You’ve probably heard about a space ship hitting badly Venus or Mars, I don’t remember, because of miscalculations, right? Well, that’s everywhere. When you do your taxes, when you calculate your retirement or when you receive an inheritance. All are miscalculation errors. In construction, there are everywhere. In 1970, during the construction of the Kadena Air Base Bridge in Okinawa, Japan, engineers made a slight miscalculation. As usual… Two teams started building from opposite sides of the river, expecting to meet perfectly in the middle. But when they finally got close... one side was 2 meters higher than the other! I mean… not 1 cm, not 2 cm, not 10 cm… just 2 meters. The error? One team had used metric measurements, while the other worked in imperial units.

Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo. Imagine you are born today. Yes… today. Imagine now that your parents want to torture you. And they decide to make you watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube today. Just the day of your birth… As a welcoming gift to you to introduce you to the world you’re going to live on. I repeat. Every single video uploaded to YouTube. And only the videos from that day. Exclusively those. Not a single more. Well… Do you know when you would finish...
Coming back from holidays always brings me great things. Lots of work. Interesting work. Jet lag. An amazing inside force that pushes me to achieve more. In life, you do, you do mistakes, you learn, adjust and repeat. That’s the only path for greatness… in any field. No mistakes, no learning, no freedom. Take the time to reflect in your mistakes. But do it as an external observer. As a reader of the situation. As an avid student looking for an A. Check what I learned from a project that went...
