Rigid Lives

I want you to ask yourself.

WHY did you set up your life so rigidly

The world's rate of change is INCREASING.

When you buy a house at a fair price, you're essentially making a bet.

The bet is that over the next 20 YEARS, people will still want to live where you live.

Do you know what's one of the worst investments in modern history

SKYSCRAPERS.

Some Hedge Fund manager must've thought 30 years ago.

"People will always need an office in NYC, impossible to fail"

HOW'S THAT THEORY WORKING OUT FOR HIM.

Inflexible decisions, lead to RUIN.

In chess, you plan your attack based on the opponent's pawn structure, WHY

Because a pawn cannot move back to where it was, its movement is PERMANENT.

It's RIGID.

You, reading this. Are most likely completely inflexible.

Most of you aren't prepared for massive changes.

You live rigid lives, you just don't FEEL IT because everyone around you is the same.

All of you are completely at the mercy of the world.

Because when the world moves quickly, rigid things BREAK.
