Please allow me to talk about the seven experiences in my life. They teach me how to stay productive, to maintain the ability to grow and change, to mature, but not to be trapped in the past.
I finished high school at the age of 18, left my hometown in Vienna, Austria, and became an intern at a cotton export company in Hamburg, Germany.
My father is not very happy. For a long time, our family has worked for civil servants, professors, lawyers and doctors. Therefore, he hopes that I can go to college full time, but I am tired of being a student and want to go to work.
In order to appease my father, I went to the Law Department of the University of Hamburg to register, but I am not really serious.
In the distant years of 1927, colleges in Austria and Germany did not need to attend classes at any time, only the professors were required to sign in the register.
