This is killing your brain
|
Staying on a dead end is madness. You know it. But your reptile brain keeps you down. Quiet. Without moving. There are too many dangers outside the tribe. Too much fear. This is the reason why: People stay in marriages where there is no longer any love People stay at dead-end jobs People hang on to old clothes and things they never use People stay in towns where they have no future People stay friends with people who hold them back ​ Too comfy to move. Too comfy to admit that the absence of movement is killing you silently… but faster than you think. If you don’t practice a language, you lose it in a couple of years. If you don’t do any sport, your muscles atrophy in months. If you don’t use your brain, the absence of creativity, ideas, motivation will fill your day to day in months. ​ This is why is so critical to be exposed to new stimuli. Exposed to people that challenge you. Expose to difficult tasks. Exposed to new things. ​ Complaining is not movement. Taking actions, getting into something new is. ​ Below, some notes of movement for your brain.

The project had already collapsed.Construction delays, cost overruns, contractors running for the hills. The SPV was bleeding cash faster than it could spell “refinancing.” Of course, everyone looked at the guys in suits… So the lenders felt the pressure and for once, they worked a little bit. They exercised their step-in rights. Poor...
There are only 4 types of personalities. Goldfinches, parrots, pigeons, and foxes. That’s how the world is organized.Goldfinches sing, parrots repeat, pigeons wander around, and foxes feast on goldfinches, parrots, and pigeons. Goldfinches talk. They tell everyone how things should be done. They write books about Marx, give lectures to entrepreneurs, and preach about how the economy ought to work. Parrots repeat. They vote, cheer, kneel, lick, suck, swallow, and when a stranger scores a goal,...
Consultants thrive in complexity. And mostly, because they are the cause of complexity. If it’s to simple, too easy, “they’ll” pay less. That’s life. Just like some MBAs… they get longer adding non-sense stuff, just to justify higher prices. But that’s for another day. Well… nothing is more dangerous for the taxpayer that an army of consultants with no general at the helm. They rapidly discover that they can print money but adding a few pages more to their reports. Or more comments. More...
