Oggi è il compleanno di Andrea. Ne fa 38, come me. Auguri!
Ho la fortuna di avere Andrea come Amico e di lavorarci insieme da parecchio tempo.
Gli auguri ad un amico possono essere l’occasione, ancora una volta, per dire quello che penso sul senso della vita (BOOM!). Cosa siamo, cosa vogliamo e cosa possiamo diventare. Quello che vale, veramente.
Il resto sono chiacchiere.
Ebbene io penso da sempre che noi siamo chi frequentiamo. Per un minuto, per un giorno, per una vita. Scegliendo, subendo, cercando. Noi interagiamo con gli altri, con chi ci piace e con chi non ci piace, e diventiamo Noi. Chi pensa di fare da solo, magari a causa di un’alta considerazione del proprio ego, e vive nello scetticismo continuo circa il relazionarsi con il prossimo, chi sta sempre lì a giudicare i comportamenti altrui o della massa, beh, secondo me sbaglia. E di grosso. Tu frequenti, interagisci, assimili e ti fai un’idea in più. La tua idea. Ti formi. Sei.
Un amico comune a me ed Andrea, anni fa mi fece un post di auguri simile a questo e qui rubo da quello scritto una variazione sul tema che faccio mia: “Noi non siamo quel che siamo stati, ma quello che saremo”. Quindi, tranquilli, non si finisce mai di diventare Noi.
Detto questo, c’è poi l’Andrea pensiero, ciò che mi fa fiero e felice di essere un po’ Iacomini anche io.
Tempo fa, durante un 2011 che è stato assai difficile e faticoso per una serie di motivi, eravamo insieme in ufficio. Se non sbaglio era terminata una riunione piuttosto pesante. Noi eravamo reduci tutti e due da una settimana di influenza dei figli a casa, il che aveva sicuramente alimentato un po’ di attrito con le nostre mogli che, magari giustamente, ci rimproveravano anche un’ennesima dimenticanza casalinga. Come se non bastasse poi la politica, la tanto amata politica che ha visto Andrea sacrificarsi molto più di me, ma ci ha visto sempre perdere insieme, continuava a darci dispiaceri. Se non erro la Roma e l’Inter (unico tallone d’Achille dello Iaco) avevano anche perso tutte e due e, come se non bastasse, i nostri cellulari in quei giorni continuavano a suonare ininterrottamente una volta per uno senza ricevere da noi risposta con il display che indicava su entrambe “Direttore Banca”.
Ecco, quel pomeriggio rientrando in stanza – eravamo soli – ci sediamo e lui mette su YouTube “Vedo nero” di Zucchero e comincia a fargli il verso, mugugnando esattamente come fa Sugar (Andrea è anche un imitatore sopraffino). Poi si ferma di colpo, mi guarda, e mi fa: “Ehi DeA, ma tu lo sai perché non ci avranno mai? lo sai perché fino ad ora non ci hanno sconfitto? nonostante tutti gli schiaffi, i calci e le umiliazioni subite dal continuo paragone con la generazione dei nostri padri…dei nostri nonni…lo sai perché nonostante i tanti coetanei caduti io e te stiamo ancora qua?”
Io non ho detto nulla. Mi sono messo comodo e mi sono apprestato a ricevere la risposta alla sua domanda, che già sapevo mi avrebbe fatto godere.
“Perché noi non ci prendiamo sul serio, DeA. Mai. Lavoriamo, fatichiamo e siamo bravi in quello che facciamo perché ci mettiamo la passione senza la convinzione di sentirci stocazzo. Vendiamo aria fritta, ci dicono quelli che ci vogliono male. E quando sorridono e spesso ci giudicano, perché pensano che facciamo un lavoro che non è un lavoro, noi la soddisfazione di prendercela non gliela diamo. Perché nonostante tutto non ci prendiamo sul serio, mai. E come potremmo?
DeA, chi si prende sul serio oggi
è perduto!”
Signore e signori, un grande uomo: Andrea Iacomini.
I have seen many useful elements on your web-site about pc’s. However, I’ve the view that laptops are still more or less not powerful enough to be a sensible choice if you often do projects that require many power, just like video editing. But for web surfing, microsoft word processing, and majority of other prevalent computer functions they are all right, provided you don’t mind the tiny screen size. Many thanks sharing your thinking.
As a Newbie, I am continuously searching online for articles that can aid me. Thank you
I’ve also been wondering about the exact same issue personally recently. Delighted to see somebody on the same wavelength! Nice article.
I’m grateful that such blogs exist.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi there, just became alert to your weblog thru Google, and located that it is really informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I will be grateful for those who continue this in future. Numerous people can be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing this very good write-up. Very interesting ideas! (as always, btw)
Thanks for writing this. I really feel as though I know so much more about this than I did before. Your blog really brought some things to light that I never would have thought about before reading it. You should continue this, Im sure most people would agree youve got a gift.
I’m impressed by this blog.

(from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?|Excellent post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject?

Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
