-
I didn't know that my life was going to
take such a different road
-
because of one pair of these.
-
For those of you who don't know
what these are,
-
they are juggling props
created by Michael Moschen;
-
who even performed here
on TEDxTalk six years ago.
-
They were further developed by Dai Zaobab.
-
He created a new shape and
he named it "Buugeng",
-
then it travelled the whole world
-
and it arrived at my house in Brazil.
-
This prop has completely changed my life.
-
After one year with them,
when I was in front of the computer,
-
on internet, trying to find
something interesting to learn.
-
I'm a single son,
reared by a traditional family.
-
This kind of family where everyone
has wished for their only son
-
a profession, goals...
-
I tried to show them something different.
-
I have chosen from that moment
to follow my dream,
-
to make this become a career.
-
After finishing high school,
-
I stopped studying classical subjects
-
like mathematics, physics,
-
to get fully into the world
of manipulation and arts.
-
My days were from morning until night
-
doing research and more research.
-
with this and other props.
-
After four years of being
completely out of the real world,
-
and being against the desire of my family,
-
school, society, I became someone.
-
I am now graduated from
a professional circus school in Italy.
-
I have a video that has reached
2 million views on Youtube.
-
created by [unclear]
-
I have performed in more than 40 countries
-
around Europe, the USA, Japan,
-
including the TEDGlobal talk,
in South America.
-
All of that didn't happen
because of my technique.
-
But what was more important
was the desire to follow my dream.
-
Most people have fears about
following their passion as a career.
-
and they get stuck
into something that they don't want,
-
wasting all the weeks of their life
doing what they don't like,
-
waiting for the break from their job
to be finally who they should be.
-
I think that if everyone
thought without fear
-
about following their passion,
-
life would be more enjoyable.
-
Even the hard times you have
to go through in any kind of career
-
would be easy because
you're doing what you love.
-
Like me, moving to Europe and
living in this camper for about one year
-
to save some money.
Look how happy I was!
-
Even if the oil was frozen and
I couldn't even make a salad,
-
it was OK.
-
I've been sharing my passion
through many events
-
and even some locations where people
don't have the opportunity to dream,
-
like in my city, Sao Paolo,
in the favellas.
-
These children are constantly
in contact with problems of drugs,
-
violence in their home,
-
and during this workshop,
-
they could have the opportunity
to try something new.
-
and most important, to remember
and influence their own future,
-
to become who they want to be
and not what society wants from them.
-
Even in schools, as I love to mention
the TEDtalk by Ken Robinson,
-
who said how schools kill creativity.
-
You start as a baby, learning to walk,
dance, use your body.
-
And little by little, because
of the society and your context,
-
you stop using all these movements
-
to become someone who just needs
the right side of your brain to work.
-
I love to work with these in schools
and even some companies
-
because juggling is not just about
throwing three balls in the air
-
or manipulating two black and white
psychedelic scythes.
-
Here, you can see how many gains
and developments you can learn
-
while you're juggling.
-
Intellectual, mental, physical
and psychological benefits
-
that you can gain while you're juggling.
-
I'm not here to obligate anyone
to be a juggler.
-
I'm here to remind people
to dream and live your dream
-
because if you cannot dream,
you cannot wake up.
-
Thank you.
-
(Applause)
-
Now, I'm going to share with you
-
my dream.
