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.

For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. It’s always simpler than you think. Before you change your company and country, it feels scary, and risky. After you do, you wonder why you waited so long. Before you start your...
“Twenty years ago, my father built a thriving business with a handshake and a business card” “Sorry mate. Welcome to the Trust Recession Era”. In your father’s era, trust was institutional. People believed in companies, credentials, and corporate polish. Now, people don’t believe TV, the newspaper, the media, the government… Almost nothing. This is why great engineers, and other professionals remain invisible despite their skills. Other people, less-qualified attract attention. This is why...
