Would you play a game where you have 99% chances of losing? Before you answer, listen. Or read… sometimes I forget that this is an email… ​ Well… read or listen. ​ It’s impossible to make an adult to change their mind. Impossible, at least in one conversation, demonstration or else. In fact, the more you try, the more convince that “adult” is on their position. ​ It’s that simple. ​ And if not impossible, let’s say that this won’t happen 99% of the time. ​ Well… ​ People are still playing that game. Over and over. Over and over. Every single day. ​ No wonder why they could be called losers. ​ Still, people argue. People get angry with one another. People lose their friendships. ​ What a waste. ​ And very importantly remember this. Remember it very well. Repeat it every day. People prefer to be right than knowing the truth. I do my things. I let others argue, enter into arguments… I just go with MY flow. ​ I do small investments, some other quite big. ​ Since I don’t argue, I live happier and wealthier, and I go faster. ​ A lot of this is expressed in my philosophy about how approach real estate. ​ If you want to know more… here you can get some clarity. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Not because some are incompetent and have nothing to do but heating and protecting their chairs… that happens sometimes… but because nobody is trying to understand the other...
Yesterday a subscriber told me that writing every day was too much. Too much pressure. I answered back as Grant Cardone would do. “Sir, you’re confusing my belief and passion in knowing this is the right product for you and your company with pressure. Please don’t misinterpret my enthusiasm for pressure. Now, let’s do this”. To all people with passion. To all people that love to deliver better infrastructure. This is for you.

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. They prefer private clients now… aka, data centers and batteries. Projects are small. Lenders are worried. Etc. Look. Every guru out there is writing, talking, showing "projections for 2026"...
