There is a sure way to earn more money, better jobs, a faster career advancement, or vice versa, to stay where you are and not to waste what you gain when others are removed or lost in a career the moment they built in half the life. Sure, there is an entrance fee here. You will have to give up sleep, accept becoming blacker to the face, perish your appetite, hurt, ulcer, and psoriasis.
For years, every day, I listen directly from the mouth of those who do the big business and make important decisions in Romania how things happen, who and how they do it, why, who, who and how they bother, what they think and what they say the others, how they react.
That's my job, to listen to people. I also ask some questions, then listen again, and so on. I can also note, of course, that I can not even remember everything. At first I was very much surprised to see how I can accept people to lose, to lose much, sometimes even very much, or all, well and definitively, so in a moment.
And conscious, that is assumed. And then I was surprised to see how many they were. I, with a mathematical band and intelligent man reflexes, react with the instinctive revolt. Until I made a serious introspection one night, and I saw that I was doing this every day. It's right, more subconscious, because my positivist and Cartesian band detected a cognitive dissonance and consciousness to keep me from stressing and getting to the hospital before time. Not to mention that, by doing a comparative analysis, the level measured at me appeared to be systematically much higher than the average.
There is also something called the "survivor syndrome" that is often confused with pride.
Mental, most people think they are smarter than they are clearly clearer than fellow men. It also overestimates its chances.
That's why there are thousands of books published and some best sellers, thousands of researchers and some Nobel prizes.
And in the business world most business ideas go to the stage of ideas, most companies go bankrupt in 3 years, and most of those who resist 10 years do not have more than 10 employees.
I think the little "survivor syndrome" mixed up with the pride.
