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. They will thank you enormously one day.

Black Friday… In the past, I used Black Friday to buy some Christmas presents… I must admit it. Things have changed. A lot. Just a few news. Not many undesirable emails… I’m just focused on what matters to me. Business (infrastructure & real estate) and family. That’s all....
Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....
Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...
