La réussite n’est souvent qu’une revanche | Wafa Ghorbel | TEDxNabeul


hello I present then yeah done

take up the university romands ser and

singer I’m going to talk to you a little bit about

my experience

so I started my life as a

cactus I started my school life

by a failure I had a lot of

badly cashed and that I had a lot

of evil therefore to digest has exceeded and

that I lived as a real

drama

I was not taken to the competition of

6th grade primary

this famous this famous contest that pass

children so around the age of 11

and to go from primary school

in high school I was the first

not only of my class but of my

school I think I just forgot

to write down my ID on each of

copies of the exams which would explain

this may be this result completely

unexpected so I always hated

the figures concerning the identifier

I have always been a little impulsive and

pressed fortunately it makes a difference

little with age I speak of

eagerness and impulsivity

as for the numbers that’s

not at all so I’m

suffering from chronic dyscalculia

rare for a siena stack and so at

because of a teacher who gives us

beatings because we are

was cheating in the tables of

multiplication by saying proudly with

boulemane yourte it’s jade oil valp

so costs for those who are

found in the tables of

downstream multiplication

as you know it being both

therefore the action of multiplying and that of

unfortunate typing polysemy so a

other bad memories especially that

I often had frostbite

fingers that were getting to these at

bleed the math continues to

symbolize for me this suffering

childish face punishments so

always bad calculator at

turning to this failure so to the contest

from high school to high school

imagine how could the

little girl of 11 12 years old first of

his class

obliged to redo his year in the

same school on the same benches

the same teacher while his

friends had a level they had a

level less good for most

had already gone to the other side

in the great feelings of shame of

frustration anger of injustice a

heavy burden that I would drag from

long years later

the year after I was admitted with

a 17 of average

so a nice revenge at the time or

1,17 was really worth something that is

not in our time in high school I

found my old friends

kim was one year ahead of jeans

would catch up with a good part

you know what I was doing when I

crossed them in the yard I was hiding

behind the new ones or so I

pretended not to

recognize and I make them up to the

uni

you imagine not knowing each other

recognize my old friends

so to tell you how it is

traumatic in that same high school I

is part of a pilot classes and a

second revenge I had to

get out before in spite of the

failure in mathematics and

physical sciences and you know to

because of whom and what was needed

that I stay in this same class

pilot up to the orientation that

only arrived in cannon before the ferry

those who did not have level was

excludes illico so my level in languages

luckily basically saved me

luck had started to smile at me

putting on my way a woman is

extraordinary teacher projection dati

that’s how I called it and it’s

as I still call it

today since I keep it in my

life and I would keep it until the last

until the last day

so as extraordinary konami too

as a spiritual mother thanks to her I

fell in love with the language

Arab

but although I do not speak Arabic

today especially the

literature and and literature I

wanted to say more broadly she told us

makes known and loved dresses the

novels gip years

finally the tool taimuraz roots etc and

urge us to maintain a newspaper

respondent

a writing that may inspire

unconsciously but two novels in

French language recently published

but these two novels do not represent

my first fictional writings since

around the age of 15 16 years old I wrote my

first novel a novel in Arabic language

inspired by my father’s life

who himself wrote fiction

never published and which continues

today to maintain his diary

respondent

for decades well before

my arrival in the world is from him that

I had to inherit the genes

responsible for the imagination and

writing

so I managed to stay in this

class up to orientation

I was one of four students at

to move towards a letter tray

usually reserved for the less

gifted

while in my pilot class I

always been ranked between 20th and 40th

you know because of what from

the literary orientation I am

became the first to the worst the

second one was arguing even for

sit next to me on the day of

math tests while I

knew that I’m bad so in my case

to be first is not one is not

exceptional in my case it was

really very important since

was still a revenge I

pass my baccalaureate

the second contest of my life imagine

the blue fear of failing a second

times it was with my dignity

I win it with a nice mention

for a literary it’s great comes

the second orientation a choice

crucial the Arabic language was my

first love but I wanted to

I leave France fascinates me and I

were part of the generation

antenna 2 that note capture them

alongside romances and arabic

I started to discover

french writers

some teachers and are for

something that’s how I opted

for a master’s degree in languages ​​and letters

French to go to France for a

3rd cycle had become my ultimate goal

however my parents did not have the

afford to pay for studies

abroad I absolutely needed a

state purse a purse that i swear i

managed to land the year of my

still master a revenge

at 24 I landed in France

dreams full of suitcases

four years later I am a doctor

letters I support my thesis in a

record time always fear in the stomach

I succeed with the best of

still mentions a revenge

parallel to this course

academic music has always been

there to help me overcome my fears

to say the unspeakable to live simply

to breathe a balance are music

is impossible in high school I was

active within the club

music and then as part of the

regional music group

high school student then year

my baccalaureate I was taking my lessons

of history and geography in

singing the musical memory being

at my home the strongest

so I do them later also with

the courses of civilization and history

literary

imagine what that gives a course on

the French Revolution

sing on the air of sylt europe by

example so kalfon in France I have

first sung with a band

of Tunisian students of the

schools

I’m here it’s after a

moment and then meetings and

shows allowed me to open on

other musical genres essentially

jazz while waiting to find a real

job at the height of my degree a

job that will never come I design

my first musical project I meet

a Lebanese French pianist to

the occasion of a show to which he

participle

I propose a collaboration and the

adventure starts soon after

but as life is not made that of

successes its proven to change the

voice like life is not made that of

success will come a period too

difficult as decisive with this doctorate

freshly obtained

I thought that finding a job in

my specialty was going to be simple in

good day a job in France I was

made that reality the same day

of my defense that it was wrong

to be so simple

my research director asked me

just after the defense miss

now what are you going to do

I responded on two months I would

teach at the college he did look with

an expression that I put a long time to

understand here you have to apply to

wait on average 8 to 10 years have

before the job came that had

the effect of a bucket of ice water on the

bubbling head

I had two options to pass a contest

in order to access a position

university in tunisia or stay

in France now 100 scholarships

search and look for work that does not

probably will not come true

tearing apart Tunisia I miss but

he returned and returned to

old haunt find the weight

of society give up certain

freedoms

when I was on vacation I

say I felt exile in exile

in my own country

only those who have lived this

experience could understand me the

France was also an exile that

I had deliberately chosen I had

still managed to find a

certain balance a balance

precarious but a balance anyway

the next three and a half years

will be my bohemian years

after a while I get tired of

animation in the leisure centers

because you had to live well

I still resign no answer

positive of octo rectorates forgiveness

I start a new adventure

musical with a new pianist a

French jazzman this time I

pushes further the experience of

crossbreeding already undertaken with my

first show my new duo

present a project that I call

Eastern jazz standard is articulated

around American jazz standards

but also standards of the song

interpreted in Arabic I

translate written or wrote myself the

sung texts

revenge certainly always the same

scared belly I do not know if it was

the fear of succeeding fall not succeed

end of the adventurous Parisian return have

inevitable the country has changed I

changed nothing is the same

I put it in a drawer too intimate

to be published by in tunisia in

anyway I take the parallel

adventures of the field to declining

arrangements and my words and my voice

the project does not end up disappointed I leave
