The important thing is to do what you choose and not what you have to do

One of the many protests that took place this year in the streets of Buenos Aires, demanding more social plans.
One of the many protests that took place this year in the streets of Buenos Aires, demanding more social plans.

A few days ago I heard a phrase that names this note in the film and instead of motivating me to write in a positive and proactive spirit, It ended in a sad feeling for me that, as a country, we maintain a low quality of life by choice and not by what we get.

If they say that someone feels rich when the money he refuses is tastier than the money he receives, Here we feel very bad, Because we get to the end of something. It is inconceivable that we live in a society that thinks and notes the existence of a fiscal deficit but condemns spending cuts or borrowing to finance it. Who wants to finance this fiscal deficit?

With the greatest pleasure of getting you into this space, this time I suggest you learn to say: “Ready, it’s enough, I do not want it for me.”

We who have spent many years walking the streets, in the streets, know this The most important value in business is time. The moment when an investment or placement is decided. The more data we collect to make the right decision, the more likely we are to be confused in it. When one studies the success stories of companies or professionals (artists, lawyers, doctors, journalists, etc.), one discovers how Common factor Intuition, endurance, efficiency and foresight. Because, after all, the one who best explains what most people want and have the courage to do will succeed.

because Learning to say “so far”, “enough” or “I do not want to” is one of the main keys to the transition. Let’s think about an experience (described by Nassim Taleb) of a turkey that was eaten before their Christmas dinner. His self-confidence increased with the repetition of feeding actions and he felt more and more protected, even though the sacrifice was more and more inevitable. Even the day before the family Christmas gathering, the turkey was asked, “How do you feel?” And the turkey replied: “In the best of all worlds. They sing, praise me, decorate me, eat me, life is fantastic. ” Try to report on it on December 26th. Will we be like a turkey?

“It’s inconceivable that we live in a society that thinks and notes the fiscal deficit and condemns spending cuts or borrowing to finance it.”

There is nothing more frustrating for success than the belief that effort will not be rewarded. Small and medium businesses, entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals can not live without making a profit, just as a worker needs his salary, but If we do not take care of and encourage small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs or the self-employed to take risks, create, innovate, there will be no decent employment, Understanding dignity, doing what we choose to do and not what concerns us.

If you believe that the state can change companies and be the one to create jobs, think of the millions of people (as now in some countries or some provinces) who live out of the state, but If we look at their quality of life or their dignity, we will notice that it is from them that the ruler in power lives.

“Citizens who over-trust their government in doing everything not only become dependent on their government, but also They must finally do whatever the government demands. “In the meantime, their initiatives and self-esteem are being destroyed,” said businessman Charles Koch.

Because we already have clear empirical evidence of this in our country A leader spends money worse than a millionaire’s gross son, Because the other spends the money of the father, the leader spends our money and, worse, spends it on our future sacrifice.

The message of the story is very clear: A country that respects individual rights and free trade is far more successful than one that lives by the strict rules of protectionism. Because, in the end, the only one who ends up being protected is the bureaucrat who sets the rules of the game. There is no example of a country that has pushed the boundaries for knowledge and freedom of choice that has become poorer.

It is competition that increases the chances of the consumer to choose. Protecting a monopoly from a friend or state capitalist is only a guarantee of a citizen being a hostage.

It seems we choose to be who we are because There are Argentine leaders who prefer the poor to the poor, just because the successful were less successful; Not because of capital or distribution, but because they ultimately want to occupy this privileged place. Let’s take a look at how they live, where they rest and how they spend their time. ᲠAs it seems The resentment makes them more motivated, And they build power by taking money from some to give a small portion to their followers and another large portion to themselves, and at the end of the road the whole community is impoverished except them.

“There is not a single example of a country opening its borders to knowledge and freedom of choice, which has become poorer.”

Only for a certain period of time can you get some liquidity by seizing someone else’s cash, or be forced to pay an extraordinary or unexpected tax, or just take on debts, but that does not mean you will be able to move forward in the long run. Unless there is a flow, a profitable business or a salary that is sufficient for the day, this random liquidity disappears.

Only for a short time can energy, transportation and gasoline be subsidized. Demand can only be artificially stimulated for a short time, but if there is no long-term investment in the delivery of this service, to increase supply, this subsidy will fall victim, because when the elementary thing is lacking, the price is secondary. In the poorest countries The main suffering is the lack of food, medicine and other basic items. This will be another year when we will have to spend billions of dollars on energy imports. Finally, with imports, we ultimately profit to the detriment of foreign companies and consume dollars from our already scarce reserves.

Only for a certain amount of time can someone cheat, cheat, steal and even look beautiful. But Life in the long run shows that illegally received money will inevitably be hidden! And without having fun with anyone, because “he who laughs at the end, laughs alone.”

Progress means having a better quality of life than our parents had, and that our children have a better quality of life than ours, and that we can enjoy that progress together, not that our children will find it in another country far away from us.

To learn how to say, “Ready, enough, enough for me,” I return to the three main sentences already expressed in previous posts and used in a few more successful communities:

1) that the state, at its national, provincial or municipal level, cannot hire more employees And if anyone in particular is required, their name should be on a competitive basis, because of the opportunities and merits selected, and not for fighting. In this way, government spending will be reduced, without massive layoffs, as the current plant retires.

2) Has declining taxes for those who increase production or investment. For example, if a company scored 100 last year and paid 40, now it produces more than 100, it will not pay taxes. The state will not lose revenue and the employer will have an incentive to increase production, hire employees and increase infrastructure, for example, increase real estate. And this contract should not be changed for 20 years.

3) Hinder the labor suit industry; One of the biggest conditional risks for small and medium businesses. How? Change incentives for. Give more flexibility to create jobs and offer tax breaks for investing in training.

Just not to give in to living what we’s concerned about.
