A PhD on the Road (Closing Remarks) from nunocruz on Vimeo.

A PhD ON THE ROAD User´s manual

The PhD on the road adventure started in November 2008 and finished in August 2010 and tells the epic event of writing an Engineering PhD while going around the world. The global adventure should be red/seen as the reading of a romance, not all at once. Each post combines text, photos (sometimes small videos), played along with music (in diaporamas) with the respective lyrics being part of the story. Within the whole story, there are small histories that be recognized by the basic title of the movies (movies with the same basic title are chapters of a same small history). The following histories can be found within the whole adventure, apart from some technical and/or isolated movies:

1 - Tuareg (Morocco)

2 - On the Track of Livingstone (Mozambique)

COMBINARTE

My strongest believe is based upon COMBINING.

Combine...
the Olive oil and Water, the Heaven and the Hell,
Art and Science, and Format and Chaos
the Inteligent and the limited, the "Cool" and the agressive,
the Family man and the Adventurer, the domestic and the nigth watcher.
And so the Weak becomes Strong when the Strong Weak becomes.
Imagine Michael Schumacher driving a donkey. What wouldn´t the donkey gain, and how much higher Schumacher would have gone?

A minha maior convicção reside no valor de COMBINAR. Combinar... o Azeite com a Água, a Bondade com a Malícia, a Arte com a Ciência, o Formato com o Caos o Inteligente com o Limitado, o Sereno com o Agressivo, o Chefe de família com o Aventureiro, a Mulher a dias com o Guarda Nocturno. E assim o Fraco torna-se Forte quando o Forte Fraco se torna. Experimentem. E verifiquem os excelentes resultados, sobretudo pelo enorme estimulo à Imaginação e Criatividade. Imaginem o Michael Schumacher a conduzir um burro. O que não ganharia o burro, e quão mais não ganharia o Schumacher.
