I’m doing what I really want
do I am being who really
want to be
I’m being the best version of me
that I can become until
exactly six years until
exactly six november is this one
recurring question a call to which
had not decided to attend construction
of intention my life consisted of what
that consisted of many lives that
they start very soon and they go very fast
it was the path of responsibility and the
response to that responsibility
I started working in advertising to the
20 years
at 26 the creative director a great
advertising agency doing ads
of television that everyone
he commented stopping awards at festivals
at 29
I founded my own kitchen agency and so
only four years later there was close
of 50 people working in an agency
successfully and my life consisted
it consisted of that vortex to which
I was displaced from that responsibility
keep going
where yes it is true that from time to time
when that question appeared , what is it
this
it makes sense but well because I did not know
answer it well because I did not have
time because I was with the next
Phone call
I did not do it as commented
this was true until exactly
six November, luckily there was something
in my life I kept a balance and
that gives me a vital balance that was my
wonderful companion of two children
Martin Goodman
Exactly one week ago six years
behind
We are worried because my son
Guzmán was three years and one month old and
this smile with which I invited him to
every day had disappeared
we went into a hospital thinking that
It could be something minor and up to date
next we were diagnosed
acute lymphoblastic leukemia something that
only three out of every 100,000
kids, I can not tell you
the emotion that one can feel when
a tragedy like this overwhelms you
it’s a flood that there’s no company
who can control it
in that same moment we are talking
of the day the same diagnosis just one
call to my mobile phone a
hidden number a call that never
I thought that I would have the agenda to the other
the side of the phone was death
threatened what I most wanted and
taking everything through me
it gave stability
it’s more he told me he was going to visit me
that I will call every day during
several years from that day and that if
some day we knew the hospital was
sold as an unwelcome guest
home you do not know how much that
call
At that moment I became aware that
from that second every second of
life with my son every second of life
with what I most wanted
it was going to be a gift a gift that
I thought wasted and in that connection
with this present
there were two words that resounded in that
precise precise instant within me
head
those words were for something and for something
and for something that detonated an energy in
me that pulled a will one
decision to pull forward a one
desire to build a positive future
that for something and implicit bain with a
with a conviction and that is that from
that moment this experience that
we started to live not only was it going to be a
experience that will enrich the
way of my son’s life but the
path of all those who surround you
so that same night
we keep talking about it the same
day and the same night with that for something
rumbling in my head I sat on
that light and next to my bed
son to find what he wanted to find
stories that would have gone through this
experience stories that would have
finished in positive stories that
they had lived in positive but not
I found nothing and when I found I found
account of what he was looking for and what
I was clear I saw it clear I had to open
a blog a block against our
positive story
a blog e to be counted from that
moment that experience with a halo of
positive energy and what does our
the whole family all of us who were going
to accompany and especially to eliminate
that victimhood and that poor little thing of the
mind of all those who think
in us to build a future in
positive and to project us in positive
towards him
that same night the next day
there would be the one blog between 100,000 and with
that name
one in 100,000 was the name of what
I would represent my son my son not
it was only going to be one in 100 thousand that
I had to live this disease but
that in addition to overcoming the
get amazing things that 99,999
children were not going to be able to live and
with that determination
that blog started to be blogs
our life in positive
from that moment every day consisted
in this sit me at night in front
of the computer open it and create a post
realized what I was serving my
advertising past in all this
history
Become aware of my love for
narration and by the creation of
stories and my life like that of any
now fashionable cook consisted of
build rebuild the experience
more wonderful that day take the
words separate them from thoughts
separate them emotions and if the day you have
been has not been positive
reorder the words put them
change them and realize how that
wonder that it’s just that it ‘s the
language
change the thoughts and how to turn
the thoughts change the energies and
well build an energy engine
positive of our day to day
In that way, what he gave me was the
beauty of discovering that gift that is
the present and the blog consisted of this
in discovering that greatness of the small
the little things that can happen to you
that if you do not pay attention to them they pass
unnoticed such as going up and down
a hospital bed like a
amusement park a roller coaster
or how fun it can be and what
wonderful that it can be to give you a
kiss with your son
despite having a mask or what
wonderful that you can be taking a
flight with seven pages at a time see
Grandma about their grandchildren or spend
by the hairdresser to distribute the hair
as to accompany that the path of
your son and of course how incredible
it becomes when you get to touch the
skin of your child after several months
in isolation that started aa
start something wonderful magic that is
started connecting many people
with us not only family and friends
the blog started to be a source of
inspiration for people who are
going through similar situations but
also for ordinary people who
they lived a halo of light and inspiration
and opportunity to enjoy your
I presented
simply to see an experience
like ours and really when
you are at that point you realize that
you’ve spent your whole life we spent
the whole life generating a small
thread of invisible connections that you do not see
but it ‘s what we do is that since
we get up until we go to bed
all our life but in the precise
moment when you become aware of your
present you observe it you do not know why
magically, that thread comes together and
magical connections begin to occur and
wonderful that we can reach you
imagine and this was what happened with
the blog connections arose in
circle again and again
coincidences and the houses were such that
They could not be called flukes
they had to call causality and that is
when you believe so much in that in him to
something you realize that chance
it really does not exist and it ‘s a little
same that has to do with luck the
who believes in causality works
so that they arise and make and create doors
so that they emerge while the
coincidences correspond a few and
just a matter of chance with which your
role is not actor
same as when you work so that
work him because at that time and
with those coincidences arising
what happened was that we had to
we come to a wonderful outcome and it is
that guzmán two years later sure of
solution has already left his medication but
we have a responsibility we had
created a community marveled
and we realized that you could not
to stay there is to enjoy the present and
you have to be aware you had to
serve for another so we had to
build another so that this one so that
It was November 1, November 2012
in which we want the foundation between
100,000 and with a goal we wanted
get what they are looking for
got but for all children
who suffered from childish
we wanted to get invest in
research so that all children
end up curing this disease
unfortunately a child a day in
Spain Spain only in the
diagnosed childhood leukemia and
unfortunately only 80 percent
Today is cured
that 20 percent is still the same
that decades ago why do not you
Investigate enough to get ready
this problem with that vocation of
want to work to do to produce
a change like this started the
foundation with this energy that I do not know
that characterized us again positive
Glycemia is too hard an opponent
for one but not for 100,000 and creating
innovative projects we were looking for a
little the magic that they re-emerged
the causalities and they surround us all
we created a very nice project the year
112 to solidarity that people
download to run on our behalf and to
through a single euro to euro to euro
we get the first year generates a
research grant for 75,000 euros
and the causalities did not stop happening
the people who have gotten the
dorsal that year began to donate
your celebrations weddings communions
they began to take the numbers to the
schools so that the schools run to
favor of the supermen foundation
They decided to swim across the Strait of
mallorca menorca great brands
They decided to do solidary bracelets
solidarity and never supportive people
famous not only the apus or upload their
image but it became one
between 100,000 and would cause robberies after
causality for three years
we generate three research grants
for almost 300,000 euros and in between
why
and between so much causality happened what
he has no choice but to occur
and that is that I am leaving my life of
advertising and in parallel the foundation
Believe in an innovation company
called innovates that in which in which
we work every day to help
the big companies
so that introduce it in its purpose
of company and try to impact the
world in positive
sometimes I think if I look back and
I say that is what has brought me
here where I was six years ago and
where I am now and it is as simple as
this is that connection with the present
who gave me that call from
phone and that I discovered the gift
what I was missing is all that
I brought the blog every day and that is
you really realize that this is the
key to try to find out if
it makes sense what you are doing not
and project the future in positive and it is
that paradoxically to work in the
transcendence of tomorrow in finding your
own so that they come in to know if it has
meaning not what you ‘re doing the
only way is to stop to feel and
connect with what is really
important in life because only from
there and it’s the present because only since
that present magical things happened
because suddenly what you will get is
that the future attract him so
will become present and suddenly that
dotted line that has brought you up
here from your past they give meaning to what
what have you done each and every one of the
days of your life without everything you did
all those days you would not be here
today and only from that point from that point
can accept with love who you are and
only at that point can you get that
I emerge better sometimes and it has happened to me
writing this talk live
my mother go transient madness that
you have everything that is happening is not
more than coincidence but luckily
when that happens, life gives me
small signs wonderful signs
like today is November again and
like we happen to be in the museum
of the railway
the most magical place where every day
every week we came with our son
to enjoy and project that future in
positive and with the symbol of that
what else did we want to get to the
destination station where today
we’re
sometimes I think and the path that has
brought here has given me this
the fragility that surrounds us each and every
one of us the next call that
have any of us by
phone can be from that number
hidden and not the one who speaks that no
we want to attend and we do not want to listen
but you really do not need to be and
simply enough that we give
mind that it could be like that because
from that thought we will be able to
connect with our present and
discovered the gift that is and from that
gift ask us the following questions
it makes sense what I’m doing
it makes sense what I am doing
the best I can do
I’m being the best version of me
what could it be and something I have very clear that
the fact that each and every one of the
that we are here we are here today not
it is simple and mere chance
thank you very much
[Applause]
