On the Premiere 😃 for this “Insight Quote” Series, our founder brings a tricky quote from Ex-Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
Some enthusiastics may say that you just gotta be Positive and things work out just well. Some may say that it’s all about perspective when confronting hardships and being able to improve.
