0:00Translator: Emma Gon Reviewer: Fran Ontanaya
0:06Whenever I have the chance to share with
0:08an audience as diverse as you are, it is a challenge.
0:12It is an emotional challenge, first of all, because from my point of view
0:16I am a "psiconut", I studied clinical psychology.
0:19And learning should be lively experienced.
0:21If learning is only rational, there when the body
0:22has something I call, with respect and affection, "ass hour."
0:27When the ass gets tired, the brain gets befuddled.
0:30This is real. This is true.
0:32This is studied by psychology.
0:34Today I want to ask you for a favor.
0:36I want to ask you...
0:36This is the last talk of this first morning.
0:39We have had extraordinary talks,
0:41a brainstorming of magical ideas that I...
0:43Blimey, I am inspired and don't know what to say!
0:46But today I would truly love that you
0:48help me do an exercise all together.
0:50Take your right hand and do like this (shake the hand)
0:53If someone helps me to turn the lights of the auditorium on
0:55to see those who are not doing it
0:56and point them out to show them how it feels.
0:58Thank you.
0:59The two hands, please. The two hands. Very well. The two hands.
1:02I want you to look at the person next to you and
1:04see how they do and how they lose the form, the status, right?
1:08If it helps, we are going to honor a genius,
1:12Albert Einstein, when he was receiving the Nobel Prize of Physics
1:15the dude sticks his tongue out, ok?
1:17Stick the tongue out to the person beside you.
1:18Stick the tongue out! Nothing is gonna happen.
1:21It can happen that by sticking the tongue out
1:25your body releases endorphines
1:27and my bro, who knows a bit about laughing,
1:30knows that endorphins are good for our body.
1:33True or false? I cannot hear you.
1:34I have a challenge for this last talk.
1:37I want to ask who wants to share this challenge with me.
1:40The rest is fairly simple: we are all equal, true or false?
1:43The TED concept is people coming and
1:46sharing one idea with people like them, true or false?
1:49Any of you could be here in this stage
1:52sharing some idea if you had done your work.
1:55I utterly believe in this.
1:57And I believe in something -- since we are equal, I have a challenge.
2:00I am going to be standing here 18 minutes.
2:02I want to ask you to live this talk with me.
2:05standing up and this is going to be a revolution.
2:08Will you help me or not?
2:09Everybody stand up, come on!
2:11It is very easy. It is very simple.
2:12Nothing is going to happen.
2:14Your body is going to be charged with energy
2:16and you are going to enjoy this talk much more.
2:19I received this tiny control.
2:21This talk is called "The impossible is possible".
2:23Help me! How does it call?
2:24Audience: The impossible is possible.
2:26And we are going to use an element.
2:28An unconscious element.
2:30-- Hey Omar, what is the unconsciousness?
2:33It is my turn to talk a little bit about it
2:34because this is the substance from where we learn.
2:36You are here sitting and the unconsciousness
2:38is saying: "the chair is uncomfortable,
2:40I feel itchy dude, what am I doing?
2:42I have this and that,
2:43I am hungry, my tummy is grumbling, prrruuff!"
2:45And from all that happening, your unconsciousness generates information.
2:48Only 10% of what you do is conscious.
2:52And 90% is unconscious.
2:53--- Hey Omar, I already know that.
2:54That is from primary school!
2:56I completely agree.
2:57But, knowing that and not using it is the worst of ignorance!
3:02To know it and not using it is the worst of ignorance.
3:06The unconsciousness controls 90% of you. The 90%.
3:11You are driving your car, dude and see the ad
3:13and the brand gets into you without even realizing it.
3:16It entered through your unconsciousness.
3:17You go to a restaurant, you are hungry and the waiter says:
3:19"Would you like today' special? We have eggs with beans..."
3:22-- Right, I have today' special!
3:24Your unconsciousness hooked with the information given by the waiter
3:27when in fact you wanted a hamburger.
3:30(Laughing) Am I getting the point to you or not?
3:31The unconsciousness is a tool of our brain, a very powerful one.
3:34Today we are going to learn how to access it.
3:37Because if you reach the unconsciousness, I do not know your projects,
3:40that is why a TED audience is difficult.
3:41Because the audience is so diverse that I do not know which your projects are.
3:44Do you want to increase your business? Do you have employees?
3:46You need to know how to program your unconsciousness!
3:48It is your turn to be in this talk and talk to the audience.
3:51You have to know how to talk to the unconsciousness!
3:53Do you have a girlfriend?
3:54You need to know how to talk to the unconsciousness: "make me love."
3:56You need to know how to talk to the unconsciousness.
3:59Am I getting the point?
4:00The unconsciousness is a part of the brain that few people study.
4:05But look at the magic of the consciousness.
4:06Breathe deeply. Exhale. It is conscious.
4:12Unconsciously, put your attention in whatever
4:14and your body keeps working, true or false?
4:18How many of you were seated and said to the dude next to you...
4:20hey, sorry that I say dude, that's how I talk with my friends.
4:23And, somehow like Freud -- father of psychology --
4:26he said that the only way to access the unconsciousness
4:28is by using rude words...
4:30Why I would like you to feel much more comfortable?
4:32Because we are going to touch the topic of this talk.
4:35I ask myself: what makes a genius to be genius?
4:40What does a genius do to be genius?
4:42Why do we build myths around them? Right?
4:44"The flatulence of a genius does not smell". (Laughter)
4:48We build myths, right?
4:50"When Bill Gates was born, instead of spanking him with a hand,
4:53he was spanked with a keyboard, there you go!
4:55We build myths, And those myths dissociate us from those people
4:59and make me believe I am a mere mortal and not a genius.
5:03But, you know what? I believe we are all genius,
5:05from the psychological point of view, we are exactly the same.
5:08I believe that we all human beings are exactly the same.
5:11And geniuses, too.
5:12Chemichally speaking we are made from the same CHON:
5:14Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxigen and Nitrogen, true or false?
5:18or from the "chon" (undies) our mom and dad took off to start the creation process.
5:22But it is exactly the same.
5:23-- Omar, if we are all chemically made of the same stuff,
5:26why are we all so different?
5:28Good or bad question?
5:32Because if we are all chemically made of the same stuff,
5:34everybody's brain functions equally,
5:35everybody's unconsciousness functions equally,
5:37everybody's emotions functions equally,
5:38why are we so different?
5:41Good or bad question?
5:42So, I saw a movie Who wants to be a millionaire?
5:45Who wants to be a millionaire?
5:46And the movie shows an extraordinary argument.
5:50Four parts: Luck, Intelligence, Talent and Destiny.
5:53And I said to myself, I am going to copy these arguments for my TED talk.
5:57Why a genius is genius? Is it luck?
6:03Let me tell you something: the chance you have
6:04to win the lottery is one in 30 million.
6:07If you do not buy the ticket, dude, you will never win it.
6:09If you buy it, you have the same chance as anybody, right?
6:12I cannot hear you, right?
6:14Ok. Listen to me.
6:15The probability that you were alive is one in 300 million.
6:18Because you messed with 300 millions of spermatozoa
6:22which were guarded in the seminal vesicle of your father
6:24when your mom and dad were doing their business,
6:26you were in the seminal vesicle saying:
6:28I am going to win, I am going to win, I am going to win"
6:31And you know what happened?
6:31You messed with, medically speaking, 300 millions spermatozoa
6:36So, the probability of being alive is one of 300 millions.
6:42Since you are alive, dude, we all have the same luck.
6:45Am I getting to the point or not?
6:47Because you will agree with me that someone
6:48who wins the lottery, one in 30 million,
6:50is a damn lucky dude, right?
6:52Someone who is alive, dude, is damn lucky!
6:55One in 300 miliions.
6:57And if we add the chances that from all the times
7:00when your father had some fling,
7:02just imagine all the other chances
7:04you had had of being born.
7:05Did I get the point? It is a joke, but in this society
7:07this is is also true, so said as a psychologist.
7:09-- It is not luck Omar. People is not genius because of luck, but intelligence.
7:14When Albert Einstein was seven years old, he was
7:17diagnosed with slow learning ability, right?
7:20Salvador Dalí did not show any talent at all till he was nine years old.
7:24But one day, like the father of Gaby Vargas,
7:27came Dalí's mother and said:
7:30"Son, you paint as only gods can do!" (Laughter)
7:39Imagine, dude, you bring a primary school
7:41doodle to your mother, right?
7:43You bring the doodle and you mother takes it...
7:45Salvador Dalí's mother was half nuts, right?
7:50She holds Dalí and said: "you paint as only gods can do!"
7:56Hugs him and kisses him.
7:57Salvador Dalí believed he was a god and created surrealism.
8:01A very personal and single way of seeing the world.
8:04He was interviewed in the US when he was going to expose
8:06in the Modern Art Museum of New York.
8:08The first painter to expose in the Modern Art Museum of New York.
8:11He carried all his paintings in the plane, dude.
8:13When Salvador Dalí arrived in US, the customs agent said:
8:16"Master Dalí, something of value that you brought from Spain?
8:19Dalí look at him saying:
8:21"Ja, all you see!" (Pointing to himself)
8:28(Applause)
8:29--- Hey Omar, it is not luck. It is not intelligence.
8:33Albert Einstein was diagnosed with slow learning ability
8:35exactly like many other children, but what did he have?
8:38He had a brilliant father who gave him a compass
8:40that arouse his creative thinking.
8:43Albert Einstein was asking, why the compass point to the North?
8:45Why the compass points to the North?
8:47Why the compass point to the North?
8:48Someone said: "the compass points to the North because God wants it to".
8:52The dude said: "who is God?"
8:54-- "The creator of all the universe".
8:56-- "And what is the universe?"
8:57-- "Well, everything that exists".
8:58Albert Einstein said: "What is groovy here? Who is groovy here?
9:02-- "God, of course!"
9:03Then his next question and the same with which he died and don't believe me.
9:07Don't believe anything I said.
9:08Get in YouTube and research everything I said.
9:10(Laughter)
9:11Search in YouTube: "last interviews of Albert Einstein".
9:14And this Albert Einstein, dude,
9:16he was being interviewed in Berkley when he was asked
9:18if there was any question of which he still
9:20have doubts and the dude asked,
9:22he said, " Since I was seven years old,
9:25I am still asking what God thoughts are."
9:33A boy of seven years old diagnosed with slow learning ability
9:35got into an idea --- to see the world as if he were God.
9:40God sees the universe different from you and me, true or false?
9:43The atoms are different from yours and mine, true or false?
9:45He saw them from a different perspective and became
9:48one of the most genius men in the history of mankind.
9:51But you know what I like?
9:52There are some accounts of students telling that
9:55the dude gave lectures and suddenly when all the students,
9:58suddenly he would hide behind the door and come out "Aaggrr!"
10:02The most brilliant man in history of mankind
10:05had the gaze of a child.
10:06He sticked the tongue out when taken pictures
10:08and in the lectures, he was extremely informal.
10:11What does this say to me?
10:12That developing this child we have inside
10:15is also a way to develop
10:18our creativity and our genius.
10:19Talking about self-esteem -- "have self-esteem."
10:22But, what can I do to have self-esteem?
10:24The master of self-esteem is Salvador Dalí.
10:26The most narcisist man in the world, the one who loves himself.
10:29You know what he did? He talked with himself out loud.
10:34If someone approached him, "Dalí, do you want to eat?"
10:36-- "One second, master Dalí, do you want to eat?"
10:39It is the bare truth. And Dali said,
10:42"Mmmm, now not yet hungry."
10:45-- "Master Dalí not yet hungry."
10:47He developed a double personality.
10:48He talked with his alter ego and only talked to Dalí,
10:52but he talked to him out loud.
10:54Synonym of madness, but what did I discover?
10:56Albert Einstein gave lectures, dude, on his bike out loud.
11:00He talked to himself, what did I discover?
11:02Jesus talked out loud. Siddhartha Gautama talked out loud.
11:06All the great geniuses I studied talked out loud.
11:09And we were told that was of mad people.
11:13Your brain works in the following way:
11:15your brain follows guidelines.
11:17First feature of unconsciosness.
11:19Put attention. The human brain follows guidelines.
11:22-- Hey Omar, guidelines from whom?
11:24From everybody! That is the problem with the brain, dude.
11:26That anybody who says anything, it believes it.
11:28There is a woman walking.
11:29She got up, wore stockings, she is pretty gorgeous.
11:32She perfumed, she talked to herself in the mirror and
11:33said, I am gorgeous! Look dude, mwah!"
11:36She goes out, walks on the street and
11:38a taxi driver shouts, "Get out of the way, fat lady! (Laughter)
11:43This woman is fucked up for the day, the trousers are tight.
11:46Why did i eat the hamburger?
11:47I should not have eaten the "tamal" bread this morning
11:51Yes or no? Yes or no?
11:53And you know what is the most amazing thing, dude?
11:55It was not to her.
11:55It was to the fat lady ahead of her. (Laughter)
11:58But because her brain does not discriminate, she follows guidelines,
12:02entering her mind, "I am fat."
12:03And this talks about her trauma because nobody taught her about the model of the genius.
12:07If someone had taught her the method of the genius,
12:10the moment she hears, "fat lady",
12:12she says, "you should have seen me a month ago,
12:13I was fatter, but you will never enjoy this flesh."
12:16And she keeps walking... (Laughter)
12:18What did the majority of the geniuses do to
12:19spark the creativity in them?
12:22Michael Jordan, a genius to score point.
12:25The dude practiced 2000 shots daily, every single day.
12:282000 shots daily, every single day.
12:30Was he a genius? No, he was an obsesive dude.
12:32(Laughter) Did I get the point?
12:34Tiger Woods. His income is 120 million US dollars a year playing golf.
12:37Is the dude so good playing golf?
12:39Yes, but once he wins, he comes back.
12:42He waits till everybody is gone and go back a month later
12:44to the course to perfect his play.
12:47-- Hey, dude, but he already won!
12:49But he wants to perfect his technique.
12:52Genius is equal to repetition.
12:54Genius is equal to repetition.
12:57Besides, the brain can be programmed, dude.
12:59If you say something to the brain, the brain is programmed.
13:01Watch, the great secret of psychology: the brain do not follow orders.
13:05Do not follow, what?
13:06Orders. We reject orders.
13:08We are fed up with mom and dad's orders.
13:11We reject them!
13:12But, what do we do when someone gives us an order?
13:14For example: "You, come her immediately,
13:16come and give me a kiss, bitch."
13:19Nobody comes. Same phrase, same syntaxix:
13:22"You, come here immediately, come and give me a kiss, bitch."
13:26(Laughter)
13:28There was some laughs of "Yes, will I go?"
13:31(Laughter) Am I getting my point?
13:32I only had to change the tone of my voice.
13:35By changing the tone of the voice, the phrase goes straightforward to the brain.
13:38Be most careful how you talk to your children.
13:40Because if every day you say:
13:41"you are a fool, you are good for nothing, you are useless",
13:44the brain is programmed and develops habits.
13:47That simple. Be most careful in what you tell.
13:49Be most careful what you communicate to your woman.
13:51--- Where are you going?
13:52--- You'll be sorry if you come back drunk!
13:53And you know how he will come back?
13:55But let me tell you something, the human brain has one capability
13:57The capability of interpretation.
13:59When I was six years old, my mom took me to primary school.
14:02We were late and a car got in her way,
14:04she honked "ta-ta-ta-tata" and gave the finger.
14:08She was angry with my dad the night before.
14:10I was six years old when I asked her:
14:12"Mommy, what is this mommy?" (Gesture)
14:14My mother was shocked to see how shocking fast
14:16the law of karma returns, right?
14:18"What is this mummy?" (Gesture)
14:19My mother kept looking.
14:21And my mother was very creative, youthful and said,
14:22"Well, son, this is an airplane. If the dude does not know how to drive...
14:28... so he could fly, look." (Gesture) (Laughter)
14:32So I came with this interpretation.
14:34For me, what is this? (Gesture)
14:36An airplane.
14:37And my brain linked through mnemonic footprints,
14:39because that is the way the brain works, the first information
14:41it receives, it becomes like a reality.
14:45That is why people think the sky is blue, that God is a man, etc., etc.
14:47Because the first thing you are told is total reality for you.
14:51My brain told me this is an airplane (gesture).
14:54When I arrived in the classroom, teacher Panchito asked,
14:56"Have you boys learned something new from your parents?"
15:00I raised my hand and said,
15:03"Teacher, what is this sir?" (Open hand)
15:07The teacher kept looking and said: "A hand, Omar."
15:09No, I said, it is an airplane. A Transformer.
15:13Look! (Gesture) (Laughter)
15:15The joke had consequences and was repeated
15:18by the students of second, third and fourth grade.
15:19I was expelled from school.
15:20My mother was summoned.
15:22And something interesting happened.
15:23Since very little I discover something:
15:26things have not the same meaning to me than to others.
15:29And why am I saying this?
15:30Third feature of the brain
15:32First feature: it follows guidelines.
15:34Second feature: the brain makes interpretations.
15:36And interpretation is your gift, dude. It is yours.
15:39You interpret what you want. It is your gift.
15:41If someone offends you, you can interpret the opposite
15:44and feel it is like a compliment.
15:45And nothing happens. Genius used to do that
15:47What do you think people said about Thomas Alva Edison
15:49when he invented the light bulb?
15:51I know it is a myth that he erred 5000 times.
15:53But suppose, the dude had erred 500 times.
15:55What do you think his friends think about him?
15:57"Hey dude, enough! Leave that damn bulb, dude.
15:59Enough! You are traumatized with this bulb.
16:01This is the only thing you think about, enough! Forget the bulb.
16:03You have erred 400 time, enough!
16:06But the dude has something, a personal courage, right?
16:10When his wife wanted to divorce him,
16:12when his children said, "father you are crazy."
16:14When the scientific community threw him away from the scientific community
16:17because he wanted to invent the light bulb. He was expelled.
16:21And you know what? He has the force and courage
16:23and the guts to believe in him while nobody believes in him.
16:28It seems to be the only condition among all the genius.
16:35That sooner or later, all the world will be against you.
16:39You will be dismissed as mad in your project.
16:40And even more if you are noble projects.
16:42And even more if you have projects, you will be dismissed as mad.
16:46The only difference between genius and mediocre people
16:48is that genius, dude, they believe in themselves when nobody does.
16:54When asked, "something of value you have brought?" They say...
16:58Audience: "All you can see."
17:01First feature: it follows guidelines.
17:03Second feature: the brain makes interpretations.
17:04Third features, this is amazing.
17:08To the count of three we're going to do a quick exercise.
17:10Imagine you're in the supermarket.
17:11Come, a supermarket, a supermarket, right?
17:13With your right hand take a fruit.
17:15A fruit, your favorite fruit.
17:17Take it, look for it, look for it next to you.
17:18Don't hold the melon, you dirty pig, but take a fruit.
17:20Come, take a fruit, do you have the fruit? Ready?
17:23To the count of three shout at me the name of your fruit.
17:25One, two, three. Shout it out.
17:26(Answers)
17:27I want you to smell it
17:28Smell your fruit, what is the smell?
17:30Take your fruit, close your eyes,
17:32imagine you have it there, bite it with desire.
17:34Come, bite it wiht desire.
17:36Om, nom! Bite it, come, nom!
17:37Give it a bite, if you don't do it, you don't live it.
17:39Give it a bite, om nom nom!
17:42I'm sure you automatically... your mouth, what did it do?
17:44What did your mouth do? What did your mouth do?
17:47Third feature of the brain:
17:49your brain doesn't distinguish between reality and fantasy
17:54That is why miracle can exist, dude.
17:57Not the miracles like he had cancer...
17:58Not the miracles like he was in a wheelchair and walked.
18:00No, no, no, no.
18:01No, real miracles!
18:04Miracles, the name of a lady whose husband hit her daily.
18:07One day she said, "No more!"
18:09She stood up, left him and earned her life to bring up her family.
18:12These are miracles, but where is this power
18:15to make miracles in human beings?
18:17Geniuses understood this attribute.
18:20The brain doesn't understand the difference between reality and fantasy.
18:24It doesn't understand it.
18:25You imagined a fruit and your brain releases saliva, dude.
18:28When I asked you how it smells you said, "it smells my fruit."
18:31and it smells your dirty hand.
18:33(Laughter) Do I get my point?
18:34Your brain changed the condition of smell and gave you the smell of your fruit.
18:38Trick your brain to do what you want.
18:42Trick it. Everybody is tricking it.
18:43Television tricks it
18:45Marketing tricks it.
18:46History tricks it.
18:47Your father and mother trick it.
18:49Dude, trick it yourself!
