I may have some tiny amount of fame, but it turns out I am also able to change the world.

Last winter, I noticed how colleagues working in the Lufthansa Aviation Center would run across the – very busy – street, trying to catch a bus. I thought it would be only a matter of time before one of them would be hit by a car in the dark. So I mailed a suggestion – first to my superiors, then to the cities of Frankfurt and Kelsterbach – suggesting that a fence should be erected on the middle strip on the road should.

At the time, I got only negative replies. However, after my vacation, I noticed that they had actually set that fence up while I wasn’t around. No plaque or dedication, but I am a little proud that they actually did it.

I may have saved someone’s life.
