Madeleine Haacke shares her perspective with us – she is a trained cultural project manager with an unwavering love for creativity. Having grown up in a boisterous family, she now brings color and openness to projects that connect people – and always a touch of joie de vivre.
A value that guides you in life:
"Joy of life. My fundamental belief is that life is good. The value of joy of life determines how I interact with people – openly, optimistically, and with empathy – and how I want to be treated. It determines how I want to view problems and difficult times – as challenges that help me move forward and grow as a person. It influences the small moments in everyday life – perceiving them, enjoying them, absorbing them – and the big moments that make me the person I am and allow me to experience joy in this earthly existence."
A value that constantly challenges you:
"Patience. Sometimes I want too much, too fast, too simultaneously. Then I can't bear the slowness and stop pursuing something I actually want."
A value that we as a society should live by more:
"Humor. I feel our society has somewhat forgotten how to view moments with a certain lightness and to forgive mistakes. So much is in flux and changing right now – everyone is allowed to slip up and get back up. Humor helps us to be forgiving – to others and to ourselves."
