My birthday wish for September 2nd, 2024 - We need doers 4.0 with rough edges, controversial

In today's world, crises and opportunities often lie close together 🔄. It seems as if the old models that shaped our social and economic system have been shaken 🌍💥. The voices of the dogmatists dominate the mainstream media, raising their cautionary voices and dominating the headlines 📢🗞. But it is precisely in such moments of uncertainty that the opportunity arises to forge new paths, question old ways of thinking, and open ourselves to innovation 🔍💡. The urge for renewal is palpable, and it's time we actively shape it ✨🛠.

🚀 We need makers 4.0 with rough edges, who are argumentative.

We need a generation of doers now, people who don't just talk, but act 🏃‍♂️💬. "Doers 4.0"—that's one way to describe them—are people with character. They're unconventional, they ask questions where others remain silent, and they have the courage to step into the fray 👊🤔. We don't need experts, consultants, or coaches offering advice from a safe distance 👥🚫. What we really need are practitioners who are willing to get their hands dirty, to fail, and to get back up 🏗️🔄. We need a culture of debate based on pragmatism, not ideology 🗣️⚖️. A culture that allows us to question things and not just tolerate suggestions for improvement, but actively demand them 🔄🗨️. "Then do it better!" This should be the new guiding principle at the end of every discussion 📣✨.

📈 German virtues: A legacy that obligates

German virtues are often discussed, and rightly so 🇩🇪✊. Hard work, discipline, and precision are values ​​that have shaped Germany for decades 💼🕰. "Sweat, tears, and success"—this maxim is deeply rooted in our history 💦😢🏆. But these virtues are not exclusively ours. They belong to everyone who strives for success through effort and perseverance 🌎🔝. In a globalized world, they are universal principles that can propel us all forward 🔄🌍.

🌑 The other side of the coin: The vices

But where there is light, there is also shadow ☀️🌑. Alongside virtues, there are also vices, deeply rooted in human nature 💔🙈. And yes, we Germans are not immune to them 🇩🇪⚠️. We tend to present ourselves as world champions of know-it-alls, and when things don't go according to plan, we quickly descend into self-pity 😤📉. This behavior has intensified in recent years. The times when we tackled challenges with optimism and energy seem to be fading into oblivion 🔄🏃. Instead, complaints and resignation dominate the mood in the country 🗣️💔.

💡 Why are we not lazy, but blocked?

It would be wrong to claim that we've become lazy or complacent 🛌🚫. On the contrary, the current bad mood, often interpreted as a sign of lethargy or disinterest, is deeply rooted in real worries and anxieties 😰🔒. Our society is charged with tensions and conflicts that are noticeable in all areas of life 🔌🥊. But instead of tackling these challenges with determination and creativity, we're poisoning the mood with pessimism and cynicism 🌀😒.

🤝 A call for collective action

I am firmly convinced that the day will come when we realize things can't continue like this 📆🌟. That day will force us to look beyond our differences and roll up our sleeves and work together again 👫💪. We will have to remove the obstacles that still block us today 🧱🚶‍♂️. It will be a day when we sweep away collective adversity and remember what has made us strong: the ability to overcome challenges as a community 👥🌪.

🌟 My wish for the future

This day, when we can all work together again, is my biggest birthday wish 🎂🤲. I wish we would stop wallowing in self-pity and instead invest our energy in solutions 🔋📈. I wish we could leave behind the ideologies that divide us and focus on what unites us 🌈🤝. The challenges are great, but they are not insurmountable 🏔️🛣️. If we remember our strengths and revive the virtues that once made us successful, we can overcome this crisis too 💪🔥.

The future belongs not to those who hesitate, but to those who act 👊🌅. Let's become the doers our country needs right now ✊🇩🇪. Let's rediscover the pragmatism that defines us and welcome the day when we face challenges with our heads held high 🚀🌞. This day, I hope, we should look forward to not only for ourselves, but for future generations who depend on our example 🌱🔜.
