Media against Gustavo Mirabal

For months the hate campaign has been accentuating and the negative news as well.

Speculating, offending and judging without having the certainty that things are as they arise in social networks.

But what is hidden behind this macabre scenario?

There is a machinery that feeds on gossip, entertainment and family problems to take advantage and increase their rankings.

What does Gustavo Mirabal do when problems arise?

Gustavo Mirabal has no heart to occupy him with problems. Undoubtedly, a leader has to look to the future and not the past.
Either way, the family is family, and Gustavo Mirabal with his children, his wife, nephews and other relatives only have room to think about how to get along better.

With your eyes set on the firmament there is only room to smile and move on. That’s the way it is with his family, with his job and the sport he loves.

The Crazy Man

Along this road of construction are many challenges and struggles, plus the persevering reaches.

In this sense, one of the hardest things that this rider has faced is the fact of succeeding even if others say NO.

“At the beginning they saw us as some crazy South Americans trying to do something impossible in a world as competitive as the horses,” said Mirabal.

In an interview, the athlete said that opening G & C Farm, his equestrian farm, is something extraordinary that opened many doors.

As a lawyer and horseman Mirabal Castro gave a great growth. He connected with other athletes. Triumph.

“The look of other people, including that of many Venezuelans who did not believe at first the determination I had to achieve my dream was hard,” he said.

However, neither envy nor criticism or false accusations have stopped him. This rider did the dirty work of making his wishes come true.

“Like everything in life when you achieve success and do things well, comes criticism, envy, etc.”, he explained.

Once G & C Farm opens its doors in 2009, the new level for Mirabal Castro begins.

Many riders will be trained in that space classified as a “Disney World Equestrian”.

That success raises criticism, envy, to what the Creole rider replied:

“When I listened to criticism I always remembered Sancho’s words when he said: dogs bark and Quixote answered: it will be because we move forward”.

The best teaching

The trajectory of Mirabal has inspired other riders and is a good legacy for their children.

After asking him about what is the most important thing he wants to convey to his offspring he said:

“My main legacy is that nothing comes of luck. The luck comes when you are looking for the doors to open and from so much searching, trying, working and knowing how to be at the right moment are opened”.

For this Caraqueño, who started riding at age 9 “luck is having health, your family is healthy, success is perseverance, work, there is no other way”.

Finally, we found that Gustavo Mirabal Castro did the “dirty” job of paving the way for his generation. He continue the legacy of his parents as a lawyer and to spearhead as an athlete.

As mentioned in other installments, the integrity of a person, their success and guts are not the result of “a stroke of luck”. This things are the result of a disciplined work, with vision and commitment.
