Jacob um 12:26

Jacob: Born in the former German Demoratic Republic, I was raised in the spirit of peaceful revolution and democratic change. Bursting of ideals and enthusiam, I went out to discover the world beyond the range of my eyebrows. Although I am a child of the city of Leipzig, I found homes in many different places. My nation is the whole wide world. I love the Earth and its countless peoples, and I want to spend all it takes to make a difference. My wish is to let you know you can do, too. This blog contains observations and reminiscences from Germany, Sweden (2004-05), Taiwan (2006-07, 2009-10), and China (2007). ------ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
