He would have become a prime example, had one Curriculum vitae be able to present par excellence, someone like him Companys gladly present to future generations.

On the way to a dream career

Most of his former fellow students now have chairs or occupy well-paid management chairs in corporate consultations and industrial groups. Loos also worked on his first JP Morgan project in finance research.

But there is the "should have". Would have been because in the environment of such a rational life in which it is all about superficial circumstances, conditions and developments, with some People either sneaking up on others, raising thunder and lightning, an inner one voice reports, which doubts everything that has been done so far.

Top job, but the inner voice doubts

He actually had everything that many dreams of: an eliteVocational Training, a good job, a topsalary - and yet there is a constant inner dissatisfaction - an inner voice that keeps telling you that things can't go on like this.

Find the truth - through broken ribs and defeats

There he worked in a financial start-up, had the offer to work in an investment fund for 175.000 US dollars a year, starting salary. But that very afternoon it broke out of him. He says today: “There was clearthat I had no strength left to go on. "

This outbreak was also helped by the fact that Loos had already started karate in his first year at MIT, which was 1996. A fellow student had asked if he would not even come along, as compensation for desk work.

Hard, but good!

From his first belt test, he came with two broken ribs. In general, the units were an ordeal. But not only that. "I was also able to draw something from the defeat, from being beaten up by the opponent," says Malte Loos looking back. "Every training felt somehow true."

He didn't give up his university career at the time, but karate became more and more his determining factor content of life. He trained, gave lessons himself at some point and organized his karate master, Kazumi Tabata, his Organization.
