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. If you think that this is impossible today, you’re absolutely wrong. If you don’t believe me, check this list of lessons learnt from my last project. ​

One is the brain of someone working the old-school way. “A pelo”, as we say in Spanish… or “a Puerta gayola”. And the other is someone using ChatGPT to work. The brain of the poor soul grinding it out manually, like a farmer without a tractor, is lit up like a Christmas tree. Full of colors. Bursting...
Some men see things as they are and say, “Why?” I dream things that never were and say, “Why not? -------- Robert Kennedy’s Some people are so obsessed and absorbed in their tiny realities that pulling them out is impossible.At a conference, someone asked the speaker whether a €50,000 salary was good in Spain.The speaker asked if they meant per month or per week. Your reality defines what you consider possible and impossible.Your words, your gestures, shape your mind. The moment you go from...
The US government tracked people from ages 20 to 65. They found that when these people arrived to 65, for every 100 people: 36 were dead 54 were living on government or family support 5 were still working because they had to 4 were well off 1 was wealthy That’s the US. I don’t think that the rest of the world is so different. I don’t know what your plan is when arriving to that age. Considering that you don’t want to be in the first group… what’s your plan? Where do you want to be? Mine,...
