If you are part or play around of the sect of the majority, you hear words like these: “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ The followers of the majority even well-intentioned try to put you down and bring you into the sect. “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ Your parents, your teachers, your bosses, your colleagues, your friends, and in-laws: “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ They forget the “come to us” and become a zombie as we are. ​ Look. To make an omelette, you need to break some eggs. ​ I don’t know many cases of people that followed the majority and got anywhere interesting or great. And if they are, there you are the exceptions to the rule. ​ You have to expose yourself. You have to try new things. Do, do and do. You have to train. You have to read and write and speak, after you listen – not before. ​ Simply, if you do the opposite of what the sect says, you win. ​ ​ It works. ​ As Isra Bravo says: Feet shouldn’t be on the ground; they should be in the sky. ​ ​ On what ground? ​ ​ ​ Don’t be afraid. Take a look what you can achieve, for example, playing with real estate. Those are my real numbers, real projects…

Some people want to push globalization too much. Having assets in London, NY, Madrid, Singapore, Sydney, etc. at the same time is not good for your health, nor your pocket. You miss specialization. You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
It happens a few weeks ago. “Tell me about Madrid and Spain, how do you do it? I heard a business case that Madrid has been able to deliver the cheapest tunnels in the world…” I did not know about that case, but my answer was simple: “Do you know how many TMBs had Madrid at the time?” Look. If you want cheap infrastructure, create a pipeline. Madrid had during more than 10 years between 7 and 8 TBMs (the machines to make tunnels in engineering slang). They are extremely costly. So, they...
A great friend of mine tells his team: “Work hard, play harder”. I can’t agree more with him. Infrastructure is a difficult business. Lots of hours of discussing, negotiating, working, arguing with people. Yes, people. Not companies, not systems. People. Along the journey you’ll have all sorts of moments. Creating all sorts of emotions. Engraving in you, amazing memories. So enjoy the journey. Don’t be a gilipollas and play harder. No matter what the contract says, if you get along well with...
