SEC - S13W2 | To think about it

Greetings to all campers !

Every week, Scouts y sus Amigos community offers us an increasingly exciting competition as part of the Steemit Engagement Challenge. This week we will have the opportunity to share our thoughts on famous quotes uttered by various figures throughout history, words that continue to inspire and fuel our thinking today.

Happy participation to all, and may this experience bring us even closer together as an engaged community!

Whoever seeks the truth deserves the punishment of finding it. Santiago Ruseñor

This quote by Santiago Ruseñor can be interpreted in many ways but my personal interpretation according to my reflexion:

This quote suggests that the quest for truth is often a difficult and demanding task. When a person strives to discover the truth about a topic or issue they may face challenges, obstacles and sometimes even unpleasant consequences. In this quest for truth we may be led to question pre-existing beliefs, discover uncomfortable truths or face answers that are not what we hoped for.

So, the idea behind this quote is that the search for truth can be a difficult and sometimes painful experience. It can lead to personal upheaval, conflicts with others or the questioning of certainties. However, despite these difficulties, those who persist in their quest for truth are worthy of the "punishment" of finding it , for truth is often considered invaluable.

In short, this quote highlights the idea that the search for truth is a noble but demanding endeavor, and that those who persevere deserve the "punishment" of discovering the truth, whatever it may be, because it is valuable in herself, even if she can be difficult to accept.

It is better to remain silent and look foolish than to speak and definitively dispel doubts. Groucho Marx

The basic idea behind this quote is that ignorance is sometimes less harmful than pretending to know something you don't actually know. Speaking without having adequate knowledge of the subject may not only make you appear ignorant, but may also confuse or dispel the doubts of others in an unfavorable manner.

In some situations, admitting you don't know something or remaining silent when you're unsure may be a wiser strategy. It shows humility and honesty, and people tend to respect those who are willing to acknowledge their intellectual limitations. Additionally, it can inspire others to explain more or share their knowledge, which can help you learn and avoid saying something wrong.

In summary, this quote highlights the idea that caution and modesty in communication can be more beneficial than presumption and arrogance. She reiterates the importance of thinking before speaking and recognizing when you don't know something rather than risking dispelling doubts inappropriately.

If you could kick the ass of the person responsible for almost all your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit down for a month. Theodore Roosevelt

This quote from Theodore Roosevelt suggests that many of the problems and obstacles we encounter in life are largely due to our own actions, decisions and behaviors. The phrase “if you could kick the person responsible” is a metaphor for taking responsibility for our personal problems.

In other words, Roosevelt encourages us to take responsibility for our own mistakes and choices instead of constantly blaming others or external circumstances for our problems. It reminds us that if we could attribute the cause of most of our difficulties to our own actions we ourselves would be the main culprits for those problems. Therefore, we should not seek to blame others but rather to improve ourselves and make smarter decisions to avoid these problems in the future.

In summary, this quote from Theodore Roosevelt encourages us to take responsibility for our lives and actions recognizing that most of our problems are the result of our own choices and behaviors. It highlights the importance of self-discipline, reflection and self-improvement to overcome obstacles and achieve success.
