# Growth is a shift in perspective

- from the butterfly that lives for today to *homo vulgaris*, who lives for tomorrow
- from people living "until the vacation" to people building the future
- businesses that plan years ahead, social projects designed for the next generation, and scientists who think on a scale beyond their own lifetimes.

I saw the year 2080 on [the plan of Invitro](http://habrahabr.ru/company/invitro/blog/194064/), a chain of medical labs, and felt ashamed of myself.
