1
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,840
I didn't know that my life was going to
take such a different road

2
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
because of one pair of these.

3
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:31,280
For those of you who don't know
what these are,

4
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:35,400
they are juggling props 
created by Michael Moschen,

5
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,730
who even performed here
on TEDxTalk six years ago.

6
00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:43,760
They were further developed by Dai Zaobab.

7
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,360
He created a new shape and
he named it "Buugeng",

8
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:52,260
then it travelled the whole world

9
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,670
and it arrived at my house in Brazil.

10
00:00:55,638 --> 00:00:58,158
This prop has completely changed my life.

11
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:02,839
After one year with them,
when I was in front of the computer,

12
00:01:02,839 --> 00:01:06,989
on the Internet, trying to find
something interesting to learn.

13
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:11,698
I'm a single son,
reared by a traditional family.

14
00:01:12,402 --> 00:01:15,802
This kind of family where everyone
has wished for their only son

15
00:01:15,802 --> 00:01:17,945
a profession, goals...

16
00:01:18,535 --> 00:01:21,423
I tried to show them something different.

17
00:01:21,423 --> 00:01:26,211
I have chosen from that moment
to follow my dream,

18
00:01:26,211 --> 00:01:29,285
to make this become a career.

19
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,328
After finishing high school,

20
00:01:32,328 --> 00:01:34,985
I stopped studying classical subjects

21
00:01:34,985 --> 00:01:37,487
like mathematics, physics,

22
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:42,402
to get fully into the world
of manipulation and arts.

23
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:46,021
My days were from morning until night

24
00:01:46,021 --> 00:01:48,521
doing research and more research.

25
00:01:48,521 --> 00:01:51,810
with this and other props.

26
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:57,823
After four years of being
completely out of the real world,

27
00:01:57,823 --> 00:02:01,193
and being against the desire of my family,

28
00:02:01,193 --> 00:02:04,938
school, society, I became someone.

29
00:02:04,952 --> 00:02:09,556
I am now graduated from
a professional circus school in Italy.

30
00:02:09,597 --> 00:02:13,747
I have a video that has reached
2 million views on Youtube.

31
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,000
created by Malabarismo

32
00:02:17,265 --> 00:02:20,632
I have performed in more than 40 countries

33
00:02:20,632 --> 00:02:23,481
around Europe, the USA, Japan,

34
00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:28,530
including the TEDGlobal talk, 
in South America.

35
00:02:30,140 --> 00:02:35,250
All of that didn't happen
because of my technique.

36
00:02:36,144 --> 00:02:40,688
But what was more important
was the desire to follow my dream.

37
00:02:40,935 --> 00:02:45,595
Most people have fears about
following their passion as a career

38
00:02:45,605 --> 00:02:49,343
and they get stuck
into something that they don't want,

39
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:53,281
wasting all the weeks of their life
doing what they don't like,

40
00:02:53,281 --> 00:02:57,602
waiting for the break from their job
to be finally who they should be.

41
00:02:57,602 --> 00:03:01,984
I think that if everyone 
thought without fear

42
00:03:01,984 --> 00:03:04,116
about following their passion,

43
00:03:04,126 --> 00:03:06,569
life would be more enjoyable.

44
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:10,570
Even the hard times you have
to go through in any kind of career

45
00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:13,910
would be easy because
you're doing what you love.

46
00:03:14,521 --> 00:03:19,557
Like me, moving to Europe and 
living in this camper for about one year

47
00:03:19,557 --> 00:03:22,426
to save some money. 
Look how happy I was!

48
00:03:23,466 --> 00:03:27,564
Even if the oil was frozen and 
I couldn't even make a salad,

49
00:03:28,676 --> 00:03:29,806
it was OK.

50
00:03:31,186 --> 00:03:35,352
I've been sharing my passion
through many events

51
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:41,193
and even some locations where people
don't have the opportunity to dream,

52
00:03:41,193 --> 00:03:46,091
like in my city, Sao Paolo,
in the favellas.

53
00:03:47,292 --> 00:03:52,025
These children are constantly
in contact with problems of drugs,

54
00:03:53,045 --> 00:03:54,850
violence in their home,

55
00:03:55,848 --> 00:03:57,469
and during this workshop,

56
00:03:57,469 --> 00:04:00,152
they could have the opportunity 
to try something new,

57
00:04:00,152 --> 00:04:05,468
and most important, to remember 
and influence their own future,

58
00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:11,193
to become who they want to be
and not what society wants from them.

59
00:04:11,193 --> 00:04:17,032
Even in schools, as I love to mention 
the TEDtalk by Ken Robinson,

60
00:04:17,876 --> 00:04:21,425
who said how schools kill creativity.

61
00:04:21,425 --> 00:04:27,623
You start as a baby, learning to walk,
dance, use your body.

62
00:04:27,623 --> 00:04:31,252
And little by little, because 
of the society and your context,

63
00:04:31,264 --> 00:04:33,887
you stop using all these movements

64
00:04:33,228 --> 00:04:38,298
to become someone who just needs
the right side of your brain to work.

65
00:04:39,598 --> 00:04:43,748
I love to work with these in schools
and even some companies

66
00:04:43,109 --> 00:04:48,139
because juggling is not just about
throwing three balls in the air

67
00:04:48,139 --> 00:04:52,676
or manipulating two black and white
psychedelic scythes.

68
00:04:53,656 --> 00:05:01,308
Here, you can see how many gains
and developments you can learn

69
00:05:01,308 --> 00:05:03,099
while you're juggling.

70
00:05:03,099 --> 00:05:07,969
Intellectual, mental, physical 
and psychological benefits

71
00:05:07,969 --> 00:05:11,471
that you can gain while you're juggling.

72
00:05:12,454 --> 00:05:17,287
I'm not here to obligate anyone
to be a juggler.

73
00:05:18,427 --> 00:05:24,040
I'm here to remind people 
to dream and live your dream

74
00:05:24,504 --> 00:05:28,789
because if you cannot dream,
you cannot wake up.

75
00:05:29,549 --> 00:05:30,549
Thank you.

76
00:05:30,826 --> 00:05:34,876
(Applause)

77
00:05:40,069 --> 00:05:42,606
Now, I'm going to share with you

78
00:05:42,617 --> 00:05:44,147
my dream.

79
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:06,870
(music)

80
00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:31,769
(Applause)
