A Youth and Education within shouting distance of the Wuppertal suspension train, however, evoked lasting sympathies for the County of Berg. Nowadays, I still more or less feel like a Rhinelander. (All locations mentioned here and later on are situated in Germany.) People like this, too, can be enthusiastic for technics - in my case this led to a comprehensive education as a chemist at Bochum university, featuring special delvings in apparative analytical chemistry upon environmental and pharmacological subjects, in atmospherical sciences, molecular biology, data processing, and whatever else appeared manageable.

Nevertheless there were some first hints during my study terms that formulas cannot describe all of this world, and since my entry into official professional life in Hannover I am growing more and more conscious that progress is hardly caused by new techniques, but rather by heads running on ideas, and by humans cooperating. It is the intensification of this thought which I today associate with the term of social competence. In spite of intermediate unemployment, and profiting from an open-minded continuational qualification course as a quality manager I presently take efforts to spread this state of mind within corporations, among other occupations as a personnel trainer. Additional overlaps I conceive in my soaring activities, where the prolonged motivated dedication of many comrades is paramount.
