Zanardi’s inspirational thoughts

Alex Zanardi is a great champion in sport and in life and yesterday I heard him speaking in front of an audience of young people. I was touched by two ideas, simple but very evocative.

The first – “We need to synchronize the brain on the desires of the heart” , good idea to explain that we must cultivate our passions rather than suffer the impositions of the environment in which we live. But also puts in evidence that our mind has to play the role of programmer needed to move from simple daydreaming to put ourself in a position to achieve our desire. In this way  wishes and reality intertwine, avoiding being crushed by everyday things because they lived as a practical expression of our passion.

The second – An amateur cyclist who meet on the road during a training tells him that he certainly would doped if someone had told him that doing so he would have won the Tour de France and asking for his consent Zanardi replied instead: ” Are you crazy?”  He then goes on to say that sport is an opportunity and, for this reason, if  we are in a position to win or at least do the best “when does it happen again to you in life to try it alone? And what do you do?  With doping you lose this opportunity.”

These are thoughts good for our heart and mind.
