26. Without Practice,
No Emergence
To know and
To understand
are different.
Even though we know,
Without putting
that knowledge to practice,
we cannot understand.
Just reading
a description of
medicine’s good effects
Won’t cure an illness.
System
Zen
Design also is something we
cannot understand
until we put it to practice.

32. Dear UENP,
I appreciate your kind
hospitality while my short
stay in Bandeirantes.
Really a short stay, but it
turned out to be my life-
time memory.
I’ve never imagined to be
there with you when I
started creating Astah.
“Life is about the people you
meet, and the things you
create with them.”
Let’s create our next dream,
together.
Thank you, all, especially,
Prof.Carlos and Fabricio!
