A Good Sense of Humour
I yesterday read an interview with Jean-Daniel Gerber, director of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs in the “NZZ Executive“, which made me heartily laught. Mr. Gerber has a beautiful sense of humour.
Q: Which formation would you make up for if you could? A: Astrology, to give a scientific basis for the economic prognostics.
Q: How many e-mails are you answering per week? A: About 53.4. And in a good mood 2 more.
Q: From which failure did you learn most? A: When I once applied for the role of the donkey in a nativity play and was rejected as unqualified.
Q: Your favorite film? A: Kodak.
And he also shows a good sense of right values in life:
Q: As a citizen, what bothers you most? A: That politics is given priority to expertise.
Q: What is your professional example? A: Jimmy Carter, who after his failed presidentship reached the real height of his career with the Carter Institute for Human Rights.
Q: Which qualities with you collegues do you estimate most? A: When they prevent me from my own stupidity.
