Emilio,
an example
of optimism
Emilio Cuartero, a colleague working for the
waste collection area at Parque de Manote-
ras (Madrid) has played a leading role in one
of the year’s most optimistic stories. For the
past two and a half years, Emilio has been
making school children happy with the
“Bob Sponge Show”.
In these difficult times, his case is a real
example of optimism, as expressed by this
FCC employee: It is a gesture that makes
us forget the current difficulties and brings
us joy for a few moments”. As Manuel Vi-
cent, the author from Valencia has said,
“optimism is a source of wealth”.
Once upon a time …
Every story has a beginning. One day so-
meone uploaded a video in YouTube that
became a hit in just a few days and was
one of the most viewed video at this web-
site. The protagonist is a young, happy and
optimistic fellow and the players are joyful
children.
Our protagonist never thought that this ac-
tion would have such an impact. At first, he
felt a bit overwhelmed but now he is more
relaxed and, most importantly, very pleased
to have made children happy and to have
received the support of FCC and those who
watched the video.
Many parents remarked on the website that
they were thrilled when they say the video,
something that has filled Emilio with pride.
“Now, all I can say is that I am very please
and knowing that this made the children
happy made all the effort worthwhile”, he
said.
His colleagues have told him not to change,
to stay the same, and to continue working,
enjoying, and doing good deeds.
His boss has shown his support from the
very beginning. “I have been congratulated
for this and all they told me is to remain as
I am and to continue entertaining the chil-
dren”.
Bringing joy to children
Here, it is not necessary to pronounce the
classical phrases from the world of enter-
tainment, such as “ladies and gentlemen ...,
or welcome to the biggest show on earth
and discover the magic of the circus”. Emi-
lio comes on the stage and his public, as in
any other show, is anxiously waiting.
