What all these things have in common? ​
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. Humanity hadn’t even left Africa, yet we knew that heating water could lift a lid. In Rome, there were toys that moved with steam. And yet, until the 19th century, no one thought to build an engine with it. After that, it sparked the greatest era of human development. Nice, right? And even more embarrassing. Suitcases and wheels have been used for millennia, but until about 20 years ago, no one thought to combine them… In my school, the pioneers, those poor kids that dare to bring rolling backpacks got beaten up… "Here’s a punch—what makes you think you can save your calories by not carrying kilos of paper?" ​ But my favorite is zero. Yes, 0. ​ No human activity is immune to stupidity. Think of finance, management, construction, sales, marketing… no one. ​ Take a look. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ By the way...

Humans have a terrible egocentric problem. Since we walk in and out of the caverns, we thought that we were the center of the universe. Just considering the sun being the center, and not us, humans, cost some people lots of trouble or even their lives. This is why you feel essential in your company or your business. You’re wired to feel like that. There are even people out there that don’t leave their jobs for “not letting the mates down, without me” or for “continuing my legacy”, or any...
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die....
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.
