What 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?

The more cases I review from my advisor’s position, the more amazed I’m about people repeating the same mistakes over and over. One of the most astonishing, under-focused risks in infrastructure PPPs is land availability and land cost escalation. Too often, governments assume or implicitly transfer the risk of land value increases to the private concessionaire. Please, don’t.
