  1. also #Desiderata 👆 👇

    Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

    Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

    And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

  2. “E, quer você perceba ou não, sem dúvida o universo está se desenrolando como deveria. Portanto, esteja em paz com Deus, seja qual for a sua concepção Dele. E, quaisquer que sejam seus trabalhos e aspirações, na ruidosa confusão da vida, mantenha a paz em sua alma. Com toda a sua falsidade, labuta e sonhos desfeitos, este ainda é um mundo belo. Seja alegre. Esforce-se para ser feliz.”

  4. Ein Text - zeitlos, wertvoll, zuversichtlich. Worauf es wirklich ankommt.

    Desiderata - wer kennt den Text von Max Ehrmann aus dem Jahr 1927?

    Besonders die letzten Zeilen gefallen mir:

    Mit all ihrem Schein, ihrer Plackerei und ihren zerbrochenen Träumen
    ist es dennoch eine schöne Welt.
    Sei heiter. Strebe danach, glücklich zu sein.

    Welcher Teil gefällt dir am meisten?

  8. My name is Marek Gluza, I'm city hopping from Warsaw to Barcelona and can I visit you on 15th June?

    That was the sentence.

    Keep in mind that I had my own funding but this sentence worked much better than:
    Hey there hello hi, I'm Marek and I have my own travel funding from my postdoxtoral fellowship that I sign with the hashtag #PPF and I'm searching for somebody to visit in the week after the 13th June would you maybe be interested to talk like sometime in the morning, not too late, and I'll align my #train itinerary?

    What people don't want:
    - read
    - be annoyed by a possibly annoying weirdo for longer than 1h
    - needing to cover travel costs

    The first sentence does all 3 #desiderata by saying hi I'm city hopping. The rest is reassurance for the other two points because the length is within comfort zone:
    -If you risk putting pressure by proposing a fixed date you gain reassuring that you will hop in and out.
    - And if you're busy hopping in and out clearly you have money for it already.

    Yeah sure I'll meet you, come over that day and my secretary will pass you the info how to find my office, cheers!

    The experience with this sentence is related to how you search for flats in #Berlin. You send an introduction and improve it by #reinforcementLearning until you start receiving answers.

    (2/more): still some thoughts about improving the travel flow and some other thoughts probably coming!
