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 client of mine was angry. Very angry. An obstinate and incompetent operator. A client that did not understand what a PPP was or how risks work. Claims. Lots of letters. Even more frustration. It’s hard to work in that environment. But it’s almost the day to day of many projects. People not understanding each other. Not because some are incompetent and have nothing to do but heating and protecting their chairs… that happens sometimes… but because nobody is trying to understand the other...

Yesterday a subscriber told me that writing every day was too much. Too much pressure. I answered back as Grant Cardone would do. “Sir, you’re confusing my belief and passion in knowing this is the right product for you and your company with pressure. Please don’t misinterpret my enthusiasm for pressure. Now, let’s do this”. To all people with passion. To all people that love to deliver better infrastructure. This is for you.

These days, still in Spain, I had the opportunity to talk to many infrastructure professionals. Things are slow. Bad. Nothing new. Construction companies are risk averse. They prefer private clients now… aka, data centers and batteries. Projects are small. Lenders are worried. Etc. Look. Every guru out there is writing, talking, showing "projections for 2026"... It's as typical as the new year eve. It arrives every year. Together with their mistakes. And my friends, gurus included, forget...
