[Music]
family comb and hello my name is Mohamed
Kamel Abbas and I’m one of the
cofounders a find my adventures at
pocket and first online travel together
so if you use foodpanda
which is an ask for food or drink this
is an app for ordering tips all over
Papa so I will start with the typical
story which might not be that typical to
start with okay so this is me I’m
standing it so you have to come to my
mind Palace for this I’m standing at
16,000 feet coming down from a summit
from among licks earth which is mountain
and shimmy shall Valley Honda
so we woke up at 5 a.m. and we’re doing
the summit and we’re coming back there
is a glacier on the Left there’s a
player on the right there’s a crevasse
right in front of me so the primarily a
meteor gonococcus and we thought him a
particle embargo not a message al-kitab
I was literally crying and I had caught
up I will never come back to the
mountains again what am I even thinking
why do I even do this I’m alone I’m in
the middle of nowhere and there’s
nothing to do well why what do I even
think when I come for these expeditions
so heading to seven days I’m back in the
eighties driving in Karachi on the roads
and I think
I have decided I will but not I have
decided that whatever I will do in my
life and to be connected with the out
days has to be something which
gentleman and adventurous so again fast
forwarding to the time I was in lumps I
wind up in society and that’s where
that’s where the passion came from so if
then what happened was that I got a
intend to be called from sanchow back
the only multi-nation Banga was there in
Pakistan during my time all the others
had left so I got me into the pole
I went there I gave the interview gave
the test came back a week later got a
call they said you’re one of the few
management trainees I have been selected
this year and we’d be more than pleased
to have you join us this one to her I
progressed everything that’s in gardenia
jo aapke saamne HIV later out there and
a comfortable nobody you forget
everything I just I called up my father
and I told him that I go I got the job
at center and he’s like okay perfect
life is great we send in the corporate
environment and then you know we’ll
continue in that way maybe bully other
sub so I need okay with that I was
actually happier than ever
so again fast forwarding to sad our bank
I was doing great my my colleagues were
proud of me my bosses were proud of me I
was getting Excellence Awards with the
CEO I was doing a great job as manager I
was not unhappy but I still had that
feeling
something is missing in life something
is missing that I to do but I am NOT
doing it but I still need to realize so
what I did was I started I gathered a
few of my my colleagues from a few
seniors and a few who were my defense so
what we did was we started working on
this online title 40 and we first came
online business and what we’ll do is we
just continue working with it whether
with our jobs
hotel that’s not a problem so fast
forwarding through time I got bored from
Standard Chartered a base time is a mess
for okay you know probably a bank job
wasn’t wasn’t something I was meant to
do it’s not bad but I need
more interesting in life so what I did
was I went for a job interview at can he
clear the first into you went directly
to the MD round I entered the room I had
the MD of cream genetic ball sitting
right in front of me and he was he was
just looking at me not talking to be
staying at me and he saw me in a suit so
he went like are you out of your mind
manic actually sorry I think you did he
care I look good I don’t know what the
problem is he was like have you even
seen what’s written on your CV have you
ever gone through you’re seeing yourself
and I guess I think the treatments are
good I’m doing a good job I graduate
well he’s like no you’re not meant for
this you not meant for this at all I
think you’re doing it all wrong
so for a minute he had me there I also
put a field work a push to another
camera for sure and then the next thing
you said was that you’re trying to move
from a boring job to a less boring job
which will become boring for you in a
while so what’s to better be a nice
color that you really do need to do
something about yourself to occupy a
world what you’re made for also – simple
yeah but of course not but I’ll look at
them but you never really listen to them
but that did shake me off a bit
Minnesota
okay okay let’s think about it why not
so he he gave me he gave me a task he
said okay write me an email give me
twenty reasons why you’d want to join
cream and not start your own business
other than agape if you leave whenever
they are sadly get me I said XYZ he said
okay ask your parents to give you X
ask your siblings to give you Y I will
give you this edge and why not we pay
you the same amount of money and you
start your own business and you leave
this Monica okay that’s not fair so
again fast for in due time I was writing
that email and I feel like there was not
even one reason why no John – what John
cream they would 20 more than more than
50 reasons I have wanted to join why do
my own stuff so then what happened was
then the journey started you have the
opmod a realized oh yeah that it there
is no going back to a nine-to-five job
there is only one case I need to go to
that statue in my own thing is the
Menace for theatre so now what happened
was that once you decide that what you
need to do there is the first value that
comes to you that is fear okay
how would you fear the body another
issue the moment you you are thinking of
doing something big thinking of
something that might change your life
I’ll collect Raggedy obligate the silly
and I but otherwise this is no okay okay
other another except that’s the place
where fear comes from so now my first
fear was connected this pressure that is
the second barrier that I will discuss
with you specially my society my care is
family pressure there is taboo and the
communal pressure what’s up coach Mel
Blasi edge where it makes a pressure
cooker out of you do it then puts that
many beliefs and a frustration say again
so what happened was that first of all a
hospitality to appear for fini
so basically when you’re talking about
fear you need to realize what fear is
itself and how you need to face it
fear is something that you need to face
face to face attend your subtract it off
you have the awkward delegate you leave
it there there’s two main aspects of
fear you need to tackle it number one
you need to calculate because if you are
fear fearful and not CLS you will never
achieve anything in your life and number
two is that if you’re a fearless leader
because they can’t about make a counter
or say you have ten other people who are
following you and if they see that their
leader is fierce fearful and not see
unless they will never do anything which
you can’t do so which is already images
appear and how you really tackle fear is
make it there is nothing in life which
is impossible for you what you need to
do is you always need to break down
thing okay when I say big bouncing it
means if you have a certain fear it is
because of
certain point that you’re thinking in
mind so for example but I was thinking –
I’m in a job Tony and I need to start my
own thing
maybe then I would yes yes I see a
number of things
how will I earn what if it fails what
delay what will I tell my parents scared
three minutes enough each for the
average of many studies in the Mexican
state of Sonora so these were the things
that needed to be answered but you see
if you have all the answers then you are
nothing to fear of so what happened was
that I listed all my fears vinegar
kachanov it shows another yoga students
understanding is the Cuyahoga Community
of a loose cable society caregiver yoga
this is all of that and then prepared
myself to be a Buddha question there I
am fearless I am going to do this I’m
very confident kay I will take this step
bus queue first Fonterra I come from an
army’ bedroom and the office I’m a
retired girl but no now questioning give
you kind of feel much better because at
pockets okay okay happy to have the body
butterr love you
so I still remember the first day I went
to my father and I and I asked him okay
and I told him so I asked Niassa you
need to take a seven you do it for false
may I ask the other question order so I
went to my father and I fell asleep I
will come dining table with and I feel
like I am doing my job so so I be
exactly one family okay
and in left and event but we can take a
room mess this kept happening for four
six seven days six seven days my even
together when I’m Shoni / – totally yeah
yeah okay take care
so good money clapping against the tiny
corner the why not
but dysentery way so I wrote a letter
and an email then better than of the
palm the tables Alexia and email of the
many will make it and then I waited I
meant to God Karen Iago romance a
question exists here when I got a has
you read the letter or the email use
like in my a vivo
approval maybe a bit meh upon depending
review him so when I opened anybody
could you come over later and then there
is one thing if you ever need to
convince her parents take them on a
karate road trip
osmium go Battaglia defensive alignment
essentially helpless carnelian traffic
which makes opening a testicles
inaugural I think that Jefferson Academy
so here they have no other option other
than listen to you he many people is
3050 and I was very confident I said I
will I will convince him and what
happened was here but he underwear he
was ready to listen to me when he asked
me to our presentation but now I felt
additions or was it so what’s your plan
I was like okay no fog whenever Bonet
and idea is to him and then finally he
was commended katika do it but it’s your
decision so basically what happened then
a member of it does reason of well sonic
I agree you know you can leave it next
day but as a nation at a watchmaker and
whatever font yeah I was like I won’t
resign he’s like okay but yeah cameo my
name is Ayaka I’m doing this and they
were very encouraging so one thing that
that I witnessed and experienced
throughout my journey was that the
people around me were encouraging
generally either we decided that Picasso
you need to block that discouragement
out of your head agar aapko pata I guess
swallowed big masquerade or they follow
big muscular prepare again however he
came 40 bad effects funny here if you
need to do what you want to do okay
this third barrier which is very
important for me and I think it is it is
the most important thing in for him
especially is patience
I’m look as well as a nation be very
frustrated because we have a lot of
problems then be happening it busy my
hair paneling a security never with
generally very sensible things to go
first a Senate with to impatience and
that
impatience it leads to you not handling
pressure and you not handling fear
correctly but look other Marshall as
much as I am very patient and that’s why
I think that has helped me a lot I think
for everyone to to know K up were there
a chat mr. meadow it will never be short
term a little short term achievement and
they would be happy about it because you
have to think in the long term or abject
patients get through searching you’re
okay I’ve got suppose menopause busload
Mejia a travel portal book an idea so I
don’t have to I don’t need to give up
and say well I certainly our shallow
rapid on let’s go home no you need to
have patience and you need to think
about everything in the long term which
is where vision comes in so BB often
sees when a so – are you thinking about
starting something you thinking about
taking the steps believe that’s where
your vision comes in
so there are few people as follow and
one of my mentors they told me that
failure is not an option this will
happen Astoria say I can say that’s the
day you will probably fail because if
this is a fallback option in your mind
you will always take a fellow other gay
men you know I will fall back on that
option but take figure out maybe we can
fail in the sanity of the nationally
there is nothing known as failure in
your mind you you think if this happens
and this leads to the following
circumstance only that I will fail I
send my favorite is nothing on as
failure TK when you fall wouldn t he you
have to get up again
okay the next thing I would yes so you
need to focus
give the haughty basic you name these
four things are probably the most basic
things you’ve ever heard in your life
who all the weight and you need to
follow them only and one thing I would
probably differentiate on his fear and
patience
some people say the females Rudy has
ever but I baby in here that patience I
would say patience is good why because
creative when you become impatient up
with Isabella pet and and you because
this is a that fear is when you are
going from point A to point B are you
doing something you need to if you need
to do something that stops you from
doing it but patience is something that
you will probably need one after that
materialism Kalia but patience offered
maybe let me t about maybe that name I
will just end up with story
so while they’re doing online portal
bookings I am also I also work with
backpackers all over the world and this
backpacker called the book backpacker he
brings people to Pakistan so he’s one of
my partners in this work and what he was
that happened recently was I on on
betrayed he had brought in sixteen
people from all over the world Dutch
British Australian South African people
from the US and if I am forgetting
someone as a Ukrainian as well so what
really happened was that when they came
to Pakistan they were on a decoration
book a perfectly we are backpackers but
this will be and last attacking Jenny
because what we have heard was Pakistan
is horrible and probably we need to we
need to end here who this hotel if again
the journey as we said all over the
world this will end in Pakistan and when
they came here they saw gates with
completely different country Muslim okay
it’s bigger than the whole thing okay
it’s clean even on the cry they didn’t
see any blood so where is the violence
where the wireless we will we be here
enough and we need to we need to see it
take no there’s no there’s no such thing
as buoyancy Ferguson right now and the
people at great
so what happened was that when this trip
ended I realized what I am doing for
myself and my country and that day I
realize that even if now even if
tomorrow I say I will fail I realized
that I wanted which was always wanted to
do
