The thing I'm certain about

One day, they asked Jeff Bezos about the future. Jeff, what are the upcoming trends? How would Amazon react to them? The answer worths more than an MBA in Harvard… … specially because in Harvard, they don’t teach this… Take a minute to read this sentence again. I don’t care about what changes, but about what stays the same. Empires are built on certainties. Not in “I think”, “I guess”, “My understanding is”. For years, I’ve had a certainty, and I operate based on it. The more you focus on what you can control, the better you live. With war or without, with psychopaths in power or with fools. I hold onto that unchanging truth and ignore the rest of the noise in the universe. And since you’re not, you’re not making the progress I do. Want proof? You spend your day avoiding certainties to ride the waves of uncertainty. Another certainty: The sooner your boss will appreciate you, will respect you, will promote you and the more money you’ll make. The sooner a client will give you his money, the more loyal he’ll be, the more satisfied he’ll be, and the more money he’ll give you over time. I’m about to launch my mentorship.

It deals with cases where the government prevents the toll road from charging the approved tariff. Then, if this happens, logically for political reasons… The government must either: Compensate the monthly Foregone Toll Income, or Grant a Concession Extension, the duration of which must be mutually agreed If...
These days, I usually panic a little. Just a little. Not because of the “social commitments.” And not because of the alcohol… which, let’s be honest, doesn’t do your health any good whether it’s “only one,” “only two,” December or June. No. It’s something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. Queueing. For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointment…...
A nice thing of brining my son to daycare and this being in the same building than the main NZ infrastructure agencies is that you meet lots of people. From the doors to the elevator, people having coffee, hanging out in the sofas, etc. Suddenly a “hey, Vicente”, and then… Some free consultation. Well… not as free, as the coffee is excellent, I always order one. “On me”. The usual suspects are: How can ensure competitive tension? How can I deal with claims? How can I prevent claims? How many...
