After starting quite a new life the last months I came across a lot of new connections, colleagues & friends. When being new to a job, neighbourhood or – like in my case – a country, it is quite logical that one tries to fit in or, at least, that one tries to make a good impression. This is when I came across an old problem, that I already wanted [...]

Noooo, no drugs. I really mean what I am saying. This post is about succeeding via failing. Fail = bad, right? No! Well yes, in it’s natural meaning it is something bad to fail. That’s why people on twitter tag bad or stupid actions with the #fail tag or that’s why the failblog is so popular.

By the incredible Walt Disney: “If you [...]

Trying to get some traffic, sell stuff etc. So did I. To be honest, this groundshaking idea came to my mind 3 hours before the first match of World Cup 2010. Lets just blame my current work [...]

We know it all. We’re surfing the web and see some guys who seem to publish new posts, books, sites or other work all the time. How can they do all this stuff at a time?
