Make an Effort!

Why Performance Must Become Worthwhile Again

IT’S NOT EASY, BUT WE CAN DO IT

We live in comfort zones and are under the impression that most things are available without requiring much effort. But that is an illusion. Today, it’s no longer about quantity, like it used to be, but about quality and having the better solution.

Knowledge, ideas, innovations, solutions to problems: They don’t just fall into our laps; they have to be worked hard for. This is all the more difficult because it is no longer enough to simply be a good participant, to exert yourself physically and to give your all. Our knowledge society needs self-motivated high performers to develop a new performance society: one in which one’s commitment and self-determined efforts are no longer a burden but a pleasure. In which hard work becomes something worthwhile for everyone once more, and in which we understand that the more we exert ourselves, the easier things are.
