Höchststrafe


Was unterscheidet einen "Läufer" von einem "Jogger"? Während der Läufer an der roten Ampel stehen bleibt und auf Grün wartet, joggt der Jogger auf der Stelle weiter.
Dieser Jogger-Witz verdeutlicht nicht nur die Tatsache, dass Jogger keine Läufer sind, sondern macht darüber hinaus auch noch klar, dass Joggen im Vergleich zum Laufen eher eine Wohlfühl-Beschäftigung als Training im engeren Sinne ist, also mehr Schein als Sein. Am Dienstag habe ich bei den 5-min Intervallen gemeint schnell zu sein, als auf dem Feldweg ein kleiner Junge mich bei seiner Familie mit folgenden Worten angekündigt hat: "Da kommt ein Jogger." Ich war schwer getroffen, mein Ego mit einem Schlag in Trümmern. Jahrzehntelanger Sport und dann das. Wenn ich nicht so mit Schnaufen und Schnitt und Lauftechnik beschäftigt gewesen wäre, ich wäre sicher in Tränen ausgebrochen *schluchz*. Auf den Schock musste ich erstmal zwei Tage aussetzen, bevor ich Freitags wieder losgestiefelt bin.

 Abgesehen vom Dienstag jedoch eine recht erfolgreiche Laufwoche. Der lange Sonntagslauf war diesmal tatsächlich etwas länger als geplant. Irgendwie bin ich den letzten Hügel kaum raufgekommen und war zum Ende hin ziemlich dehydriert. Immerhin ist mir der Hungerast erspart geblieben. Hier die Aufzeichnungen:

Learn To Unlearn

Be Brilliant Subject matter expertise has its perks. Being an expert on any field requires deep learning as well as deliberate practice over years and years. The more professional experience you gain the more you'll swap a minimum principle mindset ('What do I need to do to achieve XY?') for a maximum principle ('How much can I possibly achieve with my available resources?'). When I started as a consultant I had a very basic and fragmented knowledge in most of the technical aspects in my subject matter. At the time I was already a certified and experienced supply chain management expert with some merits. However, as the branch I had worked in (military and defence) neither used the latest technology nor had a business model that promoted short development or change cycles in leadership or management, I did not feel 100% competitive. Therefore I faced some serious challenges when I started my career in the private sector.  At the time when I joined a consulting compa...

If It Helps Someone, It's Valuable

The World Is Full Of Problems  This is good news. Actually it is great news. Problems are opportunities for growth - if you are able to find -and successfully apply- the solution to a problem that will help someone in any way, you will inevitably create value. If you can find a solution to a big problem (e.g. cure for cancer) you will create an immense value. If you can find a solution to a not so gargantuan, but widespread problem, you will have created tremendous value. But even if you find a solution to a small problem that will benefit a few people, you might still have the benefit of being able to learn something valuable that you can apply later in the solution of greater problems. Don't let yourself be discouraged by the (lack of) magnitude of problems: keep your eyes open and help people even if they do not approach you proactively - this will invite good things to happen to you in the long run. However not everybody in the workforce seems to have the proclivity to solve pr...

Happiness And Anxiety

Just A Feeling Despite all the drawbacks caused by the pandemic I have to admit that ever since the kids were born I have been feeling more happy in general. To set the stakes even higher, I have already been pretty damned happy ever since I met my wife several years earlier. Maybe it is because the kids fill me with hope that all is good and is steadily improving. Also they give a whole new purpose to everything in my life. I have only really had a few significant stretches where I felt so beaten down or lethargic, that I had issues to motivate myself. There were only three significant times I was struggling with my decisions and had serious doubts that I made the right choices.  Freaking Out In The Barracks The first time was in 1998, when I signed a contract as a contract soldier for 12 years. During my first couple of days with the military the magnitude of my decision sank with the utmost brutality. It totally freaked me out. I spent the first night in some spartan barracks in...
