Danish Ali is a 22-year-old student studying electronics engineering at BUITMS university who is also a social activist, volunteer, and blogger. His message is that when facing difficulties in life, some people lose hope and cry, which only makes the situation worse. Instead, he advises accepting challenges with a smile, as smiling can convert emotions that travel back to the mind to strengthen one's belief and provide strength to deal with problems. No matter how bad things are, don't forget to smile in difficult times, as it boosts morale and one will realize how such a small expression can change one's whole world, whether in business, personal life, or at home by attracting positive thoughts.
Rešid is a 20-year-old Bosnian man currently studying political science and international relations at Istanbul University. In his message, he encourages the reader to be bold and true to themselves in 2014 by embracing new experiences, ignoring critics, and working hard to achieve their dreams despite potential failures along the way. He also stresses the importance of maturity, empathy, honesty, and bringing people together.
A 20-year-old student of genetics and bioengineering attends International Burch University in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and invites others to visit. They encourage restoring faith in humanity by being different, inspiring others to do good through helping anyone in need, and spreading love instead of hate.

4. Western perception
Interviews with our international colleagues (Finland, Sweden,
Germany, France) gave us some frame to judge their perception of
Eastern Europe. Some of our findings are:
Corruption is moderate
Labor force is less skilled than Western
They expect cheap products
Macrostability is dependant on EU stability
Average problems with bureacracy are expected
5. Conclusion from interviews
Eastern Europe has poor perception
Well known fact is that consumers rely heavily on emotions and
perception
Because all of that our opinion is that Eastern Europe countries
should shift their focus from producing consumer goods to
producing intermediate products
