The same thing that discourages some motivates others. Another person’s well-being, their neighbor’s prosperity. A car, a house, a trip. Some feel attacked by this; others feel motivated.

The second group believes by default; they don’t consider it might be a lie because they know that when you believe something is achievable, you end up seeing the path to achieve it.

1858. England, land of pirates. The British Parliament had a problem. The river outside smelled like sh*t. The reason was simple. It was full of sh*t. An unfortunate combination. London had been dumping sewage into the Thames, and a hot summer made the consequences particularly difficult to ignore. No wonder why French perfumes were so popular. And of course… the smell was very close to where the lords sat… sorry… work… sorry, you know. Suddenly, PPPS, water management became a very important...
In July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were descending towards the Moon. Then their computer started displaying alarms. 1202 An excellent moment to discover that a number means absolutely nothing to you. Imagine being in Mission Control. Two men approaching the lunar surface. An alarming computer. And someone asking whether they should continue. Perhaps you could open with: “Thank you. That’s a very interesting question.” Fortunately, NASA had Jack Garman supporting guidance officer...
