Is not serious; a choice recently. In my tormented growth've always kept hidden inside me the difficult role of reconciling competitive sport, cos & igrave; as for many years I practiced, with the studio, which many sports shelve. And so I have laboriously pursued quest & rsquo; last almost in secret: just affect the sacrifices and obstacles encountered in the study of the grammar school along with the practice of a competitive sport, amid unspeakable and indescribable difficulty & agrave; if no real preconceived hostility & agrave ;. The activities & agrave; sports, all''opposto, always involves, especially in competitive sports, a top public its exposure, including additional and several thousand sacrifices and commitments often almost incompatible with the study. And cos & igrave; years after accompanying me, sometimes even in an unimaginable solitude, so far, or until such time as I reached, even sad, awareness of the impossibility & agrave; to continue to grow both these two passions, with the same commitment. These are two activities & agrave; very different. Both require all my energy, my time, distant places to live, difficult relationships with others. You & egrave; sets, this time inside me, l & rsquo; last race, l & rsquo; last decisive competition: on the one hand l & rsquo; activity & agrave; competitive, exciting and exhilarating, but ephemeral and destined to be consumed in a few years; from & rsquo; other & the most ugrave; Quiet but not the least stimulating learning and practice of psychology, namely that difficult discipline whose study I undertook at the university level. All & rsquo; inside of me & egrave; consumed quest & rsquo; last clash and my painful choice, the one from which no one can memorize options go back: I chose the study. I do not want to live in & rsquo; illusion of power to succeed, for my whole life and all we memorize options I do, to give precedence to the 'competitive I, l & rsquo; homo ludens in me, as in each of us.

I wish to dedicate my present and my future in pi & ugrave way; suitable to the study of mental processes, mental and cognitive dell & rsquo; man, in his conscious and unconscious components, such as community & agrave; and as a single; and who knows & agrave ;, perhaps deepening the difficult path, which I now lived, every man in the expression of its competitive asset, than the others and, above all, with respect to himself. Perhaps my choice potr & agrave; many do not seem exciting and much less productive of immediate results or joys, as with sport. Perhaps, indeed certainly, for me this choice sar & agrave; Also source of moments of despair, of sadness or nostalgia, in memory of enthusiasm so far donatimi from & rsquo; activity & agrave; sports and racing. My nature, to memorize options ;, and my pi & ugrave; inner me, do not allow me more & ugrave; referrals or impossible multiplication of my real ability & agrave; intellectual and physical. I had to choose between illusions and reality & agrave ;, as everyone & egrave; imposed, sooner or later in life. I greet you all and thank you: I have always followed and also accompanied in the most & ugrave moments; difficult. This, for me & egrave; perhaps one of the most & ugrave; tormented, my thoughts to you remains despite the change in my life: point and head & rdquo ;.
