People drawn in a glass of water. They lack perspective. Look. You have all you need. I repeat. You have all you need to achieve your potential. And let me put you an example. Probably you know her. Her name is Emma Kok. Look for her on the internet. She became famous when she was 15 years old or so. She signs like the angels. If you look for her interpretation of the song “Voilà ”, you’ll see that it has more reproductions that any crap issued by Donald and Elon together, by far. Unfortunately, she suffers from gastroparesis, an illness that forces her to be connected to two feeding pumps for 22 hours a day in order to digest. If one day you feel like you can't handle something, watch this angel singing 'Voilà . Now. You’re a privileged. You have a mobile phone or a laptop, and likely both. Probably two eyes.

They simply hadn’t seen that situation before. They could not imagine in their head was the CJV was going to say and do. They were not putting...
“Operations are fine”, they said. Reports are produced. Meetings happen. Budgets are updated. And, little by little, budgets are not respected. A KPI deduction is untransferable.
