José Mujica's viral reflection that is a life lesson: "It is always worth it"

The historic president of Uruguay, José Mujicahe died this Tuesday at 89 years old after not being able to overcome a esophagus cancer that he suffered and that he had been extending for his body for months. Last January he announced that I did not want to continue with the treatment and asked to let him die calmly.

Mujica has been a Historic Leader of the Left in Latin America and is recognized as one of the most important politicians in recent history. He was president of Uruguay between 2010 and 2015.

For the story there have been many of their reflections, some of them viralized in social networks in recent years, such as the latter in which he talks about fighting.

“You can fall and get up again. It is always worth starting over once and a thousand times while one is alive. That is the biggest message in life (…) Defeated are those who stop fighting, and stop fighting is stop dreaming “you can hear you say in an excerpt from an interview.
