As the saying goes:

"Coge consejo pa' que llegues a viejo" (Seek advice so that you may grow old).

In this 1-minute video, my grandmother, Carmen Carvajal, reflects on the value of time and patience while humming a fragment of the song 'Inolvidable' by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Tito Rodriguez.

This brief testimony is part of an interview conducted in 2023. The purpose of this work is not only to preserve a family connection over time but also to provide a broader commentary on the importance of knowledge and its transmission across generations. The idea is that through this small piece of advice, viewers can reflect on the significance of this virtue in their own lives.
