Adesso basta (Simone Perotti) / quote 99 of 106

Liberi non si nasce, lo si diventa

Mi colpì una frase di Bjorn Larsson, nel suo libro Bisogno di Libertà: «Non si nasce liberi, lo si diventa. […] Bisogna essere pronti a osservare una certa disciplina di lavoro, per realizzare i propri sogni. Non basta sperare, bisogna anche fissarsi un obiettivo e perseguirlo con una certa tenacia».
