When I established the GEOX business in the USA I needed a
VP of sales and I put the word out about the type of person and experience I
was looking for, then one day I had a lunch appointment to interview one of the
candidates for this position, or Pat Hogan who since he knew so much about the
footwear business, the Nordstrom family (who used to play golf with him every
Sunday) and the many years of experience in the field as footwear rep that I
hired pretty much over that lunch in an Italian restaurant in Manhattan – even if
he didn’t drink a sip of wine, explaining that he’s never done it in his whole
life (which is why I forgave him and hired too!).
I’m told that with my blog I inspire many to keep it tough
when things don’t go as wanted or planned, well my own inspiration – also of
religious kind – comes from him every time, so if someone is inspired by
what I post in my blog should thank Pat, because he’s the source of my
inspirations.
I hope that all who come to read me here knows already
pretty well about my damnation from the accident, so I see no point in
elaborating on it any more now, what I want to say is that I’m still today always
inspired by Pat and by what he tells me every time we talk on the phone (once
a week, more than what my former wife manages to do).
Shortly after I came back to life, coming out of the coma,
he surprised me very much by telling me that my accident is a God-given
challenge and that I have its reason and solution in front of my eyes, if I don’t
see why I was basically murdered in 2005 it's only because I’m not
ready yet to see and understand – since God never keeps secrets with men – then
he always adds that once I’ll see and understand why I was hit so hard right
when I felt to have reached the top of all my work and living dreams, it’ll be
the time for me to come back to work again in a very exposed and esteemed
position in the footwear industry.
To me this is more than plenty to “hang in there and keep it
tough” even if I’m very aware that our time living here on earth is minimal
when compared to the eternity of our souls after they are let free from our
bodies and join the God creator.
Given that I've already put in my blog here “bits and
pieces” of my beliefs I’m not going to bore you any longer with my “theological
concepts/ideas” anyone can read them both here, in my well-chosen posted links
and by doing any internet search on your own.
