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.

Doesn't make too many decisions. And, above all, doesn't make anyone above them look uncomfortable. Ideally, someone who...
1959 Japan started building a high-speed railway between Tokyo and Osaka. 515 kilometres. A completely new railway system. New tracks. New trains. New technology. By October 1964, passengers were travelling at over 200 km/h. Five and a half years. No AI, folks. No digital twins. And of course, no PowerPoint presentations explaining why delivery was becoming increasingly complicated. Just a country with a clear objective. And, of course, people determined to achieve it instead of jumping onto...
Yesterday, I received a bothering message from DHL indicating that my Canadian election package was in its way… So, today… Canada. 1907 Canada was building one of the most ambitious bridges in the world. The Quebec Bridge. A spectacular structure across the St. Lawrence River. Almost 550 metres between its main supports. A masterpiece of engineering. At least… as usual… on paper.
