About cheating


They call it “cheating”.

That bad it is.

The school system, the system paid and sustained by your taxes.

They train students to take tests on their own. If a child attempts to cooperate at test time… as I said… it is called ‘cheating.’

In the real world, business owners cooperate at test time.

Engineers cooperate at test time.

And so on…

In life, except in the critical time for your brain, school time, every day is test time.

Then, they penalize you to make mistakes.

You do a mistake; you fail the test.

You are blamed, even ridiculed.

In real life, many entrepreneurs don’t really become businesspeople until after they lose their first business.

Salespeople, the same. You must lose many sales, to become good at work.

We continue to be trained and wired as in the industrial times when we needed meat for the factories.

The damage to your brain can be permanent.

Scaping almost impossible.

I don’t know what you do, or how you want your children to be educated.

But I want my child to learn by doing, and by making mistakes.

I want him to be creator and innovator.

I’ve been in corporate life for too long to know that staying busy in your busyness and not building anything is chain your future to a blackberry.

You can also start building.

On the side, without stupid risks. With the two feet on the ground. Building a career increasing your options. Building a business without risking your life. Building your wealth without breaking a bank.

Common sense.

Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....

Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...

I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
