Expert clarification: Keep a small logbook in the future where you enter surprises that occur in the fields you count as your circle of competence. These unexpected events are particularly valuable. If you research these, you will get important impulses for fundamental improvements. | Expert clarification: Keep a small logbook in the future where you enter surprises that occur in the fields you count as your circle of competence.

== The Second Drop. Essence. == | |||
Pursue joy. | |||
Feel the power. | |||
Use technique. | |||
Create. | |||
These four lines are the second drop. Your raised index finger reminds you of their essence. It is, if you will, the core of our manifesto. Now that you have already digested the first drop, this second drop will be even easier for you. You can see at first glance that we only have a simple quartet here, and just like with the first drop, it's a flow. It flows from the first player to the fourth player. | |||
Pursue joy, for joy is where your strength lies. The critics among you will now object that one can only achieve something by gritting one's teeth, fighting through, and continuing such emphatic gymnastics. Of course, for most, it is not a joy to do the accounting, but every successful company and the founders of these companies have not created what they have created by forcing themselves to do the unpleasant. Unfortunately, this is the insidious thing about our strengths: we find them so hard to recognize because our strengths come easily to us. Our weaknesses, on the other hand, constantly attract our attention. In short: Pursue joy! What could be more beautiful? Let joy guide you. Choose what comes easily to you. By doing this, you follow your strength and you are on the right path. When you pursue joy, you move from "must" and "should" to "want." | |||
Feel the power. As soon as you follow joy, you feel the power. It's another indicator of being on the right path and for the good cause. There can be setbacks, small and large. There may be a difficult phase, shorter or longer. But you feel this power, which functions like a way marker for you and calls out to you: Bravo! Keep going! Straight ahead! | |||
Use technique, because now you are ready for it. Before we can pay attention to this player, we want to look at what we mean by technique. Technique is derived from the Greek Techne: art and craft. For us, technique is the unity of wetware, hardware, and software. Techniques as systems. This is how we understand technique. Technique includes language, processes, and descriptions. Perhaps autogenic training is a technique for you that helps against back pain, or perhaps it's a special software that helps you collect ideas. Technique as a personal process of adding and omitting. If you're annoyed by the neighbor's mumbling in the reading room, use earplugs. Technique always offers us new possibilities that you can use. | |||
Now everything is prepared to call the king of players, the greatest magician of all time, to the stage. So please, let's have a loud rumbling of thunder, bright lightning, and great applause: | |||
Create! | |||
Create is the core and Create is the pinnacle. All our values - joy, understanding, technology - support this one value. Create. We mean creating with hands, with words, or with the mind. Creating as the center. Creating as the goal and great value. What is characteristic in a Swabian and what he describes as "work, work, building a little house" seems to us today outdated and above all petit bourgeois. But the common saying touches on an essential core, and we should not be mistaken here. Whether you want to build a house or program software, whether you want to paint something new or whether it is a realization you want to achieve. Create is a space. Reality is your space. You can fill this space at any moment. You are the creator and you are this magician. | |||
