"Je crois que ce que nous devenons dépend de ce que nos pères nous enseignent à des moments insolites, quand ils ne cherchent pas à nous enseigner. Nous sommes formés par de petits bouts de sagesse."

Umberto Eco

Simplified Meaning:

We often learn important lessons from our parents without realizing it. These lessons happen during everyday moments when our parents share small pieces of advice or show us how to act through their own behavior. For example, you might learn the value of honesty by watching your father admit his mistakes. Or you might understand kindness because you see your father helping a neighbor. These small moments shape who we become, sometimes more than formal teaching. By paying attention to these little scraps of wisdom, we can grow and improve in ways we might not expect. Everyone can benefit from noticing these lessons in their own lives and using them to become better people.
