Hi my friends, followers, business partners and contacts.
Good to meet again with You here. I choose the below picture for my 2nd post in this blog,
because it expresses very nicely my hopeful expectations, that at least some of
You should have been waiting curiously already for my new post.
The foto shows
our golden retriever Luke (Luke Skywalker) sitting outside our house, impatiently
waiting for me to come out and join him. He has become totally adapted to my
new home office routine. When we started to switch over to home office for all
our administrative and many other colleagues at our company in Itatiba, Sao Paulo, about 3 months ago,
I immediately selected the open, typical brazilian, churrasqueira (grilling
place) in our garden (You can see it on the below picture behind Luke) as the
right and definitely best place available for me in our house.
And since then,
from morning to evening, Luke joins me and does not leave me alone a single
minute during my long office day over there. We have meanwhile become a really
strong and experienced team.
Since I started my blog yesterday, I have thought
a lot about this new baby and I decided, to give it directly a certain frame
structure. What I will often publish here, are single pictures and I will also quite frequently present one literature thing, a book or an article, and/or some artwork, like paintings, which I find important
and of potential general interest for You and I will also mention one let`s
call it piece of music, which I like very much and would like to share with
You.
As this is the first time that I follow this new structure, both the
literature and the music examples must definitely be of really high importance
and esteem for me.
My absolutely most beloved and admired book is the wellknown “Don
Quixote” of the Spanish mediavel author Miguel de Cervantes. I read it for the
first time in the original spanish edition during the years 2000 to 2003,
when I was Managing Director of Schwarzkopf & Henkel`s famous spanish cosmetics
plant “La Toja” in beautiful La Coruna, Galicia, where it from time to time
rains endlessly all year long.
One of our most prestigious products was the
black soap “Magno”, whose incredibly nice parfume I am permanently missing, since I
went away from Spain to Mexico mid 2003. And this book never left me loose
again. I think, no other novel reflects better and deeper all the crazy
experiences each of us encounters during his live.
Just reflect, how many times
You already have fought senceless with wind mills in Your own life! My
condolences for all those, who didn`t make such really rich experiences yet. You definitely
missed a lot.
My todays`s music reference – as a fanatic Rolling Stones fan
since the sweet age of 8 (release of the hit buster “Satisfaction”) – must
definitely be “Living in a ghost town”, a song which reflects so perfectly the
perverse images and mood of the empty cities worldwide during this Covid-19 crisis.
Finally here just as a comment, because I
have been asked this question so many times already, what I personally consider
as my most important and successful achievement during the meanwhile decades of
my professional career as executive for outstanding german industrial companies
in several parts of the world.
I admit frankly that I am incredibly proud, that – no
matter all the massive learnings, developments and adaptations I personally
made throughout all these years at so many diferent places -, I have never
given up or put into question or at sale my personality, my character and my
ethics.
And this is really my most important recommendation, especially for all
my younger friends, who are still in their development and definition process,
personally and professionally.
These are Your real assets and values, the ones
which will keep You able to do the greatest jobs, achieve the highest targets,
survive the deepest falls, withstand the biggest dangers, gain excelent
performance and find happyness in Your live.
Never give up, to take care of and
defend these! But let`s stop here now and leave more content for my tomorrow`s
post. I can`t tell You all my stories and experiences today. Otherwise my blog
will die out again soon.
What`s definitely sure already is, that Luke will be
waiting for me again tomorrow morning. But what about You? Will You still continue
interested in following my posts? Hope so. I have plenty more sexy stuff for
You in my treasure room .
Enjoy another great, happy and highly successful day.
Luke and I are keen to seeing You tomorrow here again.
