0:00:00.784,0:00:03.084
(music "Forget Me Not", by Baulander)

0:00:10.188,0:00:11.858
I want to suggest you

0:00:11.858,0:00:13.260
to allow ourselves

0:00:13.289,0:00:14.959
to LEARN to RELEARN.

0:00:16.010,0:00:17.017
Basically three points

0:00:17.017,0:00:19.536
will lead my speech.

0:00:20.087,0:00:21.897
Fear, brain ...

0:00:22.278,0:00:23.558
and creativity.

0:00:25.477,0:00:27.373
And... about fear,

0:00:27.373,0:00:29.053
that can be awakened

0:00:29.063,0:00:30.781
through different processes...

0:00:31.122,0:00:33.332
I want to focus on a specific:

0:00:34.572,0:00:37.332
Fear, according to Dean Burnett,

0:00:37.660,0:00:39.670
is generated by our brain,

0:00:40.131,0:00:43.201
that even after millions of years[br]of evolution,

0:00:43.747,0:00:47.342
it still has as its main purpose

0:00:47.342,0:00:49.183
our survival.

0:00:49.583,0:00:53.339
But it acts as we were still[br]living in the old times.

0:00:53.985,0:00:56.947
And..., for this primal part of our brain,

0:00:57.248,0:01:01.658
if there is something crucial[br]for our survival,

0:01:01.994,0:01:04.774
is that we are part of a group,

0:01:05.347,0:01:06.167
in other words,

0:01:06.167,0:01:10.225
one of the most common fears that [br]our brain awakes on us

0:01:10.427,0:01:13.237
is the fear to be secluded from[br]social groups.

0:01:13.396,0:01:15.626
To be left behind.

0:01:15.700,0:01:19.170
Which millions of years ago, [br]would mean death.

0:01:20.357,0:01:24.297
And to be still really connected[br]to those times,

0:01:24.310,0:01:27.180
the brain gets into an alert state.

0:01:27.512,0:01:31.022
Whenever it thinks there's any risk ..

0:01:31.171,0:01:33.061
(echo) of us to be rejected.

0:01:33.626,0:01:37.706
Burnett also explains that even when [br]facing imaginary dangers

0:01:37.711,0:01:41.481
our brain activates a tool[br]that stimulates us to whether

0:01:41.630,0:01:43.300
RUN AWAY or FIGHT.

0:01:44.780,0:01:48.970
Escaping, which is easy to be perceived[br]in situations such as

0:01:49.230,0:01:51.970
when we think of vanishing,

0:01:52.086,0:01:54.596
of hiding ourselves,[br]faking we are sick.

0:01:55.833,0:01:59.127
You spectators,[br]do you remember any situation...

0:01:59.147,0:02:01.496
that has taken you out [br]of your comfort zone?

0:02:01.496,0:02:04.581
That has demanded you[br]to do something different

0:02:04.581,0:02:07.133
that made you feel afraid?

0:02:08.005,0:02:11.245
It can be something simple,[br]as a public speech,

0:02:11.245,0:02:12.541
to ask for earnings raise,

0:02:12.619,0:02:15.681
to get your driver's license,

0:02:15.868,0:02:18.002
or to make the decision

0:02:18.002,0:02:21.832
to start chatting with someone[br]that you had a crush on...

0:02:24.272,0:02:26.752
I always keep thinking to myself

0:02:26.983,0:02:28.563
(echo)[br]"What if they laugh at me"?

0:02:28.595,0:02:30.745
(echo)[br]"What if I forget everything"?

0:02:31.203,0:02:32.429
The fact is

0:02:32.429,0:02:35.957
I also suffer from the fear[br]of being secluded by the group

0:02:36.137,0:02:39.807
And it makes me afraid to make mistakes, [br]to be rejected...

0:02:39.963,0:02:41.663
afraid of criticism.

0:02:42.135,0:02:44.785
A fear that is better known as shyness.

0:02:44.932,0:02:49.382
Now, imagine me being a College teacher,

0:02:49.526,0:02:53.526
teaching majors such as Design,[br]Photography, Advertising and Marketing.

0:02:54.287,0:02:56.437
Delivering lectures, workshops.

0:02:56.437,0:02:58.475
I have already heard several times:

0:02:58.548,0:03:00.378
(echo) "No way you are shy"!

0:03:00.487,0:03:02.377
But I am.

0:03:02.768,0:03:04.838
Well, between to FIGHT or to RUN AWAY,

0:03:05.365,0:03:07.635
my choice was to take the risk.

0:03:08.453,0:03:11.173
I believe that if I had not [br]chosen this path

0:03:11.306,0:03:14.286
I would have spent the rest of my life[br]asking myself :

0:03:15.271,0:03:18.331
"What if I had left Accountancy?"

0:03:18.518,0:03:20.348
"Had been an intern at 26"

0:03:20.496,0:03:23.216
"Had asked my boss[br]to be the art director"

0:03:23.452,0:03:25.172
"Was admitted in College at 32"

0:03:25.562,0:03:28.672
"Would have taken the chances[br]as a creative director"

0:03:28.696,0:03:30.376
"Gotten into a partnership"

0:03:30.410,0:03:32.070
"Being a teacher at 40"

0:03:33.068,0:03:34.628
"Finished my Masters degree"

0:03:34.853,0:03:38.863
(echo)[br]"What if I accepted to lecture at TEDx?"

0:03:40.587,0:03:43.267
Maybe it doesn't look like...[br]but it's not easy to me.

0:03:43.331,0:03:45.466
I am always trembling my legs out,

0:03:45.545,0:03:46.985
my will is to run away,

0:03:47.125,0:03:48.755
My heart beats like crazy.

0:03:49.068,0:03:50.198
It's just that...

0:03:50.730,0:03:52.460
life teaches you along the way.

0:03:53.322,0:03:55.742
And when we face our fears

0:03:55.742,0:03:57.991
we realize that

0:03:57.991,0:04:00.105
it's not possible to terminate them.

0:04:00.343,0:04:04.439
Fear is inside the packet of being human

0:04:05.120,0:04:07.660
And many times, due to this fear

0:04:07.687,0:04:11.237
we prefer to keep enduring things[br]that are no good for us

0:04:11.261,0:04:12.651
for a long time.

0:04:13.623,0:04:16.063
We keep waiting for things to get better,

0:04:16.705,0:04:20.155
but it only happens because our brain

0:04:20.361,0:04:22.561
has the ability to adapt.

0:04:23.041,0:04:25.304
And that´s why, when we are...

0:04:25.469,0:04:27.999
outside of the situation,[br]we ask ourselves:

0:04:28.018,0:04:30.637
(echo)[br]"How come someone tolerate that much?"

0:04:32.661,0:04:34.321
For better understanding

0:04:34.368,0:04:35.848
read this text:

0:04:35.932,0:04:37.312
Notice that in the beginning

0:04:37.312,0:04:39.940
It takes some time

0:04:39.940,0:04:41.540
to understand the code.

0:04:41.253,0:04:43.173
But the brain adapts itself

0:04:43.728,0:04:45.598
and starts reading faster.

0:04:46.901,0:04:49.241
I believe that its important to [br]understand better

0:04:49.241,0:04:51.168
how our fear shows itself on us.

0:04:51.168,0:04:54.370
And that can help us to learn [br]how to negociate...

0:04:54.452,0:04:56.732
And to show ourselves

0:04:56.861,0:04:59.201
another version of the situation.

0:04:59.367,0:05:03.245
Much more positive than the one [br]created by our survival instinct.

0:05:03.451,0:05:04.841
And we know, don't we?

0:05:04.961,0:05:08.286
How good is our brain in convincing us...

0:05:08.286,0:05:10.202
that there's a danger around the corner.

0:05:10.432,0:05:13.207
It knows ourselves better than we do.

0:05:13.608,0:05:16.994
Not to mention that, due to fear,

0:05:17.970,0:05:21.210
It's harder for us to change our path.

0:05:21.727,0:05:25.216
In his book "Future Shock",[br]Alvin Toffler says

0:05:25.340,0:05:28.150
the act of learning demands energy

0:05:28.150,0:05:31.987
and to relearn demands even more energy.

0:05:32.100,0:05:33.781
Because to relearn we

0:05:33.781,0:05:37.321
must leave a lightened, sinalized path

0:05:37.551,0:05:40.961
to take the chances into a detour[br]that has no guarantee

0:05:40.961,0:05:43.520
we are going to get somewhere.

0:05:43.520,0:05:44.906
Reconsider.

0:05:44.906,0:05:46.276
Relearn.

0:05:46.276,0:05:47.601
Restate.

0:05:47.601,0:05:49.516
(echo) "It's all about taking risks."

0:05:50.628,0:05:54.108
When we have to face any sort of changes

0:05:54.108,0:05:57.526
Our survival instinct won't be comfortable

0:05:57.778,0:06:02.148
How many times a change of pace[br]had bothered us?

0:06:02.948,0:06:04.546
I'm not talking about:

0:06:04.546,0:06:07.280
(echo) "Oh! I don't like monotony."

0:06:07.714,0:06:11.540
I'm talking about things that take us[br]out of our usual way.

0:06:11.323,0:06:14.362
That take us out of what we are used to.

0:06:14.723,0:06:19.193
Facts that demand us to do something[br]in a very different way,

0:06:19.333,0:06:20.173
even worst:

0:06:20.331,0:06:22.468
that don't allow us to do whatever

0:06:22.468,0:06:24.628
the way we've always done.

0:06:25.389,0:06:27.879
This annoyance feeling

0:06:27.879,0:06:30.118
also suits to comprehend something.

0:06:30.258,0:06:31.363
Creativity,

0:06:31.363,0:06:32.613
is so desired,

0:06:32.613,0:06:33.623
admired,

0:06:33.623,0:06:34.533
praised,

0:06:34.533,0:06:35.263
but it also

0:06:35.263,0:06:36.120
annoys.

0:06:36.141,0:06:37.781
Creativity scares.

0:06:38.286,0:06:42.975
Because it demands us the opening to learn

0:06:44.457,0:06:47.279
And it's not about that creativity[br]everybody takes

0:06:47.279,0:06:49.419
because it won't change anything.

0:06:49.518,0:06:51.368
I'm talking about the one[br]that overpass

0:06:51.376,0:06:52.261
questions,

0:06:52.261,0:06:53.232
restates.

0:06:53.401,0:06:54.331
The one innovative

0:06:54.444,0:06:57.722
that develops different ways[br]to do the things.

0:06:57.923,0:07:01.233
Creativity that takes us out[br]of our comfort zone.

0:07:02.422,0:07:05.292
Usually when a new idea actually comes up

0:07:05.292,0:07:06.833
it suffers resistance.

0:07:06.853,0:07:10.950
Even because it takes people out of[br]their safe place,

0:07:10.950,0:07:11.835
of the way they learned.

0:07:12.293,0:07:15.199
And, due to our survival instinct,

0:07:15.199,0:07:18.142
it afraids even who had the idea.

0:07:18.160,0:07:19.500
It's because

0:07:19.567,0:07:21.481
people rates us.

0:07:21.851,0:07:23.491
The group judges us.

0:07:24.197,0:07:26.517
(echo) "What they will think about me?"

0:07:27.560,0:07:30.718
An example, that may be used[br]to understand how do we feel

0:07:30.718,0:07:33.997
when we are forced to change,[br]it's this pandemic.

0:07:34.354,0:07:36.834
Not getting into sensitive points,

0:07:36.944,0:07:40.308
but observing some changes in our habits[br]and manners.

0:07:40.462,0:07:42.958
(echo) "It messed up our routine"

0:07:43.260,0:07:45.270
We had to relearn,

0:07:45.516,0:07:46.736
to adapt,

0:07:46.935,0:07:49.670
to change our way to work, to dress,

0:07:49.670,0:07:51.390
and to relate.

0:07:51.860,0:07:54.898
Other day, a lady's grocery fell near me

0:07:54.905,0:07:56.455
and I couldn't help.
