A Study Indicates The Conqueror Is More Legitimate To Talk About Entrepreneurship Than The Millionaire Founder Of Tesla

Three in four Spaniards believe that our historical figures are undervalued in our country and four in five oppose the elimination of Columbus and Isabella the Catholic from the baccalaureate, according to the Master Talks study published this Monday in Madrid. presented.

Aiming to claim its weight in history, the Comillas Pontifical University of Madrid has hosted the ‘Master Talks’, inspiring lectures with Christopher Columbus, Isabella the Catholic and Lope de Vega, on disciplines such as entrepreneurship, leadership and self-confidence. Three of the topics of most interest to society and about which hundreds of lectures can be found on the internet. “However, judging by their actions, the greatest experts of all time in these matters lived more than five centuries ago and are called Columbus, Isabel and Lope,” say the two in charge of the study, Atrápalo and Puy du park Fou Spain. .

As the Master Talks Study concludes, 8 out of 10 Spaniards think Christopher Columbus is more legitimate to talk about entrepreneurship than Elon Musk himself, but 3 out of 4 continue to recognize that we don’t value our historical figures enough compared to other countries.

Master Talks conversations were born with the aim of promoting the pride in our characters and appreciating their exploits, taking into account the historical context in which they lived. For this reason, it was decided to bring together the team of historians from the Puy du Fou Park in Toledo to try to recreate what would happen if we brought the real Columbus, Isabel and Lope back to the present and put them on would set up a stage to give inspiring lectures.

In his speech, Colón urges us to stop looking outside for the inspirations we have in our own history and ends with an interesting reflection: «Every century has the heroes it deserves, who are yours?».

Isabel la Católica, for her part, explains how, contrary to popular belief, she did not inherit the kingdom of Castile, but had to wage a war to gain access to the throne. As she herself says: ‘sometimes we are struck by the very fact that we are women.’ She even goes so far as to explain the anecdote of when she led her army while pregnant, or how she made it clear to her husband, Fernando II of Aragon, at the beginning of their relationship, that she reigned in Castile.

And finally, Lope de Vega, with the mocking tone that characterizes his work, speaks of self-confidence: «I am Lope de Vega, poet and genius. They say ‘Monster of Nature’ and ‘Phoenix of Ingenuity’ about me… I would say: unparalleled genius…».

Atrápalo and the Puy du Fou España Park have decided to bring these three historical figures together following the conclusions drawn from the Master Talks Study, which analyzed Spaniards’ knowledge of the most relevant figures from our history, and where it is concluded that the majority of Spaniards do not appreciate it (77%) and we do not know our historical figures enough (88%).

In the words of Erwan de la Villéon, CEO of Puy du Fou Spain, «heroes don’t die and they have their home in Puy du Fou. With this promotion we want to continue to give them the projection they deserve outside the park. In fact, we have a very powerful initiative in mind: to create a chair on the rehabilitation of historical figures. Once we have seen one of the motivational conversations in the imagination of young people, there is room for Colón or Lope, then we have won the battle. We even plan to make the talks physical from September.
