Stoicism as a philosophy, intellectual movement and practice is relevant and applicable today in many spheres of life. Its influence is noticeable in everything, starting from the personal life of an individual (his psychological, emotional, intellectual state) and continuing with all kinds of interaction with other people, businesses, states and, in general, with humanity. Moreover, this approach is also maximally effective, especially in the modern world, which is constantly rocking on the waves of instability. It is not for nothing that Stoicism is called “the philosophy of difficult times”.

In highly competitive industries businesses are constantly looking for new ways to increase their value and productivity. Therefore, more and more entrepreneurs are looking for new ways to improve their business. Of course, this only applies to companies with a long-term strategy for staying in the market.

Now transportation volumes have fallen by times: where 8-10 trains used to be dispatched, now it is 2-3 trains; where 500-600 containers were handled per month, now it is 200-300. Delivery times have increased and the number of “abandoned” trains has increased. Let's look into what is the reason?
