Carlos Cuauht\u00e9moc S\u00e1nchez Gives a Conference at the XIV International Book Fair <\/STRONG>
Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, 05\/15\/2011<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

T<\/SPAN>he Board of Directors of the International Book Fair introduced Mexican writer Carlos Cuauht\u00e9moc S\u00e1nchez, one of the most widely read and sold writers in Latin America, who gave the Master Class \u201cThe Human Condition at the Current Crossroads. Challenges and Possibilities.\u201d<\/EM><\/P>
\n

He said that to be certain that big things will occur, we need to do things differently and to change our ways of thinking. He stressed the need to renew and keep up our knowledge at the risk of it becoming obsolete.  <\/P>
\n


During his conference at the Carlos Piantini Hall of the Eduardo Brito National Theater, Cuauht\u00e9moc S\u00e1nchez spoke about the need for change, to bear fruit and to exercise the mind. <\/P>
\n

Speaking to an audience of mostly young people, the skilled writer and international lecturer said that as human beings who need to confront future challenges in this age of change, one must be different. \u201cIf we don\u2019t change, if we are not prepared to be better and to do things differently, then we will not be able to rise to the challenge that awaits us in the near future.\u201d<\/P>
\n

He said that to be certain that big things will occur, we need to do things differently and to change our ways of thinking. He stressed the need to renew and keep up our knowledge at the risk of it becoming obsolete.  <\/P>
\n

Among the anecdotes and stories told by Cuauht\u00e9moc S\u00e1nchez, who wrote \u201cVolando sobre el pantano\u201d (Flying Over the Swamp), he eiterated that the only way of confronting challenges these days is making change, from the inside out. \u201cAnd you know what we do is we change from the outside to the inside, we make ourselves up, we want to look good, get plastic surgery but the only real change should come from within.\u201d  <\/P>
\n

He said that nothing a human being does on the outside can make him or her more attractive if they don\u2019t learn that everything in life is a process of actions and thoughts \u201cwhat is it that we have always wanted, I ask you\u2026money, blue eyes, health, to be thin, prestige? What is it that you need to have total self-confidence? Think about what you actually do have and act accordingly.\u201d<\/P>
\n

He called on the audience to think big and to work hard to achieve the goals they\u2019ve set and to have confidence in themselves.  He talked about the importance of serving others, \u201cbeing able to serve others gives meaning to our lives. In reality, we humans are created to bear fruit and if you don\u2019t bear fruit, you dry up.\u201d
Executive Director of the Book Fair, Pedro Antonio Valdez, introduced Cuauht\u00e9moc S\u00e1nchez\u2019s conference. Mr. Valdez praised the Ministry of Culture for making it possible to bring so many great writers to the Book Fair to meet with their Dominican readers.
