Yes. Fuck! The year is over and we still had so much planned. What about all the projects? Who\u2019s working over Christmas? An interim presentation has to be ready by January 5, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good thing is that the realization that you\u2019ve piled your plate too high once again doesn\u2019t just apply to the buffet. Because it\u2019s like this every year, we have a company-wide holiday break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes I think it would be nice if this and that still got done. But that\u2019s because I, too, find it hard to switch off. Over the holidays, it\u2019s like an old Windows computer. It takes a while to shut down. Some program<\/strong> is always still stuck in memory, preventing the shutdown. And here I was, wanting to start the recovery program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, right now is that moment: weren\u2019t you going to write a year in review?<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there has to be some wisdom in there too. Damn? What have I learned this year? How many takeaways should there be? Maybe 8? Seems like a good number. It\u2019s Elvis\u2019s birthday, it\u2019s positive, brings double luck (2×4, the number of wholeness) and symbolizes infinity. So you can go around in circles. Perfect. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Better the real thing, then. <\/strong>My wishes to all our partners and clients out there: give us regular time-outs. Give us assignments that tax our brains and challenge us. Share responsibility with us and stand up for the goals together. Let us waste time and resources in order to gain them later. Let\u2019s trust one another, let\u2019s love the tasks, let\u2019s fail and gain experience, then we\u2019ll phoenixize<\/em>. I like that word \u2014 turning a noun into a verb. Sounds kind of intelligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s \u201clive\u201d!<\/strong> Not just this year, but in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear all, my wish for all of you out there: become meaningful. Your destiny is freely chosen. You can perform well or poorly, you can lower or raise your expectations. But if your hands no longer create anything, if you are no longer aware of your own humanity and aren\u2019t there for others, you will become lonely. Then we\u2019ll need more people with big hearts who can reach you \u2013 or Mark Zuckerberg. Because in the metaverse, we create feelings through immersion, change worlds according to our own rules and live in our dream worlds. Those are the worlds in which we believe what we believe and grant no one the right to destroy these images. The IT guidelines see to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks and cheers. By the way, if you\u2019d also like to sort your thoughts a little, you\u2019re welcome to do so with our Moon Shooter game. An exciting way to look back on the year. Maybe we\u2019ll play it at Schaltzeit right at the start of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the year, we didn\u2019t have enough time for it. Unfortunately. That was down to the famous plate from the buffet. I had piled too much on it for us. \u201cBetter to strain your stomach than leave the host a gift.\u201d But isn\u2019t the motto \u201cunderpromise and overdeliver\u201d? \u2014 maybe I\u2019ll learn that next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m hopeful. See you soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
