The dream at the road’s end | Wojtek Ziemnicki | TEDxSciencesPoCampusDijon


hello few years ago I made the salt back

to around Ison and this experience has

taught me a lot about myself about the

world and it was something like a

guideposts for the rest of my life and

now I would like to share this

fascinating experience with you I come

from Poland in Poland I’m a lawyer but

not about love I would like to tell you

I would like to explain you how our

dreams work in our success what dreams

are for I would like to talk about

dreams about passion about courage in

our lives my journey has lasted eleven

days and I had ridden done almost 1500

kilometres through desert and almost

uninhabited area and this journey has

influenced my life and it was awesome

for two reasons firstly it took place

shortly after the eruption of 1 August

and ok knows which is called the HFA

code you may have heard of this eruption

it was broadcast in European media in

2010 it’s the same volcano which

paralyzed the traffic in 2010 over

Europe by the way the the second night I

spent a night hand around 340 meters

from the volcano as a matter of fact a

the volcanic ash layer was knee-high

within two hundred two meters distance

from the volcano at the time so

imagine it but a the other reason for

being my juggling extraordinary was my

illness

I’ve been suffered from multiple

sclerosis for 1516 years and it’s a

nervous system disease whatever it’s not

nice but on the first person on the

world with such a disease to have

written a along around Iceland and

despite suffering from multiple

sclerosis are just trying to read an

active life to read normal life to

pursue my life goals 214 my dreams my

ambitious and now I would like to ask

you what dreams are for you know Romney

three let me find the answer for that

question it was something like a

conversation with myself you must like

yourself to travel alone believe me and

as I was alone all day long and I could

feel fully above the world values

priorities and you you must know when

traveling through Iceland you must fight

with two factors the basic factors of

Iceland whether I’m in the wind and the

rain and and I was asking myself those

night nice experience I thought I was

asking myself why or why I was doing

this what this physical effort had to do

with the ring above the lonely

experience traveling through Iceland and

I know it now after after the after the

journey

and you must know you know the – for

your dreams you must stack rifice

yourself it needs your devotion your

engagement and the way to achieve the

success they achieve a goal is very

often difficult and I was preparing

myself for half a year to fourth in my

dream and it lasted only only 11 days

people you know people realised climbing

the Everest preparation to such an

expedition last many months or even

years and they spend on the summit on

the big 5 10 15 minutes so I’m asking

you why do they do it why do they try

mountains and I know it now my answer is

that we have dreams only to fulfill them

that’s all only to fulfill them but I

know it in perspective of many years you

know hmm dreams are something special in

our lives but the way to fulfill it is

very very strong and Barroso needs a

long way and the hard word hey you know

what his name said one time if you drink

something you can do it John my Trapper

I wrote about 100 150 a kilometers with

32

luggage each day and I told you when

traveling through Iceland you must fight

with two factors with the wind and the

rain and it’s raining I think all the

time and the wind is blowing all the

time believe me it speeds up above the

Scotland and and then it flows very

strong in Iceland and it flows down only

in cleaner and there is no place to hide

from the wind doesn’t know tree so my

son so you must you must fight and in

death Tenere I have fought with my great

dream about Iceland however I realized

it after I had returned home so the way

to achieve a goal is very often

difficult and cannot be seen at first

time we know it in perspective of many

miles or even years so mm but it’s worth

to do it you know why because for sweet

you know each of us has his own Everest

it’s a goal to achieve everybody goes

there my goal wasn’t right by bike and

around ice and wasn’t bike 1000 and 500

kilometers the thing is that they’re all

leading around Iceland it’s 1,000

500 kilometres long so but I wanted to

to do it the 14 my dream and dreams you

must know dreams makes access and they

are the way to achieve it

Napoleon said use the one more thing

patience persistence and sweat make a

unique combination of success so at the

beginning there are dreams and later

there is only a hard work and a long way

to fulfill them and I I told you about

the wind the rain I told you about my

disease I had to fight and now I would

like to some words about the fear people

asked me hey did I feel fear during my

journey and I will tell you I was very

scared believe me really scared and I

think only idiot don’t scare it’s a

human nature to feel fear it’s normal

but we should do everything believe me

everything what is possible to make use

of fear instead of letting it paralyzes

so you need to be courageous when I

think of carnage and I don’t think about

the soul by touring around Iceland it’s

a normal but I think about courage in

your life you should live with passion

it was my actually my traveling passion

made me going to Iceland I wanted to see

this country maybe not by bike from from

the bike but I wanted to go

the end so we need to be courageous I’m

talking about a person one of Polish

cultures so forget it said that

everything starts with passion with

dreams and passion brings the

professionalism the professionalism

gives you the quality and the quality is

a luxury nowadays and I agree with him

at all so your passion is a source of

perfection so we we need three things I

think to make a success first you need

to dream and live with your dreams you

need to be courageous to start

fulfilling your dreams and thirdly we

need to do it don’t say do it

ex-president of the United States of

America during his presidential campaign

say said yes we can and now I’m telling

you yes you can believe me yes you can

fulfill your dreams keep fulfilling your

dreams live with passion be courageous

and lead a happy life thank you you
