THREE QUARTERS OF AN HOUR

By FERDINANDO FREGA

When I started thinking about the title of this book, I was three quarters of an hour away from meeting a new and young lover, whose fantasies would be new and sudden.
I immediately realized that it was an indefinite time, but a clear indication that within that time something important and irremediable would happen.
Friend and enemy of Our life, she would mark the seconds and remind us when the time would come and everything would have to end.
But I didn't want it to end, in three quarters of an hour I realized I had fallen in love, an infinite amount of time wouldn't have been enough to love, a time to dream and a time to read and learn more.

In 2004 he became a Freelancer, as a Business Consultant, Recruiter, Social Communicator, in Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Spain, until 2017 and Councilor in the Reggio Calabria Chamber of Commerce.

From 2018 to 2020 he actively collaborates with international humanitarian organizations present in various parts of the world to aid and support to needy and difficult populations, teaching social communication at embassies to refugees from some nations.

From 2020 to 2021 he created the UNIVERSO AL FEMMINILE website, a sentimental, love and affective consultancy project, online only. The investment is considerable, but the Italian investors express their intention of not wanting to participate in the new corporate asset and the activity is considered definitively concluded, recording the first failure.

September 2021 he becomes Author, Poet, Writer of Fiction-Non-Fiction, Autobiographical, Creator and Creative Executor, in conjunction with a Psychiatric illness, inherited from his mother, the effects of which lead him happily to cure himself, and to gain the settlement of the Pathology (living without effects) and achieving a better and normal life.

He produces and publishes narrative texts and autobiographical stories in America, always monitored by critics, and is recognized as an author who creates reading by bringing a new way of writing, with his seventeen multilingual books and his seventeen e-books in English.

The thing that surprises him is that out of interest in his books, they are bought and resold at double the market price, but there are many who are doing this exercise.

His training leads him back to attending an Esoteric school for 30 years and to his life values based on Universal Principles and Values oriented towards good and justice.

He has three adult children, and because of his activity he is always looking for places in the world to live, which can give him the best inspiration, because writing always remains the only means to be able to tell and remember, bringing smiles.

His concept of women leads him to express and say that they are especially important, stating that they are truly at the center of his Universe, unfortunately not all of them can be satisfied, alas. He has gained professional experience in the following sectors and managerial positions on:

Consumer Goods, Temporary Agencies, Construction, Corporate Security, Fast-food Restaurants, Electronics, IT, Hard Discount, Real Estate, Truck Mechanics, Food Organizational Plans, Writing, Social Communication, Relationship Counseling, Teaching, Charity.

There are still many things to do, and even if the time is not enough, he tells us the minutes, our heart and our soul always give us the desire to bring help and a word of comfort to people in need, and I am always offering unique moments, each story is truly unrepeatable.

PREMISE

Three quarters of an hour.

It is an indefinite time, the one that flows between 30 minutes and the completion of the hour, available to do wonderful things.

Also, a clear indication that there is a limitation to conduct and complete a project, family and professional.

Something that must be done within that time, friend, and enemy of our life, which marks the seconds for all of us and remains silent waiting for our action.

Three quarters of an hour: an infinite time to think, listen, read, write, speak, a limited time to dream.

An enjoyable time to love, remembering that women must fall in love and men conquer.

I learned this evening from a mutual colleague that your health conditions are not the best and this pains me humanly and personally.

You have always been a little more than a father, attentive, with your Friulian culture that left little room for maybes or whys, but decisive and peremptory without friction.

Sometimes you made me feel like that son, you who would have liked to have three women and filled me with pride but which I never showed you.

You always had my respect and I paid attention to all the things you taught me and the others you did not tell me.

The first fifteen days of training in your area of work will remain indelible in my mind for your way of doing things and for how you manifested yourself in practice with customers, you are a Master of Communication and a first-time decision maker.

You never gave your opponent time to think, you were always three steps ahead, ready to supervise the problem with the solution in your pocket.

In recent years I have had the opportunity to meet your daughter Alice, an established doctor at the Messina Polyclinic who, with kindness and great professionalism, was close to me in a difficult moment for my disabled daughter.

Then I met by chance your daughter Elisabetta, a bank manager, and she herself had difficulty recognizing me with 30 kg less weight.

I did not have any other meetings, but I would have gladly greeted you in person when one day, being in Messina, I learned that you were not walking at your best, but there was not the opportunity.

Now you have my phone number, I am easily reachable, I currently do my own business consulting, not the easiest job, but I also dedicate myself to being a writer, but that is another story.
