Enseñar valores

0:00 Or why the affective relationships I have are not stable. I like assertiveness because it invites us to prudence that what should motivate our word is always love. I am and that is already the basis for going out to conquer many goals, to fight, to give a better version and to enjoy life fully. You know, when they ask me how to teach values, I always insist on the need to look at the life stories of people who deserve recognition for their achievements, for their successes. The truth. I am clear that the flower paras are always embodied in people, in life stories of men and women who achieved their goals. Values don' t walk the streets. Values cannot remain in beautiful concepts however coherent, however provocative values are present in the existential struggle of certain people, of certain men, of certain women, who present themselves to us as models of life. After all, it is in daily

1:38 life, in daily life, as shown by the coherence and strength of those inner forces that we call values. Here is the explanation of one of my tendencies, of my pleasures, which is to read biographies. Yes, I have a collection of biographies of athletes, entrepreneurs, writers, men and women who have managed to realize dreams, and those biographies I love because in them I discover how those subjects were able to achieve their purposes of life without magical powers in the midst of adversities, in the midst of defeats, in complex situations, because when we approach a biographical account, we approach life itself, which is always built in the midst of limitations. We don' t talk about angels, we don' t talk about saints, we talk about humans, that is, men and women who, from their limitations, were able to move on. And one of the conclusions that this task of constantly reading

3:10 biographies has left me is that no one achieves success overnight. No one sleeps as a beginner and gets up as a teacher. Nobody. All human beings must walk a path, that is, make a process to be able to get ahead, make a process that allows them to achieve the goals, overcome adversities try many times, especially when they have failed to try. From the learnings they have, it is in some way the power of testimony that always inspires concrete history, reflected will have more lecturing power than discourse, however coherent, logical, provocative, subjective it may be. After all, all human beings are always looking for references, we are always looking for models to guide us in the realization of our life projects. In fact, we learn to be human from modeling, from having in our tutors, our dad and our mom, models of life and from there we build the project that we want

4:42 to do. In this context, I very much liked the tradition that exists of bringing to the universities, great sports figures, political leaders, social leaders, writers, entrepreneurs, so that they give the graduation speech to the students who complete their training process, because they no longer have the support of the coherence of their discourses, but of life. They will speak not from what they have thought only, but from what they have done in their daily experiences, in their daily battles. A few days ago I ran into Roger Federar ' s speech. You know, the tennis player, the Swede, the one who won twenty great slam titles during his lifetime that accumulated a fortune of a billion dollars, was invited to Dartmount College in the United States to make the graduation speech and I was shocked by what he said, because I think it is a wise teaching that is born in his personal search, in his personal battles, in his daily experience. He, whom the world recognizes as

6:14 a sure winner, has how to inspire many young people. And what I liked most was the relationship he made between talent and discipline, because some people think they are two incompatible realities. Some people assume that there are human beings touched by a special talent and that that is enough for them to be realized and to be happy. And yes, human beings have special talents, but those talents have to be backed up by work and discipline. Others go to the other end and says discipline is enough, giving him an idea and not if there are no talents, if there are no qualities for that project, surely he fails. Roger Federer said and I open Comillas. I didn' t get to where I am out of talent, but because I did everything to overcome my rivals. I did it because I believed in me. But self- confidence is earned by work. Talent matters, but most of the time it' s not about having a gift It' s about having guts.

7:40 Discipline and patience are also talents. Trusting yourself is a talent. Embrace the process. Loving the process is a talent. Some people are born with those talents. Everyone has to bring down on them. All the way over there. One of the teachings of this tennis player and I was excited because I insist. We are reminded of the work, we are reminded of patience, we are reminded of the love of the process. We are reminded of the desire and ambition to achieve this. We are reminded not to give up.

8:22 We are reminded that it is not enough to know how to do it, that it must be tried again and again and again. Remember that Thomas alba Eddinson talked a lot about how success. It has a small percentage of inspiration, but the vast majority is perspiration, sweating effort. Today I want to remind you that you are surely facing a purpose, before a goal, that you have to strive to achieve it, that you have to be patient, that you have to be persistent, that you will not reach it overnight, that sometimes you will be defeated and that it will be your turn to get up, shake and move on, that sometimes you will not be motivated and that you will have to dedicate yourself to finding what motivates you, what makes you overcome, what makes you succeed? Sometimes I' ve been asked how I achieve motivation and I tell them doing things, though I don' t want to. Many times I' m motivated and happy. Many times the energy flows to me and the desire to fight flows to me and the desire to get ahead, but other times you don' t and you know what. When I don' t feel like it, you know what I ' m trying to do, I do what I' m supposed to do.

9:50 Please, let' s not live on merit, let' s not live on claims. Let us live to gain from our efforts and our struggle what we want, what we want. Thanks for being there. Forget about the orational, the man is alive and we' re on every platform you know.
