Find something you love to do – and pay for it (Βρες κάτι που να αγαπάς να κάνεις - και να πληρώνεσαι γι αυτό)

In 2040 I imagine and I hope that more and more people have found and earned a job that really loves them. Not to work with expatriation and with a sacrifice, not to feel wasting half of their lives simply because they have to survive, to stop waiting from the morning to arrive in the afternoon, from Monday to Friday, and so on, to wait every day (either on a working day or that) with the same appetite and passion for their work that they would find in, for example, a hobby. This should be achieved through real investment and engagement with children and young people since yesterday, by effectively integrating vocational guidance into secondary and tertiary education. By constantly reviewing and updating all existing and emerging jobs (university or non-orientation) and their respective lifestyles, personal analyses and psychological tests with a view to proposing alternatives for each individual, depending on their personality and irritation. But even for adult workers/unemployed/pensioners at all ages, there should be guidance structures for anyone who wishes to follow another path, operating according to the same criteria, while at the same time providing advice and an action plan to move from one object to the next.

Le nostre radici e le nostre speranze.
I imagine myself in 2040. I will be 87 years old and (in case I am) I will be an old, really old man. Fortunately, medicine has made great advances, to treat and, especially, prevent the diseases that afflict us in the third and fourth ages. In addition, I have a very good genetic makeup, inherited from parents who both died around the age of 100. I am fortunate to have a grandson (my son's son) who attends the European school, reformed to standards of which the EU. Yes, because it is nice and reassuring that more than Italian citizens we consider ourselves Europeans. Fortunately, our homeland has been able to take a great leap forward, freeing itself from the laces and strings that oppressed it and has become competitive again. A great market, great traditions, a beacon of civilization and culture. We have learned to accept that there are large and very strong competitors (USA, INDIA and CHINA), but we have not resigned ourselves to the decline, to which we seemed ineluctably resigned. For my part, I have tried to pass on to my grandson my experience, which comes especially from the mistakes I have made in my life.

Zelena prihodnost leta 2040
In this world, we have switched to 100% renewable energy. Solar and wind power provide most of the energy needs of households and industry, while excess energy is stored in advanced battery systems or converted into green hydrogen. Fusion energy has become a reality, which means we have an almost unlimited source of clean energy with no hazardous waste. Cities are being completely transformed - vertical gardens and green roofs preserve air quality and reduce the effect of heat islands. Streets are adapted for pedestrians, cyclists and self-driving electric vehicles that operate on a shared use system, reducing the number of cars and traffic congestion. Oceans and rivers are clean, with plastics almost completely eliminated or replaced by biodegradable alternatives. Advanced recycling and reuse systems mean that we no longer have a concept of waste - it all goes back into the economy.
