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. Probably two hands, two arms and two legs. Probably, one head, and one brain. And now, you have the conscience of knowing that having all those things is all you need. Let’s go there, and get it.

Two American chief engineers had already left. The workforce was enormous, multinational and frustrated. People lived and worked in brutal conditions, with disease, landslides, accidents, racial discrimination and constant labour disputes surrounding the project. Goethals was a military engineer. You...
This weekend, I went to a mall. At a weird hour. But this is what you need to do to keep the kids busy. Food court. People wearing trousers two sizes bigger than necessary… Not even Lululemon, by the way. Queueing for 15 minutes at McDonald’s. The intense smell of fries and KFC… I got it very quickly.
