Gref named a way to avoid anxiety and stress

To avoid depression, stress, and anxiety, a person should enjoy today and avoid over-planning. This was announced on June 30 by German Gref, President and Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank, at the annual Shareholders' Meeting (AGM) of the credit institution.

"How can this be avoided? <...> We need to enjoy today, because we have this planning horizon," RBC quoted him as saying.

Now the "planning horizon," as Gref explained, is starting to tend to zero due to the development of technology. It is this factor, according to him, that can provoke destructive feelings in people, in particular those who have an analytical mindset and prefer to make forecasts.

The head of Sberbank recommended such people not to delve too deeply into the creation of scenarios, as they often develop completely differently from what their author intended. Usually, expectations, he noted, are either black or white, and reality turns out to be something related.
