Wise.com (Transferwise) is not always the cheapest
Vs one of my banks (Postbank): While wise.com is certainly very convenient, it’s probably a good idea to continue to compare it against your bank. The Postbank is doing a good job with it’s fees.
Mitarbeitersuche in 2022 richtig gemacht
Mitarbeiter zu finden ist schwer? Diese Erfahrung habe ich bislang auch gemacht. Ich habe sehr viel Geld (mehrere Tausend €) auf Indeed ausgegeben, ohne sinnvolle Resultate. Auch eBay Kleinanzeigen hat nur mäßige Resultate gebracht. Wir hatten beispielsweise einen Kandidaten da, den ich einstellen wollte – der ist aber am ersten Arbeitstag einfach nicht aufgetaucht, und …
Which lock will your key fit in?
Some people, including myself, get upset if their key (the way they are) does not fit in a particular lock: their romantic advances are spurned by the person of their desire. Locks and keys are “made for each other”, and there are only certain locks which will fit with certain keys. No matter how attractive …

Eventually, everything you own will be dishwasher-safe. How about applying this to friendships and relationships? You know you need certain things from people. For example to respect your …
Insecure attachment styles and control
I’ve had another one of these insights. We all want to achieve certain goals, and essentially control our emotions. Some people use direct methods to do this – for example by setting boundaries, and dissociating from people who disrespect the boundaries. (Thereby essentially setting a harder boundary). And associating with people who are safe & …
Circus animals
A circus consists of: animals acrobats clowns magicians and of course their acts, costumes, the circus tent, popcorn, sweet drinks, etc. did I forget anything? This is a recipe for a circus.
