“Delivering the Letter to Garcia”
There are several wars in this world of ours: between men and women, which are condemned to misunderstand each other since they want different things: men want women and women want… men.
Another war is between rich and poor. And then a third one is between those driving a Ferrari and those who say: I shall still be driving a Ferrari too (on the same side); and those who on the contrary say: you shall be walking by foot, as I do, some day.
Father António Vieira, the great Portuguese thinker of the 17th Century, distinguished between two kinds of people: those of the steps (passos) and those of the court (paço). The former attack the ball at a penalty kick with all their strength. The latter, face to face with the ball, opt for theorizing about how to do penalty kicks.
The former are “can do Joes” following Nike’s slogan: “Just do it”… they are those which… deliver the letter to Garcia.
This booklet in English and Spanish focuses on the marvelous essay written by Elbert Hubbard (A Message to Garcia) and it shows that between progress and misery stands only those who every single day, make a point of being, not part of the problem, not even of the landscape, but of the solution (cover and back cover below).
