My first time

di Filippo Addarii

When I grew up in my wealthy provincial town I was taught that happiness resides in life-long marriage with the person you love. Is this still the truth in a globalising society?

Many years ago I left my quiet provincial corner to discover the world. Actually I left to spend two weeks in Paris but I never came back.

In Paris, the capital of savoir vivre, I realised that the province is good for kids and a single relationship, but for everyone else it’s a pretty boring limitation in ever expanding society… Like the life-long job.

Interconnectedness offers a constant exposure to opportunities and people from all other the world. If you leave the door open everyone can be a new and different opportunity of learning and partnership… to make the world a better place… and my life more interesting.

So, I decided that I wouldn’t ever come back to my reassuring home village but embrace our globalising society, never turning down an opportunity and making as many contacts as possible.

I started my carrier in networking.

Poco più di un euro a settimana, un caffè al bar o forse meno. 60 euro l’anno per tutti i contenuti di VITA, gli articoli online senza pubblicità, i magazine, le newsletter, i podcast, le infografiche e i libri digitali. Ma soprattutto per aiutarci a raccontare il sociale con sempre maggiore forza e incisività.
