I have a friend who thinks and behaves a little like myself. Wherever possible, he goes places by bike or uses public transportation. He has no car. He differs from me in that he works for the State of Bavaria, which supplied him with a great office. It is situated nicely at in beautiful part of the Capitol City of Bavaria. His office is on the fourth floor.
As a matter of principle, he always climbs the stairs when he has to go up to his office. Otherwise, he also walks a lot and rides his bike frequently. Besides skiing, however, he basically is not into sports.
My friend has a very nice boss, who always goes places by car. At home, he has an underground parking place. You could say his life brings him from underground parking to underground parking, from multi-storey parkhouse to multi-storey parkhouse. Every day of the year, all the year round.
Of course, he also always takes the lift to get from the underground parking space to his office – which is also on the fourth floor.
Said boss lives very conscientiously. He is careful about what he eats and regularly exercises. For him, this is a very serious thing, so he also visits the fitness centre twice a week. Whenever he is there, he very diligently works out, monotired at scientific standard.
A short time ago, my friend managed to persuade his boss not to use the lift after lunch. Instead, they both walked the stairs from the ground floor to the fourth floor.
They had just reached the third floor and the boss was totally winded already. …
🙂 Well, this is just an anecdote to make you smile.
