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.

A terrible clause about Force Majeure. A lawyers’ money-making machine with the definition of “Substantial regulatory changes” A few days ago, I had the opportunity to discuss common flaws to PPP contracts. Lawyers can be really good drafting millions of pages. They have no idea how real people deal with those pages in a day to day basis. That was the conversation I had with a student of the mentorship. 5 clauses. 5 headaches. Easily avoidable. The clauses, the potential solutions, together...

Despite being on a Saturday, I received a few emails asking about yesterday contract! Look… I have plenty of examples. Yesterday, it was a PPP in the Philippines… but I’ve been working on a few others PPP project. A fantastic example with nice clauses that are less bankable than a PPP for a data center in North Korea. Kenya. A known highway. The Review Procedure. “Disagreements will be discussed” Literally. Good luck with getting a solution. Discussing can be the more frustrating of...

These days I’m enjoying some interesting stuff. There is a clause. In particular, 13.3 of a project agreement. “Foregone Toll Income & ‘Mutual Agreement’ Extension”** I love the title. It deals with cases where the government prevents the toll road from charging the approved tariff. Then, if this happens, logically for political reasons… The government must either: Compensate the monthly Foregone Toll Income, or Grant a Concession Extension, the duration of which must be mutually agreed If...
