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.

In this mail, you’ll learn an invaluable lesson about sales… Don’t believe me? Just keep reading. A few days ago, I had a conversation with a great entrepreneur. He is in a new venture. He tries to implement AI in small and medium size building. The progress is slow. Not the kind of exponential growth that AI promises. The slogan? We help you to make more money with less. More profit. More growth. I explained him something. People don’t want to make more money. They say they want, but they...

I arrived on a Sunday night. Jet lagged. Second time I crossed the Atlantic. I woke up early. Full day of meetings. My head was hurting. Jet-lag… and the Quebecois accent. 4 years without having said a word in French, and now… that weird accent. At 6pm, I was really in bad shape. I said… I go to the hotel, I need a quick dinner and a sleep. “Yes, Vicente, do that… and remember that at 10:30pm, we are leaving” “?????”. Well… Apparently, with all that accent, I had not understood that I had to...

This email contains the formula to learn anything. It’s not a secret. And it’s obvious. And you know it. But your ass loves to be comfortable. Look. Most of us learn to ride a bicycle only by falling off a few times. We learn to walk by falling a few times. Then we get to school, and we are taught not to fall. We are taught that people who fall are stupid. We are taught that smart people are people who sit like the three birds on the fence and memorize the right answers. I was a nerd. Less...
