 Extreme ownership was always my motto. Accountability and ownership for everything which happens in my life or next to me.

Until some massive event runs you over like tsunami. Or a war destroying whole neighborhood next door, families and lives of people around.

And since recently I realized that the amount of chaos in the world is much larger than small neighborhood around me to which I can hope to bring some order.

And now I’m always trying to find a balance between total personal responsibility for a change and improvements which are possible, and humility to accept that a lot of good stuff (as a lot of bad stuff) around me cannot be fully attributed to me.
