David Clement, 33 months around the world with his bicycle Bouquette, and François-Xavier Tanguy, co-founder of DreamShake who traveled on his motorbike from Phnom Penh to Paris, answered – almost – the same way to the question in French:” What percentage of ideas did you carry out on your trip?” When you are carrying out your dream (this means your main idea) you stop thinking in terms of “carrying out ideas”. You just do what you have to do to make your dream come true.
DreamShake is a community platform where you can share your dreams or offer your help to people who want to carry out their dreams.
In this video David Clement tells more about his deeper experience. He says you can’t be objective because of the physical effort and suffering when you are cycling. It’s like a state of meditation where you learn to observe your body and through this exercise you accede a deeper reality of things. David Clement says that this is the way how you acquire a form of inspiration that draws from a better source. May be, you don’t get the answers immediately but you are more objective and you have the right distance.
The interview was made at TEDxGeneva, Monday 7 December 2009. Program of TEDxGeneva 2009.
The speakers were François Bugnion, Louis Palmer, Robert Klapisch, Jan-Mathieu Donnier, Frederic Kaplan, Guillaume Massard, Michael Doser, Bruno Giussani, François-Xavier Tanguy, Claude Marshall and Xavier Rosset. Organised by Yves Bennaim.
