Hello my

well heard

know very well someone

compares our lives

with a labyrinth for

someone metaphor

life is an ascension

in a mountain someone says

that life is

open book

and we ourselves write each

her page today in

my speech, I

would like to share with

you my

metaphor of life

many of my friends

that I am sick by the sea and

marine

adventures and for

me my metaphor

life is a ship

sailboat sailing along

we ourselves

captain

but everything that surrounds us

the water of the wind bad weather

storm and of course

colossal level

uncertainty is

our life is with you

by the way I’m not without reason

chose this

photo for

illustrations of metaphor

my life from you

knows what kind of ship

pictured in the photo

personally it’s legendary

sailboat pride

of the Russian fleet

korozentern bork

otprazdnuesh and

last year its

90th anniversary of the World

record-holder

you participate in two

round-the-world regattas

this is one of the most

large sailboats in

world for today

day if 28 cars

row together

after another it will turn out

its length is the area

total sailing

armament 3720 two

square meters

almost like a football

field height match over

the level of the floor would be 55

meters, imagine

yourself here in

girth of iron

pillars and towers

as 18-storey houses

pay attention to

point on which

shows an arrow

at the very top of the mast

we do not see anything

may be

human figure

take a look yes all

it’s true that I’m exactly 23

days ago

I sit on the highest

point of the Kruzenshtern on

height of 55 meters

absolutely happy

about this rise

on the mast I

be sure to you

I talk about later and

in its

I wanted to speak

would share with you

several

stories

which are very strong

exerted on me

influence in one way or another

of degree a in the final

eventually intertwined in

one amazing

vital

adventure July 1 we

open in Ufa

Russian-Chinese

business incubator a

in ten days

I’ll fly to Beijing where

We will sign

agreement with the city

hanjou in

whose young

entrepreneurs

our republic

will have

opportunity

internship in

the best innovative

areas of this

cities to

tell you about

that I literally

said two

proposals to

achieve this

I worked

on this project

last year a

this story began

year and a half ago

if only a year and a half

back someone said

me that I will stand

here on this stage on

1 in history you

ted x I have

will be presented as

rights thanks to

to whom in Ufa I

appeared

Russian-Chinese

the incubator is both very

laughed for a long time now

first story

a year and a half ago

me with my partner

lawyer kravet

received

offer

several

activities for

young people

of entrepreneurs

we have successfully managed

with this task and us

immediately proposed

do something

similar to

social

businessmen we

responded and

invented

accelerator

social projects

full

two-month

program but to

fully

We develop

decided

fly to Moscow and

learn one of the

the best business

trainers of our Russia

but to a man who

subsequently became

one of my

mentors

kooku

we are whole

year studied in

university filled

a bunch of cones

but ultimately

successfully defended this

program thanks to

the fact that our

practice of steel

successful but us

invited to speak

at the international

forum of young

leaders of the United States with brix

which take place on

exactly one year ago in Ufa

namely there I am the first

once I heard about the project

of the Russian Union

youth Russian

Chinese

business incubator i

immediately made a

initiative to

similar project

opened with us in

city

and in 2017, well, you need

say what then to

my initiative

several

cold and having communicated

with Moscow

colleagues we

good-bye and I

went to his

the first adventure on

kruzenshtern and business in

that during

learning from the brand

Kukushkin he just

shared his

plans that he

wants to make the first

educational

program on board

the legendary

sailboat during

his transition to

the North Sea

but from the Dutch

Jail business in

Belgian antwerp and where

immediately booked

participation here as

once on here in the photo I’m in

a denim cap is

my mentor mark

kukushkin

despite my

rich experience

participation in marine

adventure it was

incomparable

impression I

contracted so

called a virus

kruzenshterna it was

there then a year ago

for the first time in

my head came

a metaphor for

it is extremely important to seek

the very wind

which will blow in

sails of our lives

after kruzenshterna I

returned home and

practically from

Airport

right with all things

by car went to

on

Russian-Chinese

expo from where I brought

in Ufa a hospitable

the news that

us in 2017 after all

opens

Russian-Chinese

incubator and if you

think that on this

history finalize ruyutsya

happy ending you

deep

are mistaken

now let’s just

think with you what

same way all this

happened to me

now I understand that

independently one and a half

years ago

business education

young people

entrepreneurs we

would not have come up with

accelerator

social projects

would not go to moscow

until the brand cuckoo

I would not have known

kruzenshtern I’m not

would go to

Travel would not

invited to the forum

young leaders

Brix weld

I would not have recognized

Russian Chinese

the incubator did not go

would be in Yekaterinburg and

probably in the Ufa would not

this project was opened

understand all these

events appearing on

first glance

absolutely not

connected with each other

other intertwine

in such a night

amazing rope

every subsequent

event on could not

it does not happen

previous

for no such

planned

there is a name

black swans this

the name was given to them

American

Lebanese economist

seven

years and for these events

difficult

projected

which are changed in

root the course of ours with you

he came up with a life

this title is not

they could either put

as is customary today and

it’s fashionable to say they

occurred with us in

most inept

the moment is just us

etched it was

by the wind in

sails of our lives

we showed miracles

flexibility at lightning speed

reacted and quickly

adapted to

emerging

opportunities

so all that I’m talking about

told

possible and now with

your permission

I would like to tell

about another story

they have one more black

the swan

and related to

krugenstern it

absolutely real

history that

occurred in 2000

this is an example of this

exhausting terrorism

captain crew

Krusenstern in 2000

year kruzenshtern

participated in the world

race worlds thicker

criminally millennium

from the Canadian city

halifax through

atlantic in amsterdam

kruzenshtern was

undisputed favorite

this regatta

it competed

The biggest

sailboats from all over

the world on July 24 took place

start but on July 30

all vessels

competing in the race

received a signal

distress signal sos with

Polish court on

woe, I happened there

affliction

22-year-old crew member

girl joanna cr lens cap

fell 25 meters

height from the mast on

roof of the felling

her condition was

very heavy none

from competing

ships that were

not nearby

responded to this

signal for help and

despite the fact that they

were very close all

same frigate

on and prestigious no one

does not want to leave

race everyone thought that

someone else should

do it

captain of the mountain

refers directly to

captain

kruzenshterna

Gennady from

Kolomna with

requesting their salvage

because at

krusenstern and

is high

qualified

gennady physicians

Vasilevich takes

the decision falls in

the price of loss

valuable time is not

leaving the race he

the Polish

ship and girl by a miracle

forward to us at

board

kruzenstern

continue the race

state

is estimated as

superheavy

numerous

trauma to hip fractures

and pelvis bruises

internal organs

pressure 60 to 40 and it

continues to

plummet

the decision was made

that her in an urgent

order need

deliver on

coastal hospital

at stake is human

life and captain

kruzenshtern and

make decisions in

point number two he

notifies the racing

the organizing committee is removed

from the regatta includes all

engines and goes to

meeting with the Canadian

helicopter

rescue service

to give them this

the girl

the weather sharply

deteriorated with

horrific weather

conditions and in August 1

in the evening with the wind

fields 21 meters per second

and disturbances or over

four meters

managed to transfer

John Tselinsky on

this helicopter

her condition was

critical

but there was hope

then the crew made

a real feat in that

time when none of the

ships

did not even respond

help our crew

at the cost of refusing

participation in the race decided

save him but if you

think that on this

history

ends then you

you are mistaken because

begins my very

beloved and involved

captain of the ship

decides

return to the point

number 2 and continue

he notifies the race

race organizing committee

their plans

seriously at first

do not take this

request you outsiders

you are on the insurmountable

distance to you

impossible even

reduce distances

half

but the captain’s crew

believe in victory know

what happened next

learn the turn

he allowed

returns to the point

number 2 and starts

and at this time on

approach to Europe

vanguard of ships

competing

gets into lab fat

streaky

you compete under

sails and not all

stopped and

kruzenshtern goes

north of the main

groups of ships

adjustable

tailwinds

Atlantic

cyclones and after 20

days after the start

Races on August 13

kruzenshterna

crosses the final

line showing

the best time even without

accounting adjustments

on the rescue of john xr

It was

a convincing victory

crew hey captain

committed then 2

feat first

saved man later

did the impossible and

won this race here

such a story

[applause]

we are we we are with you

we live in an epoch of tsunami

shaped changes

which can not

plan

but not all

phenomena that

occur in our

your life are

harbinger of collapse

our hopes

if they look

at first so it is necessary

look for the same one

the wind in your sails

and then all

can change and

returned to Ufa

back to the Russian

Chinese

incubator with news

about the fact that in Ufa

this

the project was

make a huge

work from

site search and

financing then

just

lobbying for this

project here on

territories

in front of

entrepreneurial

community and

bodies of state power

when I was told at 10

time that a willow you

nothing here is

will

organize

I started just for the sake of

interest in the diary

record all these

situation when

anyone starting from

of the writer

Facebook comments

finishing

authoritative

experts said

me that you have nothing

will not work

81 times for 81 times for

the last year I

heard that I

nothing will come of

the last year I

spent two weeks in

Beijing and Shanghai

studied the work

largest

business incubators

these cities had

squeals on and quantity

flights moscow-ufa

held such

quantity

negotiations that

probably a book can be

write and know what

everything turned out well for us

we all turned out on

This slide you see

how is the demonstration going

dressing

rescue

wetsuit for

Kruzenshtern is not

on time

briefings on

safety

during this scene

very

interesting dialogue

which fired me in

memory is one of

newcomers are asking

assistant captain

Tell me if

wreckage by how much

the longer I live in

this suit if I

I’ll be in icy water and

mate

answers very

interesting phrases this

information to you nothing

will not give

you will live exactly

as much as you

solve them yourself and

want to live have been

cases when a person

received a heart attack

myocardium simply

jumping overboard and even

not coming in contact with

water and there were

situation when

person for 8 hours

spent in ice

I then water three more

days on the rescue

raft without food and water

survived

with you too much

thoughts are too afraid

failures are afraid

action but unsuccessful

will only damage us

to the extent of

which we ourselves

let them

do with us like I do

promised

a short story about

how did I get up

on the mast for 3 weeks

back before sending

in the second journey

on the Kruzenshtern and

I’m in training

refuses back here

I directly refuse

I really can not

walk my doctor

strongly

Recommends me

abandon

travel in general

that me naturally

does not like any

lifts to the mast and

can be no question but

nevertheless for one

the day that

I told myself the mast

In the morning it’s on my back

It will be exactly

as much as you

you will solve it yourself

do in a day

ascents to the mast she

stopped feeling ill

but you know what I mean

understood the most

interesting in everything

this is happiness but also

at the end point it is in

travel we with you

constantly somewhere

run constantly

seek some

results c or

goal results

our brain is like

unbuttoned lip

constantly carries us

somewhere ahead

is vital here and

now and every

instant each

second for valuable

when the senior boatswain

one year ago banned

me to rise on

mast to the top and

I was upset but I

the whole next year

lived the goal that I

finally I will conquer this

mast and that’s when I

climbed up to 55 meters

experienced an unprecedented

euphoria but with an admixture

sadness and because

goal is achieved that

now I’m right there

set himself a new

purpose but about it somehow

next time i

I’ll tell you

you also understood that

the most difficult and the most difficult

that’s what you can not

underestimate everything

this is the command

Be on the boat whether

you are in life

project strong shoulder

person or people

who are next to you

if they are nearby

your like-minded people

people are people who

are close to you by

values that would

Black swans are not

your

life as well as strong

the wind did not throw yours

boat as a sliver

Ascoli you can do everything

overcome all that

than I told you

in his speech

this we can and

should learn from

children

on this slide you

see as children

are engaged in children’s

sailing section

look what u

them small boats

and how skillfully they are with them

are managed for each

such a boat in

time with racing

competitions

is not issued

bucket in order to

children during

competition

scooped out into the water

which is constantly

overflows through

edge during roll

know how from yachts and

class of these I though

is called on

official language

sailing this

class is called

optimists

these boats are called

opti-myst and what am I from

wholeheartedly, I wish all

you will find the one

the wind in your sails

life is never

lose heart of all

forces overcoming

failure and enjoying

thereby

every

bead smart and of course

dream and put

in front of you all

more and more goals

thank you very much

Thank you
