Israel BrainTech Conference: Shimon Peres attributes Israel's success to never being satisfied

Oct. 25, 2013
By Jonathan Goldstein
TEL AVIV — The First Israel BrainTech Conference (IBT) being held here, is the brainchild of Israel's President Shimon Peres. When interviewed, the president tried to explain the secret of the small state's technological successes. "Well," he explained, "you'll find something very common in the Israeli character – we are never satisfied." That lack of satisfaction or complacency, he explained, was the key to getting people to think out of their comfort zone, and being prepared to make strides in directions that they might not have made otherwise. Israelis are good at these bold moves.
