Holesovice district, 15 FebruaryLast week I spent three days at a motivation and communication skills training. I enjoyed that - not only because of the two trainers who were really good and experienced (an HR director of an automotive company employing some three thousand workers and one of Czech first headhunters) but also because of the other "students". Two of four were CEOs, one CEO-2 level manager from a large Czech bank. Experience in the air. We, of course, discussed the current economic downturn. Somehow our discussions turned to war several times. Strange feeling - usually big things start as small ones. Hopefully this is not the case.
Petr Koubsky, one of my favourite bloggers, wrote: "A water pipe broke somewhere underground. This is how the end of the world will look like: we will be waiting for someone to repair it. And looking for the number of a free of charge customer care."
And Vaclav Cilek (Letat s ptaky), one of my favourite authors, says: "I've always felt that there are two tendencies beside each other - a creative one and a destructive one. Both are big unpersonal powers - ancient Greeks would call them "gods" whereas modern people rather speak about darwinian strenghts of natural selection. Most of the old societies understood well that destruction is not a lack of positive deeds or a mistake, but a real power of its own following its own logic."
