In Argentina, There Are Many boys dream of Being Who car designers, what advice would you give?
-Your question is one That I do Who Almost all the guys write to me. My answer is Also The Same. I believe That dreams Have to Cultivate, in the processing of reality depends on how much we believe in our These abilities. You have to know how to accept That There is always a better than us and That’s Good to Have a goal as it goes. It is important to know That There Is Also always something to learn and something to teach, one better than yourself know where to get, is what is Called “Fiamma” in Italian (the flame, in Spanish). The gift, we all have one. Sometimes Being stubborn is not a defect But A Virtue, not always like all of us, But Surely There Is Something That Makes Us Special. When you know what, the game is done. There is nothing happier living doing what you like and do Than not give up. But I must say the truth: it is very Difficult to Have Faith and always put There head. You have to give up and accept Many Many Things downs, disappointments and Deceptions, But That’s Where the force. The key moments, looking back, going well right away Things Are not, we got Used to Theses stupid and do not give weight. Those with weight are When Things go wrong, When the guys say you do not care what you do, as when i first Sent my resume to the Renault of Spain. I HAD just finished school, But That I Learned. Or When a teacher Told me to point to 3D design, not to draw for me WAS, Also it served. Today makes me a more complete designer. Knowing how to design not know how to draw. Is important, Obviously, but not essential and this is Learned with Time and luck. The most important thing is Knowing how to Defend Thoughts with the idea. You Can not always draw what you want, does not play Often Able to make a new car from scratch, With core engine of 400 horsepower and 25-inch wheels. Knowing What counts is how to do the best You Can With The Conditions and Limitations That Make You and That Is the Same for Any vocation in life. At least, if not go Things do well, nothing to reproach You have.
