English people are terrible


Many people don’t believe it but you can become who you want to be.

But you need to want to become that person.

And don’t listen to me.

Look at the data and evidence.

​

One of the classic stories in the field of self-fulfilling prophecies is of a computer in the UK that was accidently programmed incorrectly.

This computer was supposed to be used by a school to put children in the “right” classrooms, i.e., in the classroom of smart people and in the classroom of the dumb people.

​

Yeah… English people are that classist… but that’s for another day.

​

So, the famous computer got it “wrong” and labelled a class of “bright” kids “dumb” kids and a class of supposedly “dumb” kids “bright.”

When the direction of the school finally discovered the mistake five and a half months after the classes started, they decided to test the kids again without telling anyone what had happened.

​

And the results were amazing.

The “bright” kids had gone down significantly in IQ test points.

The “dumb” kids have improved in absolutely everything you can imagine.

It was a question of teachers telling them, directly or indirectly, by acts or omissions, you’re bright and you’ll do great or your destiny is Netflix, fries on the sofa every night.

​

Don’t trust me if you don’t want, just go to the internet and check by yourself.

​

This is why it is so important the people that surround you.

This is why it is so important what you tell yourself every day when you wake up.

This is why it is so important what you think of yourself and what you tell to yourself in your head.

This is why it is so important what you read, study and do… and with which purpose.

​

You are great… because no matter where you are now, you can do great if you want. If interested in mindset, improving, and let the fries in the freezer forever, I’m preparing something for you. It will cost as a Netflix subscription, but it will make more for you than a stupid computer.

I received a message from my kindle. Yes, that thing where you can read on without distractions or notifications. Congrats, 250 days without missing a single day reading… or something like that. I just erased as soon as I saw it. But then, the message stayed in my head. I don’t know when I missed a day… probably a 28 hour flight from Auckland to Madrid or something. When I tell people that I read a minimum of one book per week, they get surprised. “How do you do it? How do you have time?” I...

Let's imagine that you have a business or a job. It doesn't matter. You know how to do something. And you want to show it to the world…. And in the way, you want to make money with it. Maybe build a reputation. Fame. Whatever. A you have a long career and experience. What you’re selling is not garbage. Now, you have two ways of sharing it with the world. You can do it as a confident person. You give maximum value without wasting people's time. Or you can be insecure, with “horror vacui”,...

Consultants are vampires. Old manners, old customs, old dresses, old mentality… they behave as frozen in time. Of course, not all of them. But think a little about it. If you wonder why the construction industry is so behind, what’s their responsibility? In theory, these guys should bring innovation and modernity to the industry. They are the ones that know the most, right? The ones that design our building, bridges and roads… But, a bad revenue structure can fire back and create the wrong...
