at mi presentación an english pero de
vida una sorpresa kostenko preparada al
final no tengo murder media hello good
morning everyone firstly I would like to
thank the Ted theme for organizing this
incredible event thank you all for
dedicating your time listening to others
it is an extremely valuable skill that
you all here have and I feel like
there’s currently a lack of this within
society thank you very much for this
invitation as I’m probably the youngest
speaker here today my main objective is
that you’ll have a great time whilst I
try and explain what I have learned and
welcome soon as I have reached through
specific experiences I have lived in my
shorts 16 years of life my name is
Carlotta and I’m currently a teenager
for better or for worse i have lived
loads of experiences and when the pet
team offered me an invitation to speak
to all of you here today the first thing
I thought about was what is the title of
my presentation going to be it didn’t
take me very long to come up with a
title it is a simple term thaton gloves
the main topics I believe are worth
discussing with you today that is why I
decided to call my presentation the
journey through my talk I aim to discuss
how I feel with the things I do and how
I visualize my future to be like after
having lived a few experiences that have
shaped me into the person I am today it
is my pleasure to take you through my
journey I’ve been traveling for 16 years
which means I still have a long journey
to go through in fact we’re all
travelers here travelers / own life we
adapt to changes we learn we fail we
succeed and we mature and grow through
this journey
we meet new people and experience new
things with the final purpose of
understanding who we are I had the luck
of discovering one of my passions and a
very early stage of my life this passion
is golf sports is one of the main assets
that my parents believed was useful
towards my education as the values that
golf or many others for to teach you are
not only useful for that specific sport
but for life in general so things like
patience discipline self control honesty
respect and in my opinion most
importantly perseverance during sports
sports teach you many things and I think
that it’s very important that every
child is able to play sports because
it’s part of their growth and part of
their learning during my childhood my
parents told me to create my own path
and ask me to reflect upon three very
simple questions what do you want to
achieve what do you think you need and
what are you willing to do to achieve
this there are many well-known sports
brands that try and transmit this
message especially through their slogan
so I’m sure we all know the famous just
do it or impossible is nothing but
they’re trying to say is that there’s
only one rule to achieve what we truly
passionate about and that room is that
there are no rules simply hard work so
let’s get back to the journey during my
childhood I had very good school very
good school grades I played several
sports and I pretty much had a live very
similar to most of the people my age as
I grew up and I continue to explore what
I was what I was interested in I
realized that gold was truly my passion
so I was able to participate in
national and international tournaments
which made me feel very different to the
rest of the people my age I don’t know
if any of you here play golf but I
consider it one of the most challenging
sports because your mental strength and
how you think play a huge impact on
every single aspect of it this is why
through practice you need to learn how
to control it and this practice is not
only useful for this sport it’s useful
for any life skill that you want to
apply without realizing I was gaining
more and more self-confidence and self
control which didn’t only make me a
better golfer but a better student and a
more mature and grown up person I learnt
how to do things by my own will without
having someone on top of me telling me
you need to do this because it’s good
for your future no I did it because I
liked it and i truly believed it was
good for me and I learned a lot through
this process since I was young I like to
do things that challenged me thinks that
made me feel different from the rest of
the people my age and at the age of 14 I
had the opportunity to show what I was
capable of I came up with an idea that
allows art pieces and museums to
interact with its audience through
tweets and periscope with this idea I
want to contest a contest that allowed
me to express what I it floats off to
Twitter so I had the opportunity to
communicate directly with this company
can you imagine our 14 year old girl
presenting an original idea to the CEO
of a multinational like Twitter it was a
life-changing experience as this taught
me and I realized that these are the
things that challenge me they make me
grow and I enjoy them this also told me
that if you’re passionate and believing
your ideas
later on in my journey whilst I kept
develop a developing my communication
skills and my golf career I was given
the opportunity to interview my golf
idols by collaborating with the media
Department of European Tour interviewing
them was incredible and apart from
asking them how their girlfriend went
that day and what their strengths and
weaknesses on the course where I was
truly interested in getting to know how
they had got to where they are now as I
would like to follow their steps most of
their answers were based around one
concept hard work but one of the players
said you shouldn’t try and copy somebody
else’s path because there are many ways
of getting to the same place remember to
create your own path and always remind
yourself why you started of course
success becomes from hard work so make
sure you keep working hard in order to
achieve your goal I found this answer
truly inspiring especially when it was
coming from one of the most talented
[Music]
here we are today about to live an
unforgettable experience I love having
the opportunity to interview really good
players which are playing in Spanish
open for me this is just a drink because
I’ve always wanted to be like them and I
can’t wait to follow them sit and just
hear their advice here we are we’ve said
if you had feared we just finished his
round I well tournament are you clear
environment we’re playing the finest
often valderrama spine is open hosted by
my foundation condition Sergio Garcia so
very excited every day I noticed
talented people in fact all of the
speakers here today are filled with
passion experience and talent and after
talking to several of them I have come
to the conclusion that they all follow
very similar steps to the was required
engulfed in order to achieve their
dreams think of what you want to do what
resources do you have visualize your
surroundings prepare the best version of
yourself concentrate in what you want to
achieve and finally fill yourself with
passion all of these experiences have
led me to a conclusion in order to grow
in any single aspect of your life you
need to surround yourself with people
that are better than you and learn from
them with passion and this is why I have
brought a very special person with me
today she is a true example of being
passionate enough about something about
a dream that seemed impossible for most
of the time can you imagine a young
japanese woman who lived in a family
ruled by old traditions who is
passionate about music how far does she
have to go to make her dream become a
reality let’s welcome my friend Lamaya
on stage
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
konnichiwa Maya thank you so much for
being with us tonight today so I know
that playing the violin has always been
your dream yes so what advice would you
give all of those people that truly want
to achieve their dream well I’d say the
first thing is always trust your
intuition our gut level and because the
heart never gives you the wrong guests
so just follow your heart and be strong
and one important thing to remember is
that it doesn’t really matter what the
other people say or think about you I
know that it’s especially difficult and
when people close to you or discouraging
sometimes and which in my case is my
parents and my actual of online teacher
and he broke pretty much told me that I
was no good that I should change the
insurance but then be stubborn with your
dream and it’s okay to be stubborn and
just go for it I know that playing the
violin has always been your passion
mm-hmm but when did you actually realize
that this is what you truly wanted I
started playing with piano when I was
six years old and I don’t like to be on
wat honestly I don’t proud this door and
on a single note and my parents were
like okay she doesn’t have any musical
talent but when I talked about my best
friends bond and lesson I saw this
gorgeous instrument and I just loved
everything about it the smell the
texture they playing they were when it’s
and when you hold it and I’ve been
hooked since wow that’s impressive so we
also know that you came from a family
that based at all of the education
around old traditions so how did they
react when he told them mom dad playing
the violin is my passion yes as you can
see here my dad has a very strict face
is a typical typical Japanese someone
I’d
and who has really fixed ideas and his
definition of success was getting too
good University get a stable job and get
when i’ll get a successful job and and
he will set high my violin or things he
would tell me ok Maya you cannot make a
living out of music just musicians are
looked down upon it so it stays this and
status social status and that I should
focus on my studies and there was a big
concept for me because I wanted to get
out global of my parents and of that I
want to suffer live on in well I think
that your story and your dream is a true
example of being for several enough
about a dream that seemed impossible for
most of the time right mm-hmm ok so I
want you to imagine this situation her
passion took her to the most hidden
places you can imagine so she was a
young japanese woman with no knowledge
of the spanish language alone and she
decided to integrate into the Gypsy
culture in Granada for eight years to
learn how to play the violin and
flamenco together what did this teach
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you surprised me more and more every
time Thanks every time I hear it I like
it more ok so this experience is what
led to accomplishing your goal which was
12 you’re OCD and the city was a mixture
of flamenco and violin yes master so
this was like your goal accomplished ok
I also know I know you very well so I
know you never played the violin because
of money because you even played on the
streets so what did you learn from this
well I started first started off playing
on the streets because when I moved to
Spain it was the fastest way to get to
know people where I didn’t speak the
language and where I don’t know anyone
but then I realized that a action music
is for everyone and it’s not just for
concerts for theaters or people who can
pay for tickets and if I have the
capacity to make just one person happy
in a day through music I mean for me
that’s a mission complished and yeah
great I think I would like to think that
we’re nurses from nurses that reach
heart to heart yes definitely she’s
always told me to keep innovating as the
world is changing verifier fast and I
know she’s been doing this by a
technique through maps and what did you
do with this did you visualize what you
wanted to accomplish yes I have this
thing called life month and it’s a it’s
a little secret it’s a consistent for
all the images and words that I love
that relates to my dream and I play on
big poster and I look at it every day to
stay focused and I know that it’s very
difficult to love to keep being focused
because there’s so much temptation
curiosity no but this map is great
because it derived images right in front
of you and makes you
concentrate on what you actually want it
works on your subconscious mind and
unconscious mind and I’m on my third map
right now wow that’s great okay so I
have an idea what if we give the
audience an opportunity to discover and
think about what your passion is in this
journey whilst you play one of your
inspiring or motivational themes sure
