Respect: You need to respect yourself, others, and the environment. If you don’t give respect, you won’t receive it. I think that is important for our interaction and communication with other people.
Joyfulness: Life is short, and that is why I try doing things that I love to do. I also believe the things we enjoy are the things we are good at. I try to avoid things that I don’t like. Of course, this not always possible – everybody must do laundry now end then – but you can focus on the things that you like.
Curiosity: The core of every researcher’s mindset. You should always be curious and try to understand things. It’s important in my job, but it is further related to everyday life. Being curious is also what we tell every child to be: We want them to understand that it is important to learn and that it is fun to understand things.
