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.

Yes, you can. But you know what you need to get there… Don’t you know? Yes. Action. Start doing. Stop thinking and do, do and do. As simple as that. As hard as that. Nothing can be done without you doing it. Nobody can do it for you. Don’t wait for the divine providence to come with the work that only you can do. It’s scaring, I agree. You can lose time. You can lose reputation. You can lose money. But… You can learn. You can grow. You can reach freedom. Up to you. Time to think about what...
When you have something truly valuable to offer the world, don’t beat around the bush or hide behind metaphors. Offer it straight up. No sugar-coating. No fluff. No perfect words. Or borrowed-from-books strategy. Or watched-in-social-media approach. Just raw and real. That’s exactly how I operate when a company or individual asks me for advice. Unfiltered. Without Vaseline. I tell them what’s really going on — and it’s usually not what they want to hear. I say it with fewer words and less...
Some people say they learn more from their mistakes than their successes. That’s true… but that doomed. My non solicited advice of today is “don’t try that in real estate”. You simply cannot keep making mistakes in real estate to learn… you’ll end up broke! The cost a lot of money. There is an old proverb that goes something like this: “A fool learns from his own mistakes, the wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” So, don’t make mistakes that you can learn from others. Many people...
