“An optimist does not refuse the negative side of things, but refuses to dwell on them” – Alexander Lockar
During the past years, our common sense has been severely questioned. In 2016, the vagaries of political changes and the real and destructive effects of terror attacks across Europe reminded us about the perilous times we live in. But even if it’s becoming more and more difficult to predict the frequency or the occurrence of such events and the impact they may have on our lives and our businesses, we must strive for a delicate balance between liberties and enforced boundaries. We must turn risks into opportunities.
