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. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

“If you do not know where you are going, you will end up exactly there (where?). If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you have no specific goals, you will get no specific results.” - David Cameron Gikandi and Bob Doyle Those words could make today’s email. I have an objective. A life I’m aiming. A date. And I’m just working the plan backwards, putting milestones every year. This is what I’m doing. This is what I recommend you do. Know where you’re going. And plan how to get there… from...
“There’s some misunderstanding; and that misunderstanding will be our downfall.” – Franz Kafka There’s a widespread misunderstanding. People confuse intelligence or knowledge with interest. What changes things is interest. What drives progress is interest. What is within your control, yes, your control is interest. Intelligence is understanding something. Interest is doing it—whether you understand it or not. The money is in doing, not in understanding. And this is something that keeps you...
Loved corporate life, until I realized of a few things. Great jobs gave me: Money but no creativity Security, but no freedom Comfort, but no personal growth A path, but also a ceiling. And then, you start having those feelings. You crave freedom, but fear risk You want all the upside, but avoid volatility You dream big, but act small This is why some people willing to invest in real estate, go to a crowdfunding platform. Invest small, to end no where. Every builder, every entrepreneur, every...
