I liked working in a group. I felt like my group was a good fit, and we all worked together well. I liked that we got to just take a few slides and work alone, then regroup and discuss what we can change and bounce ideas off each other. I learned more about working together. I liked being able to communicate online and not having to sit right next to each other to talk. I feel like we could have communicated more before we had to present it. I felt like we could have spent a little more time working together, because at the end we just had to hurry and try to make it flow better than it was.
Passwords are used for everyday life on the internet. I learned about how to make your passwords stronger. People often use pet names, addresses, or birthdays. People are more likely to guess those. I didn't think about using a phrase or a quote that you like for a password. But those are more likely to be stronger and harder to guess. You shouldn't ever use the same password for more than one website, or email. It's like having one key for everything you own like said in the video. It's important to keep a record of your passwords but be smart about how you record them and where you keep them.
Guy Kawasaki has a 10 /20/30 rule. His 10/20/30 rule. He has miners disease, hearing loss, constant ringing in your ear, sometimes you may get dizzy.

Soft skills is having a good relationship with your client, customer trying to be on a more personal level. It has a lot to do with your social skills. Soft skills gap is like a group of people or a building of workers, and they have a few managers, but they don't have a boss, they don't have a real leader. Another example is you are really good at getting clients, or customers, but you can't keep them for long that would be a soft skill gap. I think its important to have soft skills because if you have good hard skills, you want to have good soft skills. You won't be able to run a good business or company if you can't help your clients, or patients. You may be good at getting them, but if you cant keep them then you will fail. Having good people skills is very important to have a successful career.
