0:00:21.720,0:00:25.840
I didn't know that my life was going to[br]take such a different road

0:00:25.840,0:00:28.280
because of one pair of these.

0:00:29.070,0:00:31.280
For those of you who don't know[br]what these are,

0:00:32.070,0:00:35.400
they are juggling props [br]created by Michael Moschen,

0:00:35.400,0:00:39.730
who even performed here[br]on TEDxTalk six years ago.

0:00:39.730,0:00:43.760
They were further developed by Dai Zaobab.

0:00:45.240,0:00:48.360
He created a new shape and[br]he named it "Buugeng",

0:00:48.930,0:00:52.260
then it travelled the whole world

0:00:52.260,0:00:54.670
and it arrived at my house in Brazil.

0:00:55.638,0:00:58.158
This prop has completely changed my life.

0:00:58.479,0:01:02.839
After one year with them,[br]when I was in front of the computer,

0:01:02.839,0:01:06.989
on the Internet, trying to find[br]something interesting to learn.

0:01:07.859,0:01:11.698
I'm a single son,[br]reared by a traditional family.

0:01:12.402,0:01:15.802
This kind of family where everyone[br]has wished for their only son

0:01:15.802,0:01:17.945
a profession, goals...

0:01:18.535,0:01:21.423
I tried to show them something different.

0:01:21.423,0:01:26.211
I have chosen from that moment[br]to follow my dream,

0:01:26.211,0:01:29.285
to make this become a career.

0:01:30.440,0:01:32.328
After finishing high school,

0:01:32.328,0:01:34.985
I stopped studying classical subjects

0:01:34.985,0:01:37.487
like mathematics, physics,

0:01:37.490,0:01:42.402
to get fully into the world[br]of manipulation and arts.

0:01:42.402,0:01:46.021
My days were from morning until night

0:01:46.021,0:01:48.521
doing research and more research.

0:01:48.521,0:01:51.810
with this and other props.

0:01:52.790,0:01:57.823
After four years of being[br]completely out of the real world,

0:01:57.823,0:02:01.193
and being against the desire of my family,

0:02:01.193,0:02:04.938
school, society, I became someone.

0:02:04.952,0:02:09.556
I am now graduated from[br]a professional circus school in Italy.

0:02:09.597,0:02:13.747
I have a video that has reached[br]2 million views on Youtube.

0:02:13.760,0:02:17.000
created by Malabarize-se

0:02:17.265,0:02:20.632
I have performed in more than 40 countries

0:02:20.632,0:02:23.481
around Europe, the USA, Japan,

0:02:24.050,0:02:28.530
including the TEDGlobal talk, [br]in South America.

0:02:30.140,0:02:35.250
All of that didn't happen[br]because of my technique.

0:02:36.144,0:02:40.688
But what was more important[br]was the desire to follow my dream.

0:02:40.935,0:02:45.595
Most people have fears about[br]following their passion as a career

0:02:45.605,0:02:49.343
and they get stuck[br]into something that they don't want,

0:02:49.470,0:02:53.281
wasting all the weeks of their life[br]doing what they don't like,

0:02:53.281,0:02:57.602
waiting for the break from their job[br]to be finally who they should be.

0:02:57.602,0:03:01.984
I think that if everyone [br]thought without fear

0:03:01.984,0:03:04.116
about following their passion,

0:03:04.126,0:03:06.569
life would be more enjoyable.

0:03:06.580,0:03:10.570
Even the hard times you have[br]to go through in any kind of career

0:03:10.570,0:03:13.910
would be easy because[br]you're doing what you love.

0:03:14.521,0:03:19.557
Like me, moving to Europe and [br]living in this camper for about one year

0:03:19.557,0:03:22.426
to save some money. [br]Look how happy I was!

0:03:23.466,0:03:27.564
Even if the oil was frozen and [br]I couldn't even make a salad,

0:03:28.676,0:03:29.806
it was OK.

0:03:31.186,0:03:35.352
I've been sharing my passion[br]through many events

0:03:35.381,0:03:41.193
and even some locations where people[br]don't have the opportunity to dream,

0:03:41.193,0:03:46.091
like in my city, São Paolo,[br]in the favellas.

0:03:47.292,0:03:52.025
These children are constantly[br]in contact with problems of drugs,

0:03:53.045,0:03:54.850
violence in their home,

0:03:55.848,0:03:57.469
and during this workshop,

0:03:57.469,0:04:00.152
they could have the opportunity [br]to try something new,

0:04:00.152,0:04:05.468
and most important, to remember [br]and influence their own future,

0:04:05.468,0:04:11.193
to become who they want to be[br]and not what society wants from them.

0:04:11.193,0:04:17.032
Even in schools, as I love to mention [br]the TEDtalk by Ken Robinson,

0:04:17.876,0:04:21.425
who said how schools kill creativity.

0:04:21.425,0:04:27.623
You start as a baby, learning to walk,[br]dance, use your body.

0:04:27.623,0:04:31.252
And little by little, because [br]of the society and your context,

0:04:31.264,0:04:33.887
you stop using all these movements

0:04:33.228,0:04:38.298
to become someone who just needs[br]the right side of your brain to work.

0:04:39.598,0:04:43.748
I love to work with these in schools[br]and even some companies

0:04:43.109,0:04:48.139
because juggling is not just about[br]throwing three balls in the air

0:04:48.139,0:04:52.676
or manipulating two black and white[br]psychedelic scythes.

0:04:53.656,0:05:01.308
Here, you can see how many gains[br]and developments you can learn

0:05:01.308,0:05:03.099
while you're juggling.

0:05:03.099,0:05:07.969
Intellectual, mental, physical [br]and psychological benefits

0:05:07.969,0:05:11.471
that you can gain while you're juggling.

0:05:12.454,0:05:17.287
I'm not here to obligate anyone[br]to be a juggler.

0:05:18.427,0:05:24.040
I'm here to remind people [br]to dream and live your dream

0:05:24.504,0:05:28.789
because if you cannot dream,[br]you cannot wake up.

0:05:29.549,0:05:30.549
Thank you.

0:05:30.826,0:05:34.876
(Applause)

0:05:40.069,0:05:42.606
Now, I'm going to share with you

0:05:42.617,0:05:44.147
my dream.

0:06:03.990,0:06:06.870
(music)

0:10:27.779,0:10:31.769
(Applause)
