I want to start by presenting you with
an amazing piece of statistics that
keeps thrilling me every time I think
about it have you ever thought what are
the odds of a person like me or anyone
else in this room to be born and the
movement of time were born to the family
we are born with a DNA we abort
attention it’s one to four hundred
trillion mind-blowing figure isn’t it
we actually had miserable chances to be
brought to this life yet we rarely
appreciate that during all day we’re
having great ideas that could
potentially change the world positively
affect people’s life with something
significant and global yet we never
think about us being unique about
concentrating on our strengths and most
importantly on what we want from life
and our cells when I was a child I was
dreaming about becoming a psychologist
because the idea of exploring and trying
to analyze people’s minds and explai
them wrong to me since so thrilling and
intriguing to me while I ended up with
PhD in engineering one of my favorite
things remained analyzing people around
me yet I didn’t know back then that a
person who really needs to be analyzed
was me it was eighteen months ago when
our team was working 80 hours a week to
finally launch our product we had met a
great milestone and worked that day for
12 hours I came home everybody was
asleep I was very excited and at my best
I sit there by myself I was alone and a
thought came to me what would I tell to
my eight-year-old self if I met her
today now that I am 34 I post that was
going to be a very important and Chell
statement I want to make I would tell
her be living yourself believe in your
dreams in your aspirations in your
thoughts try take time to analyze
yourself to accept yourself as you are
you will love yourself more and be a
better yourself Wow
I still remember myself sitting there in
silence and resembling on my life path
and relationship with myself being
graced in a posterity environment where
kids didn’t get as much praise as they
do today we were taught at school and at
home to always work hard on bad stuff to
correct bad stuff and be better and a
second thought came to me how would I
feel as an 18 year old girl who was the
only one to be chosen from her
university to participate in an exchange
program in the United States who
excelled at her univer new University
got enrolled in president’s class
traveled half America how would she felt
if she believed in herself more with no
regret at all but with more pragmatic
view over my life path I can clearly
state that there would be achievements
that could come earlier be more
significant in sense of living my dreams
more vivid thank God I was an eighty
back then so I had a lot of time to
start my journey of self-discovery
self-awareness and I started to read a
lot of books articles watch videos to
understand how people who had the same
idea as I did started their self
journeys and after doing this I have
articulated and defined for myself what
it means to have a good relationship
with yourself and I want to share with
you it is looking at yourself clearly
without any filters understanding who
your arms understanding what you want
accepting yourself as you are there’s a
great quote from one of my favorite
movies the most exciting challenging and
significant relationships at all is the
that you have with yourself and there
are a number of reasons that this is
true and I’m going to talk about three
of them the first reason we do not see
things as they are we see things as we
are and it is as true as it now I’m
standing here on this stage if we are
met it we’re set
we’re demotivated or angry we cannot
look at things no matter how bright they
are the way we’re supposed to do what to
do except that you’re a human being try
to understand the reason and eliminate
it is that your significant others your
parent your friend your boss except that
both of you are humans and move forward
don’t let this negative stuff affect on
your perception of life the second
reason as I said we are taught to
concentrate more on our weaknesses
rather than strength there’s a great
quote from Albert Einstein that states
if you judge a fish by its ability to
climb a tree it will live it’s whole
life believing that it’s stupid
yet we almost always judge ourselves
based on our weaknesses I was working
for one of the biggest financial
organizations in the world and I
happened to participate in a great
off-site event in Athens Greece there
were there were professionals from all
over Europe and a great session on
people management but before the session
all participants were required to take
Clifton strengths assessment tests to
identify our top five strengths because
the whole session was built on people
management and team management through
strength rather than through witnesses
while I still work on improving myself
to date I know more rely on my strengths
rather than weaknesses the third one and
this is my favorite do you know who will
betray cheat on and treat unfairly the
most exactly it’s us to stop doing this
if we want to have harmony in life we
need to have harmony with ourselves how
this is achieved by being fair because
at the end of the
it’s all about being feared they open to
ourselves to our fears our passions our
mind and soul if we have failed in
something we need to accept and move
forward and work hard not to do it the
next time Walt Disney and its start of
his career was told that he lacked
natural talent can you believe it then
he went on to win 22 Academy Awards
Abraham Lincoln was a total failure he
failed in business he failed in he lost
eight elections but then he went on to
win and to become 16th president of the
United States but what is the impact of
having a good relationship with yourself
having good levels of self-awareness for
your life I’m going to present some of
the areas career advancement for past
several years I have been actively
involved in HR and personal and career
developing areas I now have a lot of HR
and recruiters in my network and a lot
of data to analyze to our startup and I
can clearly state that employers now are
looking for are preferring employees
with higher self awareness level
employees with better relationships with
themselves
why because self-awareness is about
maturity and this is something employers
are looking for better the second area
better relationships with others for 75
years Harvard University track emotional
and physical well-being of 700
individuals the conclusion that was
presented by dr. Robert wahlburger
psychiatrist and director of adults our
development unit at Harvard University
stated that concluded steps people who
had better relationships in their lives
with other people lived longer happier
and healthy
let’s think about it if we do not think
if we do not look at things the way they
are but rather the way we are so
appraising we call eagle how that
effects on relationships with other the
third one being in a better relationship
with yourself will making new friends
will expand your network how if you
start to explore yourselves this will
put closer to people who are like-minded
– like-minded people who will easier to
help you in your self discovery process
the fourth and the last one you will
feel it’s happier why because making
time to explore and understand yourself
will keep you grounded and truly in
touch with what really matters in your
life to sum up I can clearly state that
my achievements for the past eighteen
months were a lot more significant
compared to past five years and I wanted
to sum up to finish my talk with a
remarkable quote from Rumi they love to
repeat alive and I think it truly
embraces and reflects on the points I
wanted to make today yesterday
I was clever so I wanted to change the
world today and wise so I am changing
myself thank you [Applause]
