them who is very
intelligent here or curious how many
hands do you think I see all of them
right as I go to for example tea and and
give a talk to teenagers 12 13 14 only
half of them when I give a talk to young
people adults
then even less of them because we tend
not to be more cute as anymore
are you persistence can imagine if I was
not persistent in my life even after 10
years
are you persistent on what you want for
your life
what about consciousness are you
conscious about who you are because if
you don’t know who you are
like socket set I’m sorry I don’t know
what you’re doing this balance
find out who you are your identity will
show me the results of your life and how
you are making a difference in our
society like many of the other speakers
did you know today here same to you
are you imaginative what you do to
become more imaginative looking at
Facebook what people are doing the
gossip is around is this about
imagination no by the way don’t forget
everything around us here was imagined
before beings and created you see the
schools don’t teach us how to be
imaginative
they don’t teach much us much more about
creativity for example and our
organizations are desperate for
imaginative and creative people nowadays
science our logic and imagination are
together but even in university they are
not because we’re so separate here don’t
tell my boss we are so separate the guys
from the young fellows from a
biochemistry for example oh no I do you
think about mastering the business or
the arts departments and business while
we are not together learning from each
other he seems to be but we are not we
are very separated sixth one your body
in your mind I was doing some research
about Leonardo da Vinci and guess what
he was very good with his body looking
after his body we know that he was a
scientist as well and many other titles
we give you know to Leonardo da Vinci
and he was a genius but you know I found
out that he was vegetarian and so am I
since I was 20 years old strange isn’t
it
I’m not asking you to be vegetarians by
the way you don’t need to be but more
than that you’re not a bitch used to go
for long walks and do a lot of exercise
so of course your body and your mind are
connected tell me what you’re thinking
and I know who you are
can I ask you to do an activity when you
leave today draw yourself doesn’t matter
if you are not very good don’t worry
nobody is going to give you a mark you
are not going to fail draw your body and
see who you are to your body
finally contemplate the holiness because
we are experienced we are all together
contemplate the wholeness that makes us
as individuals and geniuses in this
planet but don’t forget most people
never figure out who they are or the
genius within themselves even if they
have degrees that was me in the last
five years I have been receiving the
best real words as a teacher in this
university do you think I’m not proud of
myself of course I am considering who I
was before I have my own office is it
that great yes I gave talks in Oxford in
Cambridge in different countries and in
another language by the way and I teach
you here you can see one
of the pictures there and I also run
half-marathons and I look up for my body
okay I’m not 100% vegetarian once in a
while I eat fish don’t worry later
general you are unique and you are a
genius
believe me you have the genius inside of
you please follow me and unleash your
Genesis thank you very much
[Applause]
