imagine you’re working in the office
cubicle preparing for reports out to
report what do you hear snapping of a
pain pages turning and flipping imagine
now what can you hear if you’re standing
a central stage in a hole in second
value getting ready for your first
investor pitch what do you hear your own
breath running short the crowd
chit-chatting I buried myself in the
sand of Anna’s pagers beeping and
trilling until I will discover the sound
that resonate with my true million
yourself I working a big culprit and
turned into an entrepreneur in the small
stalham the copied life was saved easy
and smooth simply follow instructions
and mcmullen operation improvement all
the things the efficiencies deliver ball
sticking to rules and procedures of much
higher priority than innovations the
entrepreneur life was rocky had and
noisy have new attempt I’ve made big
mistakes I fall I reflect a stand on my
feet again looking back it was my
constant failure that pushed me to
innovate should everyone just follow the
same set route and procedures we start
taking and deliver innovations how it’ll
grow become you walk out of the room
with the race to become a better more
meaningful south it’s a whole corner
great city with such a low tax rate low
crime rate and such a free economy yet
think about how many innovations get
created in Hong Kong over the past
decades this would be candid or a
leading octopus cards or optical fiber
Hong Kong fell over the last four
consecutive years while I was pressing
upon fell over most of the time in terms
of the global innovation index by Cano
university when more of us want to take
their safe smooth road we are creating
less innovation to society and less
momentum for the society to Prince to a
new heights individually we think we
will not fail so collectively we are
failing and society the young
generations has great ideas but how many
how many are willing to step out to be
the first to be the divergent to do
something bold and truly different just
a handful of you and why because with
one and the only reason not to fail
we’re bigger than who we Syria be
licking yourself explore the explosive
of that you can make the society truly
amazing you walk out of the room with
three ways to become a better bigger and
Bray the self up experiment is over the
years and this is straight my life skill
for the 21st century number one start we
affect on your childhood close your eyes
for five seconds how does your journey
of course looks like your parents proper
path for you or did they let you venture
into something truly bold and different
do feel flash for whatever your parents
have for you my parents practice a
totally bad printed example by today’s
standard I’m utterly should join in
passing I’ll lose at the start of the
race today’s Christ will proper concise
path for their kids making them more
accomplished my parents just exercised
free-range parenting I was just like
free-range chicken running a run on the
farm aimlessly but yet if there is their
pranking style that makes me more
independent and create give me more
independent this ensured power at young
age I get to choose my high school by
popular and get
is that my first and last publishing
business at primary school doing back in
white magazine with my best friend yet
think about how many know when you see
parents and with their kids when they’re
at the park and the restaurants are on
public transport I heard a million don’t
know every day but I heard it when you
see of kids make a funny face know where
it is type in a window know when you see
a kids pick up bag full of grass nerve
you should know we take away the leaners
one curiosity the basis of learning the
foundation of courage in a confidence to
make new trial where new innovations may
get created is the curiosity that makes
a person extraordinary as Albert
Einstein says I’m neither very clever or
especially gifted I’m just very very
curious please hold on to a curiosity in
spite of any communications you face in
a real world in a recent speech by the
Stanford University’s former dean some
freshman says that parents are ruining
their child by epidemic of overparenting
every freshman is more accomplished in
the last their SATs go a little higher
that gps goal is a little higher there
were stories and noble but never in
Stanford history has so many freshmen
parents calling to discuss their
students complications on teachers
situations this problem is done from
helicopter parenting that like a need to
scoping of bonsai tree that if you marry
create the right way with these kids
certain classes ace the rape has a
master the most impressive part time
you’ve become what car they just want to
see sadly this epidemic is spreading
we’re seeing less and less of a curious
mind but mothers who is following a set
route and procedures we all have a role
to play for next generation education
staff
half of each one of us when you say
simple but beautiful things the kids
like well done show me more how do you
do this you make them more confidence to
make new accounts in my work as an
education app developer we have an
innovative way to do up there cause
Kier’s curiosity and self-efficacy is
crucial we encourage kids to fail and
encourage them to navigate the journey
of failure after we affect on your
pastel what is the present safety start
small start by folding take small steps
before taking match strikes take a total
idiot bus ride home total total stranger
I begin on my journey since I was two
years old my mum enhancement busy
shopping and a home a pole or dry super
story shouting as job male 3 kilometers
a lot 42 years old close up to a scruffy
opulent 47 falls into a totally new
place it was the first ever journey of
my life and he was perhaps of failure
because I lost my family for over six
hours but he leaves me with a good story
to laugh over after the case more step

different embrace failure yet have your
angles were fooling around your head
