To Be or Not to Be
To be or not to be
Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: &I think, therefore am.&
But the best definition of existence ever saw did another philosopher who said: &To be is to be in relations.& If this true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? If you are interest-ed only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned--poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs--you are dead.
Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest--even more, a new accomplishment--you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subject the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts, new friends. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. If your thoughts are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow cir-conscribed life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China~ if you&re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be--to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. Let widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let live!

The world will never be the same again as it was before the 2008's crisis. However it is almost ten years now since then, the world's still changing in that direction of instability and uncertainty. May be only few years left for those who live with past habits and ways of doing business and after that they will dissappear like dinosaurs.
The issue has a lot of concerns with the family business I am in - wrist watches, which will always be sensitive to the times like these, as they are not the products of first necessity, especcilally when new technology era affects our business with appearance of iWatch and other smart watches.
The best we can do right now is start the new great transformation. We have to work hard and learn a lot according to the requirements of new reality and find new ways to be always ready for any economic changes. It will allow us to think much more broader and notice new unseen opportunities and may be opening entire new directions.
Why am I writing this? Because I had 2 ways: to give up the watches or to rebirth our family company, which means a lot to me: gave me carefree childhood, best education and a lot of possibilities to travel and meet interesting people. Now it's time to give back.
I invite you to my journey and hope it will be worth reading to you as well.
P.S.: I am good at starting, but sometimes bad at finishing. So please do not hesitate to share your thoughts and ideas, ask your questions and support me on this adventure.

　　Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely.
