Klaus My friend confessed to me recently that he had when he was 9 years old, his PE teacher bribed to get the float trip badge with the appropriate certificate. One summer every Saturday morning the ocher wash Opel record of Pauker - that was the price for exemption from duty of 3-meter springboard to jump. Even then, the good Klaus suffered so terribly afraid of heights.
decades later, after learning of the Guttenberg's doctor games, got in contact with Klaus conscience. He immediately sent a letter to the President of the German Swimming Federation - with the message that he feels guilty and wants to now give up his ride swimmer title. The yellowed, crumpled certificate he added the letter.
"Are you sure that's enough," I had asked Klaus. "Do not you think that you have to resign?" And so my friend Klaus resigned as West German swimmers ride. Ruckzuck has walked this course, neither the mirror nor the Bild newspaper is interested in the resignation. But I think Klaus has shown strength of character and act consistently. Unfortunately I can not be his successor, for I am only in possession of the free float-license - and a title which has become little.
But my book has a title already, although it is still in the manuscript stage and so far has expressed no publisher interest. to "survive without the work of hot titles - a guide, the poor people for whom an acquired whatever title has come suddenly disappeared, to keep them from falling into a depression.
The core message of the text is by the way: Even without a title life is worth living! Even beyond the Dr. rer. nat., Dipl.-Soz., Ogefrem., MA, BFA, Consul ah, revolutionary leader, Maximo Lider, CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) and the like, there is jealousy, envy, jealousy, megalomania, megalomania, inferiority complexes , pretension and imposture - and of course the opportunity for creative self-realization.
also a swimming champion (former lifeguard, today: Certified Master of Public Swimming Pools) to which had to return his master's certificate for crimes of chlorine gas production, a new chance to get: for example, as a ghostwriter for a marine researcher who seeking a PhD.
So discover better with a lost title new talents and skills and perhaps find the philosopher's stone, than to have never had a title. Or?
