At the beginning I didn’t want to believe it. Until I watched the video by myself. It’s just a 30-second video. It will change forever the way you look at the world.

Then, let’s imagine that only 150 days a year are good, you have no commitments, the weather is not that bad, and your boss didn’t ask you for a new Power Point Presentation. Let’s also be super cautious. Suppose there are only a few peak hours. Just 4 good hours a day. Yes… just 25.
150 × 4 × 25 = 15,000 dollars a year. It’s probably more than double that amount, but let’s say that it’s just that: 15,000 dollars a year… Per statue. Yes… who said that you could use only one. So, 45.000 dollars a year with:
I know what’s happening right now through your brain. Yes… I know it quite well. Right now your brain is working at lightning speed to come up with reasons why this wouldn’t work:
Keep going. ​ ​ ​ Exactly one year ago… I created a portfolio with my money. Real money. Real cash. I invested following a series of guidelines. This is the result. Investing 100.000 euros, or 140.6k CAD dollars… Look at this: 30 September: 140,600.84 31 October: 139,533.02 30 November: 149,311.00 31 December: 152,101.00 31 January: 158,959.08 29 February: 165,329.06 31 March: 169,995.03 30 April: 167,714.94 31 May: 176,419.64 30 June: 179,177.74 31 July: 182,027.52 30 August: 182,772.25 30 September: 186,818.21 ​Return since creation: 32.87% or 46,217.37 CAD dollars. Still, you’ll be thinking… that this is impossible, it won’t happen again, someone will ask me for a new Power Point presentation… While you’re thinking why not to buy the course below, my portfolio is making money for me. ​Invest better than 99% of people... including fund managers​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Not exactly “gold plating” in the luxury sense. Worse. Engineering gold plating. They didn’t want a baggage system. That would have been what they needed, but too boring. Too normal. Too “let’s move suitcases from A to B without humiliating ourselves in front of the entire planet.” No. Denver International Airport wanted something better. A fully automated baggage system. Airport-wide. High-speed. Radio-controlled carts. Miles of track. Computers deciding where every bag should go. Basically,...
They wanted to save money. Of course. Because nothing says “excellent public procurement” like taking a complex, mission-critical system and pretending the cheap option is also the clever option. In 2007, the Queensland Government in Australia needed a new payroll system for Queensland Health. Not a tiny organisation. Tens of thousands of employees, multiple awards, complex rosters, allowances, overtime, penalties, shifts… The kind of payroll system that makes normal payroll systems cry in...
Let’s say you want to get in shape. You can buy a gym membership. Fine. You pay the fee. You get the little towel. You walk in pretending you know exactly what you’re doing. Then you start lifting weights like a chicken “sin cabeza”… no head. A machine here. Some dumbbells there. A bit of treadmill because you saw someone else doing it.
