On Saturday, February 16, 2019 the BOOK CLUB participants learned how passion and perseverance forge destinies through “LβART DE LA NIAQUE”. They also learned to THINK EFFECTIVELY IN 5 STEPS. Indeed, the panelists taught them to look for simple solutions to a complex and difficult problem. And to stay on the ground facing a daunting challenge. They were invited to dig up their knowledge at Stage 1 (Earth). Then consider their failures as sources of lessons and take better advantage of these failures. They should not be afraid to fail because from their failures, they will find the tools they need to succeed (Fire). They must learn to be their own Socrates by raising questions (air) and creating new ideas from the old ones. They understood that solutions to small problems bring solutions to big problems (Water). They were asked to initiate the change as Stupidity can be defined as doing the same thing and hoping for a different result. In the face of a problem one has to exploit other alternatives, methods, ways instead of doing the same thing at best (quintessential element).
