I know, I know. You must think who the hell is Carlo Pedersoli?
Do you remember the big guy with a beard in the fights movies, always partnering with Terence Hill? What was his name again? Ah yes: Bud Spencer.
Well Carlo Pedersoli is Bud Spencer.
Still don't remember him? Well then watch this clip.
So what? That's what I thought too. I thought that this guy came, made a few fights movies in the 80s and they faded away. Well how far from the truth was I? As an example of how to live your life, Bud Spencer is far from just a B movie figure.
Did you know that this guy was an Olympic swimmer? He participated to the 1952 Helsinki Olympic games and the 1956 Melbourne Olympic games.
He is the first Italian to swim the 100m crawl under 1 minutes. Performance that he achieved in 1950 at the Pan Mediterranean games.
After his swimming career was over he went on: actor, playing in about 26 movies, film director, business owner, he can fly planes and helicopters, he god a degree in law and registered several patent.
How about that!
He established his company Mistral Air in 1989 that he sold latter to buy a mill factory.
And as a cherry on top of the sundae, he entered politics in 2005.
What a man! This is the kind of shining star that inspires me. How about you?
The morale of this little story is this. Re invent yourself my friend. You are more than what you think you are. Just never stop dreaming and get them to reality. Nobody will for you.
