Days become harder and tougher each day. 
Beginning last week I called the social department regarding the outstanding incoming funds for the two months I didn’t have a job. In normal case, we’ve got in Switzerland a social department, which gives you an alternative income for the time of max. 400 days. This is a kind of safety net for person who did work for the last two years. You’ll just get something from the department, if you’ve been announced without any own fault. But by now, my old employer Comprendium wrote them, that it has been my own fault – and so I’m no longer allowed to receive funds from this safety net. Finally to cut it down: I’ve to answer back by the law! So again time passes by and I’m left stranded without any cash! I just take each day as it comes and try to survive without to use any money. –But it’s not a living, rather a surviving!
And if this story isn’t enough, my new employer told me, that they’d to postpone (again) the start for Switzerland. Not 4th, also not the 15th of August, now it’s getting September 2008! I rate this ever and anon postponing just simply as unprofessional or even shady. –So I had to make a new decision. Decision if I really want to put up this way and the answer is ‘no’!
What stays?
I need again a new strategy and a new plan how to come along. I guess the best focus is to look forward again and search for something conservative but after all substantial. I need to find an alternative job (try hire/temp-jobs/etc…) till end of this month! It’s a challenge I need to take now!
In the meantime there’s also again light at the end of the tunnel with my private projects. It looks like one of those deals seem to set in. Both counter parties have taken up the proceedings. Their negotiation will start within the next days. As soon they’re clear, the first kickback/provision might be expected by end of 2008 (hopefully even ahead of schedule). –So regarding this issue, I want to ask you to keep your fingers crossed for this project and me! Because when this will start, I can focus again on the substantial belongs of life. Factual I know, that I’m not allowed to expect anything from this (even if the project is by 98% the other 2% aren’t any longer under my management), but it’s an option I’ve opened myself by hard working the last months.
Each person on earth, who tries to live and not only to survive, has spread areas where to focus on. So have I, and I realized that actually more than 50% of my goals for life are set in fields where I have to work on my own person. For example I’ve wrote down:
- Be a man who’s word counts on!
- Always stay over things / be master of the situation
- Be a brilliant master for contract negotiation
- Be a loving person
- Handling/Be wise (spiritual and worldly-wise)
- Etc…
The other ~43% are goals in the area like material luxuries…
A sentence I use over and over again is: “I need to get clarity on what to focus on and what things mean to me!”
Right now this sentence is quite a challenge. On the one side I’ve got the acute financial situation to master and on the other side my career doesn’t set in the way I expected. The true challenge for me is to find the positive things in between to turn them into success. I try to look forward. Stay focused on the areas that need to be handled wisely and not to get caught up by the circumstances.
Today’s motto: Rinasce piu gloriosa / He arises new in bigger glory / Phoenix lat.

Hey my friend.
As you already know as i assume, everything you experience is for learning.
Therefore, as i see it, if you experience how it is to survive in the world as it is, you might have a lost your focus.
Its just like gaming a race game, where you onve gave me a hint.
Keep your focus at the horizont, and you will do automaticly the needed actions to direct the car into the right direction.
Wanted to continoue with another hint, but i'm running out of time now.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
