Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work. We define ourselves when we choose our company to our family. We define ourselves when we watch television instead of reading a book on business or investing. We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves. We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves. You’ve already had a few defining moments today. What you choose from now on… it’s up to you. But now, I hope that you are conscious of every decision you make.

And the previous users had consumed the strategic reserve. Anyone working in infrastructure should recognise the situation… the pattern… and the claims. So they installed a camera, connected it to their computer...
A German and a Swiss engineer build a bridge… Sounds like the start of a joke. But it is real. It happened in Laufenburg. The two countries used different reference levels for measuring elevation. A 27-centimetre difference. The engineers knew about it. So they corrected it. With the wrong sign. The difference became 54 centimetres. Beautiful. Two countries working together to make one problem twice as big. There’s a lesson here… The pictures are in the internet. If you’re not sure exactly...
Imagine the meeting. A team arrives with a brilliant infrastructure idea. Good engineers. Beautiful drawings. Some very expensive lawyers wearing 5.000 suits… so that you know well where your money is going… They may even have intellectual property. Actual IP. Something more substantial than putting “proprietary” in the footer. The project will reduce congestion, create jobs and transform the economy. Of course. Nobody has ever arrived at a minister’s office promising to make traffic worse....
