Demokratien sind fragil. Freiheiten, die fest errungen scheinen, können verspielt werden. Wenige historische Ereignisse verdeutlichen dies so eindringlich wie das Scheitern der Weimarer Republik.

Your comfort zone provides the safety and security of being tucked into bed. But in that safety, you accomplish nothing, experience nothing, learn nothing, and end up with nothing. It's a trap, and you need to get out. Life is for living, not merely existing. Which are you doing? The Science of Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone is not a motivational "rah rah" book.
