I have been asked several times what should we do to be successful and make it in life. Confusing question isn’t it? Why confusing you may ask? I have always been put in the difficult situation of finding an answer. I do not know if my answer was right or not. I believe my perception […]
A new global crisis was needed to force education, including adult education, to recognize its limitations. A quick adaptation to the new situation is not only necessary, but this time is mandatory. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, has increased the pace of change, with distance education putting an even higher demand on communication skills. The […]
We all wonder what the impact of this COVID-19 pandemic will be on businesses, and the economy in general. Fewer, however, are thinking about what are the steps they should take to get through this period. Lately, there has been a surge of pessimists, but fortunately more optimists, who understood that while the world stopped […]
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. (Benjamin Franklin) We live in an extremely competitive environment where learning is more dynamic than ever, and lifelong learning has a special role in entrepreneurial success, employee motivation, and performance.

I don’t think there is a government in this world that does not declare that Education is a priority objective on its agenda. But as much I think this remains only declarative stage for many of these governments. I didn’t propose to analyze the reasons why governments do not do what they said. However, I will […]

Technology is, in fact, the one that determines how we approach the security of information in order to manage security threats.
