Boldog születésnapot, Nagymama

Drága Nagymama,


Közöttünk 1268km van. Mivel nagyon messze vagy, sajnos nem tudok neked személyesen gratulálni a születésnapodra. Már néhány éve nem voltam Magyarországon és így nem volt lehetöségem téged meglátogatni. Sok minden történt, mióta útóljára találkoztunk.

A lányal, akivel útóljára meglátogattalak, összeköltöztünk és összeházasodtunk. Már két kis gyerekünk is van, akikkel én magyarul beszélek. Megértenek mindent, néha ezt azt magyarul is mondják, de persze ritkán fognak szót. Kis ördögök és kis angyalok. Például tegnap elött, amikor megkérdtezem öket, hogy szeretnének e fagyit enni, akkor azonnal igennel válaszoltak, ahol fagylaltot még sose ettek. Azellen ha fogmosásra hívom öket, azonnal szaladnak a francba, pedig fogmosás mindennapi rend. Te három gyereket neveltél fel. Kíváncsi vagyok, milyen tanácsot adnál nekem most.
Nem tudom, mikor foglak legközelebb meglátogatni. Nem tudom, hogy fogom e vinni a kis családomat, ha legközelebb meglátogatlak. De remélem türelmes vagy velem és nem fogsz megharagudni, hogy ilyen sokáig nem jelentkeztem és nem látogattalak meg.

Közöttünk 1268km van. 1268km kevésnek tünik, most hogy már sose tudom neked megmondani, hogy mennyire hiányzol. 1268km semmiek tünik, most hogy nem tudom neked megmondani, mennyire boldog vagyok. 1268km semmi, mert sose tudom neked bemutatni a kis családomat és soha nem fogom neked elmesélni tudni, hogy nekem egész szerencsésen és sikeresen alakult ki eddig sokminden fontos dolog.

Nagyon hiányzol. Nagyon szeretlek. Boldog születésnapot, Nagymama.


Szeretettel,
Dávid

Why I prefer to write in English (and not in German)

The Power of Inclusion My first post on this blog was in German. At the time it was a spontaneous idea to share a unique experience that I knew would mark a significant moment in my life. I shared it foremost with my friends and the members of my sports club. Later I started to write posts in English just to test how it feels. As a German native speaker I only speak English as a second language, so why would I write in English? A simple and obvious explanation is that English is spoken by a lot more people than German. I do not intend this blog exclusively for a German speaking audience. In order to grant access to this content for as many people as possible is of course a very obvious, however not my most important reason. More Eloquence is More Potential for Clutter During my professional experience on multiple international projects and assignments I have realized that English native speakers can sometimes fall into a squabble where they talk a lot but say very little. Especially Am...

How I Stay Motivated pt 1/3

 Why Long Term Motivation Matters Motivation is doing things when you're feeling good. Long term motivation is doing things regardless of how you feel. Jan Frodeno applied a specific motivation method during his preparation for his first Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing, where he won the gold medal in the olympic triathlon. Eventually he went on and won the Ironman World Championship in 2015, 2016 and 2019 in Hawaii applying the very same method to stay highly energized and motivated over a long period of time - over more than a decade to say the least. Here you will find the method he used analyzed. I will show you how I use it and how you can also apply it for your own purposes. Since I am always susceptible to advice on motivation and I have been interested in the topic of self improvement, inspiration and motivation for quite a while. The other day I stumbled upon this interesting method, how to get and stay motivated and instantly felt energized. So I decided to share this piece ...

Art of Leadership #1

The Image of Leadership Whenever I think of the vital aspects of leadership I think of a cartoon sheep with a red tie: the Leadersheep (google it!). Words like values, vision, mission, purpose and all those ingredients flare up in my mind. I think of principles, role models, charismatic people and of Barack Obama. In fact 'What would Obama do?' is a question I sometimes ask myself - first off he would start a sentence and then in the middle pause for a minute. Only when we have to put leadership into action do we realize the first hurdle: communication. For instance change management, admittedly one of the more challenging fields of leadership, is virtually all about the right communication strategy. Mindset of an Agile Leader To be an agile leader you have to be prepared to improve on a daily basis. Take every opportunity and everyone you encounter - every client, colleague, mentor, memo, every email, every pitch, every conversation, status meeting, project kick-off, and so on...
