De ce m-a impresionat Ghita Muresan

V-am povestit ca Ghita Muresan m-a impresionat pentru ca a aratat in interviul de la Antena 3: profesionalism, respect pentru media si public si modestie. Sa va dau si cateva exemple de raspunsuri la intrebari. Citez din cap.

Moderator: Cand v-ati dat seama ca sunteti inalt? (superintrebare:)
Ghita Muresan: Pai, cred ca era dimineata. Glumesc. Am fost mereu cel mai inalt copil din scoala.

Moderator: Cum a fost sa va intalniti pe teren, la meci cu Michel Jordan? Erati impresionat? Cum era sa stati langa un adevarat gigant ...?
G.M. Pai nu ne-am intalnit pe teren pentru ca jucatorii se intalnesc inainte de meci, la vestiare. Iar pe teren a fost normal si simplu. Jucam contra unui competitor (de temut) si cam atat.

Moderator: Si, ce au zis baietii Dvs. cand s-au uitat la My Giant unde Dvs. jucati alaturi de Billy Criystal?
G.M. Pai ne-am uitat impreuna la film. Si Victor, baiatul meu se uita cand la mine, cand la televizor, cand la mine, cand la film...pana cand, la un moment dat s-a uitat doar la film.

Moderator: Cum a fost sa jucati cu Billy Crystal?
M.G. Billy Crystal este un om care munceste mult si stie sa impartaseasca celorlalti din munca lui. Era primul care venea pe platou si ultimul care pleca. Intre cele doua momente ne transmitea tuturor dorinta si putere de munca, energie, optimism si dragoste de ce faceam noi acolo. (pe cate dintre vedetele din Romania l-eati auzit sa aprecieze la colaboratorii lor "puterea de munca"?)


Si acuma nu imi mai vin in cap alte exemple. Sunt convinsa ca nici cele de mai sus nu sunt cele mai importante si nici cele mai bune replici. Cred ca, de fapt, m-a impresionat per ansamblu omu' asta prin simplitate si forta. Prin modestie si infinit bun simt. Si transmitea iubire pentru tot: pentru meseria lui, pentru Romania, pentru sotia lui, pentru copiii sai...

Frumos si rar, dragii mei! Frumos si rar!

Steve Jobs Quotes

"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking."

Minipathetic Quotable Quotes

“There is always something to do. There are hungry
people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to
comfort and make well. And while I don’t expect you to
save the world I do think it’s not asking too much for
you to love those with whom you sleep, share the
happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those
among you who are visionary and remove from your life
those who offer you depression, despair and
disrespect.” (nikki giovanni)

Quotable quotes

"Rich people spend a lot more money on their own problems, like baldness, than they do to fight malaria"

Tom Waits says

"My kids are starting to notice I'm a little different from the other dads. "Why don't you have a straight job like everyone else?" they asked me the other day. I told them this story: In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day."
