|
I read a few days ago that Robert Kiyosaki once said: Professionals have coaches. Amateurs do not. I didn’t know about this, but it cannot be closer to the truth.

You’re just being lazy. You’re playing in this world to be an amateur. I won’t tell you how much I spend in training, coaches and mentors per year, but next time that you envy someone because he is going faster than you, think of whether that person is doing something different to you. Only today I offer 3 seats on this.

The quality of your sleep and environment. The quality of your recovery. The quality of your network. The quality of your training and mentors. So, let’s do a pause today this Sunday, and reflect about how to...
Talking to good friends in Ferrovial and health & safety, we end up comparing cultures. Comparing projects. And disasters… UK. In the 2000s. Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Budget: more than £4 billion Big… very big project, with lots of complexities and workers. Every engineer knows that… If something went wrong… it wouldn’t be small. So, they treated safety like a system… for real. Not a slogan. Daily briefings. Clear reporting lines. No ambiguity on responsibility. And… Anyone could stop the...
Canada. Mid-2010s. Milton–Madison Bridge Not a PPP, but a serious piece of infrastructure. Old steel truss bridge. Built in 1929. As an engineer… I love it. Around 13,000 vehicles per day. But… like all old bridges… It was structurally done. Fatigue. Corrosion. Narrow lanes. No shoulders. A bad accident waiting to happen. So they decided to replace it. Nothing new. But… they chose a method most people would avoid. Slide-In Bridge Construction or SIBC The idea is brilliant. Build the entire...
