Willkommen 2023

My first post in 2023. It is already February and I did not write down my thoughts yet.

Since January I am living again with my brother and sister in small apartment.

Reason: In November 2022 the current "manager" kick me off.

It was a very nice job because I was working from home (WFH) and I learned something very true;

The Jobs oder die Arbeitnehmmer von einer Firma are not secure !

I see some possible scenarios in my life:

- Keep learning the german language until B2 Zertifikat schaffen kann

  (B2 für eine Ausbildung, C1 ein Master auf Deutsch in Deutschland studieren)

- Obtain the programming language certification (Java / Python) ** research the market **

- Start the Nachhaltig GTM Tour (Antigua, Atitlan and Paredon) online

- Training and go to Europe to do my first halb-marathon en Berlin (February, Marz, April, Mai)

- Master degree in Mexico, Costa Rica o España

- Django REST API  and React to build APP  

- Mix Music (become a DJ. A Dj's Job is to bring energy to an event, getting people engaged in the music)

 

Year: 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 =~ Piece of land and business is already working ...

A few quotes

 "Plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers." —Jose Luis Borges

"Ask yourself if what you're doing today will get you closer to where you want to be tomorrow."—Anonymous

"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here, we should dance."—Anonymous

When you move from one country to another you have to accept that there are some things that are better and some things that are worse, and there is nothing you can do about it. – Bill Bryson

Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time. – Hannah Arendt

By contrast, you might find yourself torn, knowing you want to be in your expat home but you miss your home country enough to think you could move back there and be happy. It’s easy to see all the good things and none of the bad, just like a holiday in any other location.

Thoughts in my notebook

I started to write my notes and thoughts in my notebook. Maybe some day I will have the opportunity to write a book about my path in Germany and EU

Paredon Beach - Surf Camp 🏄

Be like water my friend, be like water.

And go with the waves !! The nature teaches me that, Do not force things!

Do whatever It makes you feel GOOD and happy 🙋

- I got a Tatto 💪

- I got a Job in Germany 🥨

- Soon I will get my German test ✍

Go as long as you don´t stop !

Sense of belonging

 Again, thanks for the "Kundigung" - sarcasm- 

Do not forget, enjoy the way and learn it. That´s the life, exactly! At least in Germany

How do you feel? They made you believe that, you are qualified with the Interviews, Feedbacks and Good Welcoming so that later after two months working: Hey Mister, you don´t go anymore with us !!!
Very hard feeling ! You do not belong to us ...

- Zugehörigkeitsgefühl
- Sense of belonging
- Sentido de pertenencia
