What is your goal in life?
|
The answer is found in the simple, yet profound, statement by a Vietnamese monk, Thich Naht Hahn: “The path is the goal.” In other words, finding your path in life is your goal in life.

Looking for that path fuels your inner energy. If you make that path enjoyable, meeting new people, visiting new places, learning new skills, you can feel truly fulfilled all along the way. Now, what are you going to do to achieve your goal in life today?

Selling used stuff online is hard work. A lottery. A candy box. I tried it once. In less than 5 minutes, I got a message. 30 seconds later, I knew it was a scam. Emoticons. Broken grammar. Asking for my number immediately… when the platform literally tells you not to. Block the user. Close the chat. And then do what a good SPV CEO does… Subcontract. Pass it to someone who knows better. Create the right incentives. Supervise. Manage issues. Etc. Life is just another PPP. Your standards say a...
The pattern... Different country. Different name. Same movie. A “strategic” project. Big announcements. Strong political backing. Aggressive bids. Beautiful financial models. Everyone smiling at financial close. And then… After bonuses paid and elections won… Reality. Costs go up. Time disappears. Risks… yes, those that were “managed” and “transferred to the party better able to deal with”, start showing up. Suddenly: - contracts are “reinterpreted” - assumptions were “too optimistic” -...
