Our daily experiences are not just moments but building blocks that construct our minds. They become our personal stories. And each personal story matters because every one of us matters. This year I am celebrating my 10th anniversary living in #StadtWien. It is sometimes really difficult to articulate everything that I have learned, experienced, and created in this beautiful city. Sometimes I know Vienna better than the Viennese themselves (If you are from Vienna, and complaining internally about my last sentence, let me know who was Hugo Breitner because I do who he was and what he did 😉) Dear Vienna is time to tell the daily stories differently than the "Heute" approach. The language we choose to articulate these experiences is not innocent—it's a powerful force that shapes our cognitive landscape, influencing attitudes and perceptions. I live in a city where 50% of us are foreigners. In this city are happening amazing things. Could you consider for a moment how our words can be architects, constructing the framework of our thoughts? Every expression, every daily story, becomes a blueprint for our brains. It's not merely about communication; it's about building the architecture of our minds. We have so many languages in this city, not just "Deutsch". It is time to promote (fördern) all of them. To enjoy the incredible cultural diversity that the beautiful city of Vienna has. How we talk about our experiences, and perhaps more crucially, how we discuss each other, leaves an indelible mark. It's a process of constant modeling—sculpting our thoughts, attitudes, and, consequently, the way we engage with the world. Let's be mindful architects of our collective minds. Let's choose words that uplift, inspire, and foster understanding. Our language isn't just a reflection; it's a force that shapes our reality. Let's use it wisely. THANKS, Leticia Luna Tlatelpa for being my partner in creativity. Vienna be prepared for listening your beautiful stories differently and sweetly. You deserve that! Liebe Wien, du hast es verdient. #wienistanders ! 😘 #LanguageMatters #MindfulCommunication #PositiveMindset #LinkedInThoughts 🧠✨
Totally in agreement with you, our language is very powerful, not only the words that we speak to others, but mainly the words we speak to ourselves. So happy to see you in this new more creative, innovative and sensitive you. Congratulations Maria Ines Plaza Schwarck !
Looking forward to it! Congrats, 10 years 😍
Dear community from Vienna, I need your help on this one....... Rania Wazir, Olga Bratsun, Roi Shternin, Iveta Lohovska something not nice (but until now not dangerous) happens in my child's school. I am not finding the energy or nice stories to tell about what it means to come from another country to Vienna. I know we can talk for hours about the challenges that we have experienced, I am not naive...... and you neither....... Could we ignore just for a second those experiences and you share with me the best ones you have had living and volunteering in Vienna? I REALLY need this boost this week. THANKS in Advance.
