Life is moving fast and time is relative to progress. Just a matter of goal timeframes. While you work towards your goals, just look into your financials because if you are not expending into your education, you are not growing, you are falling. Take advantage of free education, but also consider the event that require a fee. Sometimes you can network with people that will open the doors for you. La vida sigue y el tiempo es relativo al progreso. Question del tiempo para completar tus metas. Mientras trabajas en tus metas, recuerda mirar tus finanzas por que si no estas gastando en tu educación, no estas creciendo, estas cayendo. Toma ventaja de la educación gratuita pero también considera eventos con costo ya que puedes conectarte con personas que te abrirán las puertas.
