“The uncertainty in which we are immersed, our precariousness, suspended over the abyss of what we don’t know does not make life senseless: it makes it precious”
C. Rovelli
TO DO or NOT TO DO?
How to transform the challenge of the unknown into an opportunity for personal growth
Uncertainty pushes us to ask ourselves questions about the present, the past, the future. It is unpleasant, as Voltaire said it is nasty, because it forces us to wander in a universe that is too large and poorly defined; certainty, on the contrary, even though it does not exist, reassures us. But it is uncertainty that leads us, together with curiosity, to explore new paths, to observe the world with new eyes and detached from old patterns and cultural legacies.
The key to unlocking these opportunities is a healthy culture of error and knowing how to recognize mistakes as part of the personal and professional growth path, learning not to consider failure as a defeat, but as a starting point.
Through the 8th edition of the “My Place in the World 2023” festival, the Museum of Saving, the Foundation Teatro Donizetti and the Gran Theatre of Brescia offer high school students the testimony of those who have made of uncertainty and curiosity an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
The journey of life fascinates us because the path that leads us to evolve and discover our place in the world is, and will remain, uncertain.
