People prefer to be right to make money. People prefer to be right to win projects. People prefer to be right to deliver projects. ​ Keep that in mind. ​ Power points, papers, boring conferences to celebrate how much theoretical knowledge we have about nothing. ​ People get this always wrong. ​ When people seek advice about business, they think that it’s a serious mistake to only accept criticism from people making millions. When people seek advice about delivering a major bridge, they think that it’s a serious mistake to only accept criticism from people having delivered one exactly the same. ​ ​ From now on, I’ll take fitness advice from Geoge Lucas, turn to Mike Tyson when I want to learn about making movies, and brush up on my math with Joe Biden. ​ If you'd rather ignore this and believe that rich people are mostly fools or scammers—and that helps you sleep at night—go ahead and enjoy your mental gymnastics. ​ You know who tends to make things better? Anything? ​ ​ Up to you…

If your life is not something you’d recommend to anyone (or at least not to someone you like), then you’ve got two options. And they’re refreshingly simple: 1. The system's premium package: Complain and do nothing. Blame your...
They called it Berlin Brandenburg Airport.A “flagship” project.Germany’s answer to efficiency.Built for the public. Delivered by a “consortium.” They forgot one tiny detail: systems. Unbelievable when you are talking about Germany, right? But real. Fire safety? Didn’t work.Smoke extraction? Backwards.Wiring? Rewired 3 times.Doors? Over 1,200 installed — then reversed — then reinstalled. Because the systems didn’t talk to each other.Because no one was in charge of systems...
“Winners and losers have the same goals. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” This is what James Clear says in his book, Atomic Habits. A book you should study if you want to do any good in life. People still behave as beheaded chickens in life. Jumping from a shiny object to the next. From a low-key task to the next. From a fire to the next. No systems. No learnings. Don’t show me the wheel, I’m too busy pushing this rock. I’ve seen this...
