    Hello Everybody, I'm going to talk about my favorite and my least favorite subject at school:

    My favorite subject at school was History I really loved how the teacher told the stories it wasn't just another subject It was time to imagine and enjoy about the incredible story of the world my favorite stories was the world's wars, Colombian history, Cold War, the first civilizations and more sometimes I think the truth really is stranger than fiction, and It's so important to know it and then never forget it and trying to not repeat it again.

    My Least favorite subject at school was 'religion' I studied at a religious school and I understand if my parents and I are agreed with this school we have to accept the rules, but sometimes I felt that it was not inclusive with others, I had some classmates who believe in another religions or just was atheist, of course they had different opinions and tried to explain it but the nuns were so strict and banned it.

    Hi to everyone.

    When I was in school, I used to like arts, but Math, especially geometry, was definitely my favorite subject not just because I was good at them in fact I used to struggle with them at first, but what I really loved is the focus and attention that I paid when solving problems. I remember having troubles with Language, especially Spanish grammar, It looked boring and kind of confusing to me because of all the tenses and structures, It was sort of hard to me that I have to retake the subject in summer.

    Descriptive geometry was my favorite subject when I was at technical institute, one of my best memories at that time is when the most strict a feared senior lecturer acknowledged my effort and give a little speech of how I was the first student that got the highest grade in all his teaching time, and It was on descriptive geometry of course. I didn't dislike any subject back then.

    Thanks for reading.

    Back in my school period, I was a very good student, sometimes a little lazy, but when I pushed myself into being better at school and understand the subjects, I have proven myself that I have the power to do it. My favorite subject at school was music, cause I love it since I was a little child, I always dreamed of playing the guitar and at school 90% of what I've learned was by myself with Youtube videos, I love all the musical instruments. My least favorite subject at school was biology, I didn't understand most of the things we learned, cause I really hated at that moment the way my teacher used to teach us the subject. Currently I am not in a University.

    Hi there!

    When I started to study (I was 3 and my mom sent me to kindergarden because I was a hurricane hahaha) and from this point until I was 15 I studied a lot. I used to belong to the best top 5 students of my generation but after I was 15 I wasn't interested at school.

    Nevertheless I loved some subjects because it made growing up my personality and my likes (and curiously these subjects aren't part of my actual profesion). Some of then are music, biology, maths (this one always was present), letters and chemistry.

    I loved a lot chemistry. To be specific, I loved organic chemistry and I worked with special effort learning balancing equations and molecular compositions. When I was at university, I had again chemistry classes and I started to believe the career was chose was wrong because I could feel the same love I felt years ago about chemistry (hahaha).

    On the other hand, the subject that liked me the least was english. Nobody in my family or my enviroment knew about it and I didn't understand at all when teachers tried to teach me. And here I am, trying to correct my past desitions.

    Greetings!

    Intermediate: In school I remember that I hated chemistry I never learned the chemistry table 😅. On the other hand, I loved computing, I remember that I was always trying to help my partners with their work in Illustrator, Excel or whatever topic. I don't remember many of those moments, but I made some friends that I still hang out with and that's what I appreciate the most about school

    Speaking of University, my favorite subject was database, logistics, marketing and also accounting, now I realize that almost all the subjects I liked 🤣 but there was one (I can't remember the name) that I never liked, I think because of the teacher, she always want us to do weird things like sing, dance or anything that is not related to the topic. Be that as it may, I learned a lot at the University and also made many good friends (including teachers) that I still have to this day.

    Advanced: I think the most important point is that if you only focus on big clients and they leave, you lose a really important part of your business and then it is very difficult to bring them back or get another big client, becouse of the higher demands they usually have. But if you have a lot of small clients and one or two leave, it doesn't really affect your business and it's also easier to bring them back or find others. I think you can combine those two methods and have a diversified portfolio with both big and small clients.

    3️⃣Advanced . According to you, why working with the biggest client is not always the best choice?

    Here are some cons about large clients:

    • The project management may be more complicated.

    • All the processes could be delayed because the person you are discussing the project with may not have the authority to have the final say, and they may have to relay the information above them and wait for approval. So, this takes a lot of time.

    • On the other hand, small clients tend to be more flexible. And you are able to contact the manager or owner directly.

    • Not always large clients appreciate your work, because as the client is paying more money, they may expect more from the company.

    • By working with large clients, If one or two big accounts will suddenly pull out, they are going to leave a huge hole in your budget. You need to protect your business from that possibility and be prepared for that. And find another big client won't be easy.

    • With the pressure of a big project, stress levels in the office may be higher. The company, in general, could make a lot of mistakes with this.

    • If it’s a big project and the company doesn’t have the capacity to do all the work, there may be a need to hire subcontractors.

    Of course, not everything is bad, but if you are thinking of working with large clients, I consider that you need to know all the cons that this could bring.
