"THERE'S A TREMENDOUS BIAS AGAINST TAKING RISKS.
EVERYONE IS TRYING TO OPTIMIZE THEIR ASS-COVERING."

« The Furlan is like the Leaning Tower of Pisa; it bends but does not collapse. It is difficult to bring down a Furlan. 

Wars, hardships, earthquakes, floods, landslides, and harsh winters have been attempted, but to no avail; the Furlan refuses to surrender. 

Physically vulnerable like everyone else, but morally unyielding. Morally, the Furlan is made of cast iron [...]. 

An hard worker, yet an irreducible enjoyer of life, the Furlan savors every free moment. 

They cherish good company and a good glass, an indefatigable conversationalist in the tavern, yet when it's time to work, they transform into diligent workers, silent and focused. 

The Furlan values friendship, and generosity is their hallmark. They are altruistic to the point of sacrifice, always at the forefront when needed. Dependable and generous, the Furlan is a true friend [...]. 

Unfortunately, the Furlan lacks a sense of moderation, especially in pride. One phrase captures it all: "Fasìn di bessói" (we do it ourselves), they say. This self-reliance has earned them respect from the world and a solid reputation, but it has also led them into unnecessary struggles they could have avoided.

Nevertheless, the Furlan is not afraid of hard work; in fact, the more they accomplish, the more they boast. They are strong with a gentle heart.

In the face of tragic misfortunes, they remain stoic, holding back tears as if crying were a weakness for the faint-hearted. They love their homeland (the Friûl) like no other, firmly believing, and here pride shines again, that it is the most beautiful, noble, strong, honest, and unique homeland in the world. 

The Furlans are extraordinary people, possessing a noble and proud spirit, accompanied by an almost innocent sense of pride. This immense pride is not off-putting, but rather something to admire».

"WORK LIKE HELL. I MEAN YOU JUST HAVE TO PUT IN 80 TO 100 HOUR WEEKS EVERY WEEK. THIS IMPROVES THE ODDS OF SUCCESS…

IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE PUTTING IN 40 HOUR WORKWEEKS … YOU’RE PUTTING IN 100 HOUR WORKWEEKS…

THEN EVEN IF YOU’RE DOING THE SAME THING… YOU WILL ACHIEVE IN FOUR MONTHS WHAT IT TAKES THEM A YEAR TO ACHIEVE."
