Quotes
The words of the former head of the technical department were: "Be humble in the face of phenomena!"
It means discerning things carefully, identifying their essence, and responding accordingly. Rather than creating stories, it's about approaching problems with a blank slate mindset, analyzing events. Such humble responses often lead to true solutions.
