Show me a good loser
I've been finding on LinkedIn interesting stories about people. Not just the new job titles, nor the new account businesses or new launchings.

The art of overreacting
Whaaaaat?!!! Yes, I'm one of those annoying people adding lots of vowels and exclamations marks at the end of the words to add some emotion to it. Even when I talk, my eyes and arms recreate the scene. It's all about making a big issue of everything. Blame all the soap operas that I watched when … Continue reading The art of overreacting
