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.

You do your offer of services. Of course, as it couldn’t be otherwise, extremely expensive. And then… they rejected it. That’s fine. Part of life. Interesting challenge, but with the risk of becoming a frustrating job. Difficult stakeholders. I did not ask for it, but the gave me anyway. The reason for they decision was “interesting”. It was not price. Not the onerous payment conditions. Or the absurdly harsh terms and conditions. Nope. It was a… “We want to do it ourselves”. Then, you...
More than you think. And it’s everywhere. Some people call it laziness. Even ignorance. Or worse… unawareness… Or insufficient understanding. The fact is that my team called the guys. The water guys. Aqualia in Spain. Once. Twice. Finally, they came. They installed the new device to measure water consumption. We wanted to change the contract, using the new device that comes with lower fees (it was a development site). No answer. Call. No answer. Call. They answered. The device is not correct....
This is what a personal training used to position, tired of comparing and demonstrating how good she is. Not my method is better. Not I’m going to make you lose fat. Nope. Just the reality of what this is about. Have more s€x. That’s it. Being healthier or looking good are just collateral damages. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on your ear. It’s about progress, personal growth… And of course. Valid for s€x too. What’s collateral damage? I leave that to you. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on...
