Today I was about to purchase a yearly subscription for public transportation in Berlin, the capital city of Germany. I entered one of the customer’s information points where you can ask for general information or buy tickets.

I asked about the conditions for the ticket like contract duration, options to cancel and cancellation fees. The lady on the other side of the desk decided to not answer in spoken language but grabbing a sheet, putting it right in front of my face, pointing her finger to a text that was small and hard to read.

„So, you don’t want to talk to me?“, I asked. She replied with an obvious sound of disenchantment (read: annoyed) because she was not in the mood of really answering my questions since it was all written on the paper, right? Read More

Every Friday I’m summing up what you learnt in these last days of the #weekdaykickoff 🌊. Here we go!

Resist to drink coffee as a drug

You need the infusion of caffeine to be awake and kick-off your day. As a child and teen you didn’t need to. Why do you need coffee today? Think of why you take it every morning, throughout the day or in your „low“. Are you maybe out of juice or lacking motivation because what’s about to come in your day is not super exciting?

Riding the wave

The moment you’ve received this reward by riding the wave where things seem to happen so mellowly and smoothly is when you realized it was because of what you did before. It feels good. It’s pure enjoyment. It’s like auto pilot or the feeling of passive income when you only need to superficially supervise what’s going on because the plane is flying by itself.

„I believe in the good things coming“

You can call it flow, being in the zone or whatever you fancy. Fact is: Because you took action, good things followed. With action I don’t necessarily mean literal action where you make or hope to make an immediate impact that’ll positively effect the cause you support. I mean the action that is done with purpose.
