Shownotes Transcript

In our language, I always notice that compound terms are sometimes very original to funny and that the individual partial terms do not necessarily indicate the compound term. Examples: cheese-cake. Who doesn't think of a salty bite when they think of cheese and of sweets when with cake? Or: roof-top. What else could be topping a roof? But it's the combination that makes it. So individual words not only complement each other, but they create something new, something beyond their actual, original scope. I believe that this is also possible with us humans: depending on who we are with, things are possible in the combination that we ourselves would never have dared to dream. So I wish you for today that you can see, appreciate and exploit the potential that arises in community with others.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
