What is a Pioneer? – Dialogue with Amable Sánchez, D2


“Si no sabemos lo que somos, ¿cómo podemos saber lo demás? (“If we don’t know who we are, how can we know the rest?”)


We had the privilege to have a dialogue with Amable Sánchez, a passionate for Don Quijote de la Mancha, and a great Spanish scholar. The subject was to discover what is really a pioneer. Before, I thought that a pioneer is a visionary, someone who dares to think differently, that leads the path and takes risks, an adventurous. While discussing with Amable, he told us the following Latin expression. “Nosce te ipsum”, which means “to know thyself”. It seems so simple, but at the same time so complex and abstract. How do we get to know ourselves? What is to know oneself? Life is a process to discover who one really is, and in this process one must take adventures in order to cross the sea.
