Today I am here to share my

dreams

let me start this talk with a

nothing special experience just my

history

at 14 he will decide after a dream

I wanted to be a great professional tennis player

so I moved to buenos aires 400

miles from my house I lived with a

Unknown family trained 10 hours

if ten hours a day sometimes

we train Saturday and Sunday until

holidays in at that time after

train I was going to my English classes

and I studied because on weekends

I did not play in the materials

free the secondary nor tell them about

all the things that I missed out on

15th birthday

what do I know the life of any

teenager but at that moment my

sleep is intact

I think it was the passion that made

nothing will matter three years after

play several professional tournaments but

not to offer a great tennis player in

I was actually nowhere near to all those

years had been worth it

when finishing secondary thanks to

tennis and English classes got a

scholarship to investigate united states the

truly an incredible experience

in that moment I realized that more

beyond my goal that is going to be a great

tennis player what was worth the road

travel

there is a beautiful song by fito páez

that says the important thing is not to arrive

important is the path so in that

moment I started to think that life is not

it was about goals in life itself

was the trip or do not usually think the

dreams as to what he pursues and that

when it reaches it already a place that is

guarantee of happiness but it is not

dreams are momentary sensations

and life is not a feeling was

really fulfill the dreams you have to

Enjoy each step of the trip

a year later I came back I did not know very

well what to study I really like the

math so a friend of mine

mom told him about engineering in

systems towards start the hour came

my first partial mathematical analysis

I swear I had prepared me neither

first note with 0.5 if 0.5

did you know that in his first partial

they are taken 0.5

I knew there was that good note I did not

I knew that there was a

very wise person told me read in voice

same voice only has to take this

decision

do not let yourself be influenced by others

nobody has the perfect answer for

your life and beyond the failures

you have to keep making decisions

roads are indirect and you’ll find

many obstacles

that’s part of the process but remember

I never stopped believing in yourself

at that moment I began to think that

really what I want and my answer

Yes, my dreams

the systems engineer after that

note I never surrendered more bad ends

with the second best second best

last career average

years the race was already working

so many may be able to think

good is already

but not if something has taught me tennis

was that I did not have to reflect less

in the best moments

so he started a mastery

finish it

they call me from the conicet national council

of scientific research cnic a

the first graduate of the University of

systems engineering that I got a

scholarship to do a PhD and stay

first nationally

that same year they call me from one of the

most recognized companies

world in engineering and technology

microsoft

the dream of any engineer my

dream but the truth that I saw it

impossible but you can not imagine what

I wanted

so carranque seven interviews in

total all in English after each

interview

I know I will not call more but

imagine what I prepared for each

one of them many moments I thought about

but no longer good to finally stay

Today we are two engineers who

We work in Argentina to

developers like them many believe

that success is by accident

success is not by accident the success

it is the product of everything made, no one

that moment the commitment of the

perseverance of strength will and the

hard work that we dedicate to that

dream to achieve it

I am here today but I did not stop dreaming

one of the phrases that accompany me to what

along this road is that of albert

einstein who said

we are architects of our own

destination

everyone is responsible to know what is

his dream of enjoying every step in

trip to believe in yourself of no

never relax and always have

present that to achieve it by accident

we have to keep dreaming so that

our dreams come true

thank you very much
