About

„If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.“ Henry Ford At the end everything will be OK, if it‘s not OK, it‘s not the end! Don‘t find fault, find remedy. Henry Ford. Have the courage to follow heart and intuition. Steve Jobbs. Action expresses priorities. Mahatma Gandhi. “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.” Steve Jobbs Beeing positive is not naive, it‘s leadership. Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Henry Ford Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved. Mahatma Gandhi The two most important things in any company do not appear in its balance sheet: its reputation and its people. Henry Ford
