My father was not a typical family father. While we were children, he did not much of the things from the father stereotype, like playing in the garden every saturday afternoon.

Instead, he did show us in an indirect but even more effective way what he considered some of the most important values of live: Constantly aiming for perfection, selflessly offering help to whoever needs it, and being humble.

These three key values did determine his acting thoroughly, but they also determine what I am, what I will be and hopefully also what I will have been when I am not anymore.
