Se puoi immergerti nella tua passione anziché limitarti a lavorare, la vita sarà molto più interessante.
You will live a much better life if you just do it and pursue your passions. Those people who spend their time working on things they love are usually the ones enjoying life the most.
Richard Branson

Operatori sociali
Da sempre essere operatori sociali è
essere uomini e donne con il senso della possibilità. Malgrado la
dura realtà in cui quotidianamente ci troviamo a operare.
Da sempre lavorare nel sociale è
percepire la realtà insieme alle sue possibilità alternative.
Individuando margini di “poter essere” e di “poter agire”
anche nelle situazioni più pericolanti.
Certamente oggi, in territori
ridisegnati dalla crisi e solcati dalle diseguaglianze, è più
difficile scorgere i segni del possibile nei vincoli del reale.
Eppure proprio dall’insopportabilità
di tante situazioni emerge la spinta ad affinare quest’arte del
possibile, fatta di immaginazione e metodo.

What do I desire?
So I always ask the question: What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life? Well it’s so amazing as the result of our kind of educational system, crowds of students say ‘Well, we’d like to be painters, we’d like to be poets, we’d like to be writers’ But as everybody knows you can’t earn any money that way! Another person says ‘Well I’d like to live an out-of-door’s life and ride horses.’ I said ‘You wanna teach in a riding school?’
Let’s go through with it. What do you want to do? When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do I will say to him ‘You do that! And forget the money!’ Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing you will spend your life completely wasting your time! You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living – that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing! Which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of which you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way. And after all, if you do really like what you are doing – it doesn’t really matter what it is – you can eventually become a master of it. It’s the only way of becoming the master of something, to be really with it. And then you will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is. So don’t worry too much, somebody is interested in everything. Anything you can be interested in, you’ll find others who are.
But it’s absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don’t like in order to go on spending things you don’t like, doing things you don’t like and to teach our children to follow the same track. See, what we are doing is we are bringing up children and educating to live the same sort of lifes we are living. In order they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing. So it’s all retch and no vomit – it never gets there! And so therefore it’s so important to consider this question:
What do I desire?

Indisciplina
Quando sarà tardi, già domani mattina, molti cittadini, come alcuni malcapitati passeggeri della nave Concordia, non riusciranno più a farcela. Cosa ha consentito il salvataggio della gran parte degli uomini e delle donne su quella nave, se non essersi ammutinati, essersi dati idealmente da soli i sette fischi più uno, cioè l’ordine del "si salvi chi può" che non arrivava dal comando? Se avessero atteso ancora, confidando nel comandante, sarebbero morti. È per la loro indisciplina che hanno portato a casa la pelle.
