I will not tell you who I am today, but what I hope to become. Good reading

IF ...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

If you share this thought you will be welcome. I believe that everyone in the world has a chance to help another should do it BUT, if you cut and paste a message with out making it personal, I will decline your request and wish you "Best of luck". That's it.

I request that you read this article before contact me and write me your opinion about it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's better to listen yours than tell mine

Teach, Learn, Share

I only want to share, it's the best way to teach and learn

What I Can Share with Hosts

I respect the person and the house rules.
I having hosted by other sites dozens of people and I know it is very important to leave everything clean, in order, not to cause damage and not afford to bring guests.

I am willing to talk and share my experiences, I can cook an Italian dish (I obviously buying the ingredients) or reciprocate the hospitality with a gift, probably from Italy.

As a host I can offer a private room and a great location: from Novara, really close to MXP airport, by train or car you can visit a lot of great Italian cities, first of all the best known Milan.
