What is gratitude?
The gratitude is defined as a feeling of appreciation and appreciation for the actions that others do for us.
Although gratitude should not just be the response to a favor received from another person, something that we receive on time. Gratitude should become a habit to integrate into our daily life.

Seeing the positive side of each situation will make us enjoy all the opportunities that life offers us, even in difficult moments. Moments that, by facing them, we will learn and become a better version of ourselves.
To do this, we need to stop, look, and act. But very rarely can we stop our rhythm of life and see the opportunities. It is what we will have to work on: stop, look, and act. Even more so in the workplace.
