The richest man in Babylon

What i learn reading that book?

  Act wisely and discerningly when dealing with finances.

Venture wisely.

Financial success comes from prudence and action.

Evaluate the risks carefully.

Seek adequate knowledge to act.

If you're having doubts about business, look for an entrepreneur. If you have doubts about investments and finance, look for an investor. If you want to learn something, look for someone who already lives and has experience in it.

Communication

A lot of people think communication is just about talking to be heard, and that's it. But that's not true. Communication is more than just talking; there are other aspects that help the speaker convey their message and the listener's understanding.

The speaker needs to be clear in their speech and pay attention to their audience. After all, communication also involves receiving feedback from those who are listening.

The language used during a conversation depends on the individuals you're speaking to and the environment you're in. Your body language and behavior should also adapt to the situation, along with your facial expressions and tone of voice.

It's not solely the responsibility of the speaker; communication also relies on the listeners. If the receiver is difficult and closed off to the conversation, it's impossible to have a productive interaction.

Communication is all about the exchange of information, ideas, and meanings between people. It's an interactive process that requires attention, active listening, interpretation, and adaptation to ensure effective communication.

I will discuss some elements and communication skills in my upcoming posts.

xoxo.

What is Ikigai?

Ikigai it’s a japanese concept that means “reason of being” or “reason to live”. 

It’s an idea that each person has a unique combination of passions, skills, purpose and values that serves as a guide to find meaning in your life and experience a sense of accomplishment and happiness. 

The Ikigai can help people to discover their calling and purpose in life, especially when it comes to work.

Imagine finding something that you love, that you're good at doing, that the world needs, and that people are willing to pay for it.

That's what Ikigai can help you find.

The concept is about finding a harmonious balance between work, leisure and personal life, which can lead to a state of fulfillment and happiness.

Finding your Ikigai can help you achieve a full and meaningful life.

Finding your Ikigai can help you achieve a full and meaningful life.

Stop picking your skin. It never really helps anyways.

Wash your hands more often.

Buy a silk pillowcase. Also great for your hair!

Use SPF daily. No excuses here.

Don't touch your face too much.

Wash your makeup brushes. At least once a week, come ooon!

Don't over-exfoliate your skin.

Find out what your skin type is.
