Abstract
Family life helps us to be happy, but the concept of success is still related to something external and visible. This is why we continue to talk about ‘careers’ instead of ‘professional trajectories’ or ‘life trajectories’, a concept that views life as a whole where people are developed in different areas.
‘Love is the active concern for life and the growth of what we love.’
Erich Fromm
‘Virtue is philosophy in action.’
Pythagoras
