be average

Sei durchschnittlich. I am pretty Good in being pretty average. At many things. That is my skill. My superpower.

How to get there? (Yeah, a motivational thought articles.)

I did some frontend jobs. I was and still am pretty average (ok, worse) but: This skill helps me in the talks with devs and clients.

I studied Music Management and i guess made some music. Pretty average. But compared to everyone else i am a nerd. Nerds will know pretty early that i am not part of their club... but closer than 99%. So: i am a nerd in being average.

Overall i am able to translate between specialised units. But can never be a part. And this is great!

Specialists are under- and overrated — Hard to integrate. Go the unnecessary extra mile. Expensive. Same for generalists. What can they do?

So let me help you become more average. And exceptionally good at it ;)

Read diverse: the more we are stuck in our own filter bubble the less broad we learn. We might dig deeper into a specific topic but we will lack global understanding.

Diverse Findings: If you want to get to know what is out there outside your filter bubble and especially things you are not naturally interested in there must be a connection. I would highly recommend refind to find out about new things.

Try to be a fan. And then hate it: to get deep into any topic, you must fall in love with it. But to not fall into the love trap try to hate it afterwards. It will enable you to find a distant thinking and reflection.

Little projects: Most topics are related around repition and actually “doing” it. You need deep work rather than just reading about it. “How does media buying work? How can i run 10k below one hour? How hard is it to learn chinese?” All of the answers to questions can be answered quite easy. With a 5€ media invest. A few runs in the morning. A trial time with babbel.

You are a project: In the end we are nothing more than a project on its own. We don’t really know the scope of it but we can learn a lot about the resources and achievements on the journey to purpose.
