Logra lo imposible: vence tus miedos y cree en ti. | Carolina Águila | TEDxPlazaSotomayor


[Music]

starting with some questions I’d like

to raise my hand

the first question is how many of

you will ask yourself being

teenagers that was going to be their future

we would like to know how many of you

they raised dreams that they thought that

it does not quite succeed how many of you

they managed to fulfill their dreams

I want to tell you I want to tell you

no matter your age does not matter

Social

first the profession to fulfill that

that you believe impossible and I

I have to count because based on my

I liked experience science

and a normal school mexico my parents

I love sports I love

video game

I really consider myself a happy person

with my life I had a dream that makes

scientific

I was wondering how those little ones

microorganisms such machinery

complicated and good to also perform

experiments in the house although not all

they finish well it does not matter everything

it was for science

all that is before 10 years

when I turned 15, something that

complicated things and it was that I gave

realize that my classmates

my own classmates were

worried about having good in itself a

middle school note and also by

sell a good weigh or in addition they

they knew what career to go to study

even here university they wanted

postulate but instead I had

postponed his responsibility and believed

that it was time to think and walk

stamp then I tried to push hard

every day but what happened

while I was having a hard time I was going

understood why this time amortize

a simple sentence and after five minutes

I forgot

I really did not understand anything but that

happened that produced in my rage and grief

and frustration and disappointment with me

same

I remember crying and I

asked Carolina what more do you want than

what you need to move forward and be like

everyone and nobody responded in a short time

I said it was good that the solution was

geologist psychologist and many books of

Self – help but nothing avail

the truth is that I make a decision and

I said I do not go to classes anymore and think that

my life may have changed to and I fell

in a depression and said my life is not

makes sense

why keep going to classes if you are going to

always have the red numbers and my

notes do not exceed five with that I

I was repeating fourth half of

existence

my parents make a decision that was

change me to a two for one

I feel for one you already know

and many kinds of people and even

people that the truth did not interest him

do nothing with their life because they already had

the insured money they did not need and

I also met another kind of person

that if they constantly struggle to have

an opportunity

I was and I did not know what to do just

I survived

later I remember that I read in some

side that there were many young people who

they were going to take a sabbatical year and

they came with the world and came back with the

mind clearly cleared that was not my

I could not afford it, but

improvise efe the beach with sheet paper and

music I went for a week I was

there really did not feel cold hungry

do not even listen to the music anymore

I saw nothing a week as if it were a

hour

there he was waiting for something

come and go and what happened

I suddenly started without realizing to create

my own methodology to be able

wake up so I can go out and find my

route began to create drawings lines

Incoherent phrases and even maps

conceptual of my life because I wanted

find a solution and with that of

I suddenly understood everything with all the

technology that I had created

I understood what was happening and he asked

where I want to go without putting any

invitation where do I want to go and

there I said and I put myself in account to take

in account and I said I want to be scientific

I realized another great thing that everything

what was he doing and present

I was not taking my future everything

that he was dedicating one hundred percent

my life will not allow me to do

scientific recognized nothing and even

I was going to have a chain reaction

I was only going to hurt me but

also my children and even my

parents will probably not retire

then it had to be the moment today

in which to make a decision and a path

where I wanted to convert two

energy things

the first is that people told me that

It was not going to get my motor more

I wanted to do it and second I had something

I was terrified of what I really did

I was terrified that it will happen in my life and

now that if I do badly on the pc u

for example I was going to decide a career

that reaches me with the pc or not what I

I would like and unfortunately because of that

Maybe I should work in a company that

I did not like it, I was going to lose my life

working something that I did not want to have

time for my children I can not

deliver something good because maybe the

money was not enough and after that I

I’m going to retire and then maybe I’ll

I will present my bed to think if there

had 15 and 6 years old I would have taken other

decisions and that’s when I realized that

the moment to change

It was time and I went to see her and take out

but 150 points

but it did not matter what I had tried and I

I stayed there I did not stay and it was hit

each of the doors of the

university I get up at six o’clock in the

morning and at eight o’clock in the evening with

of having an opportunity to talk to

the university directors because

believe in me

not all the doors but that opened me

the part of three months and to know why

I have to give the opportunity to you

and not the people who really study

four years and a good pcu and I understood

that maybe it was not my time

but something strange happened was that

some of the university called me

even one called me to tell me that

the race had been selected

I wanted the engineering

biotechnology

I did not believe it I thought it was a joke

but what happened was not more

difficult

the hardest thing was to convince my

parents who believed in me

again but with the parents always

wants the best for you

I had the opportunity to pay a

semester system we have all the

ramos do not say that he the

opportunity and that your life changes is not

because you did not have the opportunity but

because you need and I the truth is not

I remember how four years of

my life was in fourth year and is

passing all the bouquets

I remembered suffered a lot is very

tired but I remember that I was very

happy doing what I wanted and

even he is so happy that in four

years woke up and I said miguelina has

discovered skills that you did not know

that existed has passed all branches

what happened

you have skills that I would not have known

that existed inside you after

I said what I’m getting

again and I said good I want to get there

I want to be a scientist in cells

mother and cancer

I go to a recognized company of

international but that happened

my friend told me that china

I tried it and not stand there no

they accept laboratory practitioners not

try it but as I turned it into

energy that I made

and they accepted me and I ‘m working here

in my stem cell project and

Cancer

happy and I got two publications

scientific in those areas

at 21 years old with all this I went to the

capital of Santiago where a piece me

I went back to the weekend to see my

parents work full time

I was studying but I was doing what I

wanted to

after that I remember having

listened to the 21 22 years something of

entrepreneurship did not know very well what

he wants what that was

but I said these people that that

entrepreneurship is super intelligent

really very smart because he could not

do and I tried

I tried present on my computer that

anticipate global and even a

technology that I knew only one

day against the one I liked the most

problem and start solving

and that’s how my first idea created my

first biotechnological project

after that I said what I bet on the

corfo and I earned 10 million pesos

go through the toll that I’m with the

international generation where everyone

they said that it was impossible to come

but it exploded with that I said ‘I want

complement with science in the

business because no one scientist can

understand business at a time and earn me

another program

everyone tells me that scientist

laboratory and I said no and no

according to that, I ask myself

What else do I want to be where I am?

I visualize myself in Chile were the world

what I want to do and I realized that

I want to leave a mark a trace in the

world but that leaves a mark on the

world

I have to understand what happens in the

world and that one of my crazy ideas was

apply for a scholarship that will leave a

chilena per year to go to silicon valley

study in his death university in

where educate motivate train

teaching of world leaders

exponential technologies so that

can solve challenges of the

humanity but first requirement was

know English and ossuaries 5 percent of

English

everyone told me that I was going to stay

but what did I postulate to equal and I

I was going to represent Chile with 23 years

in singularity university without knowing

English but I was going

what happened I was very scared I’m not going

to deny that I was not afraid I had a lot

fear had terror

rivers there were two things

two things the first was that there was

past things in my life worse than this

and had been able to get ahead

second was that you had to study for

skills in me that I did not know that

probably this was not going to be a

opportunity again to cover a

skill and discover 100% safe and

then with my parents I asked ourselves

we ask what is the worst that can

to pass is the worst

then I understood that it was me and there

he lived a dream

everyone wanted to know how it will impact

millions of millions of people and

even apprentice of the last

biotechnology science technology

robotic nanotechnology and intelligence

artificial virtual reality

I was also counting robot only

really a dream for me and not just

that is surrounded by 80 people from

different countries

everything representing your country wanted no

solve a global challenge and with that

to convert my family for three months

the truth was beautiful but what happens

when I returned

when I came back I realized that something

had changed I had to

restructure everything and even when

I left I found problems for all

parts and I’m not going to stay still

had to do something about it and that

The first thing I did was talk to my

friends wanted to start creating teams

to be able to solve their problems but

they told me but li na

life is studying work and let them

the people who have money are 23

years will not be able to, I stayed there and

it was I went I thought and I said where I want

get back to where you are going

I want to be a lecturer and I want to be

Columnist why because I realized

that there were many people I

wrote carolina

how you came to Asia and how you were the

Chilean that the coal to go

singularity university and I started

write it advise they loved him

I said ‘well, if I can advise my

circulated why not reach more people

why not

and that’s how I became

speaker giving talks

motivational because a scientist does not

can do it

comes schools and spaces

collaboration with working and even me

I went to big events like and three years

and not only that

they remember telling him that the 16 yo

I did not know what happened with me and

who was the neurologist psychologist and who

I had even read the book of

self – help and could not find anything or

nobody because now I was there in that

place

I’m there in that place helping the

people and these young people and you already

they find in the same reality that I

I was that person was me

I feel super happy about what I am

doing and also as a columnist

I write out Spain

even chile because it’s a problem

world in my life I learned four things

that I would like to share with you

and first in not being afraid whenever

my mind tells me but no longer go because

it’s very risky for her do not go

because it’s very difficult for there

I did something good will come out and follow

applying so far

the second is to listen but not imitate

order to listen much many

experiences

people could tell me if I tried

if I did this carolina do not you

I recommend you can not hear but all

we are different

all in different experiences of

people could not get to where you

you want to get it does not mean you

can reach the third that dent and believes

in you and in your abilities try

try to take another step and try

get to do different things and you go to

to believe in you and the last thing is the

search I realized that staying

santana computer when I play

maybe it would never get scientific ever

get there but yes when I started looking

to get up to hit each other and another

door

that’s how all the doors and all

it was not then life is very short

I just want to say it ‘s very short

make the most of all your time

invest valuable time in the future

Do things that make you happy and see

if they do this today that is going to

happen if they continue to do so and what

I want to tell you now is that after

of this talk and when they leave cow

that they also think about period and

start another that risk that

adventure because you against your future

no other assistant does not move for his

future

nobody is going to be

so then he started his great adventure

so they can achieve the impossible

thank you very much
