Building a better working world
“It is of paramount importance to take a broad view and make sure you are not focusing only on immediate payoffs, not only in business but in all areas of life. If you do this, you will be able to take a more flexible approach, your ideas will be better, you will be more analytical, and it will be easy to gain new values. I am open to various opinions, striving to be someone others trust, and always considering the greater good.”
