new era

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

First, I close my company and my brother. After four years of ups and downs, mostly downs, I feel that 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.

Summarize that with this example. Thanks to her I'm doing in school, the other day I had the good fortune to spend over an hour to talk baseball with one of the guys who work out and his parents. This thing for me was "brilliant", because instinctively I confronted in my head with one of the boring hours of fruitless talks with representatives of commercial suppliers or customers.

First, warm, exciting, alive, joyful, intense.
Second, cold, blind, dull, devious, empty.

To which I asked myself .. but who cares? To me, really, what do 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 virtually impossible.

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

In short then, I will be taken from them for a part time job. This will give me an economic basis and grant me more time to devote to work in schools and in sports in general. Work? Yes Nowadays a person can decide to become a ski instructor, tennis, dancing .. and if it's not really a disaster often also manages to get by with this activity. But in baseball, and more generally in minor sports, this is not yet possible.

I believe that with the sole aim of being able to live decently, sowing now to collect tomorrow, here in Genoa there is the possibility that in future a person may be able to put on at least a "half-pay" Working within these sports. I had the good fortune to meet some people, very courageous, who believed in it and they got it. But others are trying for a while and I'm sure that if they continue so reach their goal.

Although sometimes it makes me a little afraid, I think this might be my way. Who knows. Once an acquaintance, telling her that I was an entrepreneur told me: "oh, how strange! I thought the teacher was doing something ..". who knows .. maybe we had half guessed! :)

Well .. Only now I hope to be able to give back in some way, sport and personal, yet all that was given to me. I have a feeling that I'll remember 2009 for a while ..
