I was heading once more to Rome Italy. After arrival
to Fiumicino airport I jumped into a taxi. The driver was a bit reluctant to
take a customer, because he preferred watching a local football game. He had an
old portable television with a long antenna installed on the dashboard of the
car. Despite the age of the product, the quality of the picture was pretty
good.
Finally the driver started the engine and we were on the road. I was surprised that the driver did not switch off the television. I
started to be really scared when the speed reached 180 km/h on a highway and
the driver was concentrating most of the time watching the football game and
fixing the television. The old portable television was not designed to be used
on the move and the quality of the picture went occasionally bad in such a high
speed. The driver was hitting the television repeatedly. Anyway, it
was possible to follow the commentary and most of the time the picture, as
well.
I felt lucky when I arrived at the hotel in one piece.
However, the Italian passion to football impressed me. It also proofed to me that if
there is a will, there is a way.
Lessons
learnt:
Learn to combine business and pleasure.
If there is a will, there is a way.
Life remains exciting if you retain your
passion to sports.
