I encourage them not to be conformists, but to be better day by day, to pursue projects and goals with passion, to have self-confidence, to take and face risks, to open their minds to accept and overcome the difficulties of tomorrow. In addition to the above, I have sought to develop my skills to be an empathetic person, to put myself in the shoes of those who seek my support, with the aim of understanding their emotions, thoughts and, in general, all the feelings they may have so that the support I offer them is total. This has led me to create a slogan that guides the knowledge I offer: \"Describe yourself, reinvent yourself, be happy! I am the result of my decisions, not my circumstances. I am confident that I will achieve the goals I have set for myself and continue to successfully help many more people on this journey called life. 154 hoinser media group
