Ronaldo has lived a successful life, defining his destiny while living with epilepsy. In his own words:
" 'You have epilepsy.' Those three words, delivered with clinical coldness in a crowded hospital corridor when I was fifteen, shattered my world. At an age when my peers were looking toward the horizon, my horizon had suddenly closed. For the next decade, I lived in a state of angry denial—refusing medication, ignoring my limits, and gambling with my life."
"That recklessness nearly ended on January 1st, when a seizure struck while I was driving, flipping my car onto its side. I was twenty-two years old. The accident was my wake-up call, but true control would take another three years of discipline and two more seizures to achieve."
"For the next fifty years, I led a double life. In the professional world, I was a high-stakes executive. I earned a Harvard-structured MBA and rose to become the Country Head for global giants like FedEx and Chiquita Logistics. I managed multi-million-dollar operations across six countries and four continents, often working in high-stress environments where a single mistake could be catastrophic."
"But beneath the bespoke suits and the boardroom presentations was a man in “Observation Mode”. I developed a rigorous, data-driven management system for my own brain. I maintained complete professional secrecy for five decades, terrified that the “stigma” of my condition would dismantle the career I had fought so hard to build."
