Don’t talk too much about the things you want to do.
Don’t overthink everything.
Don’t make it more complicated than it has to be.
Don’t stop learning.
Don’t stop trying.
Try harder.
Try smarter.
Don’t say “it’s impossible”.
Move faster.
Do it!
Should I miss anything?
This is my observation. It’s through my aging eyes. Love it or hate it.
Walking through San Francisco makes me sometimes think I’m missing out in so many ways. I’m not 20 anymore. That’s a fact. Everything else is a feeling, not easy to describe, narrow minded and biased.

- No Chrome Bag, no fixie—Car driver

Instead of being angry, I will try to have some fun along the way.
When we decided in 2010 to move to the US, we knew that there would be a ton of things to learn about the new environment. Spending my whole adult life in Germany so far, moving here would need rethinking of some of the basic things in life.
