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.

We like criticising more than we like evading taxes… or voting for politicians who do. I can’t escape my genes, no matter how a Kiwi I've become. You compare. And sooner or later, you reach a painful conclusion. Especially now that I live in the paradise of the South Pacific. Nations led by builders build...
Suggesting beats showing. Always. Just see what happens to women that show too much. They attract the wrong type of men… or probably not. They just attract all men… and then, it’s more complicated to do a good selection. The chances of getting it wrong increase. But if they just suggest, they tend to attract a more sophisticated level of men. Less brutal, savage, and basic. Then, the chances of getting the wrong type of men decrease. And remember, women risked their lives having s€x not long...
You can find horror stories almost everywhere. Not just developed countries. And successful ones too… as it’s not rocket science. Before 2010, the Philippines’ PPP program was infamous for all the wrong reasons: legal uncertainty, endless bid delays, weak feasibility studies, and risk allocations that scared investors away faster than typhoons.
