IIf you can imagine
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! R

* rAINmAkEr (business) – from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In business, a Rainmaker is a person who brings in new business and wins new accounts almost by magic, since it is often not readily apparent how this new business activity is caused. It means generating substantial new business or additional cash flow from sources sometimes outside established business chan-nels, sometimes by connecting with people in non-traditional or hidden markets, and sometimes by prompting current clients to spend more money.

We feel incredibly grateful to be able to realise our dreams in a stable economy and create jobs, products and value. We believe passionately that entrepreneurial thinking is the driving factor that makes the world a better place. That’s why we have decided to give back 10 % of all annual profits from the WAOW Group to proj-ects that share our philosophy of life.
In addition, we develop social products the same way we develop start-ups: lean, agile, with fast iterations. Our first project is the matchmaker app: SoMa.
OnE WORlD
soMa – THE sOCIAl MATCH find, do not search. Thanks to a special algorithm based on machine learning, the soMa platform offers each user three individualised proj-ects that need support and could be interesting. support can be money, things or time. For this purpose, both a search for the region and the type of contribution are used – as well as available information such as social media profiles.
