He must stop looking at me.<\/p>\n<p>So, OK. I think it is positive if I am not the Black Mamba anymore. I will be the Red Mamba, si?<\/p>\n<p>Because Ducati is red and not black, but I am still the Mamba.<\/p>\n<p>Dovi can be the Sad Mamba.<\/p>\n<p>So you remember when I said: &#8220;To have a goal without effort is a dream. To make an effort with no goal is a nightmare. I work in my dreams.&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I say that.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t make me explain it to you, OK?

But you have to start to be great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gigi went immediately to another room to think about this.<\/p>\n<p>So I follow him and I say to him another famous thing I have said. I said, &#8220;Gigi, the idea here is simple. If you can dream it, it is possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gigi straight away got into his car and drive away to think on this and maybe he is dreaming things. So I am having a positive effect on him.<\/p>\n<p>And I will have a positive effect on Ducati, because I have dreamed it.<\/p>\n<p>Gracias,<\/p>\n<p>George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Ducati, Gracias for your letter the other day.
