De zwarte zwaan

Onvoorziene ontwikkelingen horen erbij

Niet alles is te voorzien en ondanks onze plannen kunnen dingen gebeuren die alles wat we bedacht hebben volledig in de war schoppen.

Over onverwachte ontwikkelingen die uiteindelijk grote invloed hebben heeft Nasser Talib een belangwekkend boek geschreven, De zwarte zwaan.
