Speaking of the team, to me, all of us here represent one team.
We all have the same questions.
We all sit around the same camp.
TEDx has printed over our shirts.
we are a team.
This room, which we are here today, serves as a dressing room.
This is a dressing room, where we were before the start of the big event
To talk about strategies, talk about tactics,
Talk about the range of games we’ll be using
Abroad, in the field, in the big arena to win the game of life.
Now, all we have to do is learn from the mother
You will wash the shirt after the game, right?
We have to know which mother will wash the shirt after the game,
Well, because we are a team, obviously after this thing,
We’re all going to take a bath together, right?
We’re a team, right? We are like this.
Same water, shower together.
But I heard you were supposed to open these things
Statistically, by the fact, I have one for you.
It’s not pretty, but it’s true.
Take this: on average, after about three minutes,
We will lose most people who are watching at home.
We will lose them until the next Facebook notification,
We lose them until the next YouTube video arrives,
We lose them until they come to anything they feel is more valuable than the moment we are now living together.
We are all guilty of this.
We are all guilty of disrespecting today’s potential
For a better tomorrow.
We lean on the future or look at the past
In the hope that we will stick to something more important than the present moment.
I do not want to engage in much debate about the power of the moment.
There are some world thinkers who have dedicated their lives to it, and rightly so.
By the way, we only have about two more minutes.
All I want to do in the dressing room today as a team,
Is to tell you a story.
Because stories, contrary to abstract information,
He has the ability to stay with us for the rest of our lives,
Even if you only heard it once.
Stories have a unique ability to help children sleep
But they awaken adults.
(Music)
It’s a story about a wall image, about a wall image of yours.
Because every picture on the wall represents a day of your life.
Imagine that a wall full of pictures all the days of your life, side by side:
From the day I was born to the first day of school,
The first time I fell in love, the first kiss,
Beautiful days, hard days,
All the days of your life there.
Now close your eyes and imagine you can walk along the photo wall
Look at each and every day of your life.
Now ask yourself honestly:
How do you look during the days of your life?
Do you like what you do every day? Do you show your emotions, do you cry honestly?
Do you laugh loud, are you weak?
Do you make a difference for other people? Even if they could not do that to you?
Are you a team player who helps others,
Do you think of good decisions every day?
Then suddenly, you encounter a spot on the photo wall where the pictures suddenly stop.
The last picture you see is your picture yesterday.
After that, the wall becomes white, empty, dark, and impenetrable.
You have the ability, the opportunity to make every new day starting today
According to a very better life.
Now prepare yourselves, and promise the child within you
To make days and make pictures that truly inspire you.
Full of integrity and joy, it is love and service,
Full of courage and fear just like the child inside you.
Because there will come a day, and I promise you this,
When you grow too old, your body is very weak,
When you are very weak as you walk along the wall of pictures,
You look at each and every day of your life.
But the generations that follow you, the generations that will continue to consider you as role models,
– Your children, their children, their children and their children –
You will walk up and down the wall of your pictures forever and more than ever,
They will look at every picture, every day in your lives up close.
Make sure that every single day of your life starts today
Reflects your highest standards, the best of you
From dedication, open passion, attention, and true team spirit
And the right decisions.
Make sure that people are closest to your hearts
They will walk along this wall and say,
“What a beautiful life,
And the most wonderful personality, and the most sincere and good heart.
I hope that every one of you starts doing this today.
Not yesterday, not tomorrow but today.
Thank you so much for listening.
Thank you so much for trust.
Thank you for staying with me for a long time,
Thank you, and sincerely, for today.
(End of music)
