Hi people. I am excited. This is my first blog. Wow. I
really got started on this project idea now, which I already have carried in my
head and thoughts since longer.
Why did I find it so much interesting, to become
a blogger? First of all, because the frequent sharing of experiences &
insights has since many years anyhow already become an important and pleasant activity
within my normal life routine .
As a consequence of my very energetic
professional and personal activities and because of my rich and constantly
growing collection of all kinds of professional, cultural and personal experiences
and insights, many of my thousands of worldwide friends, business partners and contacts
very frequently confront me with requests for advice, opinion, hints and
comments.
So why not extend this openly to the public and thus extend massively
my existing network of friends and contacts and at the same time collect much
more feedback and learnings for myself? Now I`m right on this highway. But the
beginning was not very easy.
Having woken up much earlier than normal this
morning, but immediately with the firm decision in my head, to set up my blog
and “go live” with it, unexpected obstacles appeared. For the first time since
months my internet connection failed and even when I managed, to establish it
again, it continued to interrupt me from my online activity every once and a
while.
Should I have taken this as a “sign from heaven”, not to become a blogger?
Some of my friends would clearly have interpreted it this way. But that`s not
my way of thinking and acting. I took it just as another challenge, which has to be
overcome successfully in order to reach my objectives and realize my
intentions. No way out – many times in my personal and professional life such
very challenging and hindering surprises have appeared and – as we altogether can
see happily – could be overcome by me successfully.
Thus I took it as just one more unsuccessful attempt, to stop me from doing, what I wanted and what I was convinced that I needed
to do. “After action satisfaction” – I really love this frase, which I catched
up from a huge outdoor cigarette advert, when I participated in a student exchange programme
in South Africa about 40 years ago.
The world and for sure my life have changed
completely since then. But my admiration for this stupid advert frase has not
changed during all this time and my deep conviction, that You have to allow
Yourself some nice moments after You have accomplished some important work or after
having had great success with getting an important problem solved, continues.
This easens for You to understand, why I am happily drinking a nice cup of my
beloved indian chai tea now, feeling a real winner and enjoying the beautiful sunrise just starting outside for opening this wonderful new day. Please keep always in mind, that You
don`t need to win the Iron Man in order to feel a winner.
There`s plenty more and much easier opportunities for You every day during Your normal life and job for having success and becoming able to feel a winner. Now You know about this launch of my blog, some of the
reasons for having gotten started on doing so and even a little bit about some
of my general motivations, inspirations and feelings.
And I would like to give
You a very warm welcome to my new blog experiment. No chance for this to fly
without all of You as my readers, followers, friends, dialog partners. Please give me Your highly appreciated feedback !
I´ll
close this now for today and come back to You again tomorrow with my 2nd
publication in this blog. By the way – You can also find and contact me in
linkedin, XING and Instagram. Who knows, other social media appearances will
follow. I wish You a great and very successful day. And don´t forget – “After
action satisfaction” !
