Y tú, ¿Que quieres ser de grande? | Ernesto Garza Guerra | TEDxUERRE

[Music]

and what do you want to be a great me that

I want to be big

I’m 33 years old I was doing the

calculation night more or less I lived 12

thousand 45 days counting this one that still

It does not end and I can not tell you

every day of my life has

asked what I want to do but yes

since we were 34 years old we started in a

process where we have to be something

we have to be someone

we have to cover some expectation of

someday some way we have to

prepare for something we do not know

really what is

and good today in these minutes that I’m leaving

to talk I will not live together

to try to take them on a trip to

that they remember a bit of what he wanted

do some years ago because I see and

different ages of people from

different ages

then we will go for a trip together the

I will invite you at this time that

observe some of the images that

I will share or hear some

of the phrases or words that are going to

listen to what is going on imagining how it was

the process to decide who they are

you today

everything starts with a baby all some

day we were a baby

fortunately I had the experience of

be a dad of a five- year-old girl

months

my wife is pregnant has five

months of pregnancy and to obtain a

boy

I think it has been the most

awesome that really brought him

felt completely to my life and

I ‘ve always wondered what I want to be

of great I think after

I could have been here for two years

answer something very wise for today not

I know if the 5 in 10 and 15 years could

change who wants to be big or what

they want to be bigger but but a

event that marked and that me and that I

has completed was almost two years ago

that we found out what we’re going to do to

peace and then a year ago five months that

was born in the city and this starts and

you are there one day they were

mild and then they started with toys

obviously I’m a little skewed because

I am a boy I liked and I liked

superman and spiderman and some some

this heroes but when they are young

they do not ask us what we want to be

we want to be superheroes some girls

remain to be princesses want to be the

wonder woman they will want to be

this any toy that you had in

that time when you were 3 57 years old

you thought something big something huge

I wanted to make you believe you wanted to fly

experiences that your created head does not

I imagine that it happened to me

He passed

I realized that it could not be

superman the moment they made me

before

ap how some of you maybe

after passed and they realized

that we could not fly

we can not be superheroes then

we started to change we started to grow

we are 79 years old ten years old and we give ourselves

realize that we can not be superheroes

that we can not be all the princesses

that we can not be the wonder girl

wonder and we start to see what I want

be a fireman

I want to be a policeman I would like to be

astronaut

there will be many people who come

7 and 11 12 years old wants to save the

world

we do not start with with with those

aspirations and who wants to be great

I want to save the world

I was in my community I want to go to

live far away and save many people not

we started with dreams this one that

can crystallize what sometimes does not

crystallize and then it appears and today

we are here here is average superior and

superior but country the schools are going to

a school or you find in the process

from school and surprise you have to

dedicate to or something we have to eat in

a future tell us that maybe

we have to have a family that

we have to have a job we have to

have a job where it is superman

where is the princess where is

all those dreams and longings of

save the world because that saved the world

or medical post something or saved the world or

I marry and have kids something to the world

the food drinks for my house are not

the things that you start to think that

We live the in which we live

in this way clear that everyone

choose how to do it but good is more

or less the pattern and the way and

then when we started with the

preparatory more or less a little

before secondary high schools

we started to see what your dad wants to be

your mom your aunt your uncle grandpa you

Grandmother a family member something compadre

some as the mother of your parents to

better is a lawyer and you like how it is

because it is cool

I bring in car always have themes

interesting talks about a surgeon who

talks about very interesting topics and

you always have emergencies you start to

see this kind of thing and without inquiring

much in general I know there are people

that I understand a lot but

you decide to be something when you do not get in

then at a good stage it goes hand in hand

or parallel a stage where you start to

have idols not

some girls out there for example

come a little porsche I know and my

wife but she wants to be a gymnast

Olympic was in the Olympiad and

regional and national Paralympics and

champion and it was and I also want the

olympics thinks to have messi ronaldo

I like football

you want to start seeing those idols of

those people that’s why I wanted to do that

person of great when it is big not

be the best we already have 10 12 14 15

years

who knows when it will be before or

then he did it in super important

we reach a stage where we have to

choose what we are going to study

I do not know how some of you have done

you pretty later I’m going to

talk as I did to choose

I was going to study but more decisions

important that we have to take

our life

maybe we take it without all the

information that we have to have

maybe with the influence of the uncle the

Aunt Grandpa Godfather

maybe some do not even have

option to do it

there were some out there that had to

study something that they imposed what

they told him he had to study the

17 16 18 years

you make a decision and now if you say me

I’m going to make something big

Now I choose to be a doctor to be a lawyer

to be an architect to be an engineer

chemical engineer you make the decision

of the rest of your life and for more or less

be in the stages or in the ages more

or less if we are among those born

between 70 and 80 but sales

we should we should live more or less

ninety and 80 years then imagine

that the 16 years old starts thinking and

make your decision of what will be of

great at home the university happens in

four

15 years has nothing to do is not the

career that you have to take with

pause and you have to go learn in the

way and you graduate it turns out that to

the 21 22

some 23 to 94 are already large and

for that moment someone helped us

ourselves

we chose that we want irrigators I do not know

if they were thinking more or less how

it was the experience that you had

to choose what they are today

regardless of their age

if you have 15

if they have 30 if they have 70 but but at

long of life let’s go fuck

making informed decisions are

informed to decide what we want

be that we want to be great

some end up being there

engineers and engineers out there we have

to a teacher

we have someone in a corporate

an economist out there someone and it ends

being that is great and and apparently

you meet him for the stereotype of

to be a big person or meet with

society and his wife is a person

great to go to the doctor to one thing is going to

get a little bit my experience does not

is going to talk a little bit about what I

touched live or that I had to choose me

do not

everyone at this moment has been thinking

in your own experience

but that’s me again I’m young and

I choose to be the spider man first

from small until I ‘m not going to sing

because the one who sings is one of my

sisters but my dad wrote me a

song where he said he put all the

I wanted time is giving a

that I wanted to be a year more with

weather

this i

and I had to make this a decision

to choose what I wanted to do, I am

hyperactive be here is my mom

exploring reference that led me to

school between six and a half and seven of the

tomorrow so for it to be athletics

I was still in school

then he played basketball he played soccer

I played soccer and football

you have to do something, you do not have to

finish this child’s energy

fortunately unlike many

diagnoses that you say out there

some authors I do not see medicine I do not

flatters but I focus on this sport and

I chose this game so I’m not going to

make popular with everyone but I was going to

the dallas cowboys and let’s see the

matches be I played soccer

American and that is not the game of

angel nurseries saw they did not have 92

I was nine years old

I do not want to be playing football

professional but I was realizing that

I did not have the size or the

conditions neither lived in a country that

they had the professional league that

Mexicans still did not play anyone in the

pot but still has not played any

South American Mexican because I had to not

conform but change a little the

led light and good I will not play in the nfl

but if I’m going to play in the league a league

local and schools

then I started I started in this process

and it is so, like many tests

it was to get to choose the race

preparatory and some engineering

better than the engineer before you work in

a law firm to understand

that the lawyers of grandmothers sisters

call with lawyers to understand a little

and the day here in the request for

I asked the person who was

opposite and which is the hardest one that

is not engineering mexico economy not

economy is chosen

I got to study economics

17 years I am 18 years old to the first semester

I realized after they took me out

of many kinds because it gives this someone

there that faced a little bit to the

professors and and many questions that a

Sometimes you were out of your mind out there

I realized that what the economist does

then it took me two years to accept

it was not a failure to change careers

and I switched load

It cost me two years then I changed

finance

in the end I graduated and it is date that today

eleven years of graduating so

who has worked on some finance

so I thought when I left at 23

almost 23 years that he has been without

embargo in finance

however I never never had interior

because I have not had the opportunity to

work not specifically finance

I started to work or school me

they invited to work on a project

goal that was that very moment

important to me because I realized

really through education it

they can transform many things and it is

as a parenthesis and maybe for another

talk but I think that education is the

little or lack of education is the

root of the measure the problems that

we have in our country and that too

in the solution for the law for the

more number of problems we have

today here that is that maybe when

we have solved the issue on occasion

will come other problems yes but lion

with education we can save

make a decision on this path and

I wanted to travel I had known three

countries mexico usa and canada

up to 22 years old and from 22 to

twenty-seven at 28 I said to spend

all the money traveling in those five

years I was fortunate to know more about

30 countries

I went everywhere and experiences

meet people I went alone from backpack

for many parts I lost train planes

shoot the parties

we had many experiences with

many people

many people learned a lot of things

but there I wanted to do in those five

years someone who while working

I’m going to save money for that trip

wants to make a traveler out there we have

a father of the family who told me that

it was the average frequent traveler trip

hour where he is crying from these

always with cabbage up with those with those

this desire that you will practice for

where he was going and then at this moment

I realize that through the

education starts to have an impact

positive in the community with the people

with which he worked with the students

I did not like to work

I started receiving feedback

after two of 12 years that that

talk that the moment we had

he really helped us helped them and I

I started to realize that through

education whose really impact on

society and I decided to devote myself to the

education

I do not say so for what remains of

my life but I would like to be

involved in this in this process

I had the fortune and at this point in this

process of going to live in Paris works

at the base of a time and I think there

It was the beginning of what is now my life

because I played in a bar in Barcelona

meet my wife’s wife today

does if the mom of the day and the mom

future mom oo mom this crime that

has five months to be born in

Four months in a bar saw her enter

this we had to get to carry

X circumstances

I thought I was a foreigner at 20

I was sitting at the table a month

resignation from work in paris

I went to live in Barcelona and the month is

I live in Barcelona asked him to

marry me and today five years

then we have a beautiful family and

let’s hope more children come

where did I go with all this

I am not a finished product like

that you I am not a product

finished

I ‘m not a success story

I’m not the biggest entrepreneur in the

world

I do not have the biggest company I do what

I like

I do what I’m passionate about but today

mister of three years I am not a

finished product

I can tell you that I follow

preparing on the road I would recommend

that we were ready and want to know

what do they want to be great?

prepare you never know when they are going to

need some of what of what

they studied at some point

friends make mistakes about everything

learn from those mistakes make your own

path make your own decisions what

that they say what they think what they say and

what they do that is always congruent

have a motivation to take risks and

above all always follow his heart

Thank you
