Gold out of the weeds


Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places.

In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...

Small children don’t wait. They come with their “wee, wee” statement… like a Change Notice on Christmas Eve. And it means now. Not in 1 min, that I’m eating. No. Just right now. In a rush, you take over everything you need for such a complex operation. Peeing in a public / restaurant toilet. And you arrive in a rush. Then, you realized the obvious thing. Too many tables. Too many people eating. Too few bathrooms. The waiting list announces the inevitable. A wee-wee accident. Kids are not made...

Most PPP evaluations are designed by committees obsessed with checking boxes. Not with selecting the best partner. The result?
