" When we moved to Zwethlaan in the tardy 1980s , we were the ' Jonkies . ' ' Rabolaan ' as it was popularly phone , because all entrepreneur were start out new businesses there , was nice and quiet . The street was a dead closing . There was no vendue itinerary in those daylight . You just walked straight into the polder and look over the Zweth . And , of course , we start doing everything differently from our parents ! From tomato plant to sight plants and mechanizing , we thought it could all be done better ! "
speak is Erik Persoon of Forever Plants . In ' Stem uit de Polder , ' a publication by Coöperatie Broekpolder , he talk about the developments in entrepreneurship in the region across generations .
" It was a fun and friendly time . There was a neighbourhood affiliation and a newspaper publisher , ' De Zwethser , ' and board and tennis evenings together , but there was also operose work . Gradually , more young people motivate in , and the young families had kid . We aim the children to school together . It was in Kwintsheul , so the children could wheel there safely themselves once they got erstwhile . We also experienced quite a few changes together , such as the millenary , the introduction of the euro , the breakthrough of CHP , and the banking crisis . Every now and then , a neighbour stopped and was take over . "
" Entrepreneurs are broadly obstinate , so discussion about changes were at the cutting edge . Not everyone just lets themselves be convinced . Sometimes we also just did n’t occur to the same conclusion , and discord arose . So the prank was to at least keep the atmospheric state effective and keep talking to each other . "
" Collaboration was always one of the answers to change . That helped you to see how the others handled it or ensure that you , as a smaller entrepreneur , still counted in the grocery store . We always actively participated in that too , whether it was in Ficus Forever as a agriculturist ' tie or in Trias around geothermal heat . "
" When our male child attain adolescence , of course , there came a ' Hok ' ; from that , a close group of friends get up that is still there after 18 years . Still nice to see that this now includes the new ' Jonkies ' and to witness that a good routine of them have also chosen entrepreneurship . "
" shortly , I hope to become a grandfather , and I will emphatically be attribute to the camp of the ' Oudjes . ' That will almost complete the rotary , and it will be up to the newfangled genesis to shape the futurity together . "
" In doing so , the variety in our beautiful polder will not block . Discussions with each other will also lead to differences of judgement again . And so will the discussions around the next picture of our polder . This brings me to my conclusion : " Change , differing ruling , and regard for each other , that ’s timeless . "
