"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. ​ Reality isn’t ruthless to those who deny it—reality is ruthless, period. And the nuance is important. ​ It’s your ability to accept it that softens the blow. ​ Fresh air is necessary in companies so that reality hits accommodated managers and employees.

Goal: Replace ageing lighting, reduce cost, save lives, cut emissions. And this is why you should study this PPP Project: 1. Small...
The world is at war. Not sure if you realized it. Take a look. The far left and the far right. Work–life balance. Working hours and retirement. More rights and fewer taxes, or more; housing, precarity and the minimum wage… Pensions; emissions, plastics and manatees. Republic or monarchy. “No immigration” or open borders. Separatism or globalism. Fake news; the killers from one side or the torturers from the other, from this war or the other one… And football, rugby, the Black Friday and a...
Most people think Africa is where PPPs go to die. They’re wrong. It’s where PPPs go to prove whether a government is serious. Senegal was. Early 2000s. Dakar traffic was a nightmare.
