WHAT DEVOPS IS IMHO:- a cultural mindset which offers plenty of opportunities for improving organizational structure

CHANGE HAPPENS ANYWAY-
• day by day
• with or without you

DO YOU LOVE...
• what you do

YES OR NO:BOTH IS GREAT!

If YES: If NO:
• Changes are necessary to return / come to love what you are doing!

PLEASE NOTE:
CHANGE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY THE SAME AS PROGRESS!
VERY OFTEN CHANGE IS NEEDED TO KEEP AT LEAST THE STATUS QUO!

START WITH THE (WO)MAN IN THE MIRROR
• I´m starting with the man in the mirror - I´m asking him to change his way and no message could have been any clearer,
• if you wanna make this world a better place - take a look at yourself - and then make a change!

BE AWARE:

something themselves, they wanna tell you you can´t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period!“
