it has become an exclusive dream
of children is the question when
children even many of us have
to remember at this moment we do not dream
as doctors we do not dream like
teachers we do not dream like superheroes
we practically do not dream like firemen
trying to save the world
all these dreams have really
something in common these dreams reflect
that however small we are
we are born with that with those desires of
contribute with this desire to give our
granite of sand to improve this world
to change this world it ‘s as if already
we were born with that fervent desire to
always help others
we are talking about values values like
generosity
we are talking about concepts who
knows complexes like solidarity
the children we did not know in that
then the concept the definition and the
scope of these values
however, we already yearned inside
our being true testimony be
real testimony of these feelings of
solidarity of these feelings of
generosity
that’s when that same child boy
twenty years later when adult
when professional
many of the many attitudes of the
many decisions actions
they are even meeting with
those dreams that were had since childhood
that is , we are moving away a bit from
those of that value of solidarity we are
being contrary to those values of
solidarity and not only that
we forget but practically what
we replace that solidarity value
with that antivaler of selfishness and
we really replace it with all the
possible mutations that the
attitudes as selfish attitude
professional selfish attitudes are
family members do not do this because
It does not suit me or I do this because
enrich and ridiculous comic v
I do this why
it gives me a little bit of fame, I do this because
I will have more money
are egocentric attitudes are
selfish attitudes we are thinking about
us as not as a priority but
as the only priority
that was not what we dreamed 20 years
back with regard to ourselves
in short little by little there is a
undock a mismatch one of
harmony between our dreams of
children and between our actions among
our decisions of adult and of
professional
something is happening or something is
skipping ahead later we’ll see the one
to give context what is coming
let me tell you one more than one
history an experience that I lived in
this city in the city where I better
where he studied electronic engineering
in 2004 approximately when
followed electronic engineering here
same in the utpl
I was lucky to attend two events
they were continuous events will be events
almost followed a month apart a
event in guayaquil and an event in quito
the final product of these events or the
product or the final message of this
event was catastrophic really a
total frustration like I mentioned
a complete frustration the fact of
to realize
in that 2004 a huge clear gap since
the professional point of view a huge
gap between what was done in Quito and
guayaquil and what was being done in
that time in loja the realization
of that huge almost unattainable gap
begins to generate frustration starts
even to generate disappointment of the
city in which he was forming
the one in the city where I was
living as Israel said
as for there is always this kind of
experiences always two options for
take first to become a victim of this
system is already there if it exists
become a victim of this system is
the mean accepting resign
professionals who are trained in these
cities have higher levels of
the professionals who are trained in
small cities
the companies are going to have more impact
those who left in this city is
that the companies that are formed in those
small cities intermediate cities
what the theory calls you and you start
think atrocities as is loja
of the worst scenarios in Ecuador
places to follow a career
technological is perhaps the worst of the worst
scenarios in the equator to generate
technology or even worse to make a
red technology entrepreneurship
from those worst places
based on this analysis then I decided
put effort on two objectives the
first objective to focus my profession
with a sense of usefulness focus that
profession with a sense of purpose
what I do as a professional
I tried to help I tried to contribute to
environment in which you go back to the city
in which month in flight
who knows at that time did not sound like
this way between lines I wanted
say the following thing if I have to do
something good about my profession with impact
in society because the priority is going to
have loja the priority in what I
I was going to have loja because it’s the
city where I’m not forming is the
city is the city or he or the environment
in which I am unwinding
first aspect second goal in the
which I will devote efforts in this
decision
Convert staying at that moment one
of the worst places for me at the level
national to generate technology or to
make technological entrepreneurship one of
the worst places then convert it to
one of the best places within
our country in generating technology and
better still in general knowledge
tuned with these goals or with these
directed efforts I ‘m going to
comment on three acts act number one
we had to take the first step
because the blow was hard
this blow of self-esteem that goal
of frustration was very strong
we had to be a first step is the
The first step was to create a club
robotics a tech club
institutional and demonstrate first to
us to the institution and first to
ourselves the new professionals
and second the equator that in loja is made
very good technology and with an excellent
show performance that was the first
objective and also demonstrated
we had a good experience between 2007
and 2009 we achieved recognitions
we won prizes but nevertheless these
awards these recognitions will be in
academic events at events
technological but something positive I can
rescue from this phase
we started the process and second and other
possible positive that I rescue from this one
of this number one act as you
he mentioned is that we generate opinion
public
we saw in the newspapers not only in the
because there is local as telling a
nephew we saw in the newspapers of
national distribution
loja protagonist in technological event
or loja one of the protagonists in
technological event were competitions
technological breakthroughs were contests
academics but we were starting
it was even up to my way of seeing
the first time that lohan be presence
from the technological point of view there
only within the city but to
Nacional level
there was a problem all this is the
problem is that I’m doing things
that I like I’m programming
we were a team not only I was a
team we are programming developing
systems the things that we liked
passion as steve says
I’m doing what I like, I’m
doing what I love but without
But there is still something to fill everything
what we really created was not
thought so that in a very period
close is benefiting someone
that is, solve a real problem not
the projects were thought like that and
who knows him many years ago
error of the academy was this and think
projects with small cycles of
life six months a year ended
everything and this does not reach society
or that does not reach the environment in which
unwraps the institution or the team
of work of this institution
then there was a hole that if
fill there was still a gap that
hollow is that there was a low sense of
purpose of my profession
what I did my profession did not
They used ag what I did my profession
it was not useful yet for anyone and that
sense of profession will lead us to
a second level to keep looking
the act number 2
that aspect was missing that aspect
I joined my efforts as a professional in
something that can be really used to
solve a problem a real need
the best way to get this link
this synergy between an effort and that
that effort a solution is encausen
real is a company
so with two professionals
excellent that happen to be colleagues
we are a technological entrepreneurship
with this technological undertaking
we went up one more step in the direction
of utility of the profession in the
sense of purpose of my profession
did not create things by creating the
we created things because I was going to
use someone like that use a
city a company an organization or
a person were going to be used by
someone to solve the problem
what was the positive aspect that
professional impact that that sense of
utility of the things that are done inside
of the profession will be useful in the
society likewise in parallel not
it was only achieved not only was it achieved that
loja be one of the protagonists of
technological events events
academics the following was achieved and not
thought even five years before it
managed to have the loja present at
national level as one of those of the
provinces where technology is generated and
that technology is not only used in
loja if not used nationwide
an achievement with respect to the city a
positive impact that we always
we look towards the city in which we
we act act number three in the
2014 approximately we started two
fundamental research projects
with an excellent work team two
projects research projects
research that has a philosophy
combine technology with
inclusion help inthe case the
people with motor disabilities in the
another case help education
inclusive help education
special for children to children
blind people filmed in these experiences of
evaluate these projects causally or
coincidentally that sense of utility of
the profession that sense of utility of
my profession went up a step yet
higher
We were not just doing what
which we were trained not only
we were making systems that were going to
operate to real needs
we were really solving
problems specific problems of
vulnerable sectors problems
sector-specific nominally
unattended the sense of utility to
which serves my profession within the
world within society was at a
superior level and in parallel already with
regarding loja we locate lohan no
only on the national map or on the map
Latin American we locate hostels in the
global map when with one of these two
Projects
we won a competition a medal
gold in a global competition of
technology
we are not talking about a competition
Latin American we do not talk about a
regional competition
We are talking about a global competition
of Latin American technology was
represented by loja ecuador was
represented by loja and loja and good
particularly our group from the
university won the gold medal in
this world competition then
we did this in parallel
we want to impact
we want to help loja to cooperate to that
project to that effort that we what
we put some years ago and the
conclusion of these three acts is the
following
loja already for some years now
stopped being one of the worst
scenarios to generate technology and I
I dare to say that it is now of the
best scenarios or the best
ecosystems to generate technology not
it only generates technologies but generate
technological entrepreneurship and what was
the motivation the motivation was that
incessant search or this search
continue to feel useful from
our profession towards society
that desire to positively impact
from our profession to society
dual environment in which we are
unwinding us to the environment in which
we are living
this story makes me put on the table
on the discussion table not on the table
served as is spoken lately in the
discussion table a question one
ask that I always make it a
question maybe simple but very
important the why what am I
committing efforts in this project
so that I am allocating efforts in
this activity so what is that
Reason to be
why is it a question for
many of us
today many of our attitudes to
which is a question answered stockings
so that also in areas is a
question answered not with all the
sincerity or with all the honesty of
case because first because it’s comfortable
it’s like not having what car to confront
If we make a decision if
US
we undertake an action is comfortable not
have another car confront us with
these decisions with these actions
also why because it’s comfortable not
have to think deeply about what is
that I can do in my city that
can do what I can do in my
neighborhood that is what I can do in
my environment or what I can
do with the people around me from the
point of view of my profession in that
can contribute for this comfort not the
we answer correctly
or worse yet
we do not even do it to this
ask why what am I
doing what I’m doing and
really if we did not ask the for
what and if we do not answer it
correctly what are we going to
get a meaningless action and
meaningless actions come to projects
meaningless and if this is reiterative
these projects without meaning that what
it happens unfortunately we are going to have a
meaningless life a profession without
sense solves things after a
period vanish resolves vanishes and
there is no accumulated experience there is no
an accumulated contribution to unemployment mentor
here and one of the objectives of this
talk is to propose three commitments
commitments that are real a deal of
gentlemen and a deal between lady and
gentleman three compromises commitment
number one the number one commitment
we must change the way we see
our profession
we hear many cross out of the
passion we have to follow the passion is
one of the elements
another element is that neither
we must see the profession as the the
means of life or the route or route through which
we make a living
this income measured only by the
blood for the income is another of the
elements we should see our
profession with a sense of utility in
the society with a sense of contribution to
world is to say with a sense of
purpose profession and purpose
second commitment
let’s break that gap let’s break that gap
between profession and purpose as the
we break make that little attempt
ask ourselves what is the
main reason what is that reason that
push us is reasonable that reason between
quotes that pushes us to do the
things
this question why does it push us to
look for purpose more than push us
helps us to look for a purpose
our profession is an excellent
tool so that it requires answers
not superficial not half answers
it requires deep answers answers
reasoned so do not rely on the
community to answer them so that
so that is also a question that
helps us to find the link is
that question or are those born
here the answers that make us born
the bond that we have
between it and everything around us the
natural environment or the people
that are around us so that
let’s break that separation gap
between profession and third purpose
third commitment
do not look for our profession as a
selfish act do not try that our
profession be this selfish act where
yes it is a selfish act I want to look for
only and exclusively as manufacture
buildings like making machinery like
develop software how to create
projects like creating web pages like
develop devices like create
companies and we’re just looking for that
aspect in our professional search
Well, it’s going to be a selfish act
remember this if we give ourselves
account these acts of success
professional to live the passion are
acts that are centered on ones are
selfish acts
while if we look for the
purpose while busts and
We seek to be agents positive impact in
the environment in which I live does not
it just does not have to do with us
exclusively has to do with
other has to do today involves the
contribution to others
involves saving the world so
let us be that generation that dares to
save the world
thank you very much
