I'd be happy to help! Please provide me with the German text you would like me to translate.

- THE THINKING PYRAMID / THE BEING PYRAMID / COGITO ERGO SUM (Rene Descartes)After 10 years of focus on inventiveness, I have a lot of experience with 1. thinking stage approaches AND 2. obstacle stage structures in innovations. Ascending the stages of thinking can optimize a lot - including in companies/meetings - and strongly boost one's own happiness. THE STAGES of the thinking pyramid 1. REACTING - INSTINCTIVE stage Reacting based on "gut feeling" is often correct, especially when the "gut" is filled with experiences and knowledge. Yes, irrationality does not directly relate to thinking. However, about 80% of all decisions are made "from the gut." And unfortunately, "rational" has little to do with primal feeling. The truth lies in between! 2. PROACTING - KNOWLEDGE stage " The more I know, the more I realize that I know nothing" and "I don't learn anything that I could look up" is what Albert Einstein once said. Simply absorbing knowledge without further thought brings little. Knowledge is a basis for inventions. Know-how in 2-3 disciplines is a good basis for cross-inventions. 3. RELATIVIZING - WISDOM stage Wisdom through general knowledge and relativization competence is learnable. With this, views can be optimized, conflicts resolved, and mountains moved - a top knowledge/being position is more fulfilling than having. Having diminishes - being grows... 4. INNOVATING - INVENTION stage Inventing new things is learnable, among other things, through trial and error. However, without a standing (being), inventions have poor chances. Being a professional is more important than having a position. 5. REVOLUTIONIZING - PARADIGM SHIFT stage For paradigm shifts, one should not delve too deeply into current status quos. Because according to Einstein, a problem cannot be solved with the same tools that caused it. One must look for central(!) "inconsistencies" - and THINK ANEW. This can only be done with being a thinker - having is counterproductive here. 6. ENVISIONING - PHILOSOPHY stage Philosophy has great obstacles. Therefore, in industrialized countries, having dominates - and Maslow - although 90% of all philosophers promote being! However, there was no "economic model" for this. There is one now: GlobalOnomy - my vision. Visions strengthen being and belittle having. 7. TRANSCENDENCE - QUANTUM LEAP stage A realignment based on philosophical thoughts is transcendence, a quantum leap. In Maslow's theory, this quantum leap occurs through GIVING instead of WANTING TO TAKE - usually shortly before death... A quantum leap in the "thinking pyramid" is possible earlier. However, such a leap usually takes generations. E. Fromm's being from having or being needs more time - hopefully GlobalOnomy does not need as much time!!! Those who pay attention in conversations to the level at which the conversation is taking place - and try to think one level higher each time, win! A lot! For more information on KEYNOTE-SPEECH ...
