@silveira Sao boas mesmo. Meu sobrinho tive uma de esas, e logo de um par de anos quando troco para bicleta de pedais sem rodinhas aprendeu a pedalar em literalmente meia hora.
It took me a while to fully realize the value of something my company achieved years ago, and continues to savor today. It’s one of our greatest quiet advantages, full stop.
It’s not something you hear much about in business circles. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone spend much time on the topic, or even bring it up in conversation, on a conference stage, or behind a podcast mic.
There is, however, lots of discussion about achievement in business. A company can achieve product market fit, operational efficiency, influence, revenue goals, or, ultimately — and hopefully — profitability.
But I’m not taking about those things. Those are the obvious things, the common talking points. And to those you can add the vanity metrics of achievement — social media followers, traffic, views, impressions, open rates, press mentions, gross this or gross that.
All those are what they are, but they aren’t where it’s at.
What I’m talking about is optionality. Achieving optionality is where it’s at.
Optionality is a hearty mix of profit margin, small size, independence, attitude, and freedom. You’ve got to have all of it to have optionality.
If a board is calling the shots, you don’t have much optionality. If your margins are thin, or non-existent, you don’t have much optionality. If the public owns a piece, you don’t have much optionality. If you’re too big to change direction quickly, you don’t have much optionality. And if you’re afraid to speak your mind and stake your point of view, you don’t have much optionality.
Optionality lets you do things no one would give you permission to do. It lets you write excellent software and give it away for free if you choose. It lets you do things that don’t make sense in the current climate, but will long-term. It lets you be early while eventually catches up.
Optionality is ecstasy. It’s making it up as you go, without making excuses. It’s openly changing your mind without having to save face. Optionality is equanimity, the corporate equivalent of enlightenment.
So, entrepreneurs, ditch the bullshit. Abandon growth-at-all-costs. Reject conventional metrics. Scorn hollow acceptance. Instead, hunt for optionality. It's freedom. It's power. It's everything you crave, wrapped in a single, potent package. Chase it relentlessly. And when you get it, don’t let go.
"Es verdad que en Gaza gobierna una repugnante organización fascista y se llama Estado de Israel. Gaza ni siquiera es un territorio ocupado, es un territorio anexionado. Nadie puede entrar ni salir de Gaza sin el permiso de Israel, controlan hasta el agua"
Norman Filkenstein, doctor en ciencias politicas e hijo de judios prisioneros de Auschwitz, define como fascista al apartheid de "Israel".
Una descripción de lo que está haciendo Israel en Palestina escrita por George Orwell en 1946: "El lenguaje político está diseñado para que las mentiras suenen a verdad y los asesinatos parezcan algo respetable; para dar aspecto de solidez a lo que es puro humo."
O restauramos la capacidad de los suelos para retener agua, apostando por la agricultura regenerativa, o la desertificación y la escasez será imparable.
Una solución que resuelve muchos problemas a la vez.👇
Os pedimos un minuto para firmar esta petición del @HuertoV contra el desalojo notificado por el @MADRID . @AlmeidaPP_ aplica tu sentido común, si la nuclear es una energía verde, este huerto para el barrio es como la Amazonía. https://t.co/RMhRVAZeiU
Ayer por la tarde comprobamos que la no respuesta a nuestras peticiones de información eran ciertas… 😳
Tanta prisa, tantos proyectos desmantelados, el trato a la plantilla… todo para que meses después no se sepan ni las obras que se van hacer en lo que era @MedialabPrado
