You won't get right the answer to this question

I have told you this already, but it’s worth to ask the question. ​ What would you prefer? A million euros, dollars, coconuts… whatever... ...Or a cent that doubles every day for a month? ​ When asked this question, your brain tends to activate. Slowly, but you start to do the math. 1 cents, 2 cents, 4 cents... ​ If you are really patience, and your show in Netflix is more boring than normal, the count continues. 8, 16, 32, 64, 1.28€, 2.56€, 5.12€... ​ Your brain notices that the speed is increasing, but after 10 days—one-third of the time the cent will multiply—you only have 5.12€. ​ FAR from a million. ​ "I want the million!"—you quickly ask for it. ​ But continuing with the calculation (those familiar with compound interest might sense the outcome), on day 30 you would have 5,368,709€. ​ Or more than 5 millions… or 5 times the first option or 4 million euros missed. ​ The slow pace at the beginning prevents you from seeing the exponential result. ​ Our poor primitive brains are unable to cope with this… ​ The same happens with knowledge. ​ First you know something new, and you apply it. Then, the next day, or week… you learn something new and you apply it. And again. And again. ​ In two years, you’re a different person. ​ I propose you to start, for example, by this. ​The 15 Lessons Learned of a PPP Project Nightmare​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Ask a woman how she likes men. Once she responds, ask her what her partner is like. Spoiler: nothing to do with it. Ask one of those fanatics of a political party about their beloved leader's best policy. Crickets. Cree, cree, cree. Ask someone about what he wants. Or… Ask yourself. You have no damn clue what you want, much less why you want it. Or… your needs and desires, your fears and aspirations. No clue. Don’t get it yet? One more. You propose to do something in particular… But, a...
“When I have money” is the biggest lie that I hear. “When I have money” is the biggest lie you tell yourself. “When I have money” is the self-impose mantra to keep you poor. You don’t need money to start investing or start a business. You know that. Don’t try to convince you otherwise. Just google “how to” and you’ll get a few ideas. They many not work for you, or this is what you think, that there is for sure something that you can figure out… if you want to, of course. This way of creating...
The gate at my kids' daycare is a Wailing Wall. I don't know if it's some kind of group therapy or what, but people there just can't stop complaining: I’m very busy. The viruses. The kid is always sick. Mucus and more mucus The girl is already smoking… Whatever. But, I’m sure you know that complaining isn’t something exclusive to parents. Complains have been institutionalized. In today's society, defeatism is the norm…. and you’ll see once that Trump wins or Kamala wins the election… just...
