Yesterday I saw that Trump is taking the lead in the pools. That’s terrible. It’s so bad, so bad for you, for the economy and the democracy, that… It’s at least as bad as… if the other lady wins the election. Or as good as… Or as irrelevant as… If you look at any elections or any government with the hope of them changing your life, forget it… unless, of course, you want to be a slave of the system. The maximum thing that Trump winning or the other lady winning will do is changing your mood…...

Jack Trout, advertiser, author. A machine you should look for in God Google. This guy said that “We live in the first over-communicated society in history”. I repeat. "Over-communicated," Oh, what a term, what insight, what interesting idea… you may be thinking. Yeah, but wait. Let me tell you two more things. First, he said this in the 70s. Yes. Over-communication, in the 70s. Do the math. Second, this means success is no longer about having information. Not anymore. For 200,000 or maybe...

What all these things have in common? Anesthesia Electroshock Helicopter Steam engine Suitcases with wheels Zero Don’t get it? Nothing… just that they don’t make sense. Let me explain. We’ve been using anesthesia for decades, but until a few years ago, no one knew how it worked… and everyone considered that they were safe! You might think of electroshock as torture… well, the reality is that it’s used and it works to alleviate certain symptoms. We don’t precisely know why it works....

In 1965, a Hungarian man named László Polgar wrote several letters to a woman named Klara. This guy wanted to have some discussions with Klara under sheets. Moreover, this Polgar was obsessed with one idea: "A genius is not born; a genius is trained and educated." He took his obsession to such an extreme that the only thing he aimed to convince Klara of with his strange letters was the need to start a family where they could create geniuses. Just the two of them, raising their children to be...

You’ve probably seen already the latest video of Elon… Not the one with robots, that’s for another day. The video where SpaceX catches a rocket… aka, they made it land under control. First try. And they succeed. That’s history. In 1000 years, people will look at this moment as we look today to the fall of Constantinople… or the “invention” of the steam engine. A change of era. In theory in 3 hours, we can reuse that rocket and do a new “SEND”. More or less like planes today. They won NASA,...

If you have a stable job where you save a portion of your salary each month, yet your financial situation isn’t where you’d like it to be, perhaps you're aiming in the wrong direction. As I’ve said many times, cutting expenses to save money is fine; it’s necessary. But creating new sources of income is much more effective. It’s not about cutting expenses by 100, 200, or 300 euros or dollars or whatever a month, but about increasing your income by 100, 200, or 300 a month. Mathematically, the...

You feel stuck? Do promotions go to someone else? Do you think that you deserve more? Then… You have to move your ass. I’ve seen this many times. Great professionals. Technical remarkable. The best of the best. So good… that they remained stuck. Why is that? Simple. You’re doing such a good job, that you boss doesn’t want to lose you and want to stay where you are. If you think that simply because you are good, they’ll think of you when the time comes… you’re wrong. Trust me. I’ve been there....

Every day you can see examples. Our society is clearly weaker and weaker by the day. You browse around a little, and you see a post with hundreds of likes. I stop, curious. And what do I see? The dopamine injection of feel-goodism that dulls us all. See below: The true luxuries of life are: Slow mornings with coffee, staring at nothing. A good night's sleep. A fit body. Peace of mind. Living in the present moment. The freedom to choose what you want to do. Being surrounded by people you love....

You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. Don’t believe it? Well… let’s check. You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to wake up early. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but......
