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.

And if something goes wrong, someone will just raise another round. Beautiful. I love start-ups… And business plans written by people who...
Good morning, Very boring news from the Philippines. No megaproject render. No minister standing in front of a bridge that does not exist. No announcement of a new $5 billion airport, railway, tunnel, hospital, spaceport, floating city, or “transformational infrastructure corridor unlocking generational growth.” Just this: The Philippines PPP Center continues to train public agencies, local governments and private proponents on how to prepare, evaluate and manage PPPs and unsolicited...
I’m still recovering from the images of the invasion of Ceuta. For those who don’t know, Morocco sent. through action or inaction, around 80,000 people into Ceuta, a Spanish city in North Africa.
