Sometimes in business you fail. Overconfidence. Bad calculations. Hiring the bad people. Weak systems… and a few times, simply bad luck. My failures and my teachers. My losses my investment. I’m lucky that I have a successful brother and remembers me all these things. He is also able to see the good news in every failure, even if it is a great loss.

In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of publicity. Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. In art. In literature. In music. In industry. Even in infrastructure advisory. The reward and the punishment are always the same. The reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. When a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also...
A few months ago, a SPV CEO called me about a contractual letter. It was almost ready to go. The lawyers had reviewed it. The board gave the blessing. Everyone seemed comfortable. But when I read it, I saw one small problem. The SPV was giving away a position worth a lot of money, and take additional risks. Look. Nobody in that team was incompetent.
