Abstract
The text described below was presented by the author, in reference to a farewell party offered to the students of Physiotherapy that have graduated this year from the “Universidad Europea de Madrid”.
In such lecture, the author spoke to the students on equal terms, meaning, someone close to them and not someone unreachable, as this was a very special and important day for them.
What surprised the students is the idea that everything that they can start doing, their projects and situation, which they will have to face, will mean something different for each of them.
The special meaning that the different situations that life can make us face, is the meaning of how each person perceives that particular situation. Thus, depending on the complexity of each human being, which we must not forget, each particular individual will have his or her own perception of the same situation.
