Convictions and beliefs
There is a set of habits, principles and beliefs that I have adopted as my own. Some may have been part of my personality right from the cradle, some are learned lessons that I gained from all my experiences and challenges so far. Either way, they have always provided me a stable ground for a happy and successful life that I am grateful for.
Live and let live
There is nothing more important than mutual respect for other people's opinions, cultures and beliefs. Inspired by Kant's categorical imperative, I endorse the dignity of individual freedom and liberty to the core but never without regard for the sake of the whole community.
I love to have a plan...
...but I always try to stay flexible and embrace change. Even though I am an out-and-out organized and well structured person, I keep myself adaptive.
I speak up my mind...
...when I really have something to say, but rather listen up carefully to what other people want and feel first. You better think things through before rushing into words.
Keep calm and...
...make yourself aware of what lies in your hands and what not. This is crucial for success. No matter what situation I am in, I always try to stay relaxed and keep my feet on the ground.
Never stop learning
I am curious and have a great desire for knowledge of any kind. There are so many things I want to do, places to go and books to be read. Life is great and I want to grasp as much of it as I can for the time given.
The star is the team
No matter how strong the skills of any individual are. A committed team that works towards a common goal, appreciates each coequal member's contribution and shares all liabilities, will always be more successful.
Creative solutions
There are at least two solutions to any problem. Being an optimist to the bone, I like to play things around until I got them. Often it is enough to change perspectives to get on the right track.
Steady commitment
I hate to leave anybody high and dry. Keeping promises, being reliable and giving the best I can, is fundamental to my self-concept. Success means to me to embrace any task I do and responsibily that is put on me.
Shifting borders
If you fear it, it might be the right thing to do. Even though I am a far cry from being a go-getter, I try to overcome my anxities and take steps for getting to the next level. I love my comfort zone. It just needs steady enlargement.
Love what you do...
...and do what you love! It is crucial to have a wholesome relation to all the things you do. No cherry picking, but proud commitment to my work and the aim in life never to do anything I could not do with a smile on my face.
I support different projects, ideas and organizations that aim to make this world a better place. Hopefully, I will find ways to become a more active part of some of these great endeavors.
