My name is Marcelo Viera DaSilva, and I am the founder of The Human Nature & Tomorrow's Society Institute. I have been a member of Strathmore's Who's Who for about three years. When I was first contacted by Strathmore's Who's Who I was a little leery and skeptical. To make a long story short, I didn't believe I was going to get anything out of this except my name in a book and a wall plaque. For the first year I did not do anything with it. One day a colleague of mine noticed my plaque on the wall and was amazed that I had been inducted into the publication. I couldn’t believe he knew who they were. About a month later I went online and started introducing myself to various people in the Education, Law, and Social Services industries. To my surprise other members were courteous, helpful and inspirational. I’ve made some really good friends, (including two mentors), a few business partners, and have become a business advisor to multiple companies. One important lesson I have learned from this is “never to judge a book by its cover,” (pun intended). (content syndicated http://www.strathmoreswhoswho.com)
