In this article you will find 10 Pepe Mujica quotes that will surely make you rethink how you are living your life and you will want to change.
I have always believed in the wisdom of old age. Regardless of whether I share the opinion of an older person, I understand that their point of view is based on much more knowledge than I possess; simply because they have seen more, have heard more, have tasted more… simply because they have lived more.
Pepe Mujica, the former Uruguayan president, is a leader and a benchmark different from the others. At the age of 76, he assumed the presidency of his country and with an inclusive, humble and innovative vision, he managed to lower unemployment levels, increase income and lower poverty rates.
His tenure was also accompanied by controversial decisions, such as the legalization of the sale, purchase and cultivation of marijuana under state supervision. And in general, like all politicians, he faced strong resistance from the opposition.
Mujica has been an example of struggle, since his participation in the guerrilla, his gunshot wounds, his 2 jailbreaks and his 15 years in prison, he has not stopped giving everything for his country.
Mujica sees Uruguay as an entrepreneur should see his company, that is why we bring you the best 10 encouraging phrases from Pepe Mujica that every entrepreneur should know:
10 phrases by Pepe Mujica that will encourage you to live better.
1. To live you have to work, right? And if you don’t work, you’re living from someone’s rib. And the life of a parasite is not dignified, but neither can you live for anything other than to work. As simple as that.
Because the most glorious thing you have is life. And that, which is so elementary, is the thing that we forget the most; but it makes us forget the culture, the environment and above all that dragging violence that the consumer society has and that it seems that if we are not on that train we are going to die.
two. Being free is (…) spending the greatest amount of time in our lives doing what we like to do.
3. I advocate a personal way of living soberly, because to live you have to have freedom and to have freedom you have to have time… So I am sober to have time, because when you buy with money you are not buying with money, you are buying with time of your life that you had to spend to have that money.
Four. Power doesn’t change people, it only reveals who they truly are.
5. The inevitable does not whine. The inevitable must be faced.
6. There are many young people and as a veteran, as an old man, I would like to give you a little advice: life can trick us, many blows, we can lose a thousand times, in work, in love, in social struggle. But always, if we search, if we have the strength to get up again and start over, the most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. It’s always, always dawn after the night has passed. Don’t forget guys and remember that the only ones who lose are those who stop fighting.
7. The average little man sometimes dreams of vacation and freedom. He always dreams of finishing the accounts, until one day his heart stops and goodbye.
8. It is worth living with intensity, and you can fall one, two, three, twenty times, but remember that you can get up and start over. (…) Defeated are those who stop fighting, dead are those who do not fight to live.
9. Living better is not just having more, it is being happier.
10. I don’t want you to agree, I ask you to think, nothing more.
We hope that regardless of your political inclination or if you like Pepe Mujica or not, you see the power of these phrases 🙂
