conference one of the survivors of the Andes .
Advice Fernando Parrado, survivor of the Andes
"The important thing is after work," It touched
to 2,500 executives in Expo Management with a recommendation:
"rely on the family."
What does today's speaker to fill an auditorium of 2,500 executives and entrepreneurs, many with their wives and children, and talk for an hour and a half without anyone blowing out the issue?
Fernando Parrado, one of 16 survivors of the tragedy of the Andes, to 36 years in the story that shocked the world, got a few months ago just that: move to a business forum and business training to convey the simple morals that you live 72 days left in the Cordillera without food or water. 
was during the closing day of Expo Management 2008.
His presentation, no low blows a monologue accompanied by videos and images of the mountain, had two very different stages.
narrated in the first, with an intimate story full of anecdotes, that marked the moments of that odyssey to 4,000 meters where he lost a good part of their friends, and his mother and sister.
How could survive where they do not survive, he wondered. We survived because there were leadership, decision making and team spirit because we knew long before, he said. He threw a first-timer.
"In life, luck is vital"
When I arrived at Montevideo airport gave no seat number for the aircraft. I happened, by chance, row 9, with my best friend. When the plane crashed into the mountain, broke in two, row 9 back there was nothing. The 29 survivors were on the first impact the party was safe. In them, he said, 24 did not suffer a scratch.
Thus, the less beaten began to help by acting as a team. Administer chocolate bars and peanuts to eat a grain point for hours each. Marcelo, our captain and leader, took their role
content when we asked what happened because they came to rescue.
decided to endure. But days later the leader collapsed.
The radio brought the news that he had completed the rescue.
How would you react?
leader breaks down, gets depressed and no longer is. 
Imagine if I close this room under temperature of -14 degrees without food or water waiting who dies first.
There is a shocking silence of the first to the last row.
Then I realized that the universe does not care what happens to us.
Tomorrow the sun will rise and will as ever.
So we had to make decisions. At night we said 12 or 13 with one of the guys: What are you thinking? The same as you. We have to eat, and proteins in the body. We made a pact between us, was the only option. We face a stark truth and inhumane. From the first row, dozens of children taken by their parents listened open-mouthed. Parrado 
appealed to traditional concepts of business. There
planning, strategy development. Each one began to do something useful, to help us stay alive: shoes, sticks, small human expeditions. We know our icy prison, until I chose to issue final because the mountain was killing us, weaken us, we had food.
terrified climbed to the top of the mountain with Roberto Canessa.
We thought there see the green valleys of Chile and met with snow and mountains to 360 degrees. There I decided that I would die walking to somewhere. Then came the most unexpected moment. But 'This is not the story I came to tell
' he warned.
And he told his real story began to return home without his mother or his sister, not his childhood friends and his father with a new partner. Crisis? What crisis talk to me? "Stress? What stress?
Stress is dead at 6000 meters without food or water, "he stressed. He recalled a fundamental dialogue he had with his father, who said: Look forward, go after that girl you liked, have a life, it works.
I made the mistake of not telling your mother so much for being so busy, do not share many holidays with your sister, do not give me time to talk with them my experiences, do not tell you how much I loved them, and closed, determined:
* 'Businesses are important, the work is, but what is truly valuable is at home after work: ** the family.
My life changed, but the most valuable thing I missed was that home was no longer returning. Do not forget those who have at hand, they do not know what will happen tomorrow.
An endless standing ovation fired him. ... .. "
" I have an abiding faith in my legs, legs of Roberto, who accompanied me. We left a little more spiritual but less Catholics "
" NO SUCCESS IN LIFE JUSTIFIES FAILURE IN THE FAMILY "
* If you have a warm home, he thinks, like I, you are a lucky person! You got to row 9 forward and believe me, most of the 9 travels back.
! FIRST IS GOD AND FAMILY THEN HE GIVES YOU to convalesce, AMES AND VALUES IN LIFE. Nelda
