Estudar para conhecer a verdade, e conhecer a verdade para servir os outros | Reflexões

Many people ask me about studying: how to study better, what techniques to use, what habits to cultivate.
But before any method, there's a more fundamental question: why do you study? If the answer is to be admired, to accumulate references, to become an intellectual—the method won't solve anything. The knowledge that shapes a person has another purpose: to know the truth and put it at the service of others.
👉 Why study "rules" don't solve the problem
👉 The three activities that make a human being more fully human
👉 Wanting to be an intellectual to be admired is an empty mission
👉 Wanting to know the truth, whatever it may be, even if it contradicts me, even if it undermines the knowledge on which I base my life.
🔴 Important information:
Project Crossing: Inspired by the idea of Guimarães Rosa, the greatest writer in Brazil, in my opinion, human life is a Crossing "from nothing" to infinity. We explored great works of art to reflect on the human condition.
