Personal description:
In the year 1942, on the 16th day of December, I was born in Hamburg, Germany - in the middle of a bomb-raid! The following time as refugee has surely left its trace in my subconscious, as some people will call me restless, while others will call me ”very flexible and adaptive” - which can be more or less the same thing...
At least any new challenge will get me to highest performance, while routine is virtually killing me.
The struggle for survival immediately after the war (together with some genes) have created another pattern in the brain: the constant and automatic search for alternatives - how can this thing be used / misused for a total different purposes than it was intended for? - how can it be simplified and still do the same job? - what is the smallest common denominator for this problem? In other words: the ability to find the best way around...
