Mission Statements
Ich will unter keinen Umständen ein Allerweltsmensch sein.
Ich habe ein Recht darauf, aus dem Rahmen zu fallen, wenn ich es
kann.
Ich wünsche mir Chancen, nicht Sicherheiten.
Ich will kein ausgehaltener Bürger sein, gedemütigt und
abgestumpft, weil der Staat für mich sorgt.
Ich will dem Risiko begegnen, mich nach etwas zu sehnen und es zu
verwirklichen, Schiffbruch au erleiden und Erfolg zu haben.
Ich lehne es ab, mir den eigenen Antrieb mit einem Trinkgeld
abkaufen zu lassen.
Lieber will ich den Schwierigkeiten des Lebens entgegentreten als
ein gesichertes Dasein führen, lieber die gespannte Erregung des
eigenen Erfolgs als die dumpfe Ruhe Utopiens.
Ich will weder meine Freiheit gegen Wohltaten hergeben noch meine
Menschenwürde gegen milde Gaben.
Ich habe gelernt, selbst für mich zu denken und zu handeln,
der Welt gerade ins Gesicht zu sehen und zu bekennen, dies ist mein
Werk.
Albert Schweitzer

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves. Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us: It is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
Deliverables
This is the true joy in life
the being used for a purpose you recognised by
yourself as a mighty one;
the being thoroughly worn out before you are
thrown on the scrap heap;
the being a force of nature
instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining
that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of small children;
to earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a better
place, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition;
to know that one life has breathed easier
because you existed.
This is to have succeeded
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live content with small
means;
to seek elegance rather than
luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich;
to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly;
to listen to stars and birds,
to babes and sages, with open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all
bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up
through the common.
William Henry Channing
