The riskiest way to prove you’re right:

Sometimes it’s necessary to take desperate actions so the world takes you seriously. A good example is Barry Marshall, who made a… let’s say, “sacrifice” in order to force the medical community to turn their heads: From the first industrial revolution until the early 1980s, everyone “knew” that stress was the cause of stomach ulcers. (It’s logical, don’t you think?… more stress -> more acid -> ulcers) Dr. Marshall disagreed, and set to work. Marshall partnered with the conveniently named Robin Warren to show that stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria. Hundreds of biopsies, cultures and experiments later, his hypothesis was practically ... [keep reading...]

The end of “Two Moon Junction” has a valuable lesson for your life:

If you haven’t seen ‘Two Moon Junction’ it is something like the first cousin of ‘Nine and 1/2 Weeks’. B-Movies that used to air (or are still aired…?) at midnight. Well, there’s something we can take from the[SPOILER] ending: In the movie, April (Sherilyn Fenn) is about to marry Chad (Martin Hewitt). But while walking through a Carnival, April sets her sights on Perry (Richard Tyson), a guy who looks like Fher on steroids. Anyway, the fact is that April ends up getting tangled up with Perry. That’s it, I just told you 95% of the movie. Until the very ... [keep reading...]

This “To Kill a Mockingbird” dialogue is CRITICAL in Sales:

In 1960, Harper Lee debuted as a writer with “To Kill a Mockingbird,” becoming instantly famous. (Just like Guns ‘n Roses did with Appetite for Destruction) A dialogue of this novel is important in persuasion: Atticus Finch (Performed in the novel’s movie adaptation by the impeccable Gregory Peck), is the father of Jem and Scout. They both like the temper of their uncle Jack, who is always joking (and smelling a bit of alcohol). Atticus beckons Jack to tell him something in private. He approaches him and says: — Jack, when a child asks you something, answer him without a [show]… children ... [keep reading...]

How to unlock the SPECIAL SKILLS you already have:

It's hard to forget Liam Neeson's legendary words in the movie "Taken": "I don't have money. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills". Cartoonist Scott Adams shares that description... and guess what? you too: Adams started cartooning while working at what we would assume a very boring job. After being repeatedly passed over for promotion, his frustration piled up. “The day you realize that your efforts and rewards are not related, it really frees up your calendar”, he'd say. But 'free up your calendar' is an euphemism, as he had to draw his cartoons at ... [keep reading...]

“Am I ready?” is the WRONG question. Better, ask yourself this:

Education is empowering, but grades and titles foster a silly competition over whose resumé is bigger. That reminds me of Williamina Fleming, who became immortal in a very odd way: Williamina was a Scottish woman in her early 20s when she found herself in quite a predicament. She had moved to the United States with her husband, whom she had just married. He left her as soon as they got there. Oh, and she was pregnant. Returning to Scotland was not an option, so she started to work as a maid for Edward Pickering, an astrophysicist and director of the Harvard ... [keep reading...]

How to DESTROY any doubts about your capacity

Arrogance is usually frowned upon, as everyone says that you should always be humble and modest. But a couple sentences from Albert Einstein in 1919 are a great example of the only attitude that will get you far: In 1919, a solar eclipse had special significance for the scientific community. It was an opportunity to prove Einstein's general theory of relativity; he predicted that the curvature of space would distort the light of stars . They would bend like "Wanted" movie bullets. An expedition was organized and they finally confirmed that Einstein was right. One of his pupils asked him, ... [keep reading...]

A funny proof that most obstacles are NONEXISTENT:

"The real enemy is within your mind" is a really worn out cliché... that will still be true no matter what. There's an anecdote of famed orchestra director Artur Rodzinski that helps illustrate this perennial fact: One evening, Rodzinski was driving when he saw a billboard announcing an open-air concert that was being broadcasted by radio at that very moment. The program included one of his own specialties: Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, directed by Fabien Sevitzky. He didn't respect Sevitzky much, but he tuned in to the broadcast anyway. The concert had already begun. Just a few seconds in, and he ... [keep reading...]

Why your offer should always be absurdly high when negotiating:

I’d like you to imagine the following scene. At some point in the late fifteenth century, Christopher Columbus went full Shark Tank pitching to the Catholic Monarchs his project of reaching the Indies directly across the Atlantic Ocean. He asked for ships, crew and provisions to do what everyone (supposed) could be done because since ancient Greece it was already known that our planet was round… but no one dared to slash it proven. The fact is that Columbus was quite persistent and spent nine (Yes, 9!) Years requesting financing for the expedition. We can picture him standing in front ... [keep reading...]

Sometimes I like watching people fail. And fail in a BIG way.

Have you heard the expression "It is not enough to succeed... others must fail, too!" Yeah, it's mean, makes (sometimes) zero sense, but it always manages to get me a chuckle. Especially because sometimes, some people absolutely deserve to fail. Take for example the nice success of the Super Mario Bros' movie opening weekend. Broke the record for animated films. Nintendo and Universal Studios are ready to take a dip in Scrooge McDuck's vault. Who's the big loser here? Disney and Pixar, and with good reason. They have embarrassed themselves over and over again in the last few years just pouring ... [keep reading...]

My 3 tactics to become unreadable

I get these questions a lot. "I am too expressive... I would like to tone down my gestures" "How can I control my body language and not get nervous?" "Sometimes I think people misinterpret my face" Here's the thing: you can control your body language, but you don't really want to control your body language. Let me explain. I used to be a 'controlled body language' advocate. Assume postures and gestures to execute at any given time. It worked... sometimes. To be honest, it worked only once, when I gave a 38-minute lecture back in 2012 which I rehearsed to every ... [keep reading...]
