Eventually, I would like to teach something related to my career, so a few months ago I took a part-time job as an English teacher at a university in Puebla, as a way of practice and to help me loose my fear of public speaking. I feel much more comfortable now in many aspects of my life, however, sometimes I feel like I'm not doing my best. When my students get good grades, I feel like I'm being too easy on them and I'm going to get fired for it, and if they get bad grades I feel guilty and try to help them with extra credits or tutoring, which takes up a lot of extra time I don't really have. I know that it's only been a few months and I'm still getting the hang of it, but it's really hard for me to acknowledge that when I'm feeling down, so I think that in this aspect of my life, the self-compassion inner voice really needs to start speaking up. This is why I chose this image and to keep that in mind could really improve my teaching abilities.

I can even do a full market research or brand research online without having to visit the company personally, like I used to, and if I need professional photos for the graphics I could, again, use a freelancer site to hire a local photographer and have him send the pictures to me. It’s so easy I don’t even work at an agency anymore, I just site in my pajamas at my house and work from there. Same money, no h

How will messaging change customer service...

With a combination of interfaces and artificial intelligence, brands can scale relevant, personal, and helpful interactions with their customers. Messaging allows continuous conversations between customer and brand, unlike email, that you only check now and then and it's more impersonal. An email often dies in your inbox, but conversations on messaging apps are more likely to allow ongoing dialog. This difference makes follow-up conversation easier and more natural, increasing the opportunities to cross-sell, share and engage. Also, from these messaging apps, unlike email accounts, you get your customer's full profile at hand, which allows you to offer him relevant choices and really address their needs.
