What the giraffe perceives as a bullseye is actually the woman’s hat from its high angle. From another person’s point of view, it’s just a woman posing. Neither view is wrong—each is simply shaped by perspective. - People often disagree not because one is right and the other is wrong, but because they see the same situation from different angles. - Understanding others’ viewpoints can help reduce conflict and build empathy.

I used to think technical skills would build my career. Turns out, I was wrong. In the early years of my IT journey, I poured everything into technical mastery. Every new certification, every late night fixing bugs, every tool I could learn, I chased them all. I believed that the smarter I got technically, the faster I’d grow. But reality hit me hard. I watched colleagues with fewer technical skills climb faster. They were leading projects, getting visibility, and building influence, while I was still the “go-to executor.” It took me years to understand: your career isn’t built on technical skills alone. The turning point? When I realized that how you communicate often matters more than what you know. Because in the corporate world: → A great idea means nothing if you can’t explain it clearly. → Hard work stays invisible if you can’t advocate for yourself. → And technical skills may get you in the room, but communication decides whether people listen. That realization changed everything for me. I stopped focusing only on sharpening my code and started sharpening my voice. And that’s when opportunities opened up. Technical skills are your foundation. But communication is the bridge that carries your career forward. What’s one communication skill you wish you had mastered earlier in your career?
