Eight months ago on the report I discovered the existence of gas.
Four months ago in It 'the right thing I found out what they are.
Today I gave my little contribution to the (perhaps) the creation of a new gas in my area.

Tonight I was (coincidentally and happily with my mother) at a meeting between some interested in joining a group of fair trade zone in the east.
The first thing that struck me was the amount of people. I expected to be a dozen people and instead were more than 40!

After an introduction by some guys from the gas Birulò (really appreciate the work they are doing) we were divided into three groups and we have already laid the foundation to give life to our microgas.

Beyond the considerations on gas, I must say that I really liked the dynamic of the encounter.

The thing that most jumped to the eye is that "small is beautiful". It 's amazing how the mood of the event has changed from when we were forty people, all facing the audience by way of the slide projector and when we were in a smaller room, a dozen people sitting around all a table.

I especially like the contact with people. The see, meet and talk with other people. Get involved, share, give, receive and maybe make some sacrifice in favor of the community group. It 's a social stuff that does not happen often.

Now let's see if it will work or not .. :)

The feeling is strange. I seem to do things backwards. And 'as if I were making preparations to pull the plug.

Sometimes a company has a personality. They call it a legal personality, but for those who lived it sometimes means something more. Not that it is convinced of what I'm doing, but it really does seem to live down what I had given birth four years ago.
I see him in small things. Fill out forms. Call for public administration. Manage users. Positions INPS. Current accounts. Staff contracts. Only this time I'm closing them. And it's strange because it feels like tightening of the taps. And the company responds accordingly. Already there's not nearly as riba, and happen in a while for the F24, salaries, rent, bills .. slowly as if the company was losing less energy .. .. until we do the act of termination.

it was weird .. to think of it I'm talking about something that is not tangible and visible .. but behind a name and a vat there is a lot. There are so many things. ideas. dreams. sacrifices. disappointments. successes. people.

I'm glad that's my choice, but now I'm closing these valves, despite everything, I get a little me Magone.

Oh no .. not a post about the famous baseball caps. It 's a post about a nice change I am going to do. I like to call "experiment". Even if someone looked at me a little incredulous when told about it.

First, I close my company and my brother. After four years of ups and downs, mostly downs, I feel it is time to take this step because now that reality has no reason to exist. Why mostly depends on me, and my life in recent months has led me to make a choice.

That summarizes this example. Through the work I'm doing at school the other day I was lucky enough to spend an hour talking baseball with one of the guys that I train and her parents. This for me was "brilliant", because instinctively I compared in my head with one of those boring hours of fruitless talks with representatives of commercial suppliers or customers.

The first is hot, exciting, lively, joyful, intense.
The second: cold, fake, dull, deceitful, empty.

To which I asked myself .. but do I care? To me, really, that I care to waste precious hours of my life behind these commercial logic, when I get a lot more when I pass an hour or so to teach children to play baseball?

And the rest came by itself. The first thing? I need help.

Yes, I say it openly. I need help because right now I just have to realize that this thing is practically impossible.

The first person I asked for help were mine. It seems trivial, but for me it is not. I think 29 years is the first time I do so openly. And I'm lucky, because the response I got from my and my brother when I told them this, the eyes were smiling. Thanks, really.

In short, then, will be taken from them for a part-time work. This will give me an economic basis and give me more time to work in schools and more broadly in sports. Job? Yes, nowadays a person can decide to become a ski instructor, tennis, dance .. and if not quite a disaster can often also live with this activity. But in baseball, and more generally in minor sports is not yet possible.

I believe that the sole purpose of being able to live decently, now spreading to gather tomorrow, here in Genoa, there is the possibility that in future a person may be able to put at least a "half pay" by working within these sports. I had the chance to meet people, very courageous, we have believed and they did it. Others we are trying for a while and I'm sure that if I reach their goal.

Although sometimes I am a little afraid, I think this may be my way. Who knows. Once a person just met, saying that I was an entrepreneur told me: "Oh! How strange! I thought the teacher did something .. ". Who knows .. maybe we had half guessed! :)

Well .. I only hope to be able to give back somehow, sporting and personal, so far everything I was given. I feel that this 2009 I'll remember for a long time ..
