Quotes
Almost all of us agree that the “spoonful of prevention” costs “treatment plates”, but we do not always act in accordance with this simple truth. Interacting with society, we teach ourselves again after time to choose a “plate of treatment”. Quick and effective treatment. We rejoice in reaction, cure, salvation. But we are capable of more: we must not so much fight what has already happened, but to prevent unpleasant incidents. We need a new generation of heroes, calmly, without unnecessary noise, improving the world, which no longer needs rescuers. How many difficulties do we have to overcome only because we forgot about the opportunity to cope with them once and for all?
For whom
For leaders of companies, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, people with an active life position.
