Why the hell can’t we learn to live together like decent people?

An Arab, a Russian, and an American — what would they have in common?
Here is a better question: what is the ONE thing they would all agree on?
Take a guess.

Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud.
Yuri Gagarin.
Frank Borman.

Three astronauts.
And here is what they each had to say about the place we call home:

“The first day or so we all pointed to our countries.
The third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents.
By the fifth day, we were aware of only one Earth.”
Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud

“What beauty. I saw clouds and their light shadows on the distant dear earth….”
Yuri Gagarin

 “When you’re finally up at the moon looking back on earth,
all those differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend,
and you’re going to get a concept that maybe this really is one world and
why the hell can’t we learn to live together like decent people.”
Frank Borman

Mariana Fieraru

Mariana Fieraru, an Eastern European transplant, fell in love with her new home shortly after landing in New York. She "discovered" pizza! Years later she still loves pizza. And so do her two feathered-kids, Sunny and Flipper

Mariana worked on both, the east and the west coast.
Big or small, each project she worked on helped define the importance of gaining and sustaining a competitive edge in an increasingly complex business environment.

Business know-how, love of teaching and writing – all combined in 2006 to form OBI.
