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.

Yesterday a few of you came with a question… If we prefer a good narrative to the truth, does it apply to PPPs? Absolutely. PPP includes the words Private and Public. This is meat for bored politicians and newspapers. You have conflicting words… Add Partnership and journalists queue to hit you in the face. No matter what statistics say. No matter how many successful projects have been delivered through a PPP. No matter the risk profiles, the alignment of the parties, the governance… that PPP...
You know that many people are terrified of flying. However, they have no problem travelling by car, even though we all know that, statistically, planes are much safer than cars. Well… welcome to the base rate neglect. Our brain ignoring boring statistics and overvaluing vivid stories. That’s it. We constantly hear statistics about road accidents. But… When there is an aviation tragedy… well… you know what happens. Vivid memories. We like to believe we are purely rational beings making...
My son is now obsessed with rockets. He wants to go to the moon. Good for him. We’ll get there very soon… again. If you don’t know the story of Apollo 13, you should pay attention… because it has lessons for you too. NASA did not become NASA because everything went perfectly. Quite the opposite.
