The Mistake that Created the World.
today
i want to talk to you about a very
important subject
mistakes that change the world we all
make errors on occasions
fortunately most of the time when we
make a mistake the results of our errors
go
unnoticed and are basically non-existent
we might seem a little
uncomfortable and challenging our
missteps but more often than not
time only goes on and the world neither
notices
nor cares that we messed up most of the
time
that is however sometimes errors even
small ones that seem trifling at this
moment
might turn out to have immense
consequences as in
changing the world as an introduction
i wanted to tell you a little mistake
that changed my little world
it all started when we were on the plane
to morocco to see family and friends
till my mom told me i really want you to
go to an orphanage so you can experience
the life of other kids that are not so
fortunate to have parents
and 10 days later we were sitting at the
lunch table
till one of the sudden my mom’s friend
get a phone call
it was her brother and it was a pocket
dial so it was mistaken
but you know adults they had their
conversation till he said
i’m on my way to the orphanage the one i
go to every week
to volunteer for my sports lessons when
my mom heard this
she went ballistics she couldn’t believe
it
she didn’t know that this was true so
off we went into the car
but i’m gonna be honest with you guys
remember that old tv movie
annie yeah i thought there was gonna be
a mess hannigan there
but when we arrived it was the most
heartwarming place i’ve ever been to
all the kids were super kind to me i
never felt a connection with that
but i never felt a connection that much
with kids my age
it was crazy how they didn’t even know
what a cell phone was they couldn’t
believe that you could call from one
point
to another point they didn’t even know
what photos were so it was hilarious to
see them play with my phone
we were having a blast but sadly it was
time to go home
it went to i’m gonna be honest i was
kind of scared
to i’m gonna be honest i started crying
because i had such a nice day
now three years later after hard working
with this orphanage
i am proud to say that i have a hundred
and nine adopted siblings
living in the village sophia dar
bouillard
okay so now where were we
yeah okay so the mistake that we’re
going to talk about today
is a teensy-weensy bigger of a mistake
my speech isn’t just a mistake that
changed the world no
my mistake created the world the big
bang
imagine this 13.8 billion years ago it
suddenly exploded
the universe that we know and that we’re
standing on was born
time space and matter all began with the
big bang
in a fraction of a second the universe
grew from smaller than a single atom
to you to a universe and it kept going
at a fantastic rate
it’s still expanding today
as the universe expanded and cooled
energy changed into particles of matter
and antimatter
but these two didn’t really like each
other so they simply destroyed each
other
some matter did survive can you imagine
that protons and neutrons
started to form when the universe was
only one second old
over the next three minutes the
temperature dropped below one
billion degrees celsius to put that in
context
the lowest ever recorded temperature in
antarctica was minus 86.8 degrees
because of this protons and neutrons
started to form nuclei
with all these three forces coming
together boom the universe was created
without the big bang there would be
nothing that doesn’t mean
pitch black no i mean nothing the
concept of
nothing is very hard for humans to
comprehend because we always had
something
even when we closed our eyes we still
see something we always had the clouds
above our head or the grass beneath our
feet
the big bang shows us history of how
stars galaxies and rocky planets were
formed
stars would take let’s say to 50 to 100
million years to form
and galaxies would take 150 to 250
million years to form
and rocky planets wouldn’t even form
to the until the stars used up all their
star power in a catastrophic explosion
maybe it’s not a coincidence that we’re
observing the planets
the the universe 13.8 billion years
after the big bang
maybe it will give us a chance to
experience more planets like our own
light years away
okay now i want you to think about it we
wouldn’t even
be here if it wasn’t for mistakes okay
don’t get me wrong i’m not telling you
to make a mistake
every single day on purpose but you
could make some
on occasions okay
maybe you will make an entire universe
but you could make a mistake that better
your lives and the lives around you
for example when christopher columbus
discovered north america
just because of a miscalculation or when
alexander fleming discovered pension
which helped save hundreds of thousands
of people in world war ii life is full
of mistakes that’s what forms our
personalities and foundations
we learn from them and we all make them
on a daily basis
for example when we forget to do our
chores and our mom gets super mad at us
and then we get punished we learn to do
her chores and to listen to her mom
and as once a in a famous psychologist
once said history is just people making
old mistakes
thank you for your time
