Why I started this career? | Firas Rhaiem | TEDxDjerba


[Music]
today I have decided to speak in English
maybe for some people that would be
difficult but I figure out that English
and language is one of the obstacles
that people fear in the future one of
the thing that with the future is the
thing that we don’t know and it’s the
thing that we are afraid of it’s
something that we cannot predict
something we don’t know
so what are the tools that we need in
order to be ready for the future
and so the title of this of today’s
speech that I chose is change your
mindset change the game what do you need
to have for something that we don’t know
every one of us has a dream as a vision
as a fraction as a goal but how can we
deliver this goal without knowing
everything every deep breathing studying
learning working partying we won’t be
able to know everything so the example I
chose today that aunt wants me to build
my startup and start my career is a nun
mask Anna mask is the co-founder of
PayPal Tesla SpaceX he’s a person he’s
an American person that he failed in his
college studies he he was dropped out
from college he used to why he was
students used to pay his college through
part in key parties he goes had to have
fun in order to pay his school so ennum
mask has a strategy which is a very
which is a magic strategy the power of
doing everything
or without knowing it he can deliver
anything once you start to do something
he will do it he will achieve it but she
does not know anything about it
he’s one of his famous idea and SpaceX
is decided to launch a rocket to the
moon they called him a crazy cat why are
we doing this
who are you to do this it didn’t work
for NASA you don’t have tons of PhDs but
why should we believe you
he created PayPal I guess every one of
us here knows PayPal and the effect on
the world economy of PayPal Tesla also
so Anna mask is a successful person
because he’s very passionate is very
realistic it’s very confident and his
very passion about time so he takes this
time he does not care what people tells
him he he follows he does not follow he
lives he does not care that this idea is
wrong or right for others what’s he
think it fits him he do it so that’s
what I try to do in my perfect I have
startup that works on a service
ecommerce digitalization but i figure
out as much of the stuff top November
2016
I was very proud I have stepped up that
it’s the trends and to us every one of
us has a start-up but they figured out
after few years that I was working and
doing business the people in my country
think it’s the trend but I think we were
doing in fulness it was done in
countries such as Qatar the valley or or
Singapore in 2007
2008 so I’m not doing something new
I have no added value doing an
application or making your government
digital it’s something that was done in
2008 and 2007 now today in 2016 and 17
people talk about IU GE talk about
blockchain so what’s my added value even
so I started thought I was on the right
track my right track was a wrong turn so
I have decided to rap to lunch
epidural epidural as wearable device
that detect and monitor epilepsy seizure
Howard explained inaudible it be learned
here plus the atomic detection tom on
the side but masive so we did that
epilepsy seizure before happening become
we share notification with the parents
your kid is having a seizure at this
time this is the time variation this is
the time of the seizure this is a
duration we share real time data with
doctor what’s happening inside the body
how can he enter diagnostic diagnose the
decision we contact the emergency
centers and get the seizure in critical
level and we also have a platform that
provides a learning sessions for people
to know more about epilepsy I have
decided to launch this project because
of someone and my father is a phonetic
so I I felt some pain and I have wanted
to share a solution for this pain a
solution for this vein to everyone this
project once we started we started in
May 29th of May 2017 and in the market
we have an American competitor that is
all served by NASA by Microsoft and MIT
are the reserves
and I think they they have they have a
budget of over seven million dollars
when I start I start to do one thousand
dinner menu and in my first meeting with
my team I told them change your mindset
change the game so you have a couple of
months do me this what happens gonna
cost us time energy we will do it in two
months and was a mistake because I
thought that my motivation and my my my
vision is enough well the vision is not
enough we have to fade the first three
months we didn’t do anything not even
one single paper we couldn’t even
compete we if we stick with with the
same vision you have stayed in the same
budget position within the next few
years
so we brainstormed we talked we talked
today we have this version starting to
be able to be available on the market is
from June hopefully by by 2019 it will
be free for everyone so people who does
not have the money and they’re apathetic
they can enjoy because they can enjoy
this product and solve their life issue
because life is not about money
life is about your added value so when
this and this project I figure out my
other value but what’s my added value
compared to to the market I wanted to
provide that added value for the nation
for the country and not only for myself
and for my team and it’s a team work
it’s not my work but I wanted to provide
that added value for all my generation
so the question is the question that I
kept thinking about it which is what is
the one thing that I can do every day
that will get my train
to move one inch snail has an inertia
Naumann upon her maybe she would make
ish thought the degree that’s not the
studies that will make me everyday move
one step well if we wanna write it an
order we should be passion you should
have you should be passion in order to
have a vision once you have vision you
would have mentioned once you have
mentioned mission it will start applying
but this is very classic because every
one of us here has his own vision and he
built his own vision he can determine
the mission but the mission won’t be
enough so what I started doing every day
I said I I start I drew a train so I
said this train I have to push it every
day I need to know what’s the first step
and she do every day to move to the next
day and they shouldn’t sleep before
solving or pushing the Cinch what I did
is I have contacted my friends we have
brainstormed and we have talked and we
have shared ideas but we figured out
that every one of us is different
some of us are bipolar some of us they
they take well some of us are over
motivated some of us were overconfident
which is was my case that’s what we feel
the first and the first three months so
we decided that we learn learning where
you keep learning you keep partying you
keep studying
you keep educating yourself all of this
one day will determine our it will be
my new job and what’s your choice you
didn’t you did there my new job the
Knights of the Knights against
procrastination will be starting and
would start and you will work my goal of
my talk today it’s not my first one my
my first one about was about my vision
how I can see two hundred and twenty
third how can I see tarnish without
corruption how can I see it to us as a
digital country but they figured out
that my my vision one year ago is not
the same today today I see my country
has that has higher potential then
myself one one year ago I see that
myself I see myself as I felt I did a
good job but I figure out that I did
nothing awkward to others for example
once we start talking about the American
our American competitor in the market
this man seven years we said why not
spending taking those seven years we
won’t be stopped used to be finished
everything in one year and we figure out
you can use something called reverse
engineering most of the engineering
students here can understand me the
first sensor in engineering so we start
from the ending point and we develop
today we have this product a pillar and
it’s cheaper than the American people
done by purely Tunisian people most of
us or all of us except one doctor we are
a university student
no one has graduated yet our technical
Eden is a third-year student today this
project is going to Silicon Valley this
project is going to hit the
international market dedicated 65
million epic people from 2019 because of
one simple equation because because they
were because there is if there is a will
there is a way and thank you
