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.

They will thank you enormously one day.

I did not know that idea from Bezos. Yes, the Amazon guy. Getting better with time like good wine. Apparently, when organizing meetings he is a weirdoo. And one of his weirdadas is that “if you have to order two pizzas, there are too many people in the meeting”. Of course, he does not care about people fasting.
