The best manager we could say is Angelos Delivorias or the director of the Benaki Museum. This year the museum celebrated its 80^th anniversary, and Mr. Delivorias is its manager since 1973. Currently he is preparing its newest branch: the Pinacoteca of Nikolaos Hazikiriakos-Gikas. "Benaki Museum threw me in the deep waters of the identities, of what it means to be Greek. So, when I'm asked what I do, I say: "I am the director of the Benaki Museum." I personally owe my acquaintance with the country to that occupation. I had associates in all museums - in the central one, in that of Islamic art and the new one, but the Museum is mine. Selection, aesthetics, logic, structure, continuity of an exhibition with the other ...the spirit is mine."

Christoforos Pissaridis won the Nobel Prize for Economics along with his colleagues from the USA Peter Diamond and Dale Morte and became the first Greek Nobel winner in science. He returned permanently in Cyprus, but the joke within his complaint is that he can no longer think aloud, because even a guess of his becomes a title! "Unemployment is an economic problem, so economic solutions are needed. But the consequences on people are social and political solutions are needed there... Greece will emerge from the crisis wiser, more modern, more ready to cope with the future. Previous generations pulled it off course, but today’s generation, which currently pays the price, will be able to live much better."

The Harvard University professor Nikolaos Hristakis is notorious with his theory of networks and is among the 100 individuals with the greatest impact on the planet, according to Time magazine. "We should care what happens to the person next to us ... Our study is a slap for the free will: it shows that things we think are at our discretion or taste are influenced by the views of our friends or of those who are friends of friends of our friends. But at the same time it brings the free will, because if you do something good, stop smoking for example, or make something good, it affects the people around you and shows you have strong will and it grows. According to the scientist, Greece moves in the right direction, because politicians are determined to cope with the situation and take the country out of the crisis.

Louis Psihogios is the man who made the story for the dolphins killed by Japanese fishermen, well known throughout the world under the title The Cove. He won Oscar with his first film which has helped the film to be released in cinemas in Japan. There was strong response from a group that did not want the truth to be heard, says Psihogios. He becomes part of the team of National Geographic at the age of 23 years and says this is the greatest thing that happened to him. "I wanted nothing more in life ... The search for perfection for me is inhesion, obsession. Even when I worked as a photographer, I wanted to know everything about the person or topic which I was going to shoot, I felt the need to study everything in detail first."
