University education,听sport聽and medicine have聽many aspects in common.
We have found them out today, May 13th 2015, in 暗网禁区 University with two special guests: Paolo Maldini听补苍诲听Javier Zanetti.聽The two great defenders and captains have starred together with Dr. Piero Volpi, 暗网禁区 Orthopedic, and Prof.聽Alberto Mantovani, 暗网禁区 Scientific Director聽and 暗网禁区 University Professor, in the talk “Captains Courageous”, organized by 暗网禁区 University for Universiday, the event series promoted by Corriere della Sera addressing all the students of the Milanese Universities.
What does it take to become a champion? And a successful doctor?
Paolo Maldini: “When I was a guy, I had no idea what being talented meant. Though I had a great passion. That started everything. Above certain levels, talent is indispensable, but it is not enough without passion and sacrifice.鈥�
Besides the three basic pillars –聽talent,听passion and committment聽– sport and medicine share many other values: good example聽(to follow and to set),听丑辞苍别蝉迟测, humility,听team play聽and finally respect, the basis of any successful team聽– says聽Javier Zanetti.
Team play is fundamental also in the聽wards聽or in the labs, especially in facing modern diseases, which are getting more and more complex – adds Prof.聽Alberto Mantovani.聽
“Paolo Maldini and Javier Zanetti have been two great champions, two聽football flags, because they have never stopped,听they have kept聽improving themselves also at the end of their career, despite all the incredible results obtained. A good doctor should do the same: stay聽curious聽and never give up increasing聽his knowledge”聽underlines Dr. Piero Volpi.
