“#2—COMPRENDA QUE LA FE ES MÁS FUERTE QUE EL TEMOR”

No, lo hice porque quería que aprendieran a ayudarse a sí mismos. Pronto se volvieron creativos e ingeniosos. Con el tiempo necesitaban menos ayuda, por lo que se convirtieron en mejores líderes que tomaban decisiones.”

Cuando eso sucede, todos salimos ganando.”
