impossible possible and i would love to tell you what we do we are the only people capable in planet earth to do it, but this is far away from the truth. what we do is special. >> of course, what makes them special is that they step up to help, not next week, not tomorrow but right now. why do you think it works? i know you say we don't have meetings. we don't make announcements. we just go. >> we say we don't plan. every hour you are planning for something is one hour you are missing. sometimes you say you to ornize to start feeding people. not really. you can always be driving and you may decide to make right or make left. you don't know if you're taking the right turn and let me tell you one thing, my friend, you will only be able to turn right or left if you are moving
