I can't think of a better way of summing up my own life, in fact, life itself: one moment you're doing well, feeling well, being pleased with yourself for having safely negoatiated another one of life's many obstacles, then BANG! — you're back in a deep hole again.
Maybe it's just the German "Schadenfreude" I was born with, but I can watch this funny Rowan Atkinson clip for hours. It's life in a nutshell!
Maybe that's why they put "Sieh nach den Sternen — gib acht auf die Gassen!" on the front of my "Abschlusszeugnis" on the last day of school!
