Per qualche amico l’editoriale di Gramellini, giornalista de La Stampa, è un must quotidiano. Per me non è così. Tuttavia a volte il suo messaggio è così forte che ne vale really worth it and, considering the topic, and the fact that we are in a moment (now) epochal (then the future will tell ...) I took the opportunity to let you read, and I've copied below. Worth really big words ...
For Some of my friends, to read the leading article of Gramellini, journalist of 'The Press' (Italian newspaper), is an everyday 'must'. Not for me. But Sometimes His message is so strong That it really worth and, Considering the subject of the article, and the Fact That We are in a historical moment (now, then the future will tell us ...) I Decided to let you read it I know I copied it below. They're really great words ...
"When your ex-classmate is elected U.S. president, have a nice repeat to all the microphones that you are happy. At best, you will feel a very human touch of envy. At worst, you'll be attacked by the deadly disease comparisons, which will cause the feeling of being a nobody. So I was blown away and moved the short interview with a former classmate of Obama: "His destiny was to become president, I become a watchmaker. And we did it both, "said naturally.
And it was clear that he did not exist for a series A and series B, but two of equal value that you wish were made. The dominant culture repeats every day to be happy one needs to enter the small circle of awareness and ensure that only the trades that fame and money they deserve to be prosecuted. Instead, the former companion of Obama has told us something different. That all but everyone we have a talented, big or small, and the only thing that matters is unaware of possessing it. For superficial or inner blocks, many are unable to focus and lead screw maybe brilliant but unhappy, because off-center compared to the initial mission of their lives.
There is no difference between those who repairs clocks and who was called to repair the world, if both instill in their work the deeper meaning of existence. Only one of the two finirà sui libri di storia, ma poco importa. Importa che anche l’altro potrà dire di aver vissuto davvero."

"When one of your former school mates is elected U.S. president, you might tell to all microphones you're happy. But in the end you feel a bit of human envy. At worst, you will be attacked by a deadly disease due to a comparison, that will let you feel a void. So I was quite shocked and touched by the short interview with a former school mate of Obama: “His fate was to become president, mine was to become a watch repairer. And we both made it”, he said with naturalness.
It was clear that he didn’t think about an A class and a B class, but two desires of equal value that were made. The dominant culture every day repeats that to be happy you must enter inside the small circle of fame and that only those jobs which can guarantee fame and money should be pursued. Instead, the Obama’s former school mate told us something different. That all of us have a talent, a small or a big one, and the only thing that counts is to realize that we possess it. Lots of people are not able to focus on it, for superficiality or inner mind blocks, and maybe lead brilliant perhaps unfortunate lives, not aligned to the original mission of their life.
There is no difference between those who repairs watches and who is called to repair the world, if they both fill their work with the deep sense of their own life. Only one of them will be put on history’s books, but it doesn’t matter. It counts that the other one could say that he also lived his life."
