THE JAPANESE METHOD OF RAISING CHILDREN WHO LISTEN THE FIRST TIME.
By age, from Japanese practice:
1. They keep their voice low, especially when the child is loud.
Al hilo de una conversación con el tipazo @joantubau me he puesto a reflexionar y a hacer unos números rápidos. Cuando yo tenía 27 años (hace ya un ratito…) ganaba 24.000€, lo mismo que gana mi hijo de 27 años ahora, más o menos. Mismo sueldo 27 años más tarde. Y di la entrada para mi primer piso que era una monada y en un buen barrio de Pamplona y me costó 114.000€. Es decir, 4,75 años de salario. Acabo de ver en @idealista que se vende uno en el mismo edificio y el precio por metro cuadrado se ha triplicado casi. Es decir mi piso valdría hoy unos 310.000. A mi hijo le costaría 13 años de su salario. El que niegue el problema está ciego de remate.
Sube la confianza en Milei.
Baja la confianza en el periodismo.
Argentina está mejor.
Quizás el problema nunca fue la realidad, sino quién te la contaba.
Elon Musk sent every Tesla employee a memo that took authority away from their managers and handed it to them.
He never asks for more hours. Every rule moves a decision closer to the person doing the work.
Musk: “Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies and almost always get worse over time.”
Companies have a role for everyone who creates process and no role for anyone who removes it. Meetings and approval chains survive because removing them was never anyone’s job.
Musk: “Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value.”
Attendance has always been treated as proof of commitment. He made it worthless, and contribution became the only thing that counts in the room.
Musk: “It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.”
Ordinary manners protect whoever called the meeting. He moved that protection to everyone else sitting quietly with real work waiting on them.
Musk: “Don’t use acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software, or processes at Tesla. Anything that requires an explanation inhibits communication.”
Internal vocabulary converts knowledge into status and charges every newcomer a fee to participate.
A company that speaks plainly can absorb talent at full speed.
Musk: “Communication should travel via the shortest path necessary to get the job done, not through the chain of command.”
Most good ideas die in transit, three levels below anyone with the power to act on them.
Musk: “Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.”
The only threat in the entire memo. A manager who insists on being routed through is buying his own relevance with everyone else’s time. Musk put a price on it.
Musk: “Always pick common sense as your guide. If following a company rule is obviously ridiculous in a particular situation, the rule should change.”
Following a bad rule normally shields you. Exercising judgment exposes you.
He flipped which one carries the risk, and every rule now has to earn its place against the person applying it.
Every institution drifts toward protecting its own comfort. The ones that keep building are held together by people who rewrite the rules back down to something a single person can act on.
Nothing on that list requires a budget, a headcount, or a title.
You can run the entire memo from wherever you are sitting right now. Most people never test it and never learn it was permitted the whole time.
Self-mastery doesn't mean controlling our emotions, eliminating vulnerability, or becoming perfect. Rather, it’s the ability to understand what is happening inside us and increasingly choose how we want to respond. And it starts here. https://t.co/8T6TjLcd6u
I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
Hay que ser conspiranoico pero con lo positivo. Ese tipo de percepción se tiene que entrenar. Estamos diseñados más para percibir lo malo y esto para no cometer errores que atenten con nuestra supervivencia pero no con nuestra paz mental.
El Scrolleo vuelve torpes tus funciones ejecutivas para cumplir metas a corto y largo plazo, sobre todo la atención y concentración que estan constanmente estimulados por la novedad. Por eso tu tolerancia al aburrimiento y a la no novedad esta haciendo cada vez menos esto hace que estes más proclive a experiencias depresivas, aburridas, ansiosas y necesidad de estar estimulado.
Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.
Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world.
