Watch out with this sect


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 dream and fight.

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.

​
With business, with partners, with your habits, with your discipline.
Do the opposite of the majority.
And you win.

​
It’s simple.

It works.

As Isra Bravo says: Feet shouldn’t be on the ground; they should be in the sky.

​
"Keep your feet on the ground” – they say.

On what ground?
On whose?
On the ground of a bureaucrat or on that of a millionaire?
On the ground of a unionist or on that of a true artist?
On the ground of a civil servant or on that of a writer?

​
On what ground?

​
The ground of the majority is fragile, like their will and their ambitions.
They only have one big thing: their FEAR.

Don’t be afraid.

I continue in China. And looking at Chinese infrastructure, I came across a lovely reminder for our industry. The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge. More specifically, its immersed tunnel. A standard tunnel segment weighed approximately 80,000 tonnes. They precast the segments on Guishan Island, then used tugboats to transport them into position. If you like megaprojects, this is a must see. The project used extensive off-site manufacturing to help control quality and reduce disturbance to marine...

I’m writing this from China… I’m here for a trade fair… well… two. Tiles. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Doors. Windows. As you know, I’m building my real estate empire on the side. Which means moving my @ss, meeting suppliers, asking questions and starting from zero somewhere nobody particularly cares what I did before. Former CEO? Lovely. Board experience? Wonderful. Twenty years in infrastructure? Very impressive, sir. Now, how many toilets would you like? Fair enough. Look. There’s a lesson here...

Any project in the world has a meeting like this. The most senior person says: “I think this is an excellent opportunity.” Suddenly, everyone discovers they think so too. Extraordinary. Twenty minutes earlier, the project looked like a hostage note. Now it’s “a compelling investment proposition.” The spreadsheet hasn’t changed. The boss has spoken. 1961 During the planning of the Bay of Pigs invasion Presidential adviser Arthur Schlesinger had serious reservations. He put objections in...
