For me, the right thing has always been in the foreground: to understand how something works and then make it better than it is now. I never really wanted to be better than others, but somewhat better from the current status quo. Doing something better means to change something.

Already at a young age, I was very interested in how things work. My clock radio at the time - what happens when you bypass the fuse? My first computer - can't you change the data in ROM somehow? My first internet - how do I get the computer to talk to the BBBox in Australia?

If someone told me that this would not work, I was all the more interested. Freely based on the motto: "Everybody said it wouldn't work. Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it."

To question, scrutinize, or understand how and why something works require the will to do so. It needs a decision. The decision for something new is always made in the comfort zone. And it always refers to leaving it. I like to do that. I corner with it. Over and over again. But I like doing it. You can also say it briefly with: I am curious.

My curiosity is driven by the desire to do something better. Not just different but more meaningful. And I have noticed that many people would like to do that. But sometimes it is not so easy.

For over 25 years, I have encountered this phenomenon again and again. Ideas have been heard and found to be good. But in the end, they were hardly implemented. Depending on whom you ask and how the result can be more positive or negative.
