In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft.
​Manchmal müssen wir einfach den Kopf senken, den Moment genießen und für das dankbar sein, was direkt vor uns liegt. Die Welt da draußen mag laut sein, aber hier zählt nur das goldene Licht der Sonne. Ein kleiner Moment pures Glück.

Gegensätze fordern uns heraus, aber bringen uns auch voran. Sie ordnen die Welt und machen sie fassbar. Gegensätze – das Thema beim Rotary Club Basel. In meiner Rede habe ich einige Gedanken zu einer Welt im Umbruch formuliert. Was, wenn man sich nicht einmal mehr auf Gegensätze verlassen kann?

I’m a very rational person. Obviously. 🙃

Same tune, same smile.
