Presenting, public speaking, participating in discussions, and stating one’s own opinion is harder for some people than for others. I never had a problem to present my ideas in front of an audience. Public speaking has never been a problem
(more…)for me. Many other people are desperately afraid to do all these things. While they might have a strong opinion about something they are not able to express it. They are tremendously intelligent but they cannot present their amazing ideas to team members, work associates, their boss or professor. -

Please note that the whole text only applies to students and educations systems where the education is completely free; in this example Germany.

Usually, I try to call back every call but two days ago I thought: “If it was important they would’ve left a voice mail”. Yes, you are right, they didn’t leave a voice mail. So I forgot about calling these numbers back.

Since the last Wikileaks leak about the CIA, I talked to a handful of people about privacy. Shockingly this is the recap of most responses: “I don’t care if the CIA or NSA is spying on me, I have nothing to hide”. Just because you don’t have anything to hide doesn’t make privacy less important. Here is why you should care about your privacy.

In this blog post, I would like to point out my own opinion on why I think that our current education system is pushing many students into one specific direction.

During the last 7 weeks, I was freelancing as an Oculus Rift brand ambassador. That’s a pretty cool title, isn’t it? Well, the title brand ambassador is pretty American. What I actually did was giving product demonstrations to interested customers.

As I opened the Messenger app today I saw a friendly face of a friend in a rectangle on top of all messages. I clicked on it and it was another Snapchat cloned feature. The same “story” feature we already know from Snapchat, Instagram, and most recently WhatsApp.
