Dividends paid long term
|
We’re always comparing ourselves to others. We shouldn’t. Comparing yourself to others and complaining about anything are your best friends of poverty. What if we showed up to work every day simply to be better than ourselves. What if your objective every day was to become better than your yesterday self. I think that is a better WHY than your pay raise, your next sale, your next business… it pays great dividends on the long run. You don’t need to worry anymore for the next great idea Netanyahu, or what the Excel model of the FED have to say, about your company next quarter result, or that client that resists to “give work”, or the decisions of some guys pumping oil in doggy countries… If you improve yourself every day, you’ll be safe. That’s my promise. If you wake up with that sentence in your mouth every day, if you determine what you’ll improve today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow in your skills, life, business or work… you’ll be unstoppable. I’m preparing something that will give you some ammunition in your efforts. Let me know if you are interested here: ​Click here.

LinkedIn posts multiply. “Proud to be part of the winning consortium.” Then reality walks into the room. Let’s talk about the Malaysia–Singapore High Speed Rail. A mega rail PPP. 350 km. High-speed trains. Two countries connected. Estimated cost: $15-20 billion. The type of project ministers...
Some of the worst PPPs in the world come from capital cities trying to look impressive. Huge buildings. Architectural statements. Politicians cutting ribbons. And budgets exploding. But some of the best PPPs? They come from places nobody talks about. Take Ferguson Place Recreation Centre PPP. It sits in Fort St. John, Canada… Oh Canada! Population: about 21,000 people. Not exactly Tokyo. The city needed something simple: A recreation centre. Swimming pools. Ice rinks. Fitness facilities....
A toll road. In one of the richest regions of Europe. Northern Italy. Lombardy. Industrial powerhouse. Traffic everywhere. What could possibly go wrong? The project was called the Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda. A massive motorway designed to connect cities north of Milan and relieve congestion around the region. On paper, it looked like a dream. Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
