"If you want more from people, you have to give them more." - "There is no better way to inspire than by personal example." - "Working overtime is a poorly planned day." - "Live every day." - "Never give up. He who has developed the character to endure, who can not only invent good ideas but also carry them out, will win."

The attitudes he espouses are appropriate for about 30% of people. Those 30% are people who want to work on themselves and grow themselves - The Bata's never had a person in a leadership position who didn't fit that character - The only thing the Bata's envied others was their youth - so they could do it again - The Bata philosophy was first and foremost about building yourself - About being responsible to yourself - People don't invent great things when they have to, they invent them when they want to! - Bata awakened this in his employees so that they didn't have to, but wanted to – Baťoviny (Newspaper) are very liberating - Tomáš Bata had a great gift - to approach things with common sense - Bata is not about shoes at all, it is about building yourself - Bata was very relational and formed this relationship with his co-workers - By the way, Bata donated the Zlín Chateau to the city for a crown!

The story of Bata continues to surprise and inspire. Meet him in Orlice Park

What power comes from the speeches of Tomáš Bata and Jan Antonín Bata - and what nothing from the speeches of Czech politicians! The Czechs are delusional again - the Bata principle inevitably claims the floor again! Economist Lukáš Kovanda descri1bes on ČRoPlus (30.1.2024 13:04) the problems of companies that did not exist at Bata - bad relations between employee and owner, better performance versus stunting. Too bad he didn't speak more positively and cite the Bata principle as a solving example!
Let's rely on ourselves, our abilities, not on formal paragraphs that do nothing for us, prosperity and personal initiative only hinders or destroys! Prosperity of the individual and the country is built only by the capable, not by politicians corrupted by power and money. Every country should have a standard of living that it creates by honest work, by its own abilities - not by subsidies from the work of others that deny common sense and promote unnaturalness with its legal consequences!

Interior Minister Vít Rakušan: "Marriage should be for all without exceptions. Representatives of secondary school authorities came to me with this plea today. And I fully agree with them."

Slowly you can't praise MPs for anything anymore, in this case the exception proves the rule. The world has gone mad and every glimmer of sanity supports the hope that this will not be a permanent state of affairs. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. The abnormal way of "affluent" life is causing "manwomen", "womanmen", to enter in dangerously increasing numbers. To meet a real man and a real woman is increasingly rare. Perhaps the mechanism of nature is already in operation to protect itself from destruction by the "pest". Children are becoming maman and papan. They don't know what they are anymore - psychiatrists and psychologists don't keep up... Will boys soon be playing with dolls, carrying prams and girls playing in the woods and playing soldiers? Without real men and women, the world has no future. JŠ

In a personal meeting at the at the Václav Havel Library, he told me that he knew nothing about the Marocco Gate case? On 13.1.2024 I therefore SENT him further information. To date no response, although delivery was confirmed? Is his mail blocked or does the Security Committee not have the courage to look into the matter?
We shall see what the near future brings. The international scandal is beginning to "swell under the lid". Foreign embassies are taking an active interest in the matter. Their reputation is threatened by the MFA of the Czech Republic by covering up criminal practices of former or active diplomats. Let us not be surprised that Minister Lipavsky sent the Austrian police after me in Vienna and that my confirmed application for a meeting with the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, did not arrive at the meeting in Prague.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security and its Chairman, Senator Pavel Fischer, are behaving in a similar way. In a personal meeting in his office, he said that he "does not have the competence"... JŠ

Update 3.3.2024: This is how new powers were born. "That we were trained by the KGB is ridiculous," says influential sports boss Kaderka, an associate of Václav Klaus at the Prognostic Institute. Vomit allowed! JŠ

The prosecutor has requested detention for Ivo Kaderka and Vojtech Flégl, two key figures in the Czech Tennis Federation subsidy fraud case. In Flégl's case, the court has already granted it. The decisive step indicates that investigators are confident in the strength of the evidence and intend to prevent the accused from influencing witnesses - Court deals with Kaderka, Flégl already in custody

My 2012 article with reader comments below says it all! In a country with no elites and a lost tradition, corruption and stealing inevitably shows and manifests itself everywhere over time. It is a picture of the moral decay of society for which we each bear our share of responsibility by our inaction and self-interest. JŠ

I agree with Martina Navratilova, Ivo Kaderka is a lout and a totally unprincipled person!

On the occasion of the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine and in response to the death of imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny, EU representatives agreed on the thirteenth package of sanctions against Russia.
The list of people, companies or institutions that are to be directly or indirectly involved in supporting the aggressor has been extended by 200 more. In addition to the Russian entities, four Chinese companies and one Indian company are now on the list, according to the Czech Press Agency. The reason for this is that they are said to be helping the Kremlin to circumvent previously adopted measures preventing the purchase of military technology. These are companies producing so-called dual-use products, in particular drones.
The US is also preparing a major new package of sanctions. One day, we may learn whether such measures have worked (in the case of Iran, they have not), but from time to time, the hard reality comes knocking on the door of the enthusiastic politicians who approve them, in the form of reports about how Russian companies have found a back door and how Western companies are trading with them briskly and without scruples. Apparently they follow the famous economist Milton Friedman's motto: The business of business is the business.
