!Dándole, la pelea al NO! | Ricardo Leyva | TEDxMedellin


[Music]

a few years ago I was reading a

book and in the first paragraph of that

book there was something that talks about a

wonderful architect who is called

Frank Lloyd Wright is an architect

american by is possibly one of the

parents of the architecture of the century

past there was a journalist who

I asked this teacher what was

the best work or the work of his life

imagine that you were

asking that question at this time

we thought three seconds

which is the best idea is the best work

of their life

Mr. Wright’s answer

I had my head convulsed

I think a lot

he answered my best work is next

for more than 20 years he has worked with

creative the creative are people

it really is incredibly wonderful

they are supremely wild intuitive

but I have to tell you that always

thought that creatives tend to

stay with your successful ideas of the

past with his past awards that to

I have changed my life a bit because

what I like most about me from my job

is to make everything possible and I

I found that there are many people

my grief in life do not fight and give everything

for making the impossible possible

many have a button

many of us have a button the no button

we do not have around here we know why

there

everyone knows where the button may be

of it is not impossible you can not not

let’s achieve

I do not think we get that button

I think it’s me year if you

ask my mom she is going to

answer that I was not installed

you think about it has not been

tremendously studying

I believe that in life they have given much

great value

I’m sure many of you in

some time they have been taught to say

that do not teach us more to say no

that no doubt you the psychologists

have given a lot of power because finally

is the mechanism to teach the

people to take care not to take

risks to possibly not let the

other people will attack their beliefs

and that’s where I had and I gave myself

mind that what I like is to give

the fight to not because finally

I found that the opposite is not the

yes let’s also think if maybe the

people in the world what most

they are afraid is yes they are more afraid

yes and no

for me the opposite he is not the word

unlimited impossible

finally to me he does not add is what I

opens life to new possibilities for

find paths that others do not like

They do not like to travel to possible me

I found to find opportunities in

where other people just in trouble

who is of you remember the

Colombia campaign the risk is that you

you want to stay

remember that campaign showed me that

possibly he undamaged becomes

contagious and it becomes possible

this was a campaign that had to go to

year in the air passed one of the worst

times of the image of our country in

the outside

it was a screen that should come out when

Colombia needed that massively

many foreign tourists came

to be able to offer all that we had

in our territory but the studies

of perception in our world

territory was violent and the

drug trafficking

they remember that not in this city yes

that it is and that they lived it then that

does not know many people is that this campaign

was born from a resounding no of a resounding no

to a risky proposal

The first thing we wanted to do was to do

that were the tourists of the world

who will speak to their fellow countrymen

because you will imagine that it was

difficult to believe us some

Colombian than we were

talking and that we all

agreement

it was better for a tourist to talk to him

coterráneo or a German tourist

speak a Spanish tourist and in that

we all agreed but what

first thing that occurred to us was that

we should attack that pain stronger than

We were facing, they remember

we are talking about a perception of

violence and a perception of

drug trafficking

we have to choose one of the two

what happened to them

was to create a movement of tourists

addicted to Colombia in the framework of a

world meeting of tourism ministers

that he had never come to Colombia and that

we would receive for the first time

we present this idea to the country was

japanese chinese arab gringo showing the

people when they arrived at the airport

we are your addicts to colombia

obviously this could not be done

I was a fan of this because I chose myself

I knew that our image at that time

drug trafficking was much stronger

way that the other two back

all of us that go back and

revise deeply a little

more studies and it was winner that

side of that of violence but it’s that

when one has not add it likes

get into creative problems they went

to think and they found this story on

barrel in 1968 to make a movie and

I knew the two great loves of my

lifetime

the clinic wife Cartagena city and with

both still alive happens everyone the

Walled city is magical mysterious

phantasmagoric full of history and

stories that are written all 10 and

the Colombians

your courtesy your joy your levels

if you ask me why I stayed because

here I live like in a movie

colombia the risk is that you love

stay

we already learned the second lesson that

I was very excited and it was putting at risk

our favor think about it we are saying

to the world because not only that was the best

possibility I’m fine in other campaigns

but believe me, the best is always

for coming the best campaigns are for

come as much as you as our

country has many possibilities

honest with this story I just want

leave them a thought

the next time you have an idea that

have an innovation have something that

want to give to the world and make it

Well the first thing that will happen is that

they are going to descend the button of no of

way you turn it off, because the

problems are the best way to one

learn to face things thoroughly and

take them out

no doubt ahead I do not tell them to leave

to watch the videos is responsible that

see the real ones because the barriers are

the ones that teach them to jump to you is

much higher

he did not hurt he helped me and my wife to

not accept that my son who has a

unknown genetic syndrome will not speak

or did not eat by mouth because that was

what he said unites very important doctor

in the united states your goals in

problems

take risks

put at risk in your favor

this is my son tomás eloy to this one in his

first math quiz

the manu is speaking totally but already

talks a lot about how damaged it made possible

that we made the first beaches of

world at 2,400 meters above the level of

sea

also made it possible for those beaches

they were back a month ago on

The side of the river sena

I do not add made floor I fly

I do not add that Colombia was the

first country in the world that made a

sale or live in the history of the i comerç

and he did not add and his that presidents

Colombians and executives around the world

whole took the first time

symbolic nose of the company of

biggest entertainment in the world

circus of the sun and live an experience

unimaginable invented by a Colombian

he did not add also made a song

that was made for people to

see in four parents

become the anthem or one of the

most important signs of colombia in the

world

I want to close and tell you that you

what can they do

before leaving in this room is to damage the

no button

the only thing I ask of life is that

nobody’s repair

thank you very much

the earth
