Hi people. I am excited. This is my first blog. Wow. I
really got started on this project idea now, which I already have carried in my
head and thoughts since longer.
Why did I find it so much interesting, to become
a blogger? First of all, because the frequent sharing of experiences &
insights has since many years anyhow already become an important and pleasant activity
within my normal life routine .
As a consequence of my very energetic
professional and personal activities and because of my rich and constantly
growing collection of all kinds of professional, cultural and personal experiences
and insights, many of my thousands of worldwide friends, business partners and contacts
very frequently confront me with requests for advice, opinion, hints and
comments.
So why not extend this openly to the public and thus extend massively
my existing network of friends and contacts and at the same time collect much
more feedback and learnings for myself? Now I`m right on this highway. But the
beginning was not very easy.
Having woken up much earlier than normal this
morning, but immediately with the firm decision in my head, to set up my blog
and “go live” with it, unexpected obstacles appeared. For the first time since
months my internet connection failed and even when I managed, to establish it
again, it continued to interrupt me from my online activity every once and a
while.
Should I have taken this as a “sign from heaven”, not to become a blogger?
Some of my friends would clearly have interpreted it this way. But that`s not
my way of thinking and acting. I took it just as another challenge, which has to be
overcome successfully in order to reach my objectives and realize my
intentions. No way out – many times in my personal and professional life such
very challenging and hindering surprises have appeared and – as we altogether can
see happily – could be overcome by me successfully.
Thus I took it as just one more unsuccessful attempt, to stop me from doing, what I wanted and what I was convinced that I needed
to do. “After action satisfaction” – I really love this frase, which I catched
up from a huge outdoor cigarette advert, when I participated in a student exchange programme
in South Africa about 40 years ago.
The world and for sure my life have changed
completely since then. But my admiration for this stupid advert frase has not
changed during all this time and my deep conviction, that You have to allow
Yourself some nice moments after You have accomplished some important work or after
having had great success with getting an important problem solved, continues.
This easens for You to understand, why I am happily drinking a nice cup of my
beloved indian chai tea now, feeling a real winner and enjoying the beautiful sunrise just starting outside for opening this wonderful new day. Please keep always in mind, that You
don`t need to win the Iron Man in order to feel a winner.
There`s plenty more and much easier opportunities for You every day during Your normal life and job for having success and becoming able to feel a winner. Now You know about this launch of my blog, some of the
reasons for having gotten started on doing so and even a little bit about some
of my general motivations, inspirations and feelings.
And I would like to give
You a very warm welcome to my new blog experiment. No chance for this to fly
without all of You as my readers, followers, friends, dialog partners. Please give me Your highly appreciated feedback !
I´ll
close this now for today and come back to You again tomorrow with my 2nd
publication in this blog. By the way – You can also find and contact me in
linkedin, XING and Instagram. Who knows, other social media appearances will
follow. I wish You a great and very successful day. And don´t forget – “After
action satisfaction” !

Congrats for the your initiative!!!
I can not speak english very well, but I am study that a lot to learn! It is never too late to learn something and it took me a long time to dedicate myself to it.
I have read many of your publications and for sure this blog will be another way to help me in my development.
I will always remember this phrase "After action satisfaction"
Thank you!

Ederson
Klaus, you never stop to surprise me!!!
It will be a pleasure to read your long journey of experiences.
Thanks to share them.
As always I expect to keep learning from you.
Un abrazo amigo…
Soy Edgardo…
I had not the least doubt that You could easily live with my recommendation to celebrate success with "After action satisfaction", my brother. Finally have both been born in Kaiserslautern ! God save the Pfalz !
Hi Everton, no idea what`s Your issue with Your English. For me this looks perfect. Congrats. Good to have Your support. Hope I can give You more inspirations.
Thanks, Alex. You are one of the most important supporters for my blog as You are our IT Manager and must keep Vulkan do Brasil`s servers running perfectly. Now this has become even more crucial for me. By the way, this morning`s internet blackout was because of my private internet provider Vivo`s disturbances and had nothing to do with our excelent IT services within the Vulkan Group.
Muito obrigado, grande guerreiro da Vulkan Couplings no Rio de Janeiro. Sempre juntos ! Desejo sucesso.
1000 Thanks, Eduardo.
Unfortunately I can`t see Your name, but anyhow I thank You for Your beautiful supportive message. Congrats – You made it. You`re one of the persons, who sent me messages upon my post no 1. I will recall all of You in the future. Great to have You here together with me.
Boa tarde Diego, muito legal sua mensagem, já que voces caras da CW tem coresponsabilidade pelas minhas x viajens do mundo durante os últimos 6 anos desde que assumi a presidencia da Vulkan do Brasil em Itatiba. Más fique com calma. Isso tudo vai aparecer aqui.
Muito obrigado pela mensagem, Ederson. A nossa luta continua !
Get prepared for a nice journey, my unfortunately unknown friend. If my experiences can be helpful for anybody, this would make me extremely satisfied and happy.
Beleza Egardo, pero tengo muuuuuuchos amigos Edgardo. Pero estoy seguro que eres Edgardo Peniche, de Sonora, Mexico. Siempre muy bueno para mi, recordar de nuestras experiencias durante la construccion y el start-up de la planta de BOS en Irapuato, Guanajuato. De veras eso era más una planta de logistica do que industrial. Por eso tu como Gerente de Logistica eres persona llave dentro de nuestro equipo. Cuanta locura vivimos durante este periodo de 2006 hasta 2009. Nunca olivadare nuestras aventuras y los tantos tequilas que siempre nos consolaron el alma. Cuidate, amigo !
No doubt, Riccardo. After just 1 publication in my blog I`m already very happy and satisfied. You know, how good it feels, to accomplish dreams You have carried inside You for long time already. Now I`m out on stage with this. Yeah……
Parabéns pela iniciativa Klaus!
Será um prazer acompanhar seu blog e conhecer suas vivências uma vez que você é um grande líder e exemplo a ser seguido!!
Muito obrigado, prezado companheiro e amigo Arno. Agora já levamos 5 anos de trabalho em conjunto pela expansão das nossas vendas industriais Vulkan Drive Tech na América Latína, o seja no México, na América Central, no Caribe e na América do Sul toda. Isso tudo dará muita matéria muito interessante para os meus seguidores e leitores nesse blog. Grande abraço desde Vinhedo
Hola Klaus, mucho éxito en tu nueva experiencia… saludos
Soy Juan Zamora, también ex-BOS IRA, cómo Edgardo

Hi people, I am still discovering the more advanced functionality of the blogger system and google itself. Thus system adjustment improvements will definitely come during the next days. Several important friends sent me their comments by email, because they found difficulties, to post these in my blog. In order not to loose these, I copy them by myself in the comments now.
Comment from my South African friend Leon Olwage (look Leo up in linkedin) : I wanted to post but the google had a niggle and the post was not allowed: “ Wow what a bold step forward. I am looking forward to the insights you will share with us. In the very challenging world we found ourselves today, we need all the know how to survive and even flourish, in the face of adversity. Very well done for stepping into the precipice and spreading your wings !!! Your post is abundant with your hallmark energy by which we recognize you Klaus"
Comment from my German friend (& former GEA colleague) Reimund Gatzke (look him up in linkedin): "Klaus, ich habe Probleme dir im Block zu antworten.. darum hier:
Hello Klaus, I congratulate you on this idea of becoming a blogger. That may sound silly now, but people like you will have to write at some point about what you want to experience, feel, get angry, improve and experience more. I count myself, as certainly many of your friends and contacts to people who have experienced a lot of good and bad, successes and failures through your traveling professional activity. But the special thing is that we were able to experience all of this with people from different cultures, nations, skin colors and religions. As a result, we have developed a human image of all of us that only lets us see people without all the shabby discrimination. Go on … By the way, my saying is: Without a low point, there is no high point."
Comment from my German friend Philipp Scherer: "Gefällt mir gut, dein Projekt. Es kommt auch der ursprünglichen Idee des WWW wieder näher… Jeder präsentiert sich selbst und nicht so sehr im vorgegebenen Rahmen von Social Networking Plattformen. Obwohl diese zweifelsfrei ihre Vorteile besitzen"
Thank You very much, my friend with invisible name, for this trustful compliment. I will definitely not disappoint You tomorrow with my next post. Be prepared…..
1000 Tks for Your important support for my new blog project. Tomorrow I will give You some very helpful insights.
Querido Klaus ,
Meus mais sinceros parabéns pela iniciativa . Sempre aprendemos tanto com a sua experiência e vivência e esse blog irá impulsionar essa troca ainda mais ! Abraços
Muito obrigado, amiga Loana. Essa era exatamente a minha intenção quando resolvi fazer o "go live" do meu blog. Seu elógio altissimamente agradecido turbina meu orgulho e a minha força espiritual para continuar com esse blog. Desejo um ótimo dia e muiiiiiiiito sucesso para voce.
Wonderful to remember places and people, also listening to stories, thank you
Thank You very much for Your highly appreciated and motivating comments, Ayelen. I think that this is exactly the difference between money and experiences – in the case of richness in money people normally don`t want to share it with others, but experiences only make You feel rich, if You share these with other people.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.
