When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. ​ Failures focus on hating. ​ Failures assume malice. ​ Failures obsess over what they don’t like. ​ ​ Successful people always find a reason to go further. ​ And the explanation is simple: Because slavery takes away the heaviest burden in the universe: responsibility. ​ That’s why even when a slave escapes and accidentally makes money, they immediately search for something new to enslave themselves to: meetings, commitments, micro-management. ​ Look… This is simple. ​ ​ That’s the first thing I’d do if I were living in slavery. ​ ​ The third?

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders. If you work in infrastructure, you are in a sector that is essential. I’m watching the AI revolution carefully.
