In this French TEDx talk, Mohamed Boclet narrates his personal transformation from a struggling school child labeled as “incapable” to a champion of speed‑reading and founder of the association “Connaissance Illimitée”. He introduces the metaphor of “Superman” as the inner voice of fear and resistance that appears whenever he contemplates change. After recounting early academic difficulties, the support of his parents, and the strict discipline of a teacher who helped him stay in school, he describes his professional journey at Enedis and the existential questions that arose during a relocation to Montpellier. A pivotal moment occurs when his wife signs him up for a speed‑reading workshop; confronting his “Superman” he decides to attend, discovers techniques that can increase reading speed from 200 wpm to 500‑1000 wpm, and embarks on an intensive training regime with mentors and the French national team. He competes in the 2019 French Speed‑Reading Championship, reading a 473‑page book in 2 h 30 min and finishing among the top 30, which validates his new abilities. Throughout, he reflects on the importance of purpose, time efficiency, and the “why” behind reading. Inspired by this experience, he creates the “Connaissance Illimitée” association to teach speed‑reading, memorization, and mind‑mapping to hundreds of people. He concludes by urging the audience to “tame their Superman” and adopt the mantra: “To get what you never had, you must do what you never did.”
