PREAMBLE It's crazy how i felt this kind of urge

PREAMBLE 

It's crazy how i felt this kind of urge to write tonight. It must be  a will to keep a mark of what I'm doing, of what my whole life is about, the point of it. I must be in this life period when  wondering about everything and anything becomes a ritual and  doubt becomes your bestfriend. Who am I? What do I really like? Why am I studying business? Am I really interested in this? Am I useful to the society I'm living in? My head is full of so many questions, wish I could find the answers. We had this very great lecture this afternoon made by an incredible man, Mr. Philippe Pozzo di Borgo. He's a former successful businessman who had an awful paragliding accident. He became tetraplegic which  didn't stop him from roaming the world trying to make things change regarding handicaped people and the way people perceive them. You know what's crazy about this man? He seems happy, wise and in peace with himself. We would all tend to think that what happenned to him would have wrecked him and made him lose the taste of life. That's not what I felt when I looked into his eyes. I saw a man sitting in a wheelchair, unable to move but with all his dignity and pride. A man who was able to rethink his way of life and his vision of society.A man surrounded by a caring wife and a great team. A man who's probably happier than he has ever been. He shared his incredible story (His life inspired the french movie Intouchables a must see) with me and I thought i could share my thoughts and experiences how simple they may be with whoever runs into my blog.
