CURRENT MISSION

getting to know Düsseldorf

ABOUT ME

Well, it's always hard to describe oneself objectively and honestly without it sounding a little egocentric, but I will bypass this problem by writing what friends have said about me:
*** positive: cheerful/relaxed/positive attitude; good sense of humor; good for joyful and interesting conversations; good listener; loyal/honest/reliable; realistic and open-minded views; always up for a good party and cheerful evenings/nights; ability to integrate/team-work; when acting in a group I will show anticipation and give my input but without demanding that all action has to be centered around me.
*** negative (yup, nobody is perfect): tendency to moderate stubbornness (well, I'm a Taurus =); moaning a lot when I'm not feeling well or when things are going wrong; some people say I'm lazy, I call it easy-going

PHILOSOPHY

Hope for the best, expect the worst, then take it as it comes. *** "Imagination is superior to knowledge because knowledge is limited."
(Albert Einstein)
