42,195 METRES | David Usón | TEDxEAEBusinessSchool


I would like to share with you and

talk about this number from this distance

and why it is important to consider and

set goals in our life for

many is this number is the

distance to mean something to others

surely not but I ‘ll solve it

fast because it is certainly the distance

what do you have to do when running a

exactly marathon 42,195 meters for

many is a way of life for others

How do I include myself?

face the challenges in this life but

to tell us a bit and get into

the context would have to return some

years ago and a few years ago

I remember that I was a typical runner

that came 6 kilometers came to me

house completely red and said I ‘ve

eaten the world

tomorrow I’m going for the ironman but nothing

more navia challenge some and that was it

for months he went running

punctually until one day a friend

mine commented to me and there is a race

madrid 10 kilometers and at that time

I said 10 kilometers to do four

more impossible but I’m going to prepare

it was the first goal that I planted and

after two months and of the race and

I finished it as I could but I finished it and

then I turned to comment

there in two months another race I said my

new goal is to do it and reduce the

time and I braced myself and again

get

and here the maximum said good

yes I can with 10 can with the average

marathon are four months and I put the

next goal and I started to prepare the

career day training and

I did it and I finished it and already to the day

following

I said well the half marathon I do the

marathon and I thought about it I put that

challenge I started to train I started to

prepare meal plans for

training and the day of the

career and I have to admit that there was

suffering but the end and faith and to the day

next I said good when the

new marathon I will not was the next

but I prepared myself I put another challenge and the

following marathon 2016 also the

I finished the photoshop and made the

next I said well every year I like

I do me

I like challenges I set a new goal

and the goal was the next year to do the

marathon but this time produce the

time I prepared myself even more and the

I finished and if you look at the three photos and

you can see a similarity and you can

to say is the medal that finished them not

It is the smile that each one has

them in the satisfaction of that goal

I thought about finishing it

it seems that it is seems that it is easy and it is

very difficult entails a very sacrifice

big but when you get there the

satisfaction is full and carrying this

goal

this personal path to the part

professional at the same time find

a similar situation many of

you and I was in a multinational and

At the same time I was studying a

master and I was happy at my job

but I wanted a bigger challenge

and I said I’m going to set a goal and

I want to be a little more owner of my

future and what I did was namely , what

I wanted to start my own company with a

master of the master

we started working on an idea and we

we set a goal that was to form a

company

we work on financing

we work in the project business

plan at the end we arrived and that goal the

we got went to sign and we formed

our own Yankee business starts the

Year 1 of the company

just as I trained to prepare

for the marathon I trained for

start year 1 on day 1 of that

company and the similarity

from my point of view it is complete is

say when I go running in the

marathon in the race came to the

kilometer 10 and I feel full I’m going

sure because I’m left over and in terms

kilometer 10 of the race of the

company

same I have new clients everything is

flowing and it works very well we continue to

step second the 20 kilometers the

half marathon when you’re running

arrives at 20 kilometers from the company

and the problems begin

you have problems with your partners you do not see

the business in the same way you drop

Some customer lacks funding

but you keep fighting and the

kilometer 30 and kilometer 30 in the

he killed many call him in what is the

wall and that’s when you start to see many

runners who give it

that is, my mind tells me to finish and

I have suffered it and the easiest thing is

abandon and kilometer 30 asylum if I

we take to the company is when the

company companies

companies start to fall

companies start does not have financing

ethical customers and many fall from

made the figures say that the first

year between 80 and 85 percent

companies close but in that

kilometer 30 both in the race in the

marathon race like in your career

Professional in your company

if you want to keep fighting you get to

goal and when you get

it’s amazing the satisfaction I’m a

little bit more owner of my future but the

big difference is that when you run the

marathon and to be able to say I have finished already

I have the marathon check no longer

I need to do more but when you arrive

the first year does not end that you have to

rethink putting other goals because

if you will not finish and seeing both

parties because in the end the process is

similar you have many moments in the

you want you want to pay in which

you do not want more where you can not

that you are doing well and still suffering but

end the good ends and my girl

I used to say when we are in the

said study career for 10

because that’s how to get 18

if you study for a 5 will be three and

in people when he’s in that 30

kilometers of the company says good is

that has reached success because it has

had luck

I do not believe in luck and as I said

wise philosopher in the end luck is

when the opportunity and the preparation

they are that is to say those that

they succeed they have not had luck they have known

do that previous training have they

done also that in the end they have had

success and I when he raised the two

models my way of seeing life that I

has served

both things and I would do it again ten

times more and in fact I already have challenges in

both roads and one of them is to run

two marathons a year we’ll see

There are three variables that have always

given where to go

the first is that all things

important that has been achieved

those goals and goals that really

I wanted to do those that were

side were not as important and not

I know

got second really those

who fought and I get ready to get and

the third variable that without

preparation is impossible and if now you

had to back down b given many

hits there are projects that have gone well and

others have gone wrong but they have all

taught and if I had to step back in

many of them has been because I’ve had

the preparation of the project as the

I had to have done when you saw that

they said not this is going to work because

we have everything controlled financing

to work fake because then in that

career continues in that competition

daily

there are many more factors and today we are

talking about being the owner of our

future

I personally think that it is impossible

be of our future because there are so many

variables that is very complex but

when you set yourself a goal that

you really want to get when you

you work to get it and know how to go around

all the pieces what you can

get those variables reduced

and tomorrow when those those

conflicts those variables begin to

fall

you have a lot more have more potential

to fix it because reduce those

variables and surely they will ask

many of you

how many in the head do you have to ‘ride

your own company assured that

many would raise their hands and he would

I can tell you, is it really

you want to go ahead but review it

review it and work on everything

you want that you already have done because a

Once you start to walk it is very difficult

check it again

in the end you have to make the

excellence in your life

take her to professional life and that

be the excellence the training and the

preparation is what will be different

what makes us different

it does not matter how old you are each day

you have to think that you have to be

better than the rest because the opportunity

to get to as we said the fate not

arrives has been by hand will be the

preparation with that opportunity and there

a very good sentence of malcolm x what

for me it defines everything and that we can

apply the past to the present and the

future is that education is the

passport to the future

tomorrow belongs to those who are

prepare for today you have to

go further

there are many opportunities but

you have to think that all those who

they are around you

they are competitors if you want to get to bs

30 to success you have to be better than

rest but let’s not forget the only

that can do things and you can

be the one who writes your future

thank you very much

[Applause]
