“A long journey begins with one step.” (Chinese proverb)

“A long journey begins with one step.” (Chinese proverb) In the words of Franklin Roosevelt (former president of the United States): “The only limits to our achievements tomorrow are our doubts and hesitations today.” In reality we will learn what we have to learn regardless of what happens. So instead of taking the limiting path of fear and doubt, let's strive to learn our life lessons by knowing and trusting. "He who knows everything, knows nothing", said a Chinese proverb which, most likely, is based on the thoughts of Confucius. However, no matter how experienced we become, we will never be 100% prepared for unexpected or unprecedented things. For this reason, let us be aware that we never know too much, we are never completely ready, there is always something to be learned. As Confucius said, “what we know, we know that we know. What we don’t know, knowing that we don’t know: this is true knowledge.” In fact, we all have moments in our lives that we think will never happen again. This is why it is said that there are moments that are more unrepeatable than others. However, every day we can discover something new within ourselves. There are no limits to anything. Every day is a new opportunity to achieve what seems impossible to us. “Let’s not be afraid to take it slow. Let us be afraid of standing still.” (Chinese proverb) Our thoughts must be translated into important value lessons, such as justice, sincerity, ethics and honesty. Talking is very easy, anyone can do it, but acting is another story... So let's make sure our actions correspond to what we say. Pay attention to these words attributed to Charles Chaplin: “The value of a man is not measured by his clothes or the possessions he owns, the true value of a man is his character, his ideas and the nobility of his ideals.”
