what has inspired you recently?

“what has inspired you recently?” was the question to a big group i was part of this week.
the truth is, i didn’t know an answer. no idea what was more surprising, the fact nothing came into my mind or i could be an inspiredless person somehow. by contrast the others mentioned interesting homepages, passed incidents with other people on their travels or some events in their daily life and work.
i thought and thought and really nothing came into my mind.
i was very relieved that i wasn’t called upon to say something. 
such a simple question and my mind is empty…

under the line i was just surprised.
in fact i feel inspired by a lot – from friends and good conversations, observations of others and their conversations, foreigners on the street, public transport, office, wherever… travelling, other cultures, museum, art, internet, tumblrs, good books, simple series, a lot of pictures, fashion… i could continue a few lines more.
but an answer to that simple question… mention something explicit “what inspired you recently” i still couldn’t describe that ONE inspiration.

during the rest of that one day, there were a lot of design presentations. i had time to think and time to do nothing. time to tapping around on my device, time to do some socialising and time to let inspire myself from design presentations. time. time at a moment i have no time.

time passed.

so many things became clear to me, what i should start doing and stop doing, what a great team and company i work with. what we can improve and how we can help each other with the richness of knowledge we all have in ourselves and different teams. what i want to change, what we have to change, what we should change… 

“what has inspired you recently?” 
i thought about that questions the last days too. i don’t know!
maybe i don’t understand the question right… is there a right understanding necessary at least?
what is inspiration? and regarding what at all?
please be more specific my answer could have been. typically german some colleagues would have thought. Am i maybe creativeless, inspiredless?  typically you some friends would have thought.
i am german, i am myself.

so and what has been inspired me recently now?
obviously the question “what has inspired you recently?”.

ha!

here a picture i found while i have written this article…
