Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company. So, continuing your education, trying new things, get exposed to new people, thinking, mindsets, businesses, opinions, etc. is just a way to give you more options.

I’m writing this from China… I’m here for a trade fair… well… two. Tiles. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Doors. Windows. As you know, I’m building my real estate empire on the side. Which means moving my @ss, meeting suppliers, asking questions and starting from zero somewhere nobody particularly cares what I did before. Former CEO? Lovely. Board experience? Wonderful. Twenty years in infrastructure? Very impressive, sir. Now, how many toilets would you like? Fair enough. Look. There’s a lesson here...
Any project in the world has a meeting like this. The most senior person says: “I think this is an excellent opportunity.” Suddenly, everyone discovers they think so too. Extraordinary. Twenty minutes earlier, the project looked like a hostage note. Now it’s “a compelling investment proposition.” The spreadsheet hasn’t changed. The boss has spoken. 1961 During the planning of the Bay of Pigs invasion Presidential adviser Arthur Schlesinger had serious reservations. He put objections in...
The story about King Xerxes is fascinating, and you should know it. Look. Some clients send an angry email when infrastructure fails. Others call their lawyers. King Xerxes had even a more ambitious escalation procedure. He whipped the sea. Yes. Apparently, the King was very ambitious, in general. He had bridges built across the Hellespont so his Persian army could cross into Europe. Until here… All good. The issue is that a storm destroyed the bridges. At the time, they did not have ACONEX...
