Burgos and the High Plain
Through the historic city of Burgos, across the vast meseta, and into the wine country of La Rioja. Days of silence and reflection.
Day 11: When you have long walks of reflection, you realize the value of friendships. But, always be your best friend first.
Day 12: Always do the right thing! The only person who can truly judge you is you — act in excellence and you will never be disappointed with your actions.
Day 13: History is always important in our lives. Please reflect on your life and what you want to be your statement of life — your legacy.
Day 14: Imagination is a skill set that we, potentially, each possess. But, it must be nurtured to remain vibrant and alive. Have some fun with yourself — be imaginative every day!
Day 15: What is my contribution in life? This is a telling question that ought to be asked by everyone. Our society should not only be about me, it must also be about we.
Day 16: If we were more compassionate to our fellow man, the world would truly be a better place. Next time, say hi to the person in distress. You will be giving them the gift of compassion.
Day 17: To be a philosophical entrepreneur is a statement of your career. It can be embraced in either private or public service, but it gives freedom.
Day 18: The sky is so inviting. During the day, it is filled with comforting light, and at night, infinite constellations of stars. The sky reminds us that our future is limitless. Only I can decide my path.
Day 19: Anger is an emotion that everyone experiences. The sophisticated person, however, knows how to manage his anger, control its thrust, and, ultimately, produce a positive result.
Day 20: In life, we are free to do what we truly want to do. That said, I must be willing to devote myself to my dreams. This is not an idle claim, but the truth. Hard work is a prescription for success.
