I don't agree with Theodore Roosevelt

 "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena", Paris 1910


Well the people who occasionally read my Blog know that I believe that the most important thing is the ONE IDEA. You have to have one idea , you have to know where to go, you have to know the direction. To work, to do, to execute is very important but you have to go in the right direction. In the last 20 years everybody that worked in the direction of Cheapest, more convenient and to give a fair deal to the clients won.

why Amazon is winning, of course execution is important but information provided from the previous buyers of that product is the key, you can't go wrong. That is the big idea. Only clients can comment, and you can see what they say about the product. That is a huge difference between the street shop that wants to  sell their inventory and will do anything for that .... I don't trust a salesperson if they have a limited inventory, if a salesperson have a huge inventory he is a consultant and I can give him credit....... If you have to sell A , for sure you are going to praise A.

In school I was not the best student at all, in fact I studied with 2 friends and one of us always come way ahead! We studied the same hours but he was smarter , he got things faster and in one read and that was enough. In life you can repeat, re-read, there is no shortage of time, you can win if you want, Just work and invest. perhaps a bit of Focus helps. Do one thing and do it very well. Read a lot..

If there are no problems we don't need a big government

Wednesday, January 27, 2021 Francisco 0 Comments

In my country, Portugal everybody votes for more Government, we are on our knees. The Government is killing the country to save this and that. For the government nothing is best than a problem. They love problems. Covid is an opportunity to grow, 2008 Financial crisis another opportunity that was not wasted. The Government is broke,  but make no mistake they will transfer the bill to their citizens. What to do? There is plenty to do, you can escape the government. 

First don't listen to news or read newspapers. 




When I mention "the government," I'm referring to the overly bloated structure cobbled together by both political parties. At this point, the term "public servant" is an oxymoron.
All governments, big and small, seem to generally look after themselves at the expense of hardworking folks like you and me.
