all the world is a stage


A German Cowboy is always on stage. He discovers every environment as a possibility to perform. Everywhere are potential customers. You are always in character. Each meeting with you is an experience which reflects your game/ business. People are entertained by you, they are attracted, they want to get in touch with you.

At my last job I just did what I was supposed to do, professional, reliable, having in mind the overall goal, payed attention to all the other players, had fun supporting the people on stage. At the end people came to me, wanted to get my business card, made some new friends...

I did my job, how I like to do my job and enjoyed my time.

Where are the stages you can perform? Where ever you are, is your stage.

Interesting topic...

I like to perform on musical stages, on the radio, in client meetings, in class (haha!).

...and then again, if we're always performing, the line between what's real and an act becomes blurry doesn't it?

What's real is an act, is a performance, often we are just not aware of it.
