The satisfaction of having achieved my aims
"The story of my life is simple. So simple and moving like the ones of any other Italian immigrant. But the great desire and will to outdo oneself is what makes the difference between one and other, and I feel I have the satisfaction of having achieved my aims. Neither because I have had some public recognition nor because I got over my fellows, but because I overcame myself. I will feel actually satisfied if I can make people understand that I overcame myself because this is how I feel like every morning and every night. And I still go on trying to do so day after day" (Miguel Bornaschella). "I met Miguel twenty years ago and he has always been good at re-telling anecdotes and stories. Most...
La soddisfazione di avercela fatta
"La mia storia d'immigrante è una delle tante, così semplice e delicata come qualsiasi altra storia di immigrante italiano. Ma con così tanta grinta e volontà di superare se stessi che è ciò che finisce per distinguere gli uni dagli altri e, soprattutto, con la soddisfazione di avercela fatta. Non cerco riconoscimento pubblico, tantomeno voglio superare o confrontarmi con i miei simili, è la soddisfazione di aver superato me stesso. Potró ritenermi soddisfatto se posso mettere in chiaro che ho superato me stesso perché è questa la sensazione che ho ogni mattina ed ogni sera e continuo a provarci giorno dopo giorno" (Michele Bornaschella). "La vita aveva in serbo per me la fiducia d...
La satisfacción de haberlo logrado
"Mi historia es otra historia más, tan sencilla y delicada como la de cualquier otro inmigrante italiano. Pero con tantas ansias de superación que es lo que termina por diferenciar a unos de otros y con la satisfacción de haberlo logrado. No por el reconocimiento público, ni por la superación al semejante, sino por la superación a sí mismo. Me daré por satisfecho si puedo dejar en claro que me he superado porque así lo siento cada mañana y cada noche y sigo intentando hacerlo día a día" (Miguel Bornaschella). "La vida me tenía reservada su confianza para llevar a cabo este relato. No solo eso, sino la oportunidad para repreguntar, el espacio necesario que me ha dado para poder inmiscuirme en sus sentimientos y poder conocer no solo lo necesario sino todo lo que la curiosidad demandaba para completar el panorama. Gracias a unas y otras he podido situar ante mis ojos una historia tan emocionante que no creo que la pluma tenga la habilidad de detallar con la fidelidad necesaria" (Alberto Miramontes).
