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.

Toronto. 2015. Project: Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Value: CAD $5+ billion. Model: DBFM. Jurisdiction: Canada — the global gold standard of PPPs. The agency wanted efficiency. Faster procurement. Faster close. Cleaner risk transfer. Put a medal in the chest for opening the day before election day. So they did what PPP manuals love to say: “Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it.” That sentence has probably financed more claims for lawyers than any other in infrastructure history....

This is the key question that made his face change. Last week. A mentee. Shocked by a very simple question. Look, I’ve seen through the years people living in a cage. Of self-imposed believes and limitations. You can blame your parents, your wife or husband, society, the lefties, Bad Bunny or Donald T. Whatever. These limitations, self-imposed, are holding you back. If you believe that it’s impossible to multiply by 10 your income… You’ll miss the opportunity of letting your brain being in...

Once I had a friend called Valentin. His parents gave him that name long time ago because he was born on 14 February. In Spain, there are still many people naming their children with the name of the saint of the day… or the day they were married, or things like that. Well… His parents could not foresee at the time the long term consequences of their choice. San Valentine was not at the time the word-wide phenomenon that it’s today. But still… there was some noise. Well… The thing is that...
