A web developer may work with technology, but working with people is also an important feature for this professional profiles. Did you know that “teamwork” is in the TOP 5 of the most valued soft skills? And that in 2020 it will be even more relevant than it is today? The Future Work Skills 2020 study establishes that “quality management, teamwork skills and the ability to adapt to new technologies” will be the skills most valued in 2020 by companies.
Do you work well in a team? Do you like it? In the workplace, the so-called “hard skills” can be learned (for example, a new program to develop your work, or a specific methodology), while soft skills (personal attributes that help people to interact effectively with others) are more difficult to learn, but not impossible. Therefore, learning to work in a team is essential in multidisciplinary and transversal work environments where many departments or profiles come into play. An example of this environment would be the one any web developer works in. In addition, teamwork promotes happiness in your position and thus avoids a bad work environment and its disastrous consequences. Did you know that feeling happy at work as well as increasing personal satisfaction, self-esteem and productivity, favours creativity and interest in innovation? We spend a third of each day working (imagine what it means in a lifetime), don’t you think being happy at work and transferring that happiness to all the people around can only help?
What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that man set foot on the Moon but that they set eye on the earth.
A Chinese tale tells of some men sent to harm a young girl who, upon seeing her beauty, become her protectors rather than her violators. That's how I felt seeing the Earth for the first time. I could not help but love and cherish her.
For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.
The Final Frontier
There can be no thought of finishing for ‘aiming for the stars.’ Both figuratively and literally, it is a task to occupy the generations. And no matter how much progress one makes, there is always the thrill of just beginning.

The dreams of yesterday are the hopes of today and the reality of tomorrow. Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next ten.
Spaceflights cannot be stopped. This is not the work of any one man or even a group of men. It is a historical process which mankind is carrying out in accordance with the natural laws of human development.
Reaching for the Stars
As we got further and further away, it [the Earth] diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man.
