In the time of Ancient Greeks, the youngest Zeus’s son Kairos, was a god of fortunate moments and opportunities. The myth says that Kaiors moves around the people, quietly and fast giving them the opportunity to seize the happy moment and catch him by his tuff. He can be caught by the tuft only from the front, because that is where he has hair only. ‘To catch the Kairos by his tuft means knowing when to seize the opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime. Kairos calls out for opening our eyes and being determent, he is a symbol of acting in the right moment.
