I believe that being truthful to
yourself brings good to the world every
person has the right to be unique and
yet we fail to be ourselves we fail to
let our children be who they are this is
a journey to inspire you how to get
closer to yourself in order to fully
live and play your role in this life and
let me be clear the button set has been
switched on since you were a child
childhood is very short especially if
you want to live to 100 like I do well
I’m not sure if other around me would
agree with that
who else wants to live to a hundred
okay well medicine and technology are
allowing us today to live to a hundred
years but reaching a hundred is not
enough
who wants a great life well yes this is
how I explain childhood to my children
hundred years are like ten fingers every
finger represents a decade childhood
means one and an half finger this is a
very short period we are allowed to be
children well you still have the second
half of the second other half of the
second finger but then you’re a kind of
a hybrid especially too old for this
kind of finger explanation well eight
years and a half of adulthood and yet
our full essence is concentrated in the
one and an half finger full essence is
there in our childhood and what we love
to play as a child as a child I loved to
play theater so much I wanted to go to
drama school
I knew what I wanted playing theater was
entirely me and it was what I loved most
do you see this head well surely you
cannot look inside but my head stood in
the way
curious girl smart student she’s gonna
become a lawyer what happened to me is
rather banal it happens to a lot of us I
chose to choose what was expected of me
the young woman listening to the child
in her was not being hurt at 28 I became
a general manager well I told you brainy
stuff inside well real adulthood status
I was sure competent and making things
better but is this it was the main
feeling I had it felt a bit like playing
the role of a general manager well
wasn’t that what I wanted Parenthood two
baby girls one born on Atherton of
January and another one born on the 14th
of January I will let you figure out how
that is possible a typical female
dilemma arises how was I going to be a
great mom and a great professional well
banal again men seem to be less bothered
by this but are they really Superman
well this superwoman chose to opt out of
the traditional working world what could
I do to organize work in a more creative
way I labeled myself as an inventor of
other ways of working and set up my own
company we say that the greatest things
are born out of personal frustration and
I agree but there is more to it my tree
strong natural born challenge her
creativity were at work
but I didn’t know it at a time when you
were a child did your parents tell you
what to play or were you free to cut the
hair of your favorite baby doll and make
it tent under the Christmas dining table
well who those who are parents do you
oblige your children to play with the
games you chose normally we adults we do
not force our children to play with the
games we chose does it sound scary well
it is what we do years later as our
children grow older we influence we
guide them towards a future of roleplay
we think we know better but we do not
listen to their emotions we guide them
towards diplomas for the sake of
security status and money we did not
tell our little children what to play we
shouldn’t tell them what role to play in
life because too many times it ends up
in roleplay well society and the school
system they kind of guide us towards
being competent and maybe competent and
happy too many of us put ourselves
between brackets because we are taught
to be competent and thus maybe roleplay
well maybe there is another way there is
a solution
remember to one and a half finger a
child is pure and natural a playing
child is where it wants to be where it
needs to be where it chooses to be the
games you play are an expression of who
you are
energy vitamin is the nickname I got
when I was a student I can tell you that
two years ago the energetic and playful
person I normally am was not feeling
like a playing child well do you have
that sometimes too like you feel that
something is wrong but you cannot really
pinpoint what exactly well besides being
too much in my head being the
trustworthy consultant I was not fully
expressing my thirteen strong
natural-born talents everything is
already there everything is in the
one-and-a-half inger and yet we fail to
recognize it we fail to mate make the
ten the intangible tangible so my
intuition just told me follow the guide
of being a child and play and playing
games because you will get out of your
zone of discomfort by this so let me
share a bit of that experience with you
take one the two baby girls well they’re
grown up almost grown-up adults they’re
teenagers today childish ones I’m not
supposed to tell you this mirror mirror
on the wall why are children worse and
Snow White stepmother why do children
confront us so much with ourselves
because they know where they have to be
because they just are it is the purest
form of humanity take two as an adult
make space to let the child and you come
out on a cold Saturday I found a perfect
excuse to play like a child
reverse day our children played that
they were the parents they were washing
our dirty pile of clothes they were even
irony and cooking spaghetti that was
the easy one after four hours they gave
up role-playing parent was a nice to try
but not funny me and my husband didn’t
ask to stop you know we were really
enjoying playing like children
so really roleplay like role-playing a
child is a great experience adults love
it
children a little bit less but don’t
tell them just check it out
so children empower me when I play like
a child I’m empowered but what about
that little girl I was and that loved to
play with so many games take tree hi my
name is Bridget Peters I want an
analysis of my natural-born talents and
I want to become an analyst myself why
am i standing here today in front of you
because I believe that being truthful to
yourself brings good to the world the
impact of the analysis is standing in
front of you tree strong natural born
challenge links to expressing myself are
at play and I’m enjoying it this amazing
person called Danielle found it there is
a clear link between what you love to
play as a child and what makes you happy
as an adult 25 years of hard empiric
evidence made the intangible tangible I
believe in intrinsic motivation whether
you’re motivated or whether you’re not
do you know about a person that is half
motivated that’s maybe called comfort
zone I also believe in clarity and
sometimes our competencies meaning what
you have learned at school or by
experience they hide away the clarity we
already have inside of us so let me ask
you to close your eyes for a few seconds
please we’re going back in time
you’re eight years old maybe nine or ten
what are you playing
are you inside are you outside or maybe
maybe your boat what toy do you hold in
your hand who is with you do you hear
yourself laughing doing it again feel
the joy of that kid you were because
this is where your energy life this is
who you are please let me ask you to
come back people fear change we need to
pay bills what if you could pay more pay
more bills or even more expensive bills
because you stopped working you start
playing now future is very unpredictable
soon we will have to collaborate with
robots and a robot might be as competent
as you are our future is unpredictable
but our past say something about
predictability the difference between
you and the robot is your personality
proudly human means being entirely
yourself being truthful to yourself play
teaches us a lot about who we are and
what good we can bring to the world it
is never too late to live a happy
childhood
[Applause]
