I I thought just mention this as we the the Beatles become a theme that I'm I interviewed a poem accounting for the element that's it that's what is and a poem called me or pull thank went to %HESITATION the pulling shit you I which is now a little that was my name and I want the collegiate that there's another end of hope street and that I
asked a Pullman I helped a little bit would look for in the early days of mark for the stone which in the team got together it's a fantastic school but I a not so wonderful job and I ask them how they are if he had enjoyed music school and he said no he hadn't I said did you miss you did you think you had any talent
so now it doesn't at one of the people the same music program the school committee is younger with us that George Harrison and %HESITATION I asked apple if you thought the teacher thought George had any time and he said no so I said well look I'm just part of my argument is that talent is often buried after looking for incorrect conditions so I said well what
this perfect comment that there was this one music teacher in Liverpool in the late nineteen fifties who had half the Beatles in his class and he missed it they said yes that's right well it's a bit of a side business thank Elvis Presley met Elvis mentioned in it I went to school in tupelo Mississippi and he wasn't allowed in the glee club at school they said
he would ruin mass and Elvis well we all know what a great heights the glee club went onto once a minute to develop a set the picture and that's the point isn't that that you know your life is Ukraine to the court to the talent you discover not you mention the talent on the and a few years ago I spoke out hosted a session of the
Vancouver peace summit and that he was the guest of honor so when I got to hospital room and it was a session cold world peace through personal peace so we had about an hour so the head we just killing time the final sentiments youngest but time I have to introduce the melanoma I mean how much interest me yeah well it but this is you know you
you you mentioned the great works that I mean but this believe in reincarnation so he's the fourteen found tell us a lot to get into an introduction you know if you're gonna gonna be comprehensive about it and I know that I then realize I didn't have to do some as I thought of your name starts with the yeah you can relax socially county the same excuse
me which dalam are you that would be the and he said a lot of really great things I'm and unders Mike said lots of the great truths have been known since the beginning of time and the very simple but one thing say he was asked a question at some point during the session and %HESITATION we'll sit at two thousand people you know waiting for the the
great man to speak %HESITATION the right twelve is at the time I was on the panel I would say facilitating it please ask this question you got a picture in a sitting cross legged on a from yeah I get a chance help for from today but that I wouldn't go so far with a teddy bear it myself but but no sitting cross legged that can big
wooden chariots and %HESITATION the baseball cap on and it was asked this question and he took a deep breath and ponder this report about a minute Tina is like a long time Amaro said nothing this is going to be fantastic and this man has a definite article in his name so it's gonna why take lightly comes out with us and then he leant forward he took
a breath have comes and he said I don't know I thought what you mean you don't know you perfect time moment you know you have the definite article written and and he said I never thought about what you think yeah I love that it's been a theme of afternoon business that knowledge isn't about what you know it's about what you don't and being prepared to say
I don't know I'm gonna find out it shows all the presentation what you're saying about the rest on up and I'll try that safe you know it's not over you know as long as you're alive and breathing and maybe not even then I'm under the great teaches his has on the world's great teaches all the people who also learned with the students one of the public
educational supposed to know you've got it wrong file and after all the great questions aren't terribly notable that even the how to science doing it said by the way is little things we said that on to be born a toll is a miracle so what you going to do with your life and this really resurrection and Sam from to put on one of seven kids and
my brother John who's sitting right there behind Michael jumped I have a hot non random most after and I just want to explain what was going on there it's so easy misinterpreted but I'm out of mind evidence brought about that but and that's John and John has been %HESITATION doing our family tree it's not much of a tree if it's like a small shrub isn't ready
for that out fungus infection which smoking might have but but he discovered that all seven of our eight great grandparents world born in Liverpool in the nineteen century within two miles of each other that's how they met no they run into each other that's how people use to make in life was very local we didn't travel great distances like older people just went to work and
came home it was about as far as I could walk and they would come back again I'm so that's how they met now you might say no that's not the case that you're missing the point there's a cosmic theme here that you miss and it had the the cosmos okay arrange things that these eight cellmates converges same point the space time continuum that they should medium
procreating continue the process that has led to the mayor who is me yeah it's it's away thinking back I don't think some I just in the had lower standards and frankly I think I think people can run into the street thought you wanted and I I can spend my life with you not being considered bass this will be fine you know they didn't know Angelina Jolie
was in prospecting or old friend Pat that didn't have TMZ all people magazine just not the people around but this is the fun to say they went on and had kids and eventually my grandpa grandparents opponent and all parents of bone %HESITATION no shipment like fifty odd years later and that was at night in the pub and here we are you know and it's a miracle
father but the thing is I talk about that because if you think of the chances of you being born a toll that pretty remote right statistic an old looking hot tomato motsak doesn't know you let your partner if you have one that separates a pretty remote thing things you do and how that came about your whole life is composed by the choices you make turning to
move towards entretanto way from a chance you're prepared to risk the way you deal with your pharaoh you don't you know and in the process you cry to life of some sort and it's a miracle and it amazed me how little people settle for burial may go the whole of the lies in a state of anxiety thinking well if I tried it won't work and anyone
who have achieved anything and the lies was prepared to be wrong to make a mistake and try it and that's how culture progresses how lines progress it's how you build a legacy and have a life in the process and everyone makes their own choice about that sort of thing and I just feel like to be one of the great %HESITATION feature this afternoon and this morning
show I was able to be here but we had lots of examples of people to Christ right of insults allies in effect in very differently and it's in the way that we do that that were quite a culture and if we got the culture right then we try to like that with no live communally and my final thought notices that's the difference between human beings the
rest of life on earth mean we are jeopardizing the rest of life on earth in the way the web behaving but the interesting thing is that yet human culture is always progressing through this power of imagination creativity the big difference is not between us the rest of life on earth although intimately connected to it we keep forgetting it you know if you got a dog you
know you don't probably has all kinds of feelings and may have some kind of imagination but doesn't manifest it does it in quite the same way you don't see your dog staring out the window depressed reading Camus it's a heinous I joined him for walks in on no you go I'm not in the mood to go have because we live in a virtual world we live
in the world of ideas we live in a world of thoughts and feelings and theories and possibilities and now it's the old maxim that nothing you know is so powerful as an idea whose time has come no nothing so influential as a life well lived and that's really I think what today's been a patent and I wanted on your behalf to thank all the speakers this
afternoon Mitra wonderful Randolph and especially hub for bringing the list of a surprise welcome have can those were the and Robbins our guest hosting the smile sessions and of course a good like to repeat my thanks to all this because all day which of been amazing I should also add of course I'm our own staff the staff at the everyman who have been %HESITATION rob his
