they already said this they already said it
they already said this, they told me
is going to be other than trying to say it
differently
they say
that to know someone is enough
with looking at his shoes
I prefer to think that to meet
a person is better to look at the route
of the path of his life and what he did with
everything lived
and talking about roads and walkers them
I tell a legend that is called the
legend of the walking trees says that
before the trees could move from
one place to another and they did it because
they were all the time looking for a better
place to grow and be themselves
but as the trees live for many years
they were becoming more wise and
they started to stay longer in the
same place and it was there that they deepened their
roots this one spread its branches
they gave flowers fruits seeds
and they also say that since then
never again saw a tree wander
from one place to another because they had
discovered that in the place where they
they were born they had everything they needed to
grow to develop that is to say they had
found his place in the world
and the legend also says at the end that
people today we are like trees
walkers that we usually walk from a place to
other
as meaningless because it’s still not
we found we did not discover that in the
where we are we have everything
necessary also to be happy
as far as we know the yearning more
deep of humanity
because
here is to change
and squeezed alone
I am convinced that to be more
happy we should be more creative and
it is rare to associate these two terms
because if we look today it would seem like
that happiness is more associated with
money or power this what I know
and creativity is more associated with
something magical that grabs the
artists to inventors to children to
those of the marketing department of the
company and they start inventing things that
sometimes they serve for something not
but I think it’s part of that but it ‘s
plus
if you seek or I did that in
Internet
this definition appears within the
first things that appear
creativity is the ability to
generate new ideas or concepts to
from new partnerships between
ideas and concepts known that
they usually produce solutions
originals it happened to me that when the
I read at the first time it’s very confusing
but when I looked at her she described well what
that I feel and lived that is the
creativity said
in less words we could say
creativity is the ability that
we have to take different ideas and
mix them combine them in a way
novelty and obtain results for
problems or challenges of life
everyday
since he mentioned challenges I tell you that
i am married
I already know that I have the ring on my finger
wrong prisoner is another story of
this caste my lady hello dear
Then came the bread and the challenge of
Marriage of the couple
it’s not enough we also have three
children who are also here
and at this time
the income of the family
they depend exclusively on my work and
I am an artist so imagine the
challenge one day I came across a
person and I told him this not from what
I’m married that I have children and I
He says
what do you do what do you do I tell you with
I am a sculptor and he looks at me and says
and your lady who works
I felt half misunderstood, let’s say
but good also had this
what
one day comes in our oldest daughter Lucia
Y
and he says that phrase I think it’s one of
the terrible phrases that parents
we have to listen sometimes and we want
avoid it but that daddy arrives I’m
boring and good for me is a challenge
that then I say you can draw something
and he tells me I do not know what to draw
and I retruded him good draw I make you
thinking that you do not know what to draw
then make the drawing she is
thinking and there starts to go to
start with her creativity and how she
I was thinking I was thinking that
I was thinking I was thinking that
I was thinking like this is a protection to
infinite of it thinking and then
says because it will be that ideas can not
reach me will not be that there is a field
of force that does not allow them to enter
ideas and start drawing the ideas come
the foquito that appeared there an idea
another idea another more idea repeated ideas
jumping ideas bouncing but ideas
they could not enter
and there it gives another twist to the
creativity and says what kind of ideas
it may be that they are not coming up
where am I, will it be an idea
crazy
an idea with hair
or maybe I do not have the slightest idea or
maybe that’s the idea
or can I have an idea circling or
a great idea
brainstorm with an idea of ​​under
consumption and he killed us because I draw the
low energy consumption change
character
last minute idea is coming to
the last one an idea more the straight line
a little idea
an idea pump come bring the counter
discounting there pee pee an idea
original the great idea
and so were endless ideas look at
the concepts that appear in the
drawing not the concept of infinity in the
infinite idea
this idea real good idea silly idea
this and good that job was occupying
all your afternoon
and he infected the rest of the family
because we all started to suggest ideas and
how could he represent them later?
He charges them and put them not
true and I think it would give the wealth of
that single experience to formulate all
a talk and seeing this and what he could
to have left and what came out but I
I want to rescue mainly the fact
that our daughter could have been
experienced her that sometimes in front of
that stagnation that is boredom
that nothing what we need is to give a
step and start letting ideas
appear and when we let that do
we the great ones also the
creativity can take us to places
unthinkable not only in state
emotional but also geographically
we can end up falling in any
country in a short time and do things
unthinkable
we as parents opted for
encourage creativity is like our
bet with our children
but I also have to say that I see with
worry that many guys today
this they can access a training
that allows them to be the leaders of
companies or governments within a few
decades are being formed in environments
very uncreative as they are going to be
then to know what to do with everything
that life put in their hands
after those 30 years I study how they are going
to do to manage everything that
they have
but
returning say those reflections
with respect to me to my childhood and how
I lived, the creative was very present
because as many I think that as the
mostly I had a childhood a childhood
difficult was beautiful but I had to live
in a complicated context
complicated in the sense of deficiencies
economic difficulties in the sense of
painful losses at an early age
we lived in a rural context which
It has many advantages but also
you have the disadvantage of being
disconnected technology
there was not much technology either
talking about 40 years ago almost internet
phones or television just that
there was an east channel that did not transmit
all day either no
in that context creativity was my
shelter and it was also the door that I
allowed me to explore my
potentials for example
at that time it was used that all
neighborhood kids play together is not
true today is already more difficult because of the
insecurity but at that time we played
all together but I was the most
little one the least
and played a lot but many times the
I was excluded because, like you
will know the little ones sometimes we
we put half charges or they say it
being those who are older brothers here
in the room and they had to play with the
smaller so I had a little left
excluded
but there in those moments of solitude my
dad taught me how to draw he taught me to
preparing myself to the trees I went knowing
the trees creating fantasy worlds and
I also knew reading the passion for
Reading reading comics
comics of warrior superheroes
and since I liked to draw, I drew
superheroes at an early age without
know I started to master the anatomy
human being that was one of the bases of what
that today is my artistic path but
thanks to having an adult that
reason and the possibility of developing
the creativity
good also as we were a family
very large
very large
the examples that I had were
there were very good examples and
examples not so good but also for
see things from another angle already in
that age can tell me that a
bad example is not something that I have to
repeat doing bad example is a perfect
good example of what I do not want
do or be when I’m an adult or when
be bigger
well then keep growing always
with that perspective of seeing things from
another point and it is industrial school I am
physical education teacher I participated
in many youth groups this green or
marriage the children and all that is
He was combining and shaping what
I am today
then I today affirmed that the
creativity is no longer my refuge today is
one of my strengths because it helped me
be who I am today
and when when I think about our
boys in our children not only those who
we have children our children
I think that creativity is one of the
greater legacies that we can leave more
beyond knowledge beyond
money we have to work for that
because I am convinced that it is
fundamental to be forming our
identity
because it allows us
go integrating all the memories
form and emotions
give them a sense that helps us not
only in everyday life if not
reconciles with our history and we
allows us to stop in the present and say
here I am and I understand I have all this
it has a meaning someone told me one day
because those sculptors and I say it
because not to be would be to deny all my
history today I have to be a sculptor
if at other times the circumstances
they combine different ones more
parts that make up to be something else but
Today I have to be a sculptor
and here is a fundamental point of the
regarding creativity that sometimes
we despise it and we believe that
it only serves to solve things of
everyday life or being able to sell better
a product or entertain
but if it were only that one can
hire a creative that will solve
all the problems that you think for one and
would be happy but we see that we do not
it works that we do not see it nobody is happy
just for hiring someone who
solve everyday problems what
What we need is to know more things
deep but nobody can hire
someone to tell you who is
I can not hire someone I
tell me who I am because what I am and
here I do a part like that philosophical type
what I am does not depend on what things
good or bad happened to me in life
nor the amount of titles or things
that you see let’s say neither the awards nor the
money what defines me is what I do with
everything is how I make all of that
interact in a positive way to
generate a unique being
I you somebody remembers that I ‘m not
without shoes
today nobody learned anything else if you
they go to the conference without shoes
they have something more or less interesting for
say ten minutes from the nobody
look at the feet so do not worry
for buying shoes
worry because they are going to say
this
good telling them that creativity we
It allows integrating everything lived because
if we are integrating the
things in our life we started to have
a fragmented personality when this
We started getting sick happens
the anguish begins
and good and it gets complicated things
because it hurts us we damage
us to us as I also said
the previous speaker we’re out there
trying to drop what we do not like or
what bothers us and we do not realize
that the key is not just to release the key
is to integrate is to incorporate is to assume and
grow and creativity allows us
do that interaction is that more
deeply
especially today that we are in a
context as they spoke in the first
talk in a vertiginous change and
continuous we do not have anything sure that
be I am standing here and here something happens
and I go back and the red circle is no longer
I have no roof we live like in a
existential weather
‘we have
discovered and invented more things from the
that we are able to use wisely not
they seem to notice that we have
technology that promises us
and save time because they facilitate us
the tasks that I know but I wonder
and I ask you that time that
we save where is
to be a monkey
who has that time who has left
so something something is missing in
all this we have invented many things
but we are not using creativity
to see how to use them wisely
note that for example a person from
50 years that he dedicated not 70 years let’s say
that he dedicated 50 years of his life to training
that has all the titles and all the
training in any science field
suddenly it may be obsolete today
is to become horses as they said
before because there is already a machine that
You can do all of that in less time without
to get sick
apart cheaper for a company
develop a machine that pay you the
studies to a person for 50 years
it’s faster and the machine does not die
do not get sick do not ask for a license
so
I am convinced that we have to
develop more creativity for
to be able to adapt especially in this
time where the one that does not adapt anymore
it is outside but sometimes it will be outside
it’s not so bad because if it happens to you like
I happened to be me as a kid
out there is sometimes the opportunity to
create your own reality that is not
an impossible reality is a reality
that you were not seeing only
and now
and leave the circle I ‘m going to come to
this side
and here I have to go talking while
I put things on because otherwise there is no
a lot of silence but good life is going
giving this things experiences
let’s accumulate knowledge memories
many of the experiences have to
see directly with decisions that
We were taking us in different
moments are not consequences of
our decisions
but there are many others not that
let’s say how to bounce not us
we have nothing to do with finding ourselves in
that situation
let’s say that
they are like a side effect you have to
we have to assume
but what we can not not assume is what
I told them before we do that
that life is putting us in the hands
for example I now life is
giving some reinforced shoes for
protection
these are anti-cut legs because they do not
I think it’s very good that a person
one leg is cut in a 3
and
I also have a pair of gloves there
I’m going to do the famous trick of cutting in
two a person with the chainsaw
so I’m going to need a volunteer
from the public please
the insurance covers everything the same is not
worry
not taking up the subject and seriously speaking
now that I’m finishing equipping me
life was putting me a lot of things in
the way
I took them all
and I decided that inside other things
what I do are sculptures, so let’s go
to do something to see what comes out
[Music]
there is no one inside do not worry
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
today what I do brought me here
you, if I’m not mistaken, you have
delivered a have in your hand a
little piece of wood or in your pocket in
your wallet I do not know where that is
little piece of wood until the week
last was part of this trunk
let’s say that in your previous configuration
they were a tree
and today
my intention is that it be in your hands my
hope that it was here and you
take something a bit
a challenge an idea
an illusion
and they also have the paper with some
of the ideas of the drawing of Lucia I do not know
if they found them in the drawing for
make them remember that to have an idea
creative many times the only thing
what to do is let the ideas go
showing up even though they’re crazy
crazy or with hair
and there exists another version of the end
from the tale of walking trees in
reality is another possible translation
why
translated it differently and says that
the people we are if in fact
walking trees
but that we can move from one side to the
another without losing our identity
as long as we remember what they are
our roots
