The reason why you need to move your culo

Attitude is everything. Stay around with people depressed that criticizes all is happening around (Trump, tariffs, war, Putin, oil, bitcoin), and you’ll be depressed too. Optimism is a powerful weapon. I’d say that stay away of people that don’t share optimism and see opportunities everywhere. Instead of “that won’t work”, think of and stay around with people with a “how do I apply that” mindset. The key to success is knowing how to stay motivated in the face of barriers, stops, and things not going quite the way you’d hoped or planned. And for that, you need attitude. There is a secret though. How to keep motivated. And it’s simpler than you think. The number one way for me to stay motivated is to stay busy moving quickly from one activity to the next without a lot of time in between. That’s it. Then, you’ll need to stay busy doing the right things, those that truly produces results, those that you “don’t feel like” to do… those ones, precisely, are the ones that you need to do inmediately. Calling a client. Going to a fair and meet more people. Visiting 100 apartments. Sending 25 bids… The reality is if you are moving fast enough, it won’t matter because you are going to the next activity. My motivation, and yours, comes from my attention on the future, not from something done in the past. Stay motivated. Stay aware. Stay busy doing the right things. Grow. Move your culo and get things done. Do you want to learn about something new?

And a commanding officer called Lord Chelmsford. A man who was remarkably confident in British military superiority. Unfortunately for the British, the Zulus hadn't been informed of their inferiority. Chelmsford established a camp. Standard military practice required defensive precautions. Entrenchments. Protected positions. A...
Ah, November… time of elections… Promises… and of course… rush to solve problems untouched during 3 or 4 years. This time, it was January. 2022. India. A politician inaugurated a bridge. Just before the elections. Beautiful ceremony. Speeches. Cameras. Smiles. Although… as usual in pre-election times… there was one minor inconvenience. The bridge wasn't finished. The approaches… the same. But the ribbon? Ohh… my friend. Perfectly red. Perfectly cut. A steering committee to choose the perfect...
They say infrastructure is about delivering outcomes. But spend five years discussing how to procure the people who might eventually deliver them. They say experience matters. Then appoint someone who's never delivered a project to tell those who have how to do it. They say risk should sit with the party best able to manage it.
