1
00:00:05,011 --> 00:00:06,261
I always had the idea

2
00:00:06,261 --> 00:00:08,878
that I wanted to work for a company

3
00:00:08,878 --> 00:00:11,275
maybe in the financial world.

4
00:00:11,275 --> 00:00:14,634
Maybe I was somehow biased and affected

5
00:00:14,634 --> 00:00:16,516
by movies like "Wall Street."

6
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:18,609
So, I grew up in Italy

7
00:00:18,609 --> 00:00:21,415
and watching movies like "Wall Street"

8
00:00:21,415 --> 00:00:23,615
where movies that were picturing

9
00:00:23,615 --> 00:00:25,857
this image of successful people

10
00:00:25,857 --> 00:00:28,982
managing in a very successful business environment,

11
00:00:28,982 --> 00:00:32,347
and it was something that was really intriguing,

12
00:00:32,347 --> 00:00:33,742
only to find out later on

13
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:36,027
that the world is not exactly

14
00:00:36,027 --> 00:00:37,771
what you see in those movies.

15
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:40,106
But I guess I had a clear idea

16
00:00:40,106 --> 00:00:43,573
that I was very attracted by a career

17
00:00:43,573 --> 00:00:45,643
in an international environment

18
00:00:45,643 --> 00:00:50,107
and an environment where corporate challenges

19
00:00:50,107 --> 00:00:51,222
were probably one of the things

20
00:00:51,222 --> 00:00:53,109
that would have interested me.

21
00:00:53,109 --> 00:00:55,046
So, I think it turned out

22
00:00:55,046 --> 00:00:56,736
that things were not so much different

23
00:00:56,736 --> 00:01:00,385
from what I projected when I was in grade school.
