In life everything is good for something . Things that won ' t kill you will make you stronger .
15 . What is your daily routine ?
Every day I go to work at 7 am . I go through mail in the morning . I have a lot of meetings through all day . I sign a lot of documents , many travelling orders as you do in every job . Sometimes I have a meeting already at 8 . I work in different working teams . At work I ’ m to 8 p . m . I ’ m working on the town problems with officials . The town council lasts long too .
Nice and pleasant are the cultural events or ceremonial ones but sometimes it is too much , especially in December . Or we give Maturita certificates to students at official ceremonies . It is not work like work but it takes time .
Look at my table . It is not empty and clean . I still have work to do ahead of me . Last autumn I started with the tradition of open-door day to let people see and speak to me . Many , mainly retired people , came with problems . Before that they had been afraid to come to me .
16 . Do you have time to be a mother ?
I have an adult daughter and a grand-daughter . I can ’ t imagine how someone does that with children , I wouldn ’ t do that probably . My husband is tolerant and it is about compromises . I cook late at night .
16 . What were you discussing at the town council today ?
We were discussing requests of citizens connected to properties or plot of lands , funding organization and their projects , some stuff for the Děčín Castle , town orders , a new bell . It is a mix of many things .
Today we were also speaking of an exchange of windows in one of the town ’ s block of flats , for example .
17 . Is there something you want to change in your decision ?
I say that there aren ’ t any bad decisions . All decisions are good in some ways . I don ’ t regret any decisions . I had prepared always before I decided things . I am not aware of skimping at something . I learn from my experience , get the lesson , and I require having enough information before making decisions . One cannot think he can do everything on his own . Do not cry for the past things , go ahead . I have no regrets and I can admit making a mistake . Don ’ t be afraid to support your opinions with arguments .
In life everything is good for something . Things that won ' t kill you will make you stronger .
