I just hope that others have the chance to experience such a wonderful time: ten days living together, discussions and debate, fun and ideas, work and relfection.
Right from the beginning of our cohabitartiion, I realised that I was surrounded by very special people; I knew straight away that I would have the chance to lean a lot from each of them.
Living alongside them was a reason to grow, and it was not difficult to find new energies to give life to new thoughts.
You just had to listen, listen, listen and trust yourself and everything else just fell into place.
It was wonderful because, I think, everybody tried to overcome their own individuality without denying it, or creating a competitive atmosphere. Everyone managed to draw energy from the others, and it wasn’t long before the results began to show.
It was inevitable that something special should grow out of such a fertile and unique atmosphere
I have never been able to combine hard work and fun with such intensity at the same time.
Now it is even clearer what I have to learn, look for, listen to and feel. I’m beginning to understand what I really want to do in life.
