  Chapter 7: Words of Iron By  Sergio Cano  | Bitacorastudios - La vida real profesiones Summer did not wait. In the blink of an eye, the fruits of spring were nourished by a copious rain. In an almost poetic way, June took it upon itself to return, all at once, all the water that the rest of the year had withheld, unleashing a storm that imbued the city with an atmosphere worthy of a gothic suspense novel. That afternoon, Mateo returned from work soaked from head to toe, but wearing a smile that contrasted with the gray tone of the city. From a distance, one could perceive how that smile radiated a vivid yellow around him, infecting anyone who crossed the young man's path. "Good afternoon!" he would say upon crossing paths with any stranger, and with each person he encountered, that smile grew larger. He felt such happiness in his "gut" that he couldn't contain it; it was as if it overflowed on its own. A few hours earlier, upon arriving at work at 6:00 a.m...

  A Chapter Compilation | By Sergio Cano | Bitacorastudios  - La vida real profesiones  Welcome to the roadmap of a transformative journey. I have created this article to serve as a central hub where I will be adding every chapter as it is published, ensuring you can follow Don Elias’s story at your own pace. This book stems from a deep conviction: leadership is not just corporate jargon or cold principles; it is a set of values lived and carried in the soul.

  Chapter 4: The Center of the Storm By  Sergio Cano  | Bitacorastudios - La vida real profesiones The warm March breeze felt like a caress on the soul under the shelter of spring. For Elias, it was a gift; he felt it not only warmed his aching bones but somehow awakened his body and emotions from a long lethargy. Like a bear ending its hibernation, Elias rose from bed, stretching every fiber of his being, feeling the warmth travel through his aging shell. He stood before the thin ray of sunlight streaming through the crack in his window and enjoyed it as a true gift from the gods. For a few seconds, time stood still; for him, only that tiny fragment of light existed. He set aside his worries and focused on admiring the greatness hidden in smallness, reminding himself that the true value of things lies not in their size, but in their essence, their potential, and above all, in how they are perceived by those who witness their existence. That ray represented the hope of a ...

I remember a time when que I found myself completely overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. It was then that I discovered the philosophy of Stoicism and its focus on virtue and wisdom. I realized that I could apply Stoic principles in my daily life to better manage challenges and emotions. What is Stoicism? The term "Stoic" refers to a school of philosophical thought that originated in ancient Greece and was developed in Rome. Stoicism is a current that seeks virtue and wisdom through reason and self-discipline. In simpler terms, being Stoic means learning to manage feelings and make decisions based on reason and one's own virtues, such as wisdom, justice, fortitude, and temperance. An Example of Applying Stoicism Imagine someone insults you in public. Even if you're Stoic, you'll feel anger or annoyance. However, instead of reacting impulsively, you'll take a moment to reflect on the situation, evaluate whether it's worth responding, and then decide whether t...
