[ENG/DEU] Day 13: The Best Thing You Heard Today Is... (win 1 HSBI for it! Or 2? NEW: Up to 4!)

Welcome to a new round in which we want to share quotes, views and impulses with each other. Thank you also for your participation in the last round! So I'm looking forward to new impulses in today's post - and I think I've brought you something good again. Cheers to you!

Willkommen zu einer neuen Runde, in welcher wir Zitate, Ansichten und Impulse miteinander teilen wollen. Vielen Dank auch für die Beteiligung in der letzten Runde! Somit freue ich mich auf neue Impulse im heutigen Posting - und ich glaube, ich habe euch wieder etwas Gutes mitgebracht. Auf Dich!

NEW as of today:

@lordshah has agreed to donate 5 HIVE/HSBI to this cause. That is what I call a hivian! This gave me the idea to introduce this in general. So if you like, you can now send HIVE to PowerPaul and I'll raffle them off within this campaign.

As a thank you, I will list the current sponsors here and visit the sponsor's profile(s) again and again during the active sponsorship period and leave a vote if the articles on the sponsor's blog are suitable. It's all about give and take.

The intention of @lordshah was to increase the prize money for participants. Therefore, I will not only give away one HSBI per day, but select two winners. As always, if you have also written an article about your comment here (please include the link in the comment), you will win 2 HSBIs. This means that we will be giving away a maximum of 4 HSBIs a day as part of this promotion. And just to clarify: I only ever use one HSBI from a sponsor per day. I continue to pay the rest out of my own pocket.

Ab heute NEU:

@lordshah hat sich dazu bereit erklärt, 5 HIVE/HSBI für diese Aktion zu spenden. Das nenne ich einen Hivian! Das hat mich auf die Idee gebracht, dies generell einzuführen. Wenn du magst, kannst du nun also HIVE an PowerPaul senden und ich verlose diese hier innerhalb dieser Aktion.

Als Dank dafür werde ich die aktuellen Sponsoren hier auflisten und immer wieder während der aktiven Sponsorzeit das/die Profil/e der Sponsoren besuchen und ein Vote hinterlassen, sofern die Artikel auf dem Blog des Sponsors dazu geeignet sind. Soll ja alles ein Geben und Nehmen sein.

Der Wille von @lordshah war es, die Gewinnsumme für Teilnehmer zu steigern. Daher werde ich pro Tag nicht nur einen HSBI verlosen, sondern zwei Gewinner auswählen. Wie immer gilt: solltest du auch einen Artikel über deinen Kommentar hier geschrieben haben (den Link dazu bitte in das Kommentar mit einfügen), dann gewinnst du 2 HSBI. Somit kommen wir auf maximal 4 HSBI täglich, welche innerhalb dieser Aktion verlost werden. Und nur zur Klarstellung: pro Tag nutze ich immer nur einen HSBI von einem Sponsor. Den Rest zahle ich weiterhin aus der eigenen Tasche.

"Above all, I start my morning with something new and creative, whatever it may be, according to my ability. But the biggest and best thing is that I try to give most of my time to my beloved family. Which I consider one of the best things to do."

"I heard two elderly ladies outside as I was getting up. They were talking about how it must be the second house. I immediately thought of the doctor a whole row away and opened the window and told the ladies where the doctor was. They thanked me warmly and left. Should I have done that? No, but it doesn't hurt and somehow feels good. A few days ago I had a truck driver at work who didn't really understand what I wanted from him. I then spoke to one of his colleagues on his cell phone and the whole back and forth lasted a good 10 minutes. I was pretty calm and chilled. When we were finished, my colleague said that she would have freaked out long ago because the man didn't understand and she admired the fact that I remained so calm.
Just two of several situations I've experienced in the last few days where a friendly, helpful or calm manner was always better than the opposite. Most people appreciate it.

Be friendly and helpful!"

"The best thing I heard today was a podcast about mathematics and society. I listened to the first two episodes, one about Thomas Fuller, a black slave in the United States, gifted in mental arithmetic who unwittingly participated in the abolition of slavery, and another episode about Florence Nightingale, who invented the graphic presentation of statistics to demonstrate nosocomial risks."

"I always like to read one quote a day and reflect on it, it helps me to better face my day to day, today's quote:

Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

"One of the best things about working with kids is getting to watch children be amazed at the world. As an adult it is so easy to never really appreciate just how cool nature is or how fun splattering paint on canvas can be. And while I cant step into that naivety entirely I am so grateful that I am reminded rather often."

About This Content Campaign: I often notice something valuable - be it a thought, a sentence, a quote or a moment. I want to share these things. Why? For you. And if you like, you can join in: What’s the Best Thing You Heard, Read, Saw, Thought, or Felt Today? Post it in the comments – and win an HSBI (or two)! I’ll randomly give away one or two HSBI per day to a sincere entry. I’ll also publish a small selection of highlights from time to time. Rules It doesn’t matter how you came across your inspiration – heard, read, seen, felt, thought... it all counts. Your entry can be a picture, a quote, a story, a line from a song – anything meaningful to you. If it’s a quote, please include the original author/source. How Winners Are Chosen I won’t judge which comment/posting is “best” – that’s subjective. I’ll simply pick one at random. If your entry is sincere and gets picked, you’ll win 1 HSBI. If you also write a full post about it (outside the comments and include a link to it), you’ll receive 2 HSBI. Why This Campaign? Because even small things can have a big impact: a meaningful quote, a thoughtful moment, a tiny spark of inspiration. Maybe you’ll remember something important. Maybe you’ll discover something new. Maybe someone else will be touched by your contribution. Thank You for Your Contribution! Zur Aktion Ich nehme oft etwas Wertvolles wahr – sei es ein Gedanke, ein Satz, ein Zitat oder ein Moment. Diese Dinge möchte ich teilen. Warum? Für Dich. Und wenn Du magst, kannst Du mitmachen: Was ist das Beste, was Du heute gehört, gelesen, gesehen, gedacht oder empfunden hast? Schreib es in die Kommentare – und gewinne einen HSBI! Ich werde täglich einen HSBI unter den ernsthaft gemeinten Beiträgen verlosen. Besonders schöne Beiträge werde ich gelegentlich gesammelt veröffentlichen. Regeln • Egal, ob Du etwas gehört, gelesen, gesehen, gefühlt oder gedacht hast – alles zählt. • Dein Beitrag kann ein Bild, ein Zitat, eine Geschichte, ein Liedtext oder etwas ganz anderes sein. • Bei Zitaten gib bitte den Urheber oder die Quelle an. Gewinnauslosung Ich will nicht beurteilen, was der "beste" Kommentar/Posting ist – das ist subjektiv. Ich ziehe per Zufall. Wird Dein ernst gemeinter Beitrag gezogen, bekommst Du 1 HSBI. Wenn Du zusätzlich einen eigenen Beitrag (z. B. einen Blogpost) dazu verfasst, bekommst Du 2 HSBI. Warum das Ganze? Weil auch kleine Dinge Großes bewirken können: ein bedeutungsvolles Zitat, ein Gedanke, ein kleiner Impuls. Vielleicht erinnerst Du Dich an etwas Wichtiges. Vielleicht entdeckst Du etwas Neues. Vielleicht berührst Du mit Deinem Beitrag einen anderen Menschen.

My Contribution for Today:

... is a paradox. Because my contribution for today is not a contribution. But I'll explain that - and then make it a post again...

Sometimes you just have to say: “I'm off work now”. Especially if you work on your own account. You could always carry on. But at some point you should just say to yourself: "No, not today. Now I'm going to play with my children, spend time with my partner, take the dog for a walk, play music, read a book, sit in the sun, go into town and flirt with the fruit seller and invite her for an ice cream, take care of my health or or or or." That sort of thing. Is there such a thing as “doing nothing”? Isn't idleness sometimes a valuable and meaningful activity? Maybe...

In any case, I'm now programming lights for an event I have on Thursday... You know... DJ PowerPaul!

Mein Beitrag für Heute ...

... ist ein Paradoxon. Denn mein Beitrag für heute ist kein Beitrag. Das erkläre ich aber - und mache es dann doch wieder zu einem Beitrag...

Manchmal muss man auch einfach sagen: "Feierabend jetzt". Insbesondere, wenn man auf eigene Rechnung arbeitet. Man könnte immer noch weitermachen. Aber irgendwann sollte man sich auch einfach mal sagen: "Nee, heute nicht. Jetzt spiele ich mit meinen Kindern, verbringe Zeit mit dem Partner, gehe mit dem Hund spazieren, mache Musik, lese ein Buch, setze mich in die Sonne, gehe in die Stadt und flirte mit der Obstverkäuferin und lade sie zu einem Eis ein, kümmere mich um meine Gesundheit oder oder oder." Sowas halt. Gibt es überhaupt "nichts tun"? Ist nicht auch Müßiggang manchmal eine wertvolle und gehaltvolle Tätigkeit? Mag sein...

Ich in jedem Fall, programmiere jetzt Lichter für ein Event, welches ich am Donnerstag habe... You know... DJ PowerPaul!
