hi I’m Joe you know I already said that
like six times today but I and so I’m
going to give you about four seconds of
silent kind from me
yay and I’m going to urge you to quietly
in your own mind no one to judge you for
it
just please save the sentence to
yourself my self-worth is important and
I’m going to be standing here and trying
my best to calm down my nerves and
pretend I’m doing it okay so okay four
seconds go right cool so I really hope
you said that cinders yet because I’m
you need to say that a lot and it’s
great to be here I am so humbled by my
voice is really great I was so humbled
by the idea that someone thought I would
be relevant to this event it was a dream
of mine I was unaware I had and then it
was sprung up of me above on me and Here
I am reeling in the suffering and and I
wanted to tell you about how you can say
human in a in a negative way right okay
so do I consider myself an expert in my
field debating taught me to define
keywords so by expert I mean this circle
here is it around me this is what I’m an
expert in I’m an expert in waking up
every morning and accepting my
self-worth and working from them it’s so
difficult to find a point to focus on
when the world around you is
increasingly despondent I want to tell
you about the turning point because this
the theme of this event the only point I
want to tell you about is that from now
on you will be aware of yourself worth
I’m highlighting this because I really
really needed for someone to tell me
this when I was a teenager about your
age and it would have made a lot of
difference in somebody who was smiling
and friendly and everything came up to
me and told me that and the turning
points I’m I’m referred you can further
be seen as crossroads and because
they’re seen as crossroads they can
inform your life and the way of life
goes if you look at crossroads as if as
if there were decisions you can
understand how decisions inform your
life right okay you see I come from
fiction and from poetry and we abandoned
you know abandoned metaphors and in
convoluted ways of telling it probably
it so what I’m really trying to tell you
I relentlessly searched for what I
wanted to convey to you in these up to
18 minutes out of which it probably
weighs about 3 and in my friend a Google
search as I came across a quote by dr.
Nick Morgan and this blog article I’m
not fitting me must have tried to get
attentive speech the quote is there’s
something you know in a way that nobody
else does and this bit this is how I
want to introduce this idea to you you
know you in a way that nobody else does
you have been by your side through the
good and the bad and happy and the sad
and you have succeeded and it can
absolutely help yourself
stay human in an increasingly despondent
world news situation euro Gerson which
is innovative I know nobody thought
about this different euro person and
you’re at a crossroads which is your
turning point since we’re talking
this and you you don’t know what’s
happening your your your oppressor maybe
you’re a knight is perhaps a heart or
both and you find yourself there King
behind you where there is an endless
battle field that you’ve somehow managed
to get in through and you don’t know how
you’re tired everything you’re tired
your front of you there’s this endless
plain of possibilities and you really
really want to get from intermediary
point me where you’re right now to point
n somewhere in the future in the horizon
and the way to do that you you don’t
know it you don’t know how to get there
you don’t know anything and in your mind
there is an ongoing conflict and I know
this because I have been through this
business and it was somewhat daunting
and I found myself wondering whether I
could do it whether I could be what I
want to be so I okay story time I
decided very early on in life that I
wanted to be a writer and I I went
through the usual choices of secretary
and tractor driver and astronaut and
secret agent was the other one
and finally guys Templeton’s writer and
I I went through the usual steps if the
usual steps mean running up earth
45-degree slope while inhales and you’re
wearing high heels and the world is
against you and finally I decided you
know why I want to do this so I packed
my life up and I moved across the
continent and I wanted to find out if I
could actually be a writer if I could if
I could actually do this I can
vitamins B yeah I was talking to you
about my process before I got
interrupted by the you know you know how
we were talking about the other person
inside of you about two seconds ago I’ve
got someone like that keeps interrupting
me um so my own process was don’t think
I told you that and what I did to get
out of it is I put myself out there I
tried to find outlets for the negativity
in my mind
the problem with negativity in your –
that is so turned inwards that you can’t
control where it goes and how it goes so
I tried to find out things and the way I
did that is I started writing I started
writing an opinion column it was very
opinionated and I engaged in public
speaking a lot better than this I
promise and I started writing poetry and
reading poetry and and shouting my
poetry frame our stages and you know in
my in my in my newly stirring Club which
is incidentally was so bad in microphone
story and and eventually I found this
outlet to the negativity in my mind it’s
so important that you decide to do that
because it informs who you are as a
person it makes you understand that you
as a person can build so much you can
rebuild yourself as a human in this
increasingly despondent world by helping
rebuild others if you inform positive
thoughts about others you can then
nurture them take them away and reinvest
them into the society your life and life
of those around you the problem that I
find these days a lot is because I’m so
into information and sometimes
information finds me if and when I don’t
want to define me and what I find is
that most days this onslaught of
information is so absolutely
horrendously negative they don’t know
how to defend yourself from it and in in
light of this it’s so unbelievably
important that you you stay human and
how do you do
you go to battle I don’t mean like a
shouting bats or you know when this
battle I mean you literally you take a
stance and when this entire tidal wave
of negativity comes towards you you
start writing your own story this is how
this is what I know how to do I write
story this entire thing is a narrative
that’s tiny piece gave me a myth and
this is exactly why everything that is
around you everything that is negative
everything is coming towards you and you
just need to start writing your own
story you can change the narrative of
your own life you can take this you can
stray from traditional narratives you
can do something creative get a degree
in creative writing
okay it’s a good thing to do and you can
absolutely do anything you want if you
stay human and if you understand that by
rebuilding others by helping others by
understanding what creates their
humanity taking that nurturing it and
the reabsorbing it into yourself you
will absolutely decide and manage to
stay human I wanted to tell you guys to
travel miles across the world and do
this and do that and the thing is I
understand how about realizing that can
sound and in the opinion column that I
had I wrote this bit about how I really
really hope that people would stop
telling me to stop running in the fun
mostly because you know I think it would
work if initially you would eventually
make me happy but not immediately and
you know I’ll try to start stop tweezing
it would probably be a lot better and I
really is that people start telling you
things that they think are best you do
they do that and I’m telling you
travel miles and do this and and wake up
you should sleep while I’m talking and
do this and do that you know things like
that but I don’t mean to be patronizing
Keefe you were to come up to me and to
tell me but Jo I really like my comfort
zone and you know I would say mate I
like it too like I love my comfort zone
this is not my comfort zone right now
I absolutely does my comfort zone so if
that works best for you stay in your
comfort zone follow the path that you
want to follow but understand that the
fear of being too assertive and the fear
of not being enough is exactly the same
fear you are afraid of being yourself in
a world that does not approve of what
you define to be yourself it’s so
unbelievably refreshing well you can
pick your narrative and I keep coming
back to the narrative because again this
is what I know how to do if you manage
to stray from the original narrative
that the world the universe Society your
parents whoever gave you and you managed
to rewrite that if you dig inside of you
and find the creative aspect that makes
you who you are
that will change your entire perspective
on pretty much every evening if you take
anything away from this other than how
not to do a TED speak you need to take
away that you should accept your
accomplishments and while you’re
accepting your accomplishments you
should redefine them as being different
than traditional societal norms of
accomplishments they are they are
something that you decide as an
accomplishment you decide what makes you
successful and you need to understand
that you should absolutely a hundred
percent always be kind to you and good
to others and kind to when you decide to
be human and understand that it is
absolutely imperative necessary that you
always accept yourself for who you are
and you get to decide what you do from
