What if we teach kids how to best choose a career job? | Brunel Smith FAGNON | TEDxYouth@Ganhito


[Music]

two things the first some

people among us this morning are

programmed to fail it could

that they are programmed to fail

the second is that a minority a

very small minority I weigh my words

is programmed to succeed i’m going

tell you a story a little

chapter of my life I titles and

when I grow up

when I was young I dreamed of

become an airplane pilot

I wanted to discover the world

through the clouds but my level more

or less very strong in mathematics

showed me right away that this

was not meant for this

career after I wanted to become

pastry cake the fondants at

chocolate pancakes

I still remember the reaction of

my father when I told him dad I

want to become a pastry chef tells me this

brunel stuffing and greediness

it does not matter a few more years

later I discovered the profession of

banker on TV and costumes of

two cars

the figures I said why not and if

I became a banker I went to see my

father dad i think i’m going in a

bank and they were watching us said

brunel you love too much money then there

it was starting to get complicated

until the day I believe I was in

third when I discovered the

artist’s job the occurrence put

two way rappers

I chained chains cnn and steyn

it was people

rap is my oxygen vector of me

wade but pay you understood that I

became a star actually it was

become the rap star of my college I

social dance and this my dad was

teacher in college

when he learned my news as

that star he called me in his room

and frankly it did not happen to me

said this son honestly in our

family is what you have ever

met with griots I understood the

message

it became complicated so get in

I decided that after my

bac I was going to become a diplomat

because for me it was time to

leave this country the two times for me

to discover the world

so I studied in

diplomacy international relations and

after graduation from

first cycle

I understood that I had to go to

abroad to do a specialty

but not the means I had

abandon his project

then part of that moment

was starting to get complicated that

will I finally do when I will be

big so it’s decided like

several young people at mona to stop my

studying and getting into life

active I rolled my hump a little

all over

first aspect nothingces I was in the

remote marketing in summary my

days it was dawn to day

customer service that more for you

it was not for me some time

later I resigned

by the force of things I have

found at the international airport

of cotton or as a security agent

tie stripes

so it was jean red sirr

passport your airplane life I

checked visas between two years

it was not me I was not comfortable

with that I did not feel alive I

continued to search and by force

things again I found myself

at the bank

ah yes I realized this dream

in short, I rub shoulders with them for a few months

I became a banker in claw

base was miss if you

please you must pay your

check market machination brief everything

it started really hurt ve

I decided to take my life in hand

and that’s where I fell in a

game sector all very exciting the

communication is so for three years

I am advertising in an agency of

communication deemed a profession where one

learns to make simple to sell the

dream to sell emotions for sale

certain sensibilities to the public

I was lucky because I have

promotionists so far they

do not know yet what they will do

of their life and as you noticed

ten years after my baccalaureate this is

moment I’m starting to know this

that I will make of my life

it’s inadmissible every year we

train young Africans we

give a big diploma

we put them on the market but this

that you know that these are bad

trained

do you know that these

are misguided but what you

still know they are without landmarks

true frankly it’s a big

problem

and I ask myself the following question

we say yes

the youth relieves her but at this

look this youth there and it’s true

what I have my tracks 1

we will inflate the unemployment rate

two we will hire the rate

of immigration to the west and 3 us

are definitely going to poor and

our continent but I think I have a

idea an idea that could

revolutionize our educational system

is ch’ti at first before

allow students to go to

baccalaureate

we first learned to better

to know frankly is what we

really know our students is this

that we really know our

students second thing and if instead

to discourage young people especially in

Africa when they want to make a

some experience discourages you and

if we learned how to develop their

potential and finally and if they are

presented Africans who have

successful in africa

the magic of hedges this idea is

very simple she is quite simple a

personal development program

African Thursday comes a program of

African-driven personal development

on self-knowledge and the

self-confidence because for me

to succeed is first in the mind

Africa needs it

African youth even more I

thank you

[Applause]
