Provide minimal price in the case of new client asked about!
Help anyone instead of doing your job, it’s really important!
Only job activities, no hobby, no rest, no weekend!
Force majeure is not a reason to postpone the case. Sacrifice your
sleep time!

we, like a PHOENIX,
can many times to burn himself and reborn again.
And each time,
having overcome the burnout,
we grow up –
