10 times 45 and more...

In his weekly column "Max's Column" for TBmagazine, Maxim Behar talks about the difficulties and changes in the Bulgarian economy and business and the only force that counts - experience.

We often talk about these 45 years and it doesn’t matter what it is that we are complaining about, it keeps coming up in our conversations... Communism this, communism that...

But it’s a fact – what these times have done to our society, the lack of market and free media has damaged us for generations to come! What should we do from now on...?

Complaining and reminiscing won't help. We just have to remember the lessons. So even if its 10 times 45, or just 45 days, and even if we multiply it a hundred times, we have to learn to live a new life.

This is the only way for Bulgaria to succeed. And when we are walking around Vienna, London, or Paris we should not be jealous but be mindful of all those years. We should just think for a second how can our wonderful country become more beautiful, organized, and successful.

In fact, the cities that we are jealous of have become what they are with hard work, inspiration, and... memory of the lessons they have learned. Whichever they were.
