Breathing reality

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

"For those who deny reality, reality is ruthless."

If you insist on imposing your vision of the world on others instead of observing, accepting reality, and navigating it, you’ll end up screwed.

Nice sentences that you see in websites, social media and so on.

And you believe them, because if they are there… they may be true.

However, think twice of that nonsense.

Reality isn’t ruthless to those who deny it—reality is ruthless, period.

And the nuance is important.

Reality doesn’t expect anything from you; it’s just there to devour you.

It’s your ability to accept it that softens the blow.
If, where there was a hungry bear, you saw a cute puppy, well, the bear would eat you, and no one would miss you because everyone was already fed up with you always being a drama queen and causing problems.

Fresh air is necessary in companies so that reality hits accommodated managers and employees. This is one of the key benefits of consultants.

For people, like you and I, seminars, coaches and mentors bring that fresh air.

With nuance or without, fresh air in your thinking and mindset can only provide some good.

Take a look below and breath.

Who to blame

Impossible. Nobody can be that stupid. Well… welcome to another day. A contractor (let’s call him Mr. Optimism) decided to “save time” on a warehouse project. How? By installing the roof before securing the steel structure with the final bolts. “Don’t worry, jefe, it holds by itself.” Famous last words of every construction project ever. The weather app showed light breeze. New Zealand showed: “Hold my beer.” A 45-km/h gust arrived, grabbed the entire roof like a giant frisbee, and sent it...

New vocabulary

In a meeting with an agency not long time ago, I was asked for advice with regards to the team they’ll need to set up for managing a PPP project. Obviously, our conversation started by a “are you kidding me”? Managing multibillion dollar projects required people able to handle multibillion dollar projects. That’s the basics. If you bring to your team people used to manage projects in the range of 10 millions… the focus is not going to be on the right things. The nickelling and diamonding...

60 reports. 60 disagreements. 60 disputes.

Imagine that you write your monthly report. Yes, you’re part of a consortium in a PPP project. You write your report. And you send it to the agency, the government, or whatever. It’s subject to the famous review procedures. The agency sends back comments. They disagree with some of your statements. And you disagree with those statements. What to do? Remember, next month, again the j*dido report de mi€rda. You can be dragged to an endless set of discussions about every single monthly report....
