Don't Forget, Stay Weird

Sometimes you need to remind me. I think I had times I was a bit to geekish. Too much pat of the mass doing things as always. For example I remember when I worked in publishing. I liked the job, companies, the industry, the people etc. And I much adapted to it. Quiet conservative I did what I was asked for and what always where done.
Not always and not extreme. There where of course times I jumped on new projects, visited customers, set up new things etc. And this is exactly what's new and adds new value. It is great to get out of the comfort zone, add some crazyness toward new things. Ask thereby: How can I add value to the world by staying weird and do what I enjoy to do?

Machmal musst du mich erinnern doch etwas mehr abgehoben zu sein. Ich glaube ich hatte Zeiten wo ich zu streberhaft war. Beispielsweise erinnere ich mich an meine Zeit im Verlagswesen. Den Job, sowie die Unternehmen, die Leute, die Branche habe ich sehr gemocht. Und ich war sehr, sehr angepasst. Konservativ habe ich gmeacht was man von mir wollte und was immer auf diesen Weg getan wurde.
Nicht immer war es so und auch nicht extrem. Auf jeden Fall gab es Zeiten wo ich auf neuen Projekte sprang, Kunden besuchte, neue Dinge ausprobierte etc. Und das ist exakt was neuen Wert bringt. Es ist großartig die Komfortzone zu velassen und neue Dinge zu schaffen. Das ist exakt was neuen Wert bringt. Es ist großartig abgehoben zu sein und neue Dinge zu probieren. Frage dich dabei: Wie kann ich Wert schaffen in dem ich abgehoben bin und genieße was ich tue?

Fire Alarm Appreciation



Deutsch siehe unten. German see below.
The Liffey Trust Center in Dublin. A new built apartment, in the North Wall district of Dublin 1. I lived there for 14 month on the 5th floor in a modern apartment on the corner. All works fine. Almost all. One weak spot was the fire alarm. Approximately every other week, during different daytimes the alarm goes on. There was never a fire but all the apartments have smoke detectors and they might be sensible.
Years before a trusted customer recommend me to find out in hotels the escape way as he had someone close in a serious situation. I made it a habit and I took the habit with me in the Liffey Trust. When the alarm rings, I jump on, take shoes and jacket while walking out, take the outside stairs, walk down in the main backyard on the 2nd level and down the big stairs toward the front of the house. The alarm is ringing loudly until some facility manager switches them off. Astonishing was that sometimes I was the only one, other people maybe peek out and ask and others ignore it at all.
I'm aware that most likely there wouldn't be a fire and even if as the building has wide open air corridors and balcony's. It was just the habit. If it is an emergency I ensured to act right, otherwise I would prepare for emergency and there was one additional factor: This was an opportunity to appreciate to be in a safe environment. I appreciate to be in a safe building with technology and a process that supports my safety.
No worries for the next alarm, just appreciation to be safe!
