¡Nueva edición sobre viajes! ¡Me encanta este tema!

4 cosas que hacemos todos o casi todos cuando viajamos. ¿Te imaginas cuales pueden ser?

La última vez que fuiste a Italia, ¿te sacaste una foto con la torre de Pisa imitando su posición?

¿Compraste regalos o souvenirs para otras personas en tu último viaje?

¡Hablemos de viajes, parte VII !

The world's a tapestry, a woven web,
Of threads unseen, where cultures ebb and flow.
A global mind, a bridge it seeks to be,
To span the gaps where differences may grow.

From bustling streets to mountain peaks so high,
Each land a song, a tale beneath the sky.
Respectful ears, to hear the stories told,
Of customs old, in traditions bold.

No single beat sets all the hearts alight,
The rhythm shifts, with shades of dark and bright.
A global mind, it dances to the sound,
Embraces all, on common ground it's found.

Beyond the words, a silent language speaks,
In smiles and nods, the meaning truth it seeks.
A global heart, with empathy takes hold,
In shared humanity, a story to unfold.

So let us break the walls that hold us tight,
With open minds, we greet the morning light.
For in this world, so vast and ever wide,
A global mind, in unity confides.

A Global Mindset Poem - EP 22

"If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be, and why?"

This may be your idea of a nightmare interview question — and yes, employers really use it.

Your answer won't reveal anything about your ability to, say, use Microsoft Excel or drive a forklift truck. But it may tell your potential boss something about your "soft skills."

It's been said that hard skills will get you an interview, but soft skills will get you a job.

Hard skills are things you might learn at university, like how to write computer code or speak French.

Soft skills are the things you might not be able to prove with a qualification, but that will help you succeed in the workplace.

These could include being good at things like problem-solving, time management, and communicating with others or understanding how they feel — even being a good listener.

Employers say soft skills are more important than ever as the world adapts to remote and hybrid working patterns, because being able to communicate clearly and adapt to new situations is even more vital to success.

Some have called soft skills innate. But can we learn them or at least improve them?

"Yes," says jobs website Indeed.

It says the keys are to communicate regularly with the people on your team, be open to feedback, and pay attention to the way others overcome challenges including how they interact with people to do so.

Indeed also says it's important to simply get to work on time. This will help with time management, and also helps you achieve your goals and stand out from your colleagues.

Amanda Vickers, CEO of training company Speak First, told The Guardian that it's also important to try to understand what other people's needs and motives might be. This will help you adapt and work successfully with different people.

So, which ice cream flavor are you?

Well, the flavor isn't important but your answer could demonstrate soft skills such as creativity, quick thinking and even self-awareness.

Just don't choose vanilla.
