If today we can draw on ancient knowledge, if we can write and communicate in many different languages, we owe it to those who came before us. Revolutionary achievements, the majesty of the pyramids, the irreversibility and irrefutability of certain theorems and laws of nature, are the legacy of their investigations. We enjoy them today, but we must keep in mind the idea of continuity and the perpetuation of this way of life. That's what it means to lead a life motivated by the Essential. In the primal chaos and savagery of remote eras, they built kingdoms, conquered territories and accomplished feats without technology being what it is today.

Instead of honouring their memories and saluting their bravery, we are corrupted by our distractions and our blatant lack of responsibility. Our ancestors laid down the furrows on which we walk today, and the cobblestones on which we set foot today.But what will remain after us?If we don't care about what will remain after us, then we have failed in an important responsibility of our existence: that of eternity.We are eternal beings, we only experience our humanity, and we have a noble duty to leave indelible, immortal traces in this fleeting existence.

It was with this inflexible verve that A21 Chairman Dr Raoul Ruben introduced the inaugural Momentum Training of his 2024 world tour, which began in Libreville, Gabon. Asking the right questions allows us to assume our responsibility and our humanity called to actively and intentionally contribute to the growth of each of our communities. Through inspired action, we must do all we can to ensure that the maxim of our actions becomes a universal rule. Let us draw inspiration from what has gone before us, and together build a better future for our nations. This was the starting point for a transformational event that leaves no one indifferent.
