challenges. Goals to be achieved. Or simply, as the common man would say, "exams never end". Ther e's always a goal to r each in fr ont of us, a podium we hope to step on, the cr owning of an intense and challenging wor k, that we hope to seal with a toast, maybe made of champagne. In life like in spor t, ther e's always that last climb it separates us fr om the end of a jour ney, a climb to face pr opelling hear t over obstacles, squeezing every last bit of ener gy out of our r eserves, just like the unfor gettable Mar co Pantani would have done. We fight, we str ive, because sometimes challenges we face, they look to us like an Ice Challenge stage. Challenges to asser t our selves, to get new hor izons; challenges they impr int inside us like images on a featur e film. A featur e film named life, which we only can give color and value to.
