if you had only one chance to

deliver the best of you as you would

I want us to take a few minutes and

give the opportunity to think about that great

dream is the great goal that each

one

I want you to think what your

attitude or behavior in these

moments I want the

opportunity to feel to visualize that

that you have inside your mind

that makes them unique that they so desire

with all your strength because I do them

that question

I want to tell you that some years ago

it was almost impossible for me to think about

who was going to be the andres was going to

face the world in what way I

could fit in what way I could

be something really relevant that could

impact the people really was

very confused he questioned me a lot

I’m not good, I do not have the attitude

correct I do not have the skills

correct but I want to tell you that the

life gave me a great opportunity

just as surely it has been given to

each one of you throughout your

lifetime

life gave me a great opportunity to

begin to dream at my 18 years and of

go to Brazil to make a

exchange for an ong english for a

minas gerais was the opportunity

great of my life I want to tell you that

when he arrives in brazil

the first months first month was

really a lot of confusion was

disorientated

it was very cold I was with another

language

I did not know how to speak Portuguese between

ngo that is dedicated to helping the zones

most vulnerable in the city to children and

adults who needed help that

they needed to believe in them that

they needed financial support that

they need a lot of things and I want

tell you that the first days

I really connected with that fact to

climb a favela and have to go see

people that really in your face

I was in the same hunger with which

account every one of you for me was

very exciting and I want to tell you in that

disorientation

one day I was walking looking for a

address on a Sunday or a Sunday where

I felt more alone and confused than

I was never walking looking for a

answer a signal knows why the

I was looking because they know a job maybe

in the work of my dreams in this

first opportunity maybe had

good maybe I had the knowledge

but I was afraid to show it to the

company where I was

I was afraid to speak to me portuñol

I was scared because I thought my ideas

they were not valuable

I was the strategic planner of the

marketing area but really not

he knew how andré san juan and he’s going to

pose the idea in such a way that it

could make and have an impact on

this company did not know how and a

Sunday

walking I remember what was going on

for a gym you are looking for a

church is looking for a signal and

entered a gym

how they see it in the photo between that

gym and the director the owner

about and he says

today I had in my memory his smile and that

he became interested in my life and I said hello

how are you

look I’m looking for this address does not

will be that you can help me already clear that

yes I have been I know where I am from

I said look I’m Colombian serious and

Colombia

She is very surprised and asks me what

is doing here are you doing

here I start to count look I came to

working in an NGO is my first job

my first opportunity I have a few days

to start counting a little bit the

story but they know that the one that she

interested in my life at that time was

special

maybe that sign came that both I

I wanted my life

at that moment she asks me and is

costing Brazil is liking the

people how are you trying brazil 12

How is Brazil treating you?

I said look you know I love the

people

the treatment and kindness the food

all food seriously asked me if I

he liked the food and I in that moment

I clicked with something that I love

which it is the brigadeiro picadero and

in Mexico

tacos in all corners there are

brigadistas in all corners of

Brazil

I remember I said look at me

love the brigadeiro so much that each

where a brigade wants to buy

one although at the moment I did not have

so much money do you really know an NGO in

a foundation to buy me their

brigade that I so much wanted

the photo of the gym has already been made

between and she tell me she knows that Colombia

not here I’m close to a minor

dubra zew riding school to the best brigadeiro

from Brasil face that is called giuseppe

santana that angeli failure and fala for him

and teo chee if for you to try your

and it excites me there and told me

that go to the corner that is giuseppe

santana in a house with a gate and that

go to approve your hatchery which is the

better and at that moment the only thing

I did was trust and walk towards the house

from giuseppe this Sunday arrives at the house

of usher and touch the garage tac tac

wait minutes and you think you are not me

opened the door and kept playing until

and who believe did not open the door that

I decided to start following my path to

keep going to the normal church and to

next day that I went to work

decide after my work through

from the house of giuseppe zenti something in the

heart a signal like those signs

that they give us all along

our life and so get to the house of

Giuseppe and again knocks on the door

toc toc and what they think chávez opened

yusef and not only opened but with a

great smile received me was your bein no

he knew me but he believes in my smile

my attitude my desire to want to try your

sweet the interest that I put him made

you tell me I know coming

I ‘m going to try the sweet I’m

doing

and to me those moments the truth gave me

Total curiosity to see what he

did and if you know that I would love

learn to cook that sweet and that god

I was given the opportunity for three

weeks and go to learn how to cook that

candy

just help him I was like a

sponge absorbing everything that is me

giving and observing in those moments and

I want to tell you that the first week

who believe they turn on a light bulb

this size

that great idea is not to arise us in

the moments of life I have decided

tell him you know that I think he can

help this strategic planning that

I’m doing in the NGO

I think I can apply the one of some

way in your business to help you

I went to my house I took my computer

I started to see pictures of brigadeiro as

other people did it

if I arrive where I always tell him

you know giuseppe prepare me some

samples of your candy and in sets

let’s try to get to more places

so they know this sweet knows for

what did I think of that idea

because I saw him giuseppe talent

gave a beautiful a great product a great

sweet a chance to grow

you know what connected with me

your story because you told me that

he had two children he had taken

forward all your life the love to your

children was what led him to do

sweet and took him to do all his

life to be to give them the

study to give them the knowledge

to give them the love that all

parents give us and I in those moments

I was if my parents so I said

this is an opportunity to do something

for someone

I went to different places in the city

different stores like coffee shops carry

giuseppe work of the sweets

place and I said ‘I want you to try

this brigadeiro because there was in all

the corners but I told them I want to

that they prove is and I think what

promote to see how

After a week , the

sweet of giuseppe like never and we achieve

close I managed to close so they had

more sales in different cafeteria

were almost six cafes that

they gave the opportunity therefore the

Giuseppe’s sales grew if he

I made an amount of money per month and

he had done it for 20 30 years that

moment was the opportunity for the

will increase that amount and so that

start dreaming again and so that he

will start to think giant because

I had a wonderful sweet product

now his talent was his essence

and who believes in him will see giuseppe so

happy was the best thing that happened to me in

life because giuseppe not only told me

thank you but also said you know that

André I want to offer you this

money for you to finish this

exchange because what you did was

valuable and helped me impact my life and

I took the money and for me it was

better that could happen not only not only

seeing the face of giuseppe but seeing the

connection between both and start believing

the start to believe in myself begin

to believe that my idea was invaluable

could help someone

I want to give you three types that can be

apply in your life to have an impact

in people initiative be the

seed that will soon become

a big tree are those people who

they take that first step that sometimes is

necessary because maybe the

opportunities even though for all

they are sometimes simply not arriving

we have to go look for them we have to

go out and show our work

express ourselves to make known what we are and

what we have second receptivity the

people

the world social networks the

television everything is broadcasting

messages for us continuously

all the time we are like a sponge

let’s be receptive

let’s listen absorb what the world

It has difference between you each

of you have a history

wonderful has an essence has something

what makes it unique

we have to see it in the other absorb it

take care to work it because it will be us

better and finally action with

impact

all this that is what I am

mentioning today is

simply for something to do them

see that in each of you review

inward and make an introspection

realize that in each one of you

is a unique power for nobody is

no one better than anyone

that nobody

We are all wonderful if you

they really know they empower themselves

who are they empower themselves of what they have

I am sure that they will be able to impact

others his voice

your mind your heart your language

absolutely everything he does

its structure is perfect and that is my

only goal today I want

that today you begin to believe the

I tell your own story

I want you to start believing and feeling

that are important that are valuable not

matter at the time and in the situation

where are

If you cover that it is he

because for which they came to the world

I assure you that it will impact the

people if I had listened to the

gym person if I had not

started to go to her if I do not

had acted in life and giuseppe

this story would not have happened

and that story impacted my life from a

way you have no idea

today who I am completely

happy

today who I am has a reason

of being and being here in front of you

delivering the best of me to achieve

the best of you so create yourself the

I tell you and your story really does

vibrate the universe

thank you very much
