Who are you and what you do? (where you come from, where you currently live, age, what is your current job….etc.)
My name is Patrick Abbattista, I am 30 years old and live in Milan, Italy, where I was born and grew up. After several work experiences, I now run the Sales & Marketing office of Design42Day, a company that I co-founded in 2010.
How you reached here, to this point of success?
I don’t know. I just kept doing what I believed in. Success, whatever it is or you say about it, comes day after day, with hard working and the ability to never give up. Sometimes you wake up in the morning and realize that your dreams are taking a clearer and real shape.
Given a chance to change one thing in this world, you will change…..? And why?
I would change the way people perceive the differences. There are too many stereotypes and prejudices. I wish adults had the same enthusiastic curiosity that children have towards the new and the different. So doing, it would be easier for anyone participating to the innovation process, giving ideas, sharing knowledge and playing a part to make this world a better place. A pure and uncontaminated glance on reality allows you to see things for what they are, so to do the right thing.
The best thing you noticed about the design world? Any example(s)?
The best Designers are excellent problem solvers. There are many examples of good Design around, which is not always visible. I could say machinery for health more sophisticated and accurate, smart appliances that optimize the use of energy, etc..
The worst thing you noticed about the design world? Any example(s)?
Often the creative talent is not accompanied by the same ability to do business and impose a vision, which could change the world for better. It is difficult to make a specific example, but I have met many excellent designers who didn’t have the ability to promote themselves, gaining visibility, get a chance to demonstrate their qualities. Sometimes it is a problem of skills, but most of the times it deals with the mental attitude. Designers should learn how to develop their ideas not only in terms of design project, but also as a business.
What you do in your free time?
I meet friends, travel, read, reason about what I am doing to understand if I can do it better. Generally, I take advantage of any minute to learn something new.
What and how you are planning to do for the next 5 years?
I want to consolidate my company through new projects, partners, and a commercial expansion toward new markets. Also, I want to build a team of highly motivated people who really love Design and are willing to change this world. On a personal level, I wish to constantly improve my skills, knowledge and consciousness. I think that the best way to help others is to be at their service as better people. If we grow, they grow. If we lead by example, they will learn faster. Obviously, I have chosen my mentors, too.
Suggestions for young lads?
Learn to dispel the fog that limits your actions and start to pursuit your dreams, if you have not already done so. Step by step, you will realize that it was not that difficult if you do all that must be done. Often, the limits are only mental. With patience, curiosity and determination, you will find all the necessary resources.
Yikes, I would never have noticed that man lurking behind the door! Concept of fashion voyeurism or just the phohrgoapter’s shadow?Unfortunately my hair is so straight that curling irons are only effective for the first hour. The weight & length nullifies the effect after that, sigh.
Liebe Claudine, eine absolut süße Idee, bei dem Anblick strahlt die Sonne wenigstens ein bisschen ;o)!Einen kuscheligen Abend und viele, liebe Grüße, Petra
Lmao I agree! Wooooooo Hoooooooooo and that lady was crying? About it? I would have been dancing around after I got hold of something like that! HEHEHESorry?! Lol I have OCD when it comes to cysts, zits big black heads even abcesses they got to have lots of pus, not much into the blood but the stuff like this OH hell yeah let me at it! I would have kept going too. Get the sac, core and all out she chickened out. And It had sooooo MUCH more to give!
alicia banks wrote:morehouse college recently had its first wm valedictorian…Yep. True story. Fortunately for blacks, very few whites want to attend a nearly all-black school. Anyway, no one is complaining about the racial bias at the heart of these schools.
F1 é cultura… e põe cultura nisso! Sempre quis trabalhar com jornalismo esportivo e cobrir o esporte que amo, que é a Fórmula-1. Cobrir as etapas in loco parece ser tão cansativo quanto prazeiroso, e o Ico pode dizer isso melhor do que eu! hahaha…Ico, voltei com meu blog, Motorhome, e fiz um texto sobre Hamilton e no que pode se transformar sua carreira após a decisão do tÃtulo de 2008. Se puder, dê uma olhada.Abraço!Hugo Becker

IMHO you’ve got the right answer!
Wow! Great to find a post knocking my socks off!
so nice to see that there are other people out there who know of him 🙂 i heard the submarine song a couple of years ago and could never really forgot about it.have you got any news?
Articles like these put the consumer in the driver seat-very important.
Thanks for the compliment Julius, and yes we do remember you. We’re really excited about developing a highly iterative design process and hope to draw more analysis and information into LMN’s design process on future projects. We’ll keep you posted about where those efforts lead us.-Scott
Salut Bilel,Ok, je vais me pencher dessus ce weekend. Pour le moment je suis à Bangkok et pas de censure de ce côté.Oui, j’avais entendu dire que la Chine censurait pas mail, mais à ce point!C’est clair que d’être sur le terrain permet d’être à 100% sur le blog. Tu testes un restau à midi et le soir tu sors l’article dessus. C’est un avantage non négligeable.Aie, je suis fiché en Chine! lolBonne continuation à toi!
May29 Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your website in internet explorer, would check this… IE still is the market leader and a good portion of people will miss your excellent writing because of this problem.
It's a nice story but I agree with Sonia, it could tighten it up a bit more, for example "A cough, which sounded as though the cougher were close to losing a lung, echoed through the chamber. " Rather than say all that describe the cough – a rasping cough, or gravelly cough echoed through the chamber etc.

Does anybody find it ironic that the democrats propose to raise the cost of energy to cut down on energy use but they propose to lower the cost of health care to cut down on use of health care.
Hey Kevin! A pleasure to see your here buddy! I love my USA Today newspaper. It doesn’t have as much bad news like crime in it. The local paper I rarely read and like you I’ve cut out the local news. Of course if you say Columbia to me, I think drug lords. But I learned last year that Medellin is a nice place to visit. I’m glad you’re not paying attention to the critics. Usually when you’re doing something great, that’s when the naysayers come out. Should be a fun trip!
Your thinking matches mine – great minds think alike!
Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting toknow if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have tomanually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Really nice. I just saw some river otters about a week ago while tubing down Putah Creek, really cool.And to the person that mention Emmet Otter, OH MY GOD, YES! I found it on dvd and HAD to purchase it

Bret,Any good ideas about how to get people to squat fully without their upper body pitching forward? I have been using doorway squats and band work (FMS Gray Cook) to help.Thanks!Erik

Vocês ficaram indignados com o sr. Salvatore e outros porque eles “previram” cataclismas, fim do mundo e demais bobagens. E olhe que essa gente só vem fazendo isso há bem pouco tempo.Então, como vocês reagiriam a um grupo de pessoas que viesse espalhando idéias semelhantes há séculos?De quem estou falando? Abram a bÃÂblia no Apocalipse e divirtam-se…

I remember when I figured out that the scrambled channel came in for just a second when you first switched to it, so if you flipped back and forth real fast…well anyway, that’s how I became ambidextrous…
That’s really thinking of the highest order
What a joy to find such clear thinking. Thanks for posting!
Hey, good to find someone who agrees with me. GMTA.

Had I known about the possibilities of being able to work at home when I was in college, I would not have dropped out for financial reasons. Seriously. I worked a full-time job while working at home for over a year before I decided to work full-time from home. I would have gladly juggled school and work.
