Cita con el Español - Ep. 1

...
Как рано мог он лицемерить,
Таить надежду, ревновать,
Разуверять, заставить верить,
Казаться мрачным, изнывать,
Являться гордым и послушным,
Внимательным иль равнодушным!
Как томно был он молчалив,
Как пламенно красноречив,
В сердечных письмах как небрежен!
Одним дыша, одно любя,
Как он умел забыть себя!
Как взор его был быстр и нежен,
Стыдлив и дерзок, а порой
Блистал послушною слезой!

Как он умел казаться новым,
Шутя невинность изумлять,
Пугать отчаяньем готовым,
Приятной лестью забавлять,
Ловить минуту умиленья,
Невинных лет предубежденья
Умом и страстью побеждать,
Невольной ласки ожидать,
Молить и требовать признанья,
Подслушать сердца первый звук,
Преследовать любовь, и вдруг
Добиться тайного свиданья...
И после ей наедине
Давать уроки в тишине!

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.

71 – El museo del ferrocarril con mi tío

Every billionaire in the world who is under the age of 30 has inherited their wealth, according to new research by Forbes magazine.

Forbes recently published its World's Billionaires List. And all 15 people on the list who are aged 30 or younger did nothing to create their wealth — they simply received it.

According to Forbes this is the first time since 2009 there have been no self-made billionaires aged under 30. And the magazine says it's a sign that a "great wealth transfer" has begun from aging billionaires to the younger members of their families.

The youngest billionaire on the list is 19-year-old Livia Voigt of Brazil. She is worth $1.1 billion thanks to her late grandfather, who founded the electrical equipment company WEG Industries.

The richest of the young billionaires are the Mistry brothers, Firoz, 27, and Zahan, 25. They are each worth $4.9 billion thanks to their shares in the multi-industry Indian company Tata Sons. They inherited their wealth from their father, who died in a car crash in 2022.

Among the 25 youngest billionaires on the list — who are all aged 33 or younger — a few in their early 30s are self-made. However, just one of those self-made billionaires is new: 33-year-old Shunsaku Sagami of Japan. Sagami is the founder of M&A Research Institute, and is worth $1.6 billion.

One self-made billionaire who is still fairly young at 34 is Taylor Swift, who is worth $1.1 billion. In 2023, she became the first musician to become a billionaire mainly from the money she makes from her music.
