You're a loser if you play this game
|
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.

Faster close. Cleaner risk transfer. Put a medal in the chest for opening the day before election day. So they did what PPP manuals love to say: “Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it.” That sentence has probably financed more claims for lawyers than any other in infrastructure history....
This is the key question that made his face change. Last week. A mentee. Shocked by a very simple question. Look, I’ve seen through the years people living in a cage. Of self-imposed believes and limitations. You can blame your parents, your wife or husband, society, the lefties, Bad Bunny or Donald T. Whatever. These limitations, self-imposed, are holding you back. If you believe that it’s impossible to multiply by 10 your income… You’ll miss the opportunity of letting your brain being in...
Once I had a friend called Valentin. His parents gave him that name long time ago because he was born on 14 February. In Spain, there are still many people naming their children with the name of the saint of the day… or the day they were married, or things like that. Well… His parents could not foresee at the time the long term consequences of their choice. San Valentine was not at the time the word-wide phenomenon that it’s today. But still… there was some noise. Well… The thing is that...
