我无所畏惧

Today， if I have to speak of myself， I would speak about Lapo and not about Elkann or Agnelli or the dynasty or the family business，cause the truth is my life is something else. People think that things come easily. The reality is you can have a name， a surname， you can have a big bank account， but the truth is if you build something， if what you build doesnt have substance on the long run， youre dead.

Life gave me opportunities and chances， which most probably other young people dont have， and havent had， so its very easy to talk from this very comfortable chair Im talking from. My humble advice a young people is， first of all， to be prepared， because the work world is a war world.

So， it means if you think of a great idea， theres always someone who has a better one than yours， so prepare to fight. And fight doesnt mean war， it means challenge yourself. It means， if you think that youre wellprepared， theres always someone better prepared than you. If you find that your idea is smart， further develop it because theres always someone whos gonna have more content than what youre bringing on the market. And， if you can fight your battles as a team， its easier than alone. If youre French and you have an opportunity to learn or grow in the U.S.， go for it. If you have an opportunity in China， go for it. More international your youth is， stronger your opportunities can be.

I would not say that it was necessary， because sadness， drama and certain things are…are not necessary， and luckily its the past and its over. But the truth I would say that， no pain， no gain. Now it seems a very stupid motto and very easy to apply， but the reality is if you dont go through difficulties， you dont understand the joys of life. Im not saying you need to go through those， and I wouldnt wish that， not even to my worst enemy， but the reality is， as I have gone through those， and as its part of my history and its part of my…my…luggage. I have no shame in it. Its part of my life. Its part of who I was， and its part of my past.

If God allows me to go forward 10 years， and if life allows me to go forward 10 years， I think that， with all the humility in the world， sky is the limit. Life is made of two things. I have done a lot of my professional life， my personal life， I think theres certain things I still yet have to do， but I hope I will do in the next 10， which is kids， maybe， and finding the right woman， which hasnt been my strongest skill in my 36 years of my existence. But professionally I would say I have zero fear and I dont have doubts that if I want what Im dreaming of and what I want， I can achieve.

今天，如果我一定要谈论我自己的话，我谈论的对象会是拉普，而不是艾尔坎恩或阿涅利家族，或者家族王朝，或者家族生意，因为事实是我的生活与家族无关。人们通常认为成功对于我来说唾手可得，但现实是你可以拥有一个名字，一个姓氏，也可以有一个高额银行帐户，但如果你想创建点什么，可你做的事情长期都没有实质内容，那你就完蛋了。

生活给了我许多机会和机遇，这些可能是大部分年轻人不会有，也不曾有的。因此，舒舒服服地坐在这里谈论这一点显得很轻巧。以我之愚见，年轻人首先要做好准备，因为职场如战场。

那就意味着如果你想出一个好点子，那肯定有人会有比你更好的点子，你要准备好战斗。战斗并不意味着战争，而是要挑战你自己。那就意味着，如果你觉得自己已经做好了充分准备，肯定会有人比你准备得更充分。如果你觉得自己的想法很高明的话，就进一步开发拓展这个想法，因为肯定有其他人的想法比你的更有内容。还有，如果你能够以团队作战，那比孤军奋战要好。如果你是法国人，有机会去美国学习或者发展，就要大胆去试。如果你在中国有机会，就要大胆去试。你的青年时代越国际化，你就会有更棒的机会。

我不想说那是必要的，因为伤心之事、戏剧性事件和有些事情并不……并不是一定要经历的。幸运的是，那段日子已经成了历史，已经过去了。不过，我想说的真相是：没有痛苦就没有收获。这听起来是一句很愚蠢的座右铭，说起来也很容易，但现实是如果你不经历一些困难，你就不会懂得生活的快乐。我并不是说一个人一定要经历那些，即使是对我最痛恨的对手，我也不会希望他们经历那些事。事实是我已经经历了那些事，那是我个人历史的一部分，是我……我的一部分。我并不感到耻辱，这是我人生的一部分，是我的一部分，也是我过去的一部分。

如果上帝让我继续前行十年的话，如果生活再让我前行十年，毫不夸张地说，我想没有什么是不可能的。人生有两个部分。我已经为自己的职业生涯做了许多，而我的个人生活，我想有些事我还没有做，但我希望在以后的十年里完成，这也许就是有自己的孩子，要找到合适的女人，这个在我过去的36年里似乎一直都不是我最擅长的。但从职业角度看，我无所畏惧。如果我想实现自己追求的梦想，想要自己希望得到的东西，我就能做到，对于这一点我没有任何怀疑。

·Lazy Manager·

A middle management executive has to take on some sports， by his doctors， so he decides to play tennis.

After a couple of weeks his secretary asks him how hes doing “Its going fine”， the manager says.“When I am on the court and I see the ball speeding towards me， and my brain immediately says，‘Back hand！ To the net！ Smash！ Go back”“Really？ What happens then？” the secretary asks.

“Then my bady says，‘Who？ Me？Dont talk nonsense！”

有一位中層经营主管因为听了他的医师指示必须要做一些运动，所以他决定要打网球。

在几个星期之后，他的秘书就问他情况如何，这位经理说：“进行得不错，当我在网球场上看到球快速朝着我来的时候，我的脑袋就立刻说：‘反手拍！上网！杀球！后退！”

秘书问说：“真的呀，然后呢？”

“然后我的身体说：‘谁？我吗？别胡说八道了！”
