get here I came from Paris yesterday so
I’m pretty happy to be here and I will
start from ya english it’s not very
comfortable language for me so I’m my
apologies better speaking Russian OH
French so for last 17 years I teach
photography and cinema in educational
summer camp and this year we had a day
of like modern art there and I made one
object I just put some scotch tape
across the corridor and the name of it
was a limit and almost every kid
crushing it was just going under it or
above and just one girl asked me if she
could just take it away just you know
like this so I said yes because all the
limits most of them are in our heads so
so most of the limits don’t exist
actually so except being photographer as
Bruno said and accept being writer
except being friend daughter wife
ex-wife ex-girlfriend actual girlfriend
I’m also a mother and I live in friends
so in France what still talking about
limits okay in France they have two
rules that I think very important for
raising kids the first one is pause it’s
very cool because you don’t need to run
it’s a first cry of a kid so just let
them think by themselves and don’t be in
a rush ok so it’s friends the other one
it’s very cool it’s mmm actually sorry
english limits its boundaries so you
have to settle some boundaries to your
kid for him to feel comfortable inside
it because if a child don’t know his
limits don’t know his what is allowed
and what is good so we’re speaking about
the usefulness of boundaries there are
some so he will she will be not feeling
comfortable and he won’t be just lost
but and it’s very important if he knows
his boundaries he knows that inside it
what everything he can do it’s unlimited
now he will be happy all our limits
which are in our hands we need them to
feel happy because if we
don’t feel happy we just make it behind
we change something and when we changed
when we made an effort to change
something we don’t think about this
limits anymore we don’t think about
boundaries anymore it’s like when you
are in the airport you cross the
passport control you made all the
security checks and you are in the duty
free are you still thinking about
boundaries are you still thinking about
passport control now you’re thinking
about the upcoming flight you are
thinking about what you should buy to
you to somebody or to yourself so all
limits you can leave them behind you
don’t actually need them so how old are
you 14 15 16 17 do you have older
friends or younger friends do are you
friends with your parents whether your
brothers and sisters you can be don’t
limit yourself because uh if you meet
somebody like grown-up 35 year old and
you say hi he’s too old he’ll just his
boring or you may or you meet a child
eight-year-old 10 year old is it oh he’s
too young was he can know about this
life so you are limiting yourself and
then when you’re open it’s like it’s the
same thing as open minded you speak with
a 35 year old grown-up and you’re
crossing the line at the same moment
you’re speaking to him because he can be
wise experienced and he already best
that you are facing and you already past
that the eight or ten year old kid is
facing so you
and exchange you have lots of things to
say to each other and all the boundaries
will disappear by their owns we all know
I like this word boundary limits because
it’s all unlimited love limitless
abilities limit limited abilities
unlimited opportunities I have a friend
you you have I think some some of you or
you already met people with limited
abilities or you know maybe people with
unlimited creative talents maybe you are
of course you are I have a friend is
just for example to to tell you about
how we can how we can be it might be a
little extreme so it’s real story I have
a friend he is a pilot international
airlines and about two years ago he
found out that he had multiple sclerosis
and so of course he lost his the flying
licence 38 years old his 38 years old
and has a son two months old so this guy
passed about two weeks in complete
desperation which is completely normal
after he knew his dead Magnus’s and then
he said all right I can do something
amazing and now in this April this year
he’s preparing an amazing trip over the
circle Polar Circle that nobody did
before because the only plane that he
can fly it’s um it’s little plane that
can go down on the water I don’t know
how to say that in English so it’s a he
just crossed a line in enormous line
because everything that is that was
impossible became possible just because
it might be a little extreme okay it’s
cold outside you are here you can be
proud of yourself really you did it you
came here you go to school every day
don’t don’t be scared to be proud of
yourself because it’s really important
everything that you pass every day every
little single limit that you cross you
can say yes I did it because because
it’s really cool you can you can be
proud I I have another friend that who
decided one day I just I do it also now
because it is I like the idea one day he
decided to learn at least three things a
day three new things about anything it
could be a new person it could be in
fact it could be new music three facts
today every single day now he’s just a
very super interesting person who knows
a lot about everything and he’s just
crossing and crossing and crossing the
lines every day it’s like when you cross
the line when you cross limits in your
head it’s like you decide to wake up
happy one day it’s all about happiness
it’s when you decide to be happy to
spend a happy life or a sad life you can
say I can do that anymore or I will do
it because all limits and all happiness
is in your head that’s it thank you guys thank you myself
