The column on 3 words , created by Chris Brogan on his blog years ago, has reached its 11th appointment . I'm not a fan of fixed columns, but this one, together with the one on the report of my readings, still stimulates me. These are 3 words that serve to frame the year that has just begun, to establish fixed points or stages to reach and overcome. My 3 words from 2012 to 2021 If you want to take a look at past columns, here is the list of all previous "issues": 2012 : challenge, focus, austerity 2013 : consistency, goals, experiments 2014 : specialization, determination, innovation 2015 : change, sharing, awareness 2016 : resolution, authorship, independence 2017 : continuity, value, commitment 2018 : time, puzzles, self-esteem 2019 : futurism, poetry, classics 2020 : philosophy, professionalism, history 2021 : results, renewal, work How did my 2021 words go? Firm in my coherence, even in 2021 not all my 3 words were a success.
Results : have there been any? Yes, although not “totally”. I've finished writing an essay and I'm getting closer and closer to the end of the novel. My new computer, an iMac, has allowed me to Special Data work better and faster. Renewal : there hasn't been any, neither in my work nor in my life. This word, therefore, has capitulated. Work : industriousness, intentions and ideas. Yes, this word bore fruit for her. I worked a lot and interesting "literary" ideas were born that I would like to put into practice. My 3 words for 2022 Unlike other years, this year the first 2 words arrived much earlier, even before the summer. It's curious, however, that every year I don't have to try very hard to find them.
Epiphany This word, today, seems even more valid, yet in my case it has nothing to do with the religious holiday, but with its broader and original meaning of manifestation. Manifestation is the act in which something appears, becomes clarified. Understanding what you want to be and where you want to go. It is linked to the last of the 3 words. Sacrifice Because no intent and no idea can find fulfillment without sacrifice. A word which in turn is linked to last year's work. Writing, like carrying out any other activity - whether personal or work projects - involves sacrifice, that is, dedicating yourself fully, giving up something in favor of a greater interest. Street Do we all know the path we want to take? In writing my path is clear, even if difficult and with uncertain success. But understanding which path we want to take is already a step forward in fulfilling our projects, literary and otherwise.
