My Father My Cousin

About the Book

I finally understand what my great-granduncle was warning me about: “Do not limit your potentialities.” The family is simply the trampoline from which I would move forward to become the best that I could be. I think that I finally got it. Why should I limit myself to the limit of the visible? Why should I only consider what is close to me? How will I grow if I keep taking only what is near? I then realized that it is better to broaden one’s horizon than to be stuck in a particular place while the world is constantly changing and offering better alternatives.
