Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review.

Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there. To our routines, Netflix series, and so many other things… You know the quote. It’s crazy to do exactly the same and waiting for different results. Change can happen to you, but you need to want it.

That’s a very interesting question.” Fortunately, NASA had Jack Garman supporting guidance officer...
In 1628, Sweden launched a magnificent warship. The Vasa. Built to impress. Which it did. Then it sank. Which was less impressive. Before the maiden voyage, thirty men had been asked to run backwards and forwards across the upper deck to test its stability. XXI sophistication… No joke… Today, we pute trucks full of rocks on new bridges… Well… The ship rolled so badly that the test had to be stopped. You would think this may… have triggered a discussion. At least something like: Let’s not...
The government wanted fewer rats. So it paid people to kill them. People started breeding them. Unattended consequences are called today. Or wrong clauses and incentives, as it should be. Hanoi. 1902. The French colonial authorities had a rat problem. And a solution that looked perfectly sensible. Pay a bounty. Require proof. Count the results. Lovely. But… There was just one small detail. The proof was a tail. Not a dead rat. Apparently, nobody thought that distinction would become...
