Provocative Thoughts for Managers by Beppe Carrella - HTML preview

They say that all
is written anyway
better not sweat then
you are born to be a fire-raiser and die as a fireman
they say that you
have to kill yourself
if you want to play rock in some way
that they will bring you flowers to the mythical cemeteries
you are already inside the happy hour
where living is half price
how much does it cost to pretend to be a star?

(“Happy hour”, Ligabue)

 

It is not a fine show to see! Something is missing!

As George Harrison describes it magically in the song “Piggies”: “They don’t care what goes on around/In their eyes there’s something lacking”. Again George Harrison (Within you, Without you): “And the people/who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth then it’s far too late”.

Yes, it is late! But for what?

 

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in
In their styles with all their backing
They don't care what goes on
In their eyes there's something
_whacking.What they need's a damn good
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
^{their bacon Clutching forks and knives to eat}(“Piggies”, George Harrison)

Exterior beauty, style, messages, ethic are all beautiful concepts, great things: but all this does not move anything, not even a grain of dust, unless there is energy, impulse and enthusiasm to animate it.
Excitement is like a warm and creative attitude towards life. An attitude that cannot be detached, at peace (or rather that cannot always be so) and with a reassuring tone, but is a source of irony, indignation and rage.

Is picking up the rice after somebody else´s party all that is left for us?

Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

(Denis Waitley)
