ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT
Humans: we mean well but we're imperfect creatures living in a beautifully
imperfect world. Sometimes the little things get us and other times, the not so little.
It's amazing we've made it this far. Maybe it's because when one of us messes up, someone else comes along to help out.
At Liberty Mutual Insurance we get that it's tough out there, and our job is to
make it less tough.
That's the thing about humans: when things are at their worst we are at our best.

PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION
Humanos:temos boa intenção, mas somos criaturas imperfeitas que vivem em um belo
mundo imperfeito. Às vezes as pequenas coisas nos pegam e outras vezes, as não tão pequenas.
É incrível que tenhamos chegado até aqui. Talvez seja porque quando um de nós faz besteira, alguém vem para ajudar.
Na Liberty Mutual Insurance, entendemos que é difícil lá fora, e nosso trabalho é
torná-lo menos difícil.
Essa é a coisa sobre os seres humanos: quando as coisas estão no seu pior, estamos no nosso melhor.
