“I see only one reason: curiosity. For as long as I can remember, what motivated me in my professional life has always been my curiosity and desire to learn more. This applies to other professions that I have had. I was a teacher once because I wanted to speak better in public. I was a flight attendant because I was scared of flying. I was a trainer because I wanted to learn more about leadership. I was a computer programmer because I had no understanding of computing. I took an MBA in Management because I wanted to know how to run a company holistically and for consistency, PaoemCasa is a way to learn more about the online world. I believe that life is a constant learning process and I’ve never wasted any opportunity in this regard. I like to embrace something I don’t know. I ask questions when I don’t know something. If I have any success in my career, I owe it to one thing. Perhaps this is even my personal secret. I’ve always managed to be surrounded by talented people who knew more about something than me. There’s a saying that “No one is so poor that they don’t have something to give, and no one is so rich that they don’t have something to receive”. I translate it this way: “No one is so confined that they have nothing to teach, and no one is so wise that they have nothing to learn”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
