«Richard Layard wrote, that the main goal of a man - to become happy – is often achieved mostly due to his choice of life career. I’m sure, that there are happy people working in our company. Only a happy person can make other people happy, such as their relatives, friends, colleagues, partners and clients. This might be the secret of the LANIT success».
