Good Fast and Cheap
People often speak of the idea that there are generally three things you want when trying to make something happen: you want it to be good, fast and cheap. However, they also say that the truth is that you can only have two of these things exist at once and that you cannot have the third. For instance, if you are remodeling your kitchen, it can be good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. Or, it can be fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. Or, it can even be good and cheap, but it won’t be fast. You can imagine how you could apply this theory to nearly anything.

About The Czech RepublicAlthough the Czech Republic is among the smaller countries of Europe with a population of about 10 million, it has a remarkably rich history. From the 7th to 19th century, the people of Bohemia were ruled by many kings and rulers. Among them was Charles IV (1346-78), King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, during whose reign Prague grew into one of the largest cities in Europe. Much of that period can still be seen in buildings and other physical landmarks that remain.
In the second half of the 16th century, Prague was the seat of the Habsburg Empire, and in the early 20th century a part of the Austrian Empire. Czechoslovakia gained independence in 1918 – becoming an island of democracy in Central Europe. This freedom lasted only 20 years because the country came under Nazi occupation during World War II. Although democracy was restored after the war, Czechoslovakia became a communist country after only three years, and remained under Soviet rule until the 1989 Velvet Revolution. The Velvet Revolution ushered in a period of profound change and rejuvenation, renewed contact with Western thought, technology, information and economic health. At the end of 1992, Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. On March 20, 1999 the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary officially entered into NATO. On May 1, 2004 the Czech Republic became a member of the European Union.
