Ikigai

Japanese teacher and writer Akihiro Hasegawa defines the term ikigai as something that allows you to wish for the future to come, even if you feel bad about the present. " Gai comes from the word kai (shells in Japanese, very valuable in ancient times), and from there ikigai was derived as a word that means value in life," he explains.

The ikigai is the purpose that we set for ourselves during and for our life. Sometimes it takes longer to find, and sometimes less. I am fortunate to have already done so.

My ikigai is to fight to make planet Earth a better world. Contribute as much as possible. Let none of my actions be trivial. And for that, I always try to help human beings. And the animals. To the nature.

If when I go down the street I can help anyone to load their baby carriage, I will. For her, and for myself. Because in that way, I will feel that I have written a new chapter in my ikigai.

If I find an injured animal, too

I will want to help you. If I find a flowerpot next to a garbage container, I'll take it home. Because I always carry with me that constant desire to satisfy my ikigai.

"The search for good journalism is part of my ikigai"

And in that sense, as a journalist I want to contribute to making my profession a reliable social instrument. I want to help polish your woes. I want to help make your technology transition optimal. I want to help journalism.

I take journalism as a space where you can report. Or rather, it should be reported. And criticize. And educate. And make you reflect. And entertain. And get smiles. And teach how to cry without feeling guilty in the attempt. I take journalism as a crucial element. Journalism is part of my identity. And the search for good journalism is part of my ikigai.
