Pra que serve mudar o mundo? | Felipe Amaral | TEDxLaçador


What is the use of changing the world?

to try to answer that question I

I wanted to share a little with you

My story that I’ve learned

in this journey that began 28 years ago

back when I was born and the first

memories I have of my

children are four or five years old

old what happened in the first

years I have no idea

but what I’ve always been told is that I

was a lovely, calm and loving

joyful

and so I was taking with me that

character for many years

only this character had a defect

he had to be perfect and so it was

deconstructing in my childhood

adolescence as well as most

young people was not taught to

recognize that even at a young age I

already had a lot of history

it is as if the past and present of a

young were not worth anything

after all, what matters is always the future

from the moment of our first

frustrations when our parents

My son says this is not important.

will see when they get older there yes

It will be complicated and it will become

sometimes it takes a lot of time

When we grow up, life gives us

opportunity to take the helm of the

our boat and sail to where we

want or just leave so much

marlos lead perhaps a first

Opportunity direction is my boat

happened soon after I finished

college can be bad having to choose

The profession at age 17 I think

should be different

but independent of the most

important to have to make a choice

and at that moment we realize that we

we have the slightest idea of the way forward

because in fact we do not know who it is

who is driving our boat and there

I went to make my first choice

professional

I had no idea what you want

do and I ended up choosing to do

administration

I thought the problems were solved

and people kept asking me more

Because the administration

obviously did not have an answer and

At that moment I had to find a

answer that made sense to me and

I found one and I answered to

those people that asked me I’m going

do administration because I want to

make lots of money and so I started

professional career having no

idea of what he was doing

I started working at my company.

father until I get tired of taking

flag to be the owner’s son

then went to work in another

organization worked in a suit and

tie with a pasted base underneath the

arm

in the office that had view of the city

whole was super super powerful

important

My parents thought I was with the

life already made

until one day that path stopped

make sense to me and I realized

that that motivation that I had

I was not in college.

When I realized that I changed my

boat in the opposite direction and

I went to work in the third sector as

volunteer of some organizations

social

I felt good knowing that I was not

working for money

I was happy to know that I was

working for a greater good and not for

money

At that time I worked to help

people to have more opportunities

I used my managerial knowledge

marketing to support the ngc that

need needed help

I wanted to change the world, I really

believed that I was getting

and I realized that when I had

I went to college and I wanted to

I made a lot of money and I left

without a penny or exactly

the opposite

I spent about four years of

my life thinking that I had come

to land with the mission to change a self

I thought I had found my gift one

vocation but it was not any of that

I just

I was trying to find a way to

My life and I put it in the work.

all expectations at that time I threw myself

in the universe of people who work

to do good and I thought that I would go

solve all my problems and that

had found a way for my

happiness

This led me to live in Sao Paulo

make a series of choices and decisions

which were only left more confused

I realized that my search was

a bit selfish because deep down I

I just wanted to build

something great and that’s all I

I recognized that great leaders when

started did not want to do anything

great simply believed in

something and went behind without worrying about

the answers

I talk to a lot of people today

young people and this desire to change

world is something recurring

I keep asking myself what else is

behind this desire

will the world be this bad?

Or are we just

wanting to find meaning for

our lives

nobody ever knew how to explain what

happens after we die or

Do not even know what to say.

do here on earth but come to the world with

the mission to save

seems a great mission and obviously

has attracted a lot of people

besides changing the world we want

working collaboratively we want to

to undertake

we do not want to have bosses the time to

to accomplish

we want to find a job that

that really makes sense.

for our lives but I think this

is not in the ideal job or in the

willingness to cooperate or to

undertaking or anything else

external

the answers that we seek do not

are in these big jargon I think

that each one brings simply wanting

find the

space in the world and to do so

To know better

it is fundamental for the search to be

authentic

sometimes this road is lonely

is not collaborative

sometimes this path is painful and

it’s not fun

many times this path is not cool

sex and maybe that’s why we do therapy

It’s still crazy stuff.

now accept that the answers do not

are entrepreneurship in the

collaboration or anything else

may not be easy but it does

all the difference and was a bit of that

What happened to me that I wanted to

changing the world has helped me to

understand better looking inside and

see where it all came from or better

what was behind all that

that made it possible for me to do the

my own choices and if they

were right or wrong

The time has been telling me these

questions helped me to break

that perfect felipe and those

I was asked to do

a trip to travel to meet

It’s true who was Felipe.

on this trip although we had several

learn to be an incredible trip

sometimes the trip can be hard it hurts

recognize that perfect felipe

that I thought existed was just

a great illusion and for me the most

important in this story was to know

respect my time and accept that I do not

answers is part of the process and

that to go deeper you have to ask

help

I took time to recognize that how much

more vulnerable I became stronger

I stayed, I’ll do some analysis.

years and is one of the ways I

I found to give me this space

but I believe that these spaces do not

should only exist within a consultant

I think those steps should

exist in the things where we are

daily as a university school

among many others and this brought

motivation for last year

start an initiative together with two

friends to create this space for the

people to me represents the school or

university I would have liked

a school of entrepreneurship through

of self-knowledge

only pirate pirate because what

happens there has nothing to do with the

format of a school where the

teachers and students learn

it is a space for people to

connect with your dreams with your

wills and from there to develop

your projects with more autonomy

in this process the feelings come before the

make you want

but after it makes sense the way to

learn to do literally

putting your hand in the dough

from these small projects

are performed

people realize that they are free to

try whatever they want

and this is how all learning is done

through the experience of each but

I think it ‘s much more valuable

listen to this in people who have already

have participated in this process than

This is obviously me

passionate about initiative

so for that I wanted to show

you a little video

was a key that will be free to

do what you want does not have a program

thing that you will build with the

people

I did not know what I was going to do here yesterday.

I did not know what lasu was but I

was sure that the end was the part of the

history was the space of discovery of

time or theorize that it could be people

said did not get there alone

from the inside that helped me to have a

more open mind is more

sensitivity to me what I like

have a job more connected with what

I really believe that I can deliver

value and that also supports me

people do not have to follow the

others

the whole of it all does not care

attention and drugs managed to finish

back when you’re a genius

simply on the way

[Music]

in the process, what matters least is

the projects that people undertake

after that they’ll be artists

enterprising musicians or whether they

work in the parent company or a

traditional company

it does not matter what matters is that they leave

from there with confidence and courage to

make your own choices be there

which are

before looking outside

we need to look inside hear this

from marina silva a few weeks ago

It made sense to me, she said.

that just like our ancestors

Greeks who wanted to be free sages

the Romans who wanted to be strong

we must rescue this learning

being is much more important than having

or doing that you can not change the

world, the only possibility is to change

ourselves and this is the biggest

contribution that each of us can

leave it to mankind

thank you so much

[Applause]
