this is insane. i genuinely don't understand why ambitious people aren't shown this lecture before their careers start consuming their entire lives.

clayton christensen spent his career studying why successful companies collapse. in his final class, he asked students to apply the theory to themselves: if you keep allocating your time the same way, what life are you actually building?

he had already seen the answer in his own harvard mba class. everyone looked successful at the fifth reunion; by the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th, many were unhappy, divorced, and living far from their children.

work shows you the score immediately. close a sale, ship a product, finish a presentation, earn a promotion, get paid.

an hour with your child may produce nothing you can measure today; it may take 20 years to understand what that hour built. so the next free hour goes back to work, one rational decision at a time.

this is how people build lives they never planned: through hundreds of right decisions that lead in the wrong direction, day after day.

money, titles, and headcount are easy to count. christensen believed a life should be measured by the people who became better because you were there.

he died in 2020.

one question remains: if someone saw only where your time, energy, and attention went this year, what would they think actually mattered to you?

the full 19-minute lecture is in the video below.

Ayer viendo a Alcaraz pensaba en esto. Dudo puede pueda haber un sistema de puntuación mejor para un deporte como el tenis.

[Oleg S. @AnnaK_4ever]

It's been said million times before but is worth repeating again and again:
Tennis scoring system is genius. You can't run out the clock or take a victory lap even if you have totally outplayed your opponent and deservedly built a huge advantage — it could still be reversed.

Desde que leí esta reflexión (o una similar) hace un par de años, he intentado aplicarla en mi vida, y con el tiempo me he convencido de que es completamente cierta.

Las RRSS, además, ofrecen un contexto perfecto para identificar y reflexionar sobre situaciones de este tipo.

Para entender qué hay detrás de lo que está sucediendo en EEUU y qué efectos va a tener vayamos a la contabilidad nacional.
Sabemos que
Y = C+I+G+(X-M),
Dónde Y es renta, C consumo, I inversión y G gasto público. El paréntesis es el saldo comercial (exp menos imp)

As far as I can tell, the most notable political science results of the 21st century is democracy cannot work well with low fertility rates.

All converge on prioritizing retirees over workers and immigrants over citizens escalating social transfers beyond sustainability.

«No sé si alguna vez lo has pensado, pero la mayoría de las cosas que nos ocurren en la vida podrían definirse en un cruce: te cruzas con alguien, se te cruzan los cables, se cruzan caminos, te toca decidir si cruzas o no. O por qué lado.»
