RE: TELEPHONEBOOKS
Thank you for this surprise in the form of a generous and thoughtful response from you to this blog post. I was looking forward to writing, because I had intended to introduce the project from the beginning, but something else developed out of it. It's beautiful that you read it so attentively and that you resonated with it.
I don't want to spend my valuable lifetime discussing inequality, it diminishes my own well-being, although I have a sense of justice. But we all know very well that truly outstanding works usually come from those who have become famous as a result. Jealousy is a mistake in place, one can rather be inspired. Why regret that perhaps one has remained below one's potential, when life is good enough? It's not a question for you, because it seems that you have also recognized this for yourself. Hence the emphasis on the ordinary, which always has something special in it, if you decide to look at it that way.
I am very pleased with the length of your commentary and always happily receive extensive texts. I am interested in the myth-related stories you spoke about. Do you want to write about them?
Yes, it is, as you say, a positive attitude aimed at achieving complacency. You could also call it a kind of healthy selfishness that never envies, but always enjoys, when people reach other people in an encouraging and motivating way. Through art, architecture, literature.
I looked at your pictures yesterday and want to write you a comment. They are really very good.
Is the telephone book you are mentioning is the same telephone directory that known in some other places which gets you the address, telephone number of all the people area wise/tel: exchange wise. And the same company was spending money to promote it?
Yes, it is exactly the phone book. Telekom used to have the monopoly and is one of the most long-established companies. They have a lot of money and through the advertising business in the books probably also made some profits. For the students that was quite an attractive price. We also realised some other very interesting and above all fun projects with other PR clients. I like to remember this creative work, which was very stimulating at the time (when I was in my mid/late twenties).
Warm greetings to you to ... ?
P.S. if you have questions about marketing, I will gladly answer them as far as I am able.
You are right in what you mentioned about inequality. We should not discuss it, it someone tries it only give you an impression of either self degrading or boasting. Let society take care of it in the way as it is!
True, positive attitude always spreads positive energy to others too.
I am really happy you responded to my reply with so much energy. Really the post was special for the construction part too. When this program happened? So many years back? It was having every ingredient to make it a project or alteast a seminar for Civil Engineerig students.
I will write about the myths later. I have the story and need to pick the pieces and put together. Also, will write about my requirement later and I would be happy to get some tips from you.
I am really happy to meet you over here and looking forward to more insights from you.
Finally, a note about your picture as I intentionally not written there. It looks really good. A matured face with mysterious smile spreading positive energy-
Have a good day

I wouldn't go that far. But I don't want to deliberately misunderstand you. To be synchronous is a striving that we all like to follow when we confirm ourselves positively. But there is also a danger of flattering each other.
The program was created in 1999 and was a very real opportunity for the students to obtain a certificate for their architecture studies. This project was incorporated into their studies as a grade. That's why I found the combination of public relations and a real, beneficial action so attractive. It wasn't a pseudo thing, it was part of the experience of reality of all participants. Learning was practiced here and not theorized. Many of the other PR projects that I accompanied had a primarily consumer-oriented goal, the brands for which I developed concepts and implemented measures usually had a higher sales volume for their products in mind or an upgrading of their image among consumers. Nobody really needs to do that, one could at most positively note that many jobs and thus the income of many people are paid by it and people secure their standard. It is a business that modern societies actively run. Products are manufactured and want to find a market in competition.
In the picture you can see me in my mid-twenties. It's a very old photo and I don't identify anymore with the appearance of that time. I look very different today, I will be fifty next year. I thank you for the compliment, but: laughter! There is really nothing mysterious about my expression, I think. It shows a young woman at work smiling at the photographer.
I'm looking forward to your story.
P.S. Today I am not in that business anymore. I work as a social consultant for single and family affairs. What is your profession?
Not to misunderstand in any way. When you covered so many insights, I was just highlighting one more aspect of how human beings that are could be on the same side of thought process by many people irrespective of so many differences and indifferences.
From few photos you had posted on that program, I senced that it might not be latest but slightly older, that is a reason I asked that question. And I am really surprised it is almost two decades. I would not believe about that 8m span bridge if it was not with that sketch and the cross sectional details. Still it is amusing me wondering what type of gum or technology u people might had been used then.

In a way it is a mismatched combination between your profession what you mentioned and the project. I would say even now many people may not think in the way you people had concieved that project.
Marketing is one of the crucial part of any business and infew lines you tried to give those lessons here. Thank you.
And regarding the photo, of course it was a compliment for sure just to conclude the lengthy replies on a funny note. haha... nothing mysterious in it!
I am a Civil Engineer by Profession and last month I jumped into a startup just last month. I need some input regarding that busines which I will make a blog in detail.
And dont worry age is just a number as I too will reach 50 by next year, exactly on Jan. 2nd.
Thanks and have a good day.
