2013

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You can expect many interesting things for the upcoming fiscal year 2013:

• scientific results from the Mars mobile labolatory Curiosity,
• a decision about the Boeing 747 program,
• the new S-class from Mercedes-Benz,
• a very environmentally friendly Rolls-Royce model,
• the IAA in Frankfurt am Main,
• a functional "quantum computer" etc.

And what's more many people may think "13 is my lucky number..." However such thinking is superstition instead of real faith...

Superstition is: 1 (idea, practice, etc based on the) belief that certain events cannot be explained by human reason or physical laws; irrational fear of what is unknown or mysterious 2 idea or belief held by many people for no good or logical reason... (This is a try to subscribe a "fixed idea" in an euphemistic way...)

Real faith is: 1 belief in the existence of a god or gods, who has/have created the universe and given many a spiritual nature which continues to exist after the death of the body 2 particular system of faith and worship based on such a belief 3 controlling influence on one's life; sth one is devoted or commited to... (I think the essence is that faith is constructive...)

(The above definitions are based on the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary...)

So between superstition and real faith the choice is yours...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
