Erase una vez una niña montillana que miro sus sueños y dijo lo que quería ser. Decidio que queria en su futuro. Asi que cuando llego la mágica pregunta de "pero niña, tu que quieres hacer?" ella respondio con soltura y flamenco "pues quiero trabajar de lo mio, quiero mostrar mi talento, mi imaginación, quiero vender, quiero que me creatividad se valore y demostrarle a todos que soy buena en ello". A esa respuesta tan clara...que se puede decir?pues solo se puede sacar pegas e inconvenientes
Pues si quieres hacer eso necesitas un master
y una carta verde
y un numero de la seguridad social
y conocimientos de los acontecimientos que ocurren hoy en dia
y el nombre de los ministros
y el nombre de las empresas punteras
y el nombre de sus presidentes
y el nombre del presidente de china
y el numero de empresas francesas dentro de la publicidad
y lo mas importante,
necesitas el TOEFL y el GMAT
La niña, que ya no es tan niña, va a cumplir 25 años. lleva preparando estos dos examenes unos dos meses, y mañana se enfrenta al primero: El TOEFL
Pensar negativo es posible pero sin sentido. Desde que ella puede lucha por su destino, y el pensar en su ilusion es lo unico que la inspira a seguir luchando. El camino es duro, pero ayer, esta niña echa ya mujer se sento en mi, en un sofa. Casi todas las tardes llega, se sienta y mira al vacio. Con los ojos quietos en la tele apagada, despues de horas delante de un libro, no quiere saber nada ni de politicos, ni del mundo. Solo quiere trabajar. Por ello mañana hará el TOEFL, y cuando este delante del ordenador sabrá que eso es solo un examen, pero que ella hace su destino salga la nota que salga. Al final del examen volverá a seguir sentandose en el sofá, asi que nada cambiará para mi. Pero todo cambiará para ella.
Mil besos.
What a sofa can tell you
Once upon a time, there was a montilla’s girl (a little town in the southern part of Spain). This little girl looked for her dreams and she found what she wanted to become. She decided her future. So, when the magic question “but baby, what do you want to do?” she answered very self-confident “I just want to work doing my profession; I want to show my talent, my gift, my imagination, I want to sell, I want that my creativity be valued. I want to show to each one of you that I am the best in what I do”. When one received an answer as clear as that one, what can one said against it? They can just make it difficult to you.
“If you want to do that you will need a master,
And a green card,
And a social security number,
And the knowledge of all the things that happen all around the world
And the names of all ministers
And the names of the most successful companies
And the name of their presidents
And the name of the prime minister of China
And the number of French companies in advertising sector
And you have to read two newspapers everyday
And the most important,
You have to pass the TOEFL and the GMAT
The little girl stand out there. She is not anymore a girl. She will be 25 in two weeks and she has been preparing for two months both exams. And tomorrow she will face the first one: the TOEFL
Thinking negative is something easy but with no meaning. Since she can, she fight for her destiny. To think in her illusions is the only thing that makes her up to continue pushing forward. The path is hard. Yesterday this woman sat on me. On a sofa. Every afternoon when she arrives, she sits and she stares at nowhere. She stays with the eyes focus on the switched TV after hours in front of her notes. She don’t want to know nothing about politicians, neither about the world. She just wants to work. For this reason, tomorrow, she is going to do the TOEFL, and when she will be face to face with the computer screen she will understand that it is just an exam to pass. Her destiny will continue whatever the score is. At the end of the exam, she will continue sitting on the sofa, so nothing will change for me. But everything would change for her.
