"I wanted to become a writer", Berisha recounts his dream left

Stripped of his politician's costume, Sali Berisha has recounted details from his personal life, from childhood to the first steps of entering politics.

In "Flet" with Ilnisa ​​Agolli, the leading democrat told how he received the title "Doctor" by leaving behind his dream of becoming a writer. Berisha said that he had started writing a story, and there he realized that it was not a writing that had come from his heart, but from his mind.

"I started writing in my early youth. Poetry mainly and I ended my literary career after writing a story inspired by Prosper Merimee. From Merimee's Corsican motifs, there is a "They call my father Mateo Falcone". He has a story. And I found a very similar but real story by Mateo Falcone. I wrote that story and thought that with that story I would have a success. But after I filled a notebook with it, I read it and I didn't like it.

I had this. What I had read very early on, Fishta used to say to Mjeda, "you have them from the mind, not from the heart". But this was imprinted in my mind as a child. It imprinted on me and this bothered me, that poetry should be from the heart, or writing should be from the heart and not from the mind. And I read the story, I believe it was in the 6th or 5th grade. I read it after I had been writing for days and I see that it is from the mind and not from the heart, and angry with myself, I swear that I will never write again..." , declared Berisha.
