Comments on: A New Kind of Hero for a New Kind of World, Career Hero #10 http://silvanaroiter.com/?p=1228 Career owner - Strategic job hopper - Serial entrepreneur Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:19:46 -0700 hourly 1 By: Federica (Italy) http://silvanaroiter.com/?p=1228&cpage=1#comment-2728 Federica (Italy) Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:13:31 +0000 http://silvanaavinami.com/?p=1228#comment-2728 I'm truly glad there are people in this world that still believe in every human creature's inner power and potential. I'm going through a "chancing my path moment" finally seeing the road sign of the one I really love, so these reflections help me to let all the fears go and trust myself more. I also read the post about Jo the doctor-actor that became a mentor, finding it brilliant. You're right: the most of the time is the fear of the "what's coming then?" that restrains us from taking the right decision. But going on with a life with a constant regret in your chest is not really living so thank you for showing us that through hard work and dedication making "it" is possible… Surely because of a “bigger” reason but also because we do want it and work for it. Ciao, Federica I’m truly glad there are people in this world that still believe in every human creature’s inner power and potential.

Thanks for the name of the book - I'll look it up. And in answer to your wondering, I've come to realize that there are no shortcuts in life - that is for the most important things. If we knew from day 1 what we were meant to do, we would not accumulate the lessons and insights that we do along the way - that we gain from searching, questioning, trying. And it is those lessons and insights that allow us to carry out our reason for being. Without them, we would be unprepared for our unique task at hand. Knowing this, living it with my own skin, is what gives me the peace of mind that every single moment, experience, and what have you, in my life has a reason for being...I'm certain that if you pay close attention, you will find the same. Everything happens for a (bigger) reason... Stay in touch, Silvana Thank you Federica,

Reading this post reminded me of this book, you may find interesting: Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely, Harper Collins Ed. One of the main ideas of this book is how difficult may be to find our way through many choices and that, very often, having too many opportunities makes us do suboptimal decisions. I wonder why sometimes realizing what we really are made for is so difficult and takes so much time and effort... Hello Silvana,
