behind the

good morning and thank you very much for being

here

The first thing I have to say is that I

I feel a little embarrassed why

why do I consider myself a

the most normal person in the world

I do not know I do not know what I’m doing here I’m not going

to sing neither any wonderful idea and

I hope this is not for you

disappointment no but hey I’m here

I recognize that if there is something left, I am a

little special me every day

when I get up in the morning and I

I see in the mirror

I promise that I see myself as many

of you now here as if

I was studying in the faculty as

if you were studying with 22 or 23

years being exactly the same and

recognizes that this can be a

disease why I say that I am a

little bit special I look at myself and I think what

same as I thought a lot ago

years more than 30 years

He looked at me and I think that I have

same fears and the same study

uncertainties that at that time did not

I only look young and I look like

you now that that’s clearly a

but I have problem but also

I really feel

well then with the same things

I love the same thing I like to look at

future and and I have the same with the

same anxieties and resentments or what

what can you also have

now or suffer now

imagine you do very little nothing

I still got up in bed

startled

well at night that did not finish the

law career

mother of god imagine what nightmare not

Because those fears, their fears are the

same as I have I have two children was born

in the year 1965 I will be 52 years old

I have two children I’m married and iu and the

the two sons were born the same day with

four minutes apart

the one of the other are twins are

twins my wife and I educated them

we told them the same things

we tell them the same thing we change the

same diapers although I recognize that I

not so many but we all transmit

the same values we give you so

same

however 16 years later or almost 16

years later

The truth is that we have seen that both

they are completely different

he does not love music the other one

He loves reading one loves

action movies

another loves love and luxury

another still does not forgive

he also likes for the sciences the

another for the letters one white and one

black or not is not that no

both are white but yes, yes

my wife and I for that nonsense of giving you

realize that they are completely

different but they grew the same tournament

and we told them the same thing we said

perfect account that all the

people are different

that’s the most beautiful thing in the world is one

of the secrets of life that by far

we have done all the same we

have educated the same we are all

completely different

I am a firm believer that all

and each one of us here

each and every one of us

here we have something that we do well something

that we do a little better than

average of the environment of what is at

good side well if we manage

that part is to say we realize

the things that I do a little bit in

a little bit better

I assure you that we will go to all

much better in life and not

do not think badly always think well what

we have all absolutely all is not

that is the absolute truth that we are

different helps us to be different and

will also help us to succeed if

that we empower it will help us to have

success in life when I talk about success

in during today I’m not

talking about economic success I’m

talking about the feeling of successes more

deep that is here within vale

is here inside and here inside

I’m not talking about success in terms

economic

good when when we are in

a situation where in which

so many things happen around us

There are times that we get dizzy not because

example if I ask now will you know

sometime the hand that is a

telex one as there are 100 1 percent of

the world population knows what a

telex in the year 1983

I created my first company was 18 years old

just compliments helped me

one of those people with the soul of

let’s talk today today here maybe

Someone you have known is called Pepe

cosmen helped me create that company that

was dedicated to import and export to

other things from china

the only thing that he asked me for his only

requirement is bernardo you have to buy

a telex a tlc was a contraption was what

more advanced the time was for but

will allow us to launch orders to china in

the same day they came to the Chinese and

the Chinese demanded the acceptance of

order or order delegation

well that’s what a telex was this

telex was very fast obsolete

it cost us 400,000 of the

old pesetas we had to pay

400,000 set the 2,500 euros today two

or three years later it was

completely obsolete and the

fax the fax how many of you

You know what the fax or telefax one

70 to 80 percent

we go well the thing is improving 70 80

percent of the population still

accord of technological objects

obsolete is good and spent time in

the year 95 I was lucky to be able to do

a mba a master not one of the

illusions of those of the many dreams

that I’ve seen fulfilled in my life and I

I went to Madrid every weekend

doing that master the other day was

with a partner eating with a

master ‘s mate and said bernardo

you realize we went to one of the

best universities schools of

European business do the master that

we had the best teachers that

could have in those days the most

innovative the most technological and

the majorities companies that had in

Spain those were our teachers

for a whole year for a year

entire agreement 1995

none of us spoke of a word that

today we have it every day here

here in the heart throughout the internet in

the year 1995 there was no internet in

Spain just as it happened in these

last 20 years so that the

Whatever internet it is our daily bread

every day not what is it that all

We are using a lot of

things in 20 years

the world of

be in a position where the telex

had been operating for 50 years

which is now that computers change

every 12 months you changed purchases

the same computer you change the letrita

and it does double things and faster

still has not happened in the world

so that all that happens and so fast

in a short space of time then look

have to take into account one thing that

all that

all of that is the result of many things

many people like we are

here that they do a little bit well

certain things and that in the end to

everyone helps us a lot

we are coming to the world of

supercomputing the hypercompetence the

mega competition because because today

Internet has broken the barriers of the world

today

today everything is global a person here

you can exchange what you want with a

person beyond that a person in

china that has broken the world the hyper

with connectivity

that what you bring us knowledge and the

Knowledge at your fingertips

we do this and we have the knowledge

that we want we do not differentiate ourselves from a

person in bangladesh

if that person there wants to be

aware of the world

that ‘s wonderful that’s exciting

to be able to have lived and witness

from that of was changed completely not

only technological but cultural and now

add something else a change

technological

before buying before said a telex

they were 400,000 pesetas 2,500 euros today

with 2,500 euros I go to a store and

He bought a smartphone firsthand

wonderful a wonderful tablet a

an incredible honor laptop and something I

It sounds like it let go of me I left over money to go

to the movies

I used to buy a telex from

second hand but it’s a hand and I

it cost the same as there will be today thirty

and so many years after it has happened

what happened that we ‘re living

a moment when that innovation

technological advance not

grows linearly does not grow well

it grows like this and we are in it

I just from the union of two

fingers mega trends the hyper candel

connectivity on the one hand internet and for

another side that is to that technology

and eye the mayor within reach of almost

all I can not say of all but has

lowered by the price until today

we can get that technology to that

knowledge to the maximum knowledge of

a way as simple as stretching the

hand and put in front of the screen

a smartphone is no longer even a

the world’s computer we have it in a

smartphone

good those two things that have

transformed the world are about to

hit a third and then it goes

to ride the big mess they get fixed

and you think it’s not there yet

which has not happened it is already

colliding we are living the moment in

that those three things in these two failures

of the third one but one comes and that

it’s going to be an explosion that is mine

if I asked what I would do and if I

I tell you right now

right now that in a few days

more or less those who are here more or

less will a wave come by the sea

Mediterranean will literally flood

Asturias was going to destroy everything that

You do is stand still you did not want

prepare you are not going to be like

the one of the praise that he put us

before Carlos all there in the balance

to see if we can row when

the wave come and see if the fleet and

we eat ourselves or in the end what

we have to do is use the head

prepare to try that tsunami that

that wave that arrives does not take us

front but that’s what we have to

try to do and I think we’re all

agree

therefore the first thing that we have to

to do is to think that that rush of water

what I want to convey is that it’s not going to

be an avalanche of water but yes that

will come in very little time less

of the fingers that I have in this hand is going to

come an avalanche that are millions and

millions of people to compete with

we here do not see how

and I already compete on all sides

Like what we do millions and millions

that example took it out of a book that

wrote to a friend of mine who is called

Juan Martinez Barea and he says he is

the great tsunami

says that in the next few years

immediate will come an avalanche of

people to do the same as us

know accounts 4,000 million

people

neither one plus one nor less than 4,000 million

of people to compete with us

do the same thing that we are going to come

millions of doctors millions of

chemistry millions of nurses and

nurses lawyers not lawyers who to

compete with us because today a day

today, of course, they can compete with

we because they have come to the same

knowledge that we by much

we want we have here the difference

it’s very simple is that they have

much more hungry than us

much more hunger not physical not of

here and from here they ambition to have what

we have and it is logical is not

our world is the world of all and

They reach four billion people

make us compete in nothing

it’s like the wave from before

let’s stay still because we have

to be super prepared the same as

before super super prepared

until now having a title that

I could open a door and

generation was not like that but that could

open a door today a title

the studios do not open so many doors

that is a necessary condition but not

enough not enough so there’s

what to do more

with this avalanche and with this is a

new tsunami that comes to us and what

we can do

what can we do tool we can

find in the world

in a world in which nothing in the

competition is going to be amazing and

we have to face that stay

drowsy do not look

they come as shots to do things

that we have already done Europeans

the Spaniards the asturians we are

cooking them like I’m worth sponsoring

and there can be no pessimism

erase it from the head

there is only one tool to compete

in a world as competitive as the one

comes only one formula the attitude

that is the perfect tool to look at

I studied in here in oviedo in a

school very close from here to scarce

three kilometers from the school san ignacio

of the Jesuits

I remember some of the teachers

or of many but especially one of

one that changed my life from one that I have

in the head

it was called the destiny father was a

person who gave us literature and

it seemed so boring he never laughed

smiled the best but kings never worth

I never saw him raid filled the classes

of literature as if they were a

authentic work of art

literally like a work of art

he arrived class opened with his long

fingers started reading and you fall in love

just listening he read it better than

nobody has seen in my life

put the five senses to read

put the soul what they told us that

rafel that person and that person in a

day any

then we will have a fragment of

crime and punishment closed the book said to

see who of you can tell me

what Russian writer wrote this novel

we all get nervous for

take part

I did not know it but I also got

nervous to see if he raised his hand

because he was a teacher that never never

He never never said no to anything ever

it seemed wrong

therefore everyone wanted

participate suddenly says to see you

trinitario dinos who wrote crime

and trinitario punishment very happy

because they had given him the word and

we were all hitting says with voice

clear and firm of tchaikovsky all the

dead class of laughter

the whole dead class of laughing I hope that

here we all arrived and said no tributary

no it was not tchaikovsky photo I’m est

but very well the two were Russians that

Professor takes the soul inside

worth and passionately told us and we

He said how to teach

Today I am a teacher and I do it

permanently I remember him

permanently it is a way that

transmits very good vibrations

that way of doing it can be done

many things in life

you know that in this country we are the

world champions in bars there are 260 thousand

bars in spain

we played a bar 175 inhabitants

good because we go to a bar or we are not going to

a bar is a matter of attitude

the other day they invited my wife and

me to a chueca tavern

we opened the menu and we started

to laugh first scrambled dish of

happy chickens raised in freedom

second course and if second course of

rested Cantabria beef and

quiet with names and surnames third

third dish and the dessert cheeses

invincible shepherds and nothing happens and

fears of laughter you have to risk in the

life and you’re wrong nothing happens if

you are wrong you have to repeatedly give

the turn take a step back and start

that ‘s what you have to do look hate

really when people look for

the street they say

that is an ambitious one that ambition has

I am the first ambitious does not cost me

recognize it

I love being ambitious as not how

I ‘ll think about life so that

everything around me is better

please that’s a problem that we have

Spaniards or envy

a car passes by you look at the

neighbor says what bastard what stolen not

think well always never never

never use those expressions of is

that I thought I thought they believed

I thought they were children of gift that all

wrong attitude to remove it and all

costs go down the bad side remove it

I just want to live near people

with soul and ambition not to have them near

very close simple good people

normal no cracks

I hope I have a crack next I’m going to

deny but that is what I seek to have

people with dawn people responsible

people who know how to ask for forgiveness

people who know how to thank

things that’s the only thing I do in the

life try to ambition to have the

people better is that I can side on the

personal life and in life for him the

life was in family life the personal

and professional in everything look what’s left

very little but those people

dreamers those people that that

they convey joy that they fall in love with

things those people are very

contagious out tell you very simple

and very easy to keep in mind one thing

keep in mind one thing to compete

in the coming tsunami there are many

people who are going to make us

competition

you just have to do one thing employ the

perfect tool as it took

simply knowing what we have

inside of us everything we have

here inside is what will allow us

really enjoy in life be

happy and have success agreed on

success that I say not the economic the

success from here inside just with that

we will be much happier

many thanks

[Applause]
