Striving for greatness
I have an ‘Agonizing Reappraisal’ of my work and change everything as much as possible — and hate everything I’ve done, and try to do something entirely different and better. Maybe that kind of process is necessary to me, pushing me on and on. The feeling that I can do better than that shit I just did. Maybe you need your agony to accomplish what you do. And maybe it goads you on to do better.
In my work and private life I constantly focus on improving my skills and developing my abilities. In my opinion there is no maximum to be reached, no perfection of any skill or ability achievable. But this should not hold anybody back from trying. I transfer this to my work life by looking for better ways of doing things; better processes. This is really important nowadays, since government regulations on documentation becomes harder to fulfill and cheaper workforce and products are becoming generally available from Asia. With my work I cause documentation to become automated and digitized, while additionally increasing efficiency.
Aside from that I am what most people would call a ‘huge nerd’. For me, that means I love modern tech and science and it’s not important in which area of research it is. Anything from electronics over hardware to – of course – software is interesting to me even in my private life. Mechanics? Sure why not! Thermodynamics? Hell-yeah! Quantum mechanics? Count me in! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I would call myself an expert in all these fields, but it’s good to stay open minded to all these topics. In the end one may even learn something entirely new…
