The Unexpected Opportunity Cost: Chapter Index & Guide to Don Elias’s Journey

-

 

A Chapter Compilation | By Sergio Cano | Bitacorastudios - La vida real profesiones 

Welcome to the roadmap of a transformative journey. I have created this article to serve as a central hub where I will be adding every chapter as it is published, ensuring you can follow Don Elias’s story at your own pace.

This book stems from a deep conviction: leadership is not just corporate jargon or cold principles; it is a set of values lived and carried in the soul. Through Don Elias—a human mentor who gathered wisdom from his own mistakes—and his encounter with a young man in a park, we explore leadership rooted in a love for life and a level of mindfulness rarely seen before.

My dream is for this story to become a reference for those seeking to lead with authenticity. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

Capítulo 1: El Banco de la Paz Por   Sergio Cano  | Bitacorastudios - La vida real profesiones  Don Elías no fallaba a su cita de las 4 PM con el " Banco de la Paz ", el nombre cariñoso que le había dado a su banca favorita en el Parque Central. Era simplemente el lugar perfecto para disfrutar de un buen libro y respirar aire puro, al tiempo que disfrutaba viendo pasar la tarde, justo antes del ocaso. Durante ese tiempo, la banca de madera gastada se convertía en su refugio, un mirador tranquilo desde donde observaba el ir y venir frenético de la ciudad, y que le permitía desconectarse de la rutina diaria de su hogar. Para Don Elías, la lectura era un medio fantástico para la reflexión, los viajes y el crecimiento personal. Un libro era más que simple papel; representaba la oportunidad de vivir muchas vidas, donde no importaban los achaques de la edad y donde siempre había un mundo de posibilidades, incluso en su avanzada edad. Desde que comenzó sus viajes de lectura a su...
