English Translation

z/Such aptitude for printing with remarkable shortness, what you can already observe when comparing bilingual inscriptions. As a professor of mechanics at the Technical University, who of course also studied his science in foreign languages, which I master well, I was always delighted at the possibility of concise and short expressions in my mother tongue. A strong emotional attitude is also noticeable among our workers and our psychological think- ing the industrial leader take it into consideration. Barsh's approach is difficult to bear. In conflicts you can let people speak out calmly, even if their feeling sometimes produces strong words. At the end of the day, there is always another, prominent train of the people's soul, the sober sense of reality that exists. I myself look at the years when I was constantly in contact with many of our workers as an assembly engineer of large companies and travelled with them to the strangers, as back to the most beautiful time of my life. The vast majority of workers liked their work and were always willing, even with sometimes demanded peak performances. In spite of strictness, people felt that I loved them very much — you see here how the moment of feeling is — and I have never experienced an indecentness on their part, not even an undue confidence, although in some places we have even shared the meals. If something was wrong with me, I have always settled it in the place with the people. However, I always avoided one thing, after returning to the company, to sue and thus harm people. Once I had a greater factual difficulty, the repair of which caused an extension of the assembly. When the director asked me about his return, I naturally told him all the truth. Then he broke out in laughter and said: "Wonderfully, people would never want to betray you, the supermonteur I asked before assured me that everything had gone properly." Our worker is a dominant individualist. It is purely mechanistic drill, but it replaces this with be- sible independence in its considerations. 10
