You'll ignore the signs
|
It’s one of those images that were hidden. They remained unnoticed to me until two and a half years ago… when my child was born. Cigarette butts. You see them on the floor on every street, on every public square, on every children playground, in Spain. Despite signals. Despite campaigns by the government. Despite science. Despite basic education. Despite the ability to read the “smoking kills” of every package. ​ People are attached to old habits despite they know they are bad. No matter what you try to persuade, they won’t change. They are doomed. They are condemned. ​ The same happens in other aspects of life, not just that unhealthy habit. Getting attached to toxic couple. Getting attached to toxic jobs. Getting attached to poisonous pay checks. Never looking for a way out… That is evident many times. You have the signs. The information. The models. And still… you won’t use that way out. ​ Don’t believe me? ​ Here you are a sign. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

These days, still in Spain, I had the opportunity to talk to many infrastructure professionals. Things are slow. Bad. Nothing new. Construction companies are risk averse.

It's as typical as the new year eve. It arrives every year. Together with their mistakes. And my friends, gurus included, forget...
You learn by doing. As Robert Kiyosaki said if you think that mistakes are bad, you’re doomed. Imagine yourself with this attitude: “I’ve taken action, I’ve made some mistakes, and now I can learn from those mistakes”. In this case, you’ll be a much richer person. In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
Small children don’t wait. They come with their “wee, wee” statement… like a Change Notice on Christmas Eve. And it means now. Not in 1 min, that I’m eating. No. Just right now. In a rush, you take over everything you need for such a complex operation. Peeing in a public / restaurant toilet. And you arrive in a rush. Then, you realized the obvious thing. Too many tables. Too many people eating. Too few bathrooms. The waiting list announces the inevitable. A wee-wee accident. Kids are not made...
