An important post Tanja and I really loved the Benjamin Franklin quote, which is true. I worked with high-flying CEOs for many years and one of my observations was that few of them knew themselves. It is hard of course - to be realistic and make a true assessment but also to be kind to yourself. Ricky Nelson (who was a big US pop star in the 1960s) recorded a song called "Garden Party" with the line - "You can't please everyone so you may as well please yourself". It has resonance to your thought in your post - "You can fool the whole world but it makes no sense to fool yourself".
Loved the photo. It really is spring in Germany. Snow fell here today so we are bracing for more cold.
