Hana Zagorová, +75, RIP “I have learned that when something comes up, I look for a fault in myself. I never attack the person who caused it, but I will say to myself: “Good job, Zagorová! Bylas hálo ve střehu a tady to máš“ But self-confidence is a good investment in life. Yen must not prevail over quality.” pic.twitter.com/9NXKF5GzRC
