And especially in the high water situation at Doon with an heavy accident and following oil spill I find trust a bit difficult.</p> <p>When others rely on your decisions the last you should do is automatically trust your own decision. I needed to question myself constantly as mistakes could have had deadly consequences in my job as structural design engineer. Think of e.g. the FIU bridge collapse in Miami. Living in Germany I'm not part of that accident.</p> <p>That translates to other fields especially if something has gone wrong.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p>
