What's happening in Valencia


What’s happening in Valencia, Spain is symptomatic of human nature.

Human tragedy aside, which is the worst in our generation in Spain, the reaction of many people reflects once more our weaknesses.

Our need to be part of a tribe, and our difficulty in recognize mistakes.

If you are a hater of the party in the central government, you know you’re right. They did it all wrong.

If you are a hater of the other party, you know you’re right. They did it all wrong.

The King, who passed by, did it all wrong too. He exists and coming to ground zero will be criticised at nauseum… in particular by people who did not move out of the sofa.

Impossible to recognize that doing anything in life without mistakes is impossible… however, coordinating a national catastrophe should be made with no mistakes. Especially if the coordinators are politicians that the most remarkable thing they did in their life was to make photocopies and have some ideas and say many lies to win elections.

They never confronted any complex situation in their lives.

With budgets, dozens of stakeholders, pressure, restrictions, low quality, conflicting and/or scattered information.

But you voted them.

You don’t want to recognize your mistake.

And you blame them now.

Bravo.

This is happening in Valencia and anywhere in the world.

You’ll end up applauding their solutions for the future that will be more taxes and resources to be wasted by their incompetency.

Look.

If you want to do something great for the world, create wealth. For yourself first. Don’t depend on those guys. Then, donate. Now, during and when you’re rich. To the people on the ground that can deliver. Don’t let those guys to take money from you to waste it.

That’s all for today.

Be part of your own tribe.

Acknowledge your mistakes and learn from them.

You’ll be already in the path of the top 1% with that.

I go to my netWORK to increase my Net Worth.” You need to improve your network to increase your Net Worth. It’s not just about the...

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....

Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. It’s always simpler than you think. Before you change your company and country, it feels scary, and risky. After you do, you wonder why you waited so long. Before you start your...
