Description

With feet on the ground and eyes on the sky, to design tomorrow. Man is the only being that tries to become something other than what nature made him. That is why he became a creator... Thus, some people became artists, others scientists, others workers of stone, iron, wood, and the field.

Man achieved what he dreamed because he did not know it was impossible. However, humanity is not only a divine gift. It is above all a human achievement: "Create music and work." This is what Socrates dreamed before he drank the hemlock! Let this remain a lesson and an eternal teaching.

Read an excerpt:

«– In the end, what remains of a person? – What remains is what they were for others. What they gave. Whatever you kept for yourself is lost with you. What you gave is what keeps you alive in the memory of others. – What is your own "wealth"? – My students, my books, my friends. Nothing else. Everything else is dust.»
