But remember: charisma isn’t about talking more, it’s about adding value. It’s not about being the smartest, but about being the most useful. The more people who recognize the value you bring, the stronger your growth will be.

Do you know that feeling you get when you go to a museum and see a painting you've never seen before, and your first reaction is: 'I don't like it'? Well, it's not that you don't like it — it's that you don't understand it. You don't know it, so you can't truly appreciate it. It's impossible.In the same way, you can't fully understand the world without knowing a bit of classical culture. The Greeks and Romans built their world around gods they believed in, and throughout human history, we've constantly referenced those gods. Without that context, a lot of what we see and experience today loses its deeper meaning. Comunicador y humorista español.
