Learning to Fly

The author shares his personal experience of learning to fly, including starting at a young age and having a 76-year-old classmate.
The main difference between a Piper PA-11 and a Boeing 737 is the time it takes a pilot to learn how to fly each aircraft.

To take off a project, one must first know what it is and write it down or draw it.
The next step is to filter the project through two criteria: whether it is ecologically sustainable and whether it aligns with one's internal GPS (inner voice).
Just as a pilot checks the weather and flight conditions before takeoff, it's important to assess the feasibility and potential challenges of a project before starting.
Like packing light for a trip, it's important to streamline and focus on the essentials when embarking on a project.
Just as weather conditions can affect a flight, external factors can impact a project's progress.
Teamwork and collaboration are crucial for the success of both projects and flights.
Turbulence and challenges are a normal part of both flying and pursuing projects.

The speaker introduces the idea of positive thinking and how it can be applied to various situations, including flying an airplane and dealing with life's challenges.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of being prepared for unexpected events and having a positive mindset rather than dwelling on negative possibilities.
They discuss the concept of "flying the plane," which represents controlling one's thoughts, emotions, and actions in challenging situations.
The speaker emphasizes that positive thinking and self-control are within everyone's reach and that individuals have the power to activate these qualities within themselves.
They conclude by encouraging individuals to embrace positive thinking and take control of their lives, rather than seeking external solutions or delegating their control to others.

Emotions that are not grounded become attitudes.
Positive emotions are great, but negative emotions should not be ignored or left unaddressed.

The speaker concludes by welcoming the audience to TEDx Necochea 2024 and expressing hope for a future meeting.
