People drawn in a glass of water. They lack perspective. Look. You have all you need. I repeat. You have all you need to achieve your potential. And let me put you an example. Probably you know her. Her name is Emma Kok. Look for her on the internet. She became famous when she was 15 years old or so. She signs like the angels. If you look for her interpretation of the song “Voilà ”, you’ll see that it has more reproductions that any crap issued by Donald and Elon together, by far. Unfortunately, she suffers from gastroparesis, an illness that forces her to be connected to two feeding pumps for 22 hours a day in order to digest. If one day you feel like you can't handle something, watch this angel singing 'Voilà . Now. You’re a privileged. You have a mobile phone or a laptop, and likely both. Probably two eyes.

Look at this story told to me by Muhammad Danish, a top expert in PPP... Pakistan. A road to be built. A few years ago. Inflation was running wild. Prices were changing so fast that a contractor could buy materials on Monday and regret being born by Thursday… until he discovered he could sell them for a fortune on Sunday. The government’s advisers saw the problem. If the private partner had to carry all the price escalation risk, the bids would be absurdly expensive. Or there would be no bids...
“No fee paid upfront.” “If you can bring equity capital of $45 million, then we can talk about success fees.” Wonderful. You bring the project. I bring the investors. The contacts. The credibility.
