When he entered the house, he found even bigger mess. The lamp [...]

I bought a Benetton shirt 22 years ago and I was wearing that shirt every summer… That shirt was with me everywhere: Greece (mainland and islands), Egypt, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Tunisia, Mallorca, Turkey, Italy, Holland, France, Germany, Canary Island (Lanzarote, Furertaventura, Gran Canaria) etc…
My “lucky shirt”…
All those years the colors didn’t change (during so many washings, sun…!!!)! [...]

 I have a dream…
We all know that phrase from Marten Luther King, but don’t we all have dreams? The moment we could think our dreams were borne.
Once, they were so important to us, that we were sure that our dreams will become true. But we were running all the time “here and there”, worrying about [...]

Fabulous summer drink! Or should I say: summer, winter, autumn or fall, is it important? Mojito for all seasons :)
Mojito cocktail is at the top of my favorite drink list (if you didn’t realize that from my first sentences:))

I show compassion and understanding for client’s problems. They are totally occupied with them. Most of the time, at the beginning, they only talk about problems, not about “Let’s find a solution”. In that phase, I show them that I am “with them” with: 
“I know how you feel” or
“I would feel the same” or
“I would [...]

Barbara by Jacques Prevert
Remember, Barbara,
It was raining unceasingly on Brest that day,
And you were walking, smiling,
Lighted up, delighted, streaming,
Under the rain.

You were smiling,
And I was smiling likewise.
Remember, Barbara,
You whom I didn’t know,
You who didn’t know me,
Remember,
Remember though that day.
Don’t forget.
A man was sheltered [...]

At this moment I need desperately help from some experts. From you … clever women. 
To start: I’m not a clever woman but just a man and I’m living with a clever woman.
So you would say: “Lucky you” and I’m agreeing with that. Normally it’s wonderful to live with her….I really adore her, but once a [...]

Pink, navy blue or red, funky design laptops are so stylish, cool and even sexy! Just because they are mini or colorful, doesn’t mean they are different quality than big black or gray laptops. There is absolutely no difference at all!

I spent 2 days searching for Theme for this blog. That’s me… I need time to find something where or in what I can recognize myself. But, compared to how much time I need to choose bikini, that’s nothing. For your info, I was searching for bikini 3 months! But, I found it!

I express admiration when they are talking about their successful projects, tips&tricks, improvisation what they made in order to solve the problem… 
Most of people (I am trying not to say “everyone”) have the need for admiration (moderate form of “Narcissistic personality disorder” in this case ) 
So, I use phrases like:
“That’s wonderful! How you did [...]

When my daughter was 5 years old, she adored to eat chicken. When somebody asked: “What shall we eat tonight?” No matter or she was playing or watching television, that question was for her the opportunity to yell “CHICKEN!”  
During a vacation in the South of Germany with friends, my daughter was showing again her addiction [...]

They always have to think so difficult. We were talking many times about that subject, but he stayed by his opinion that [...]

So, let say that we all know: “There are no stupid questions”. 
I always start with: “This may be a stupid question, but…”
People always answer with:” Not at all” or “There are no stupid questions”  
On that way I prevent misunderstanding, I show them that I am listening (what is not always true ), [...]
