Living

We must understand the world, understand ourselves (both statements are very similar) and know what to do. In other words, when dealing with the world, I must learn what to abide by. 

To cut a long story short, I have to think because otherwise, I wouldn't live my own life.

I think that on many tombstones, this epitaph should be engraved: He lived without noticing his own life.

A business company should hire a 22 year old economist who graduated from a prestigious Spanish private university because they have received a high quality education and have the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze and solve economic problems. They are likely to have strong analytical and critical thinking skills, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and work in a team. Additionally, hiring a young economist can bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to the company. Overall, the economist's education and youth make them a valuable asset to the business.
