   Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward (one without courage)!”. He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?”. The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
