Because I also want a site of my own, where I share things with anyone who wants to read it without another organization filling in a business model. I want to explain things simply. It can help to choose simple accessible examples or metaphors. I keep it light-hearted, I challenge and some playful nonsense can do wonders
As I write this, I’m realizing that “defining myself” is very difficult. Describing others comes easily to me, but when it comes to myself, I have to search for those things I take so for granted that I don’t find them worth mentioning.
First and foremost, I’m a husband and a father. I also lead a professional life as a designer and consultant at Atos (you can find more about that on LinkedIn).
My true passion lies in my role as bassist for a local big band. That’s also where the “dominant in the background” characterization comes from, and that’s also where I struggle most with the urge to be ahead of the pack. If I keep paying attention and practicing, I’ll learn that too.
Edition 1. No physical distribution so no problem if I want to change something.
Corrections and additions; the possibilities are almost unlimited. The hierarchy of a book where you have to organize from the top left of the first page to the bottom right of the last page; not an issue.
So…If you are interested, read it at your own pace and order, come back every now and then and if you want to enter into dialogue, find me by telephone, web or person. These discussions on the page itself often lead to insults and irrelevant nuisance, so that function is turned off.
I’ve learned a lot in my life, and that learning truly began when I quit school just before my 17th birthday. Until then, they taught me to read, write, and do arithmetic. Interests were sparked in broadening my general knowledge. I thank those teachers for that, and I wasn’t always the easiest student. However, school isn’t my thing. As a self-starter at heart, I learn by observing. Interest equals studying at my own fast pace.
