Leave your comfort zone during the epidemic and take a business trip to Italy that challenges your limits

Frankly, even I felt a little crazy this time. Going on a business trip to Bologna, Italy, alone is another extremely crazy challenge in life! That's right. Although I am very used to flying around alone and am not shy, I swear I have never considered and have absolutely no desire to go on a business trip to Italy alone.

Firstly, there is a language barrier, and secondly, I am worried about my own safety. In addition to public security considerations, I am also worried that I will unfortunately be diagnosed during the outbreak of the epidemic, and I will die of the disease in a foreign land with no one to support me.

Recalling the horrific experience I had many years ago, I was in the emergency room of a public hospital in Rome in the middle of the night, waiting with my sick and dying friend for 10 hours and still couldn’t see the doctor, and I still have lingering fears. During the outbreak of the epidemic, it is really crazy to go to Italy on a business trip alone! But this business trip is really important, what should I do?

I struggled internally for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't make up my mind. Starting a business requires a firm will, but this time I was really afraid of being weak.

The final key is because of family factors. I originally planned to take the children to London to reunite with their families. Everyone has arrived in Europe, so I naturally booked this business trip and flew to Italy alone. Bologna, Italy.

I can't remember how long it has been since I traveled alone in a completely unfamiliar city, ate alone, got lost alone, and walked around alone. I used to enjoy taking risks and make troubles, and was fascinated by the new and unknown kaleidoscope world. Now that I have a family and children, I have become cautious and cautious, extremely greedy for life and afraid of death. After work, I just want to stay in a hotel, for fear of being infected by the virus.

The real Bologna is not as dangerous as I imagined. The locals are very kind and friendly, and there are no strange strangers to strike up a conversation on the road. Although English is difficult to communicate in the local area, most people can He speaks French, so he can still survive.

It’s not a very big city, and you can walk around it in an hour. It’s also known as the “Food City” of Italy. The simple Italian dinners at roadside stalls are amazingly delicious, and the prices are relatively reasonable. Neighboring Venice and Florence are much cheaper, especially the world-famous spaghetti Bolognese (ragù alla Bolognese). Each restaurant has its own unique taste.

Fortunately, the four-day business trip went quite smoothly, and there were no traveler disasters such as lost wallets, getting lost, or getting seriously ill. More importantly, I also made great gains at work, and finally solved a joint that had been blocked for a long time. Got through.

I just feel very tired, lonely and homesick inside. I am worried about the diagnosis and want to integrate into the local culture. I am running around all day long for meetings. The very tight schedule has accumulated a lot of pressure invisibly.

On the morning of leaving Bologna, I felt relieved after completing this important mission. I couldn't help but let out the long-suppressed pressure in my heart and burst into tears. On the road to entrepreneurship, you can only keep running forward no matter the sun or rain. However, the most difficult thing is not to move towards the goal, but to constantly surpass yourself and leave the comfort zone you have created.
