ashley

thank you good evening May 20 ,

year 2006 open your eyes at six o’clock

the morning was in a hotel in hong

kong

took just 15 minutes asleep my

body was not asking for rest takes

working many years many hours the

body did not react to me

life has given me many warnings themselves

that I had ignored for that

I was anxious to grow as

businessman was in hong kong a hotel

first

my husband was with me that day at the

that on the trip and my body does not

I reacted I had appointments that day and

I had to keep those appointments because

on the last day of appointments that I

I had on that trip and I had to go

well it was at that point that the

companies are or you’re going up and

back is great or you go home

down and fails and I did not have the

failure as an option in my life I

I had to win

had to win this fight had to

get those contracts

I did everything possible to get to that

moment and in my opportunity I was not going to

waste jonas and a half of a

middle class family full of love

where my parents were always

delivered to us in the year of 1980

and parents from a crisis

economic takes the decision to move

to Monterrey and we go with one hand

forward and one back literally and my

father told me never lose sight

look towards a goal because we were going to

was always a child being a little

complicated I always had problems of

Asthma allergies

every second third week or every

second third month was going to fall to the

hospital and at that time there were no

resources that exist today that do not

puts a little pill and cedric is cured

all diseases

at that time there was

make some complicated processes my

dads were 10 is one of the great

doctors who told us that he told me he told me

my mother that the sport that is going to me

remove my asthma was a passion for

the sport that I liked the most but it was

the one that was going to cure

I started working on that I started to

get into the swim and I started

make successful swimming and am neither

at the highest level stronger more

chunky and the one that has the most indices

tall

rather I’m short and choncho but

I knew that if you have a good vision

and I visualized what I wanted

do

I was surely going to reach my goals

I have an experience that happens to me

It usually happened to me when I swam

before each test before each

national before each competition

important we went to bed on a sofa

with a stopwatch in hand and I

visualized in their vaishali marks in my

test and nothing exactly at the same pace

that was swimming in the pool that

visualization gave me a vision

different in the area of ​​business

They keep passing the time and I followed

making very restless boy at 20

years was going to end my career and in that

moment they gave me the one that at the time

it was the worst news of my life is not going to

going to the Olympics is not

good enough that failure that I

I had as a swimmer as an athlete

it was the most father thing that could happen to me

in my life

make decisions at that time always

of my business and I got married and I married

the best woman than any man

happened to this woman he met in a

truck from the other side of the world

if that woman was my better half and

because orange fan because we understood

which will be understood yes

we can do and what was it because

we could be our marriage

that’s something that we can never

be put on the list when we start

to work listening to the wind a little

I started my business because in the year 94

again my father went into a crisis

economic

those crises that usually come from

that

prey my father had ambition to

grow and a loan in dollars and

came the 94 that all hit us

in a frightening devaluation and then

pay the debt

within that tragedy that was

passing the family we

we agreed that he ever had

been down and after we were very

above and we understood that happiness does not

It depends on your purchasing power can

to be happy with or without anything depends on your

attitude and attitude that we

we grab as a family to be happy and

my father told me that day we are

wrapped up an economic crisis and I do not know

if I’m going to be able to get out of this

but what I tell you, I ‘m going to work

until the last day of my life for

leaving you is a good man and a

good reputation not to say that

you are children of the person who does not

paid and I will do everything possible

pay until the last cent of that

debt and that was another great example that

let my father started the business because

I worked with my dad in the factory

of textiles I did not like the industry

said my father tip export to

receive foreign currency

I is that it started exporting and tell me

mind that they gave me a very bad service

the shipping company the retailers and

carriers and that’s where I do not

I understood why there was not someone

educated in that industry of a good day

an angel fallen from heaven a German

that was a supplier supplier of mine

invites to work with the issued one

recommendation from someone in monterrey to

that recommendation did not answer then

lost today but if you’re looking for the

person between 30 and 40 who have

Good English who knows the industry

I have 22 years old very good

but I want to tell you there we start

from below and network and my attitude is not

they conquered and we started an adventure

together we started this company to be

this company made me fascinated me

feel alive makes you feel vibrant alive

reached a level of ecstasy

spectacular there was nothing else in my

life that I was my company loading and

worked day and night to such an extent

that every day

at two in the morning the

alarm clock to answer my emails

with china and I sat down to write fast

and my mails with china

at four in the morning I’m going to sleep

at six in the morning or the area on

alarm clock and I will work it came to

10 10 at night and it will be my diary

live because because that is the winner

of the competition and it will be my advantage

competitive that I did not know they were going to be

but he carries his weapons and he was going

to answer in an educated and fine manner and

elegant to the people who were giving me

the trust

that hard work led me to take

good and bad decisions in my life

I learned good things and not so good

I fell to my mouth 47 times but I

I raised 40

nothing or nobody is going to stop me

in that eagerness to grow in that desire to

this squeeze my body as much as

I could take a plane to China because

I had to close some contracts and my

word what my father taught me

I counted a lot could not be wrong

at that time a crisis where the

shipping companies decided to give it more space

to the South American ports that the

Mexican ports has its cargo upload

the containers were not giving me

space I had a promise with my

friends

This freight transport company

world was based on freight rates

maritime and for me not having

space the boats is like for someone

get raw material and that was my goal

live to china to be able to get the

China step by Sunday night

but no

forgiveness comes to china one Sunday for the

night I did not sleep on Sunday I did not sleep

Monday I did not sleep on Tuesday 9 Wednesday and

Thursday

it was six in the morning on the 20th

May had the most appointments

important in front of me but I

I felt bad I felt tired I felt a

cramp on my spine a

discharge of energy that is record of

mycosis is my neck and I fell for

the trapeze that moment I said it’s not going to

stop nobody I am superman batman

spider man together because to me nobody

stop was swimmer

I was never an alcoholic I never took

I tried drugs then nothing goes to me

to stop

I am strong I went to my meetings

it was very good and that day and night

We had some to a dinner with very

important that he has come from tokyo to

dine with us we were in that

spectacular beautiful place in hong kong

When my wife arrived, I feel bad

something is weird I have a pain in the

chest that happen to take a coca cola

relax from love something is wrong

suddenly a strong blow inside me

chest hits me inside said to call

the ambulance

the second blow I fell unconscious and what

next thing I know is that open your eyes

in the ambulance and the man tells me that

it ends in a heart attack and my

eyes said it can not be because it is

not even

I am 31 years old and have three daughters I have three

daughters who are tiny

I can not go we get to the hospital my

wife very bravely he takes the

phone and the doctor told him

monterrey tells me the doctor is

happening I’m I’m stockach or send me

and we send the electrocardiograms

electrocardiogram stage and tells you

the dr

that is not a heart attack your son

your husband has a blow on his web

crisis what you have is a discharge

Nerves spectacular and have a problem

in the heart but this is not based

in the theme of the heart what you have

you are a nervous subject

we had to listen to the doctors

from Mexico we follow the instructions

of the Chinese doctor who wanted to make me

a procedure with heart and

surgeries and we did not pay attention to him because

we trust Mexican talent

I was a few days in the hospital and

many others in a hotel when

We decided to return to Mexico

we took the flight back two hours and

mean after takeoff that returns the

same sensation and the same tapping on

the heart at 40 thousand feet tall and

started to convulse and a

doctor who raises and thankfully he

I got an injection and I fell asleep

the rest of the way for a year

I was struggling with my greeting

I started delegating because I could not

work I did not even want to go to the

office could not react to the

impulses of my mind I wanted to raise the

hand and my body ignored me

I could not sleep anxiolytics

antidepressants what pill want

talk with psychologists with psychiatrists

he was drivers in mexico and his

drivers in the united states and the

response was the same is

overloaded with work you have a

that stress overload overload

stress had taken me to this extreme

after a year

I made the decision that nothing and nobody

will stop me

I spoke with my husband I told him I want to go

to the Caribbean

I want to lay a house in the middle of the

nothing and I want to be there only with you and

with my daughters to connect with the

nature

that day we fly not your vacation

we got there and the light went out on

this little island

we went to the beach I told my daughters

let’s see the stars and lay down the

three girls in me for nothing with my

wife on my shoulders

seeing the stars and the immensity of

I started to cry like a child

little one and I decided that I’m going to do the

happiest person in the world and that nothing

no one is going to stop me and that I’m not going

namely the day I will die

I have no idea what day will be that

but I do know that I’m going to do that day

a happy person and that I will be

happy and that I will give love to all

sides and play distribute smiles and that goes

to try to be the most whole person

of the planet because he believes in the first

recipe to be happy that you think is

know what we are going to die

sooner or later we all go all

we are in line and understanding that this

process has a final

we have to look for the moment we have

to use today

I’m going to tell you three things that have

helped makes me a happier person

integrates not all the people that happy

grateful but if all the people who are

grateful and happy

we all have to thank all

we have to say thank you for what

we have and so we do not have

we have to find the balance in

life

base our relationships on trust and

respect and that is confidence trust is

know what you say to another person

it’s going to be better than if you did and

Respect respect is the right that has

other people think differently than

you because God gave us two or rigid ones and

a mouth to listen to the double and talk

half and we have to listen

to people and have respect for what

others say and hear what they can

think differently and we may not be

agreement but there’s the wealth of the

lifetime

we also have to find our

balance in what I am I want to be and

what is right what society

accept I can be a junkie

I want to be drug addicts and but the

society does not accept me I can be a

engineer

I must be an engineer but study the

sixth grade

then you get frustrated I’m a dreamer

if I can not be the doctor because my

grandpa and fifth generation of

doctors were all doctors and I can

I can be, if I am a doctor, it must be

because society does not accept perfect

but I do not want I want to paint it

you have to have a balance to be able

be happy you have to be exactly

in between to get happiness between

what you are what you want to be and what

must be

we also have to learn from the

experiences that are the experiences

what gives you life

Experience is what you get when

they do not get what you want

experiences what you have when you do not

they get what you’re looking for that is

the experience that we all have that

work for that and fail is part

of the process and as he said cerrato some

of the speakers we all want

immediate satisfaction nowadays as

the iphone gives you everything

we all want and look satisfaction

I will speak last of the last

row but the difference that more me

like all there ‘s a story to that

that explains what honesty is what

your integrity since I want to tell you a

I have to listen once

He is a gentleman in a hotel with his partner

they ask for some pizzas arrive the pizzas and

in the pizzas reaches 1,500

dollars the case those 1,500 euros in

house the lady is excited and says

we won I wanted everything is still

no lady

these dates we these 1,500 dollars not

they are ours and we have to return the

sir is to be seen by his clothes and

goes straight to the pixar store

Lord comes with the pizzeria and

it has people coming out people say that

happened he pointed out that the power

sir I got this one over with 1,500

dollars inside the picha this money

it’s not mine and if you’re honest not 100% in

this the lord of the chips tells you

just made the day

those were my savings were the gifts

of my children and keeps them in

a pizza box behind a

desk

we sold so many chips today that they had

that being that box and someone did not give

that was my money so I

to put all social networks your photo

I’m going to put on facebook on twitter on

Everywhere I’m going to do an interview

in esradio for

they all accept that they know all of mexico

that you are an honest person is the

sir, do not even think about it because

the woman I’m with at the hotel does not

it’s mine , that’s the difference

gentlemen between honesty and integrity

integrity is doing the right things

even when nobody is watching you

we have to do the things that must

be when nobody is watching you

that’s integrity and ended with a

I count and my last advice is

family with two children go to a train

an Auschwitz concentration camp

the youngest son lose shoes clothes

for the tizona brother scolding is a

silly how do you think right now

these moments because he loses his shoes

I can not believe what I ‘m seeing

right now the shoes on that stand on

train down to the child and it was the last time

who saw that child

what is the moral

please

every time they say goodbye to someone

time they say goodbye to someone

dismiss yourself as if it were the last time

that they will see it because life is not

purchased

but I guarantee you I swear that the

day my cycle ends in this world

can you tell what incredible life I had

thank you very much

[Applause]
