ashley me

Good afternoon everyone

Well first I have to make a reservation

the presenter before the previous video

has said

Then talk to Michael Angel Jenner and what

you are going to have a great time I said wait

paper wrong because I do not

I pretend we have a good time what

I intend to reflect between

all of us to think that we dream that we

imagine and that we get excited and that

is what I’m going to try to do now in

these minutes with the company also from

a person that I am going to present now I

I’ve been traveling the world for fifteen years

with my cameras or fifteen years has

travel three quarters of the world

I have seen and the known many stories

and has told some of them also of

people who have shown me that

origin does not have to determine the

future that was stet nobody of us

the ejido where born as born in what

terms

in what socio-economic social situation

politics and most of us is

true that we are caught by those

circumstances throughout

our life and we are conditioned and no longer

we know how to escape, but as I said

in all these trips I have seen so many and

so many people who had escaped

that I began to reflect to understand

to try to understand what will be

those variables and they all had

all absolutely all a denominator

there is someone in the room right now

I could say that he does not feel afraid

you are welcome

if someone says they feel they do not have

afraid of anything not raise your hand

is afraid of nothing because you have to

take advantage of it to teach us all

but it is indeed the exception

we are all afraid we are all afraid

they have instilled us since we were little

sometimes with sense but many times without

he

so we ‘re growing up with a lot of

fears but here we are afraid because

first we fear our own fear

We are afraid to feel afraid of anyone

like to feel afraid

except those four that say that the

horror movies

if you are going to see them but it’s really

lie because they know it’s a movie

it’s very scary

at that time but then everything is

normal we are afraid our way to

fulfill our dreams so that our

origin does not determine our destiny

We are afraid of not being determined

not being able to not believe enough

ourselves to say I’m going to

be able to get to that place that

I mean an uncle of mine who died

two years since we were children to my

cousins and he told us

look what a man does what another man does

and he was right suddenly there is someone who

is able to do a task to whatever

in a week and maybe we

we need a month or six months or a year

but the reality is that most of

the things that one proposes is capable of

do them and as my mother says, says son

nobody will never ask you how much

time it takes to do something or how much

effort how much sacrifice how many hours

you had to put people in there

matter this really matters to you if you

you have achieved or not therefore as

What’s really good is that you go

on the road where you want to say

fight is why he wants

hear

do it, we are very afraid of not having that

determination

we are afraid of rejection

many of us are afraid of rejection but the

question we should ask ourselves is what

rejected we are afraid

of course we will not feel the

people who love us because if people

who love us reject us who loves us

therefore it is good to learn that

sooner

we can think that we have a friend and

before a specific situation has

rejected but it’s not true

a friend can not refuse you is that

was your friend how good we know

but also says schalke to the rejection of

the society of the rest of the people

We live in a world in which all

people think of us in a better way

or worse intentional

everyone gives us advice all the

world criticizes us all the world thinks of

our life but you know how much should

really care about that you know how much

does that matter to all the people who

are able to make their origin

do not determine your destiny anything and the

reflection that we should do is the

next if we were to die

tomorrow we all die tomorrow

you know what they would do tomorrow

all those people who have allowed themselves

to think about our life that they have

allowed to give us advice that has been

allowed to judge us

you know what had happened tomorrow to continue

with his life so calm therefore

I always tell the whole world

if I’m going to die tomorrow and it’s not

willing to bury me with you not

dare to say about my life do not you

dare to judge me

do not give me advice that I do not ask

that’s exactly why we say to the

people who reject if we

we die does not care

it does not make sense we are afraid of

failure

that’s why we do not undertake many tasks

in our life but it turns out that it says is

What is failure? Failure is not having

managed to get to the place where he wants

to arrive not to have had that

achieve this achievement that you intended

Well, the reality is that not all

people who have tried to do things

in life although they have not got them

they do not feel any sense of failure

because the truth is that failure and

real feeling of failure is had

when you try and all the

people who are capable of changing their

origins and that does not determine your destiny

have been able to overcome that fear of

failure

we are afraid of not having the commitment

enough with what we have

said that we want to do with that

we want to get it but fix it I’m going to

tell how this works

the normal sequence that we all think

because they have told us this is that

first the desire of any

thing and then the will appears is

say I want to buy a new car

I want to buy a new car and then

I decide what I’m going to do everything I need to do

I’m going to work on weekends

bojan

dining out to save money

to buy that car

this is the logical model we have been told

that this is so but it is a lie

the reality is that the volitional act

will is prior to desire

it means that by the time we

we want something deeply it ‘s because

intimately we have already committed

ourselves do everything

necessary to achieve it

look how is the paradigm change

this means that when we have a

deep desire

let’s not stop trying to fulfill it because

is going to meet there is already a commitment

internal inside of us to do everything

necessary

and this is so it is a very powerful weapon and

all the people who are capable of

make its origin does not determine its

future they know it and therefore what

they run we are afraid

obviously surrender on the way to

we are all very embarrassed not only

for us it’s not what they think

others but before we explained that

you care about the fear of rejection of

rejection of who to surrender to whom

before ourselves

I can try I would love to do a

triathlon I have my radio my knee

damaged I know I can not do it but

I was listening to third mate and

it has bitten me it has bitten it gave then hey

I will try and I will stay for the

I do not give anything, I gave up, I did not arrive

as far as I could go to where

could my strength because sometimes not

we have the ability to control everything

but I have not given up and then we have

a huge fear to trust but it turns out

which is an irrational fear because look

we started by trusting politicians

so if we trust the

politicians from there since we have

afraid to trust but we trust in the

bus driver when we get on

we trust the pilot of the plane

when we get on we trust in our

heart that does not stop beating but

that I realize that most of

we trust those things

that we can not control and over which

we can not make decisions

I have no choice but to trust

that my heart keeps beating because no

I can do nothing to do it or not

do it so the jump that the

people who are capable of changing their

destiny to change the destiny that your

origin is had predetermined is that

they are people who trust they have given the

jump and they have realized that

we trust in so many things because we do not

there is no other choice than why not trust

in ourselves because he does not trust

The magic of life

why not trust in our heart and

they go through the jungle

once a guide and a girl in a

expedition and they had already entered eight

hours

I was on that expedition in India and

Suddenly she realized that

we were very far from civilization and

he asked the guide he said hey if now

I’m bitten by a snake

what would you do

the question is powerful let’s see what

the guide says no and the day told him what

next told me look at all the

problems or the whole solution to the

problems and all the answers to all

the questions we have loved

humans are contained in space

what if we stretch the arm and turn

about ourselves 360 degrees in this

space

are all the answers and he said

the bigger the problem the

space is getting shorter and if the problem

is very serious really told him the

solution is here touching the heart

all the people who are capable of

leave that destiny that they had

predetermined have done one thing that is

put the heart and trust this I what

I call being able to jump fear

because life with capital letters

is really on the other side of fear

to this one on this side is survival

is the one that we work to eat

is that we do everyday things

but I do not know if this has to do with

what one really feels with what

really one dreams and the reality is that

the only obligation we have for

ourselves humans because

We have obligations with everyone

with our parents with our family

with coworkers with the

friends with society with montoro with

we all have obligations but with

we only have one that is

pursue our dreams is the only

obligation that we have and of course it is

normal that someone think and I asked

but maybe chasing dreams is going to

give happiness

the answer is very clear of course

that can not give you the un

what I am sure is that

chasing them will give you unhappiness

it does not matter if we get it or if

we get it or not it does not matter if we

we were on the way we have been

able to jump to the other side of fear

and I ‘m going to introduce you to a person who

represents all this that I just

explain now but before I want that

Let’s do a little exercise during

ten seconds to try to understand the

dimension of this person that I

I will present now and I would like

we cover our eyes with hands

this position with the eyes covered

we will also be silent 10

seconds

and

you can open your eyes

imagine that these ten seconds that

we just lived was simple for

always

we do not see and we do not hear and that also

we have seen and we have never heard

and in that situation

this person is able to have won

the fear of fear of stopping having

afraid of whether you are going to have determination or

that he does not care about the rejection of him

It does not matter if you commit to

pursue your dreams of knowing that you are going to

fight until your last strength not

give up and also trust

I’m shooting the movie of life

of this person and we are going to put a video

two minutes for you to see the

world to me is like a deep ocean

this endless silence the way I am in

the way but it’s the address is my

place in the world

[Music]

I am blind and deaf

I can not talk and I do not have the fato but

if I want to have a voice

[Music]

I will always need hands to take me

who will love me for sergio was 1984

there was a lot of hunger in ethiopia

many children without future

the nuns were overflowing and there would be

been of me if she had not appeared

and now mom been to herself sometimes in

I remember spots of light but I lose them

it can not get us any further

I know it is there someday I would go back to

loop

I have learned how small we are

they are also fragile people

that they can see and hear or that sometimes

difficulties my problems not those that

bayo for being like it was

[Music]

which is the same

[Applause]

the woman sex I would like to experience it

but I’m afraid

life is hard for everyone but also

it can be an exciting journey of each

one of us depends

I bet for living genete time

[Applause]

[Music]

Jeannette was born in Ethiopia 37 years ago

in a very nomadic pastoralist family

poor decided their biological parents

with four more brothers who could not

take care of her

miriam heard before and immersion to the

story and they realized that if you

they were with her her daughter was going to die

unfailingly so they did 400

kilometers to get here and you know

it goes from the town where they lived and

after trying to see if there was

solution if you could retrieve the view or

hearing when they said no to the

hospital father the father understood that

he could not go home with her and she

delivered at an orphanage of the mother

Teresa of Calcutta at that time in

ethiopia there was a terrifying famine

they died millions of people died

that one at that time she

miraculously the nuns came out alive

The only thing they could do was give him a

plate of food to the children who were

there when I had supported him to do

nothing else were overflowing and when

everything seemed lost

the weaker girl the weaker girl

in worse health

appears a Spanish woman who had gone

to visit her daughter to addis abeba arrived

to this orphanage by chance or because

he also did not want to accept that his origin

and to determine your destiny already

you will understand when you see the movie

there he met bennett he was shocked and what

it’s going to be a trip in ethiopia of two

weeks became three years

that woman Carmen corcuera mom

adoptive de benet no longer left and

when he did it he went back to spain what

did with her adopted and rené arrived with

nine years here without any kind of

intellectual stimulation because they could not

to do it the nuns nobody knew how

communicate with her in africa they did not have

knowledge for it and she started

here an academic development that made

that at 21 years old

you entered the institute when you started

study with 11 and that 45 years ago

It will be licensed and has become the

first deaf blind man of birth

all europe in getting a title

academic

If I had not been able, as explained

before overcoming all those fears to

all those things that we have gone

analyzing then she would not be here today

being what it is

I would like tamara to tell aa

Bennett tell us how he has done

how did he go to go jumping to go

overcoming all the fears that he has gone

having throughout his life

at the beginning seer mind many

situations I was afraid for example to

the time of the university did not want

because I was scared that situation is going to

be closed blind and I felt that I did not have

that ability and I also knew that I was going to

be hard a hard situation for me

then find support my mother and with

she was able to overcome that fear and access

the university and I got get the

Title

in addition to the confiscation clear force then

also for example the fear of feeling

fear of whether or not it was going to be integrated

with the rest of the classmates because

I knew that no one was going to know at one time

and they could not communicate with me

then that’s where the idea came from

of count count of using the tablet of

communication to communicate with me

partner also the figure of the

mediator of the interpreter mediator

I had her in high school too

then that gives me more peace of mind and

he could win he lived in that sense and little

little already joined to communicate with

my partner did not need me

Half an hour came the time of the

exams for example from that of the

selectivity for example also gives me

very much fear is very nervous but

I finally got a good grade

and finally access the university as

I wanted

at its time in 12 it is true that it has

a lot of fear during my life but thank you

to my mother who supported me in that

felt and gave me a lot of tranquility

because I know that I am a person

deafblind and I have many more

difficulties and once and she

died then I looked for that kind of

support in other institutions not in

different institutions have gone

helping throughout my academic life

in my normal life and that has been what

It has also helped me that they are afraid

disappear that set and transform into

the life struggle to be able to go

getting everything what what I

I propose how is a day in your life

normal

I am currently living here in

seville independently

together with my dog ​​also to explain them

what the dog and doing makes me a little

Support also in nearby locations

because before I did not have the clear dog

then he has been very calm is

ok but I was not afraid I was

used to living alone because already in

madrid I had that experience when I passed away

my mother then it is also true that

I have received different technical support

for for my independence and as I already

once my mother died, I stayed

without family and also I had to move to

that seville was kind of supports what

I kept finding here then it has

helped to have a much more life

clear independent I have met the

people new friendships and many times

were oy I think every time we go

more

in that sense every time we’re

meeting people

then also with the figure of the

personal assistant

he also gives me another kind of

tranquility at the time of moving

because it is true that in locations

close as I said before I can

move pretty well on my own and yes but

Obviously clear if I can have the

option to communicate with that

person I feel much calmer the

I know the area near my house

so in that sense I’m calm

because I can move easily with

tranquility but I think that out of that

of that scope field

I find myself a little more with more

difficulty but good I think I’m going to

I have something of it

she lives in madrid and suddenly she

his mother dies the woman he adopted

he gets work and he decides that he is coming

to sevilla being deafblind that gives

just leaves everything around the fear that

would any of us do when

they tell us that we have to change

city ​​that we have that she lives alone

who does not see does not hear and has no smell

therefore it almost does not like when

I did the first time in the movie

cook frying iron as a person

completely normal and in the course

of the movie giving surprises that we’re going

incorporating that we have been incorporating

and one of them was the dog

clear one sees a blind deaf dog and

think it is a guide dog no no no

she has adopted a dog that they were going to

sacrifice a kennel

the dog is a guide dog a blind deaf

but I can not tell you today then

is that I have a friend a kennel is

a conversation that will sacrifice a

dog says I’m going or I stay and go out

walk with the dog and she takes out the dog

to walk or the important cider detailed

true that is not that it is a guide dog not

is that she does these things then

For example, we take the

surprise that goes to the Sahara the

refugee camps to give courses to

teachers who work with people

deafblind to educate them about how

he has to work with children who are deafblind

and does not say no to anything when you see in

the film all that we have done

do comprises six up to what point e

she is jumping the fears but to be fixed

It says no I’m afraid

obviously the same as any of

us but nevertheless the goes

jumping one behind another one behind

of another one after another that is the most

ask him what is the most important thing for

she in life

the most important thing to you in your life that

is the most important thing is to feel happy and

feel calm, feel good

having change in my present life and I

it felt good to feel calm that gives

fear now gave him the future

I ‘m not afraid, I do not think I do not have

the experience of having felt fear in

another occasion then I feel

quiet in that sense I have people to

around me

I’m not alone I know certain

solutions for certain problems

that may arise in 12 finds

Quiet to tell us please say

that to finish so they do not quarrel

what would be the message that she

would like to leave all attendees

who are here today this afternoon

[Music]

I want that with the movie that follows

participating with Miguel Lage and see the

evolution that the person may have

deafblind with this movie that

He also reported that society knows

what the deafblindness that neither example

serve as an example to follow in that

sense that the federal form is known

to this disability and that the

society open your eyes in that sense it

realize that deafblind can

do everything independently

we have capacity and we can be equal

deaths that any other person

that the most important thing for me is

disclose what society knows what

which it is what brings deafblindness

that are surprised to know you of

know what this disability entails

and that they also know that we are capable

to do anything

during daily life like any

another person and what would his advice be

the people to any of us

that we have so many fears but that

we have no disability that looks

what would be the message

[Music]

regardless of whether there is

disability or not fear should leave it

outside of leaving it out should prioritize

feel good about you from here there are things

that it is worthwhile for me to benefit and that

are you in that sense first thing

that you are aware that I am capable

of doing anything with your with

disability or without it so

exactly like any other

person will not feel less for seeing

less able to do anything

but on the contrary encourage our

capacity that surely it has it then

tell him to say goodbye as he wants you

love to be here that many

thank you for listening not delighted

meet all the people I met in

that many thanks to life for others

Thank you

[Applause]

[Music]
