LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE
Hernán Peláez is a well-known Colombian journalist. Since he was very young, he showed interest in football and, when he was at the university he participated in a little championship which he felt it called him, there he demonstrated his abilities in radio for first time. Now he is 72 years old but, I personally think he took advantage of every day of his life. I consider Hernán deserves the place where he is now because, despite all the things he is been through, he has still followed what he likes. He is an admirable person who people should learn from because I did.
Even though Hernán Peláez graduated from the American University with a
degree in chemical engineering, profession he practiced during 10
years, this was not the profession he decide to follow. It wasn't what
he liked and, he was brave enough to restart in a totally different
career, which is not a easy decision. I like the fact that he took that
risk because, for that moment he didn't know if he was going to succeed
in radio business but that was what he liked. He held all the aces when
making that decision. Now he is not only in an exceptional job but, he
also loves what he is doing.
His interest in football
continued throughout all his life. Almost every job he had, since he became an
official journalist, was related with football. He has covered eight world cups
which should be an amazing experience. Taking into account he began in “Radio
Modelo” championship and now is part of one of the most successful channels in
Colombia, directing his own programs, and works in one of the most successful
newspapers, El Espectador, he is an
admirable person. Hernán represents the statement “success is slow”. Since the
very beginning, in the smallest job he had, he gave everything of him. He was a talking machine even though
the audience was small.
