It's been a miracle
|
The world is a hard place. Not only if you live now in Canada, Panama or Greenland. It’s a hard place. Period. People that say that money is not important have no idea of the power of money. It’s freedom. It’s choices. I just saw today the picture of a newborn among other 60 immigrants in a patera, a ship that you won’t use to fish in a lake with a couple of friends, used to travel with other 60 people, hundreds of miles in the Atlantic, from Africa to Spain. The newborn was born in that patera. In that ship. Rescuing him alive was a miracle. Money moves people to risk their lives or their most precious possession. Money allowed to locate these people, to rescue these people and to make miracles. I don’t know about you, but this is the best piece of news I’ve seen in a while. ​ You surely have more choices. ​ If you want to do good for the world, make money, get rich, use your freedom to do good… and, if possible, miracles. ​ I’m in my way. Below it is how. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive rights to...
Time for a ridiculous story from the world of infrastructure contracts. You know, those multi-billion-dollar deals where one tiny typo can turn into a legendary office joke. Well… here you are one. Picture this. Somewhere in Europe. A massive bridge project. The contract is huge, hundreds of pages of legal and technical jargon. In the middle of all that, there was supposed to be a clause that said the contractor had to provide a "large-tonnage crane." Don’t ask why. Maybe some stupid Spanish...
I receive their email religiously every week. They fabricate and install curtains. You don’t expect to be renewing those things every week. Nor every year. But here they are, sending those emails weekly. On the other hand, I tried to look for 15 min for the guys that do the shampooing of my carpet. That’s something that you should be doing twice or so a year. Not an email. And still… is there anything more recurrent / certain? Probably yes, but it’s Sunday and I have the brain focused on...
