I reward good behavior to the point that opportunity cost of bad behavior is too high \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>He who never arrived at school afraid of being beaten up was&#8230; a bully.<\/li>\n<li>A way to understand how developed a nation is is watching how drivers treat pedestrians.<\/li>\n<li>When government policies fail, many think that whoever implemented them was evil. Why is it so hard to think they were just wrong?<\/li>\n<li>One of the benefits of doing well is be able to say what you believe is true. Also one of the benefits of not running for office.<\/li>\n<li>Some have a hard time changing their mind because they think that when they change their mind they change their values.<\/li>\n<li>In life you should aim very high. Because, if you miss, you may still end up high enough.<\/li>\n<li>In my world everything is possible, some things are probable, few are likely and nothing is certain<\/li>\n<li>One of the reason that such few people are successful in business is because few understand the concept of probability tied to risk<\/li>\n<li>Two benefits of the crisis, less pollution, less money for corruption.<\/li>\n<li>The ego concept has evolved over time to only mean big ego. But having the right amount of ego is essential to do well in life.<\/li>\n<li>Being Jewish is a culture that sometimes comes accompanied by a religion.<\/li>\n<li>Americans think Europe has a lot of crazy laws. Europeans think America has a lot of crazy lawyers.<\/li>\n<li>I think all languages should start calling countries by the name they chose for themselves. We would all learn more about the world.<\/li>\n<li>Shaving used to be the only activity that felt like it would last for weeks but only lasted a day. Now it&#8217;s shaving and updating apps.<\/li>\n<li>The problem with generalizations is bad generalizations, others are extremely useful, in business and in life.<\/li>\n<li>You are only as happy as your saddest child<\/li>\n<li>In German the word for blame and debt is the same: schuld<\/li>\n<li>A company stops being a start up when it becomes self sufficient, profitable, sustainable.<\/li>\n<li>International security worries nowadays are not about tanks, but about banks.<\/li>\n<li>Knowing how to explain yourself is almost more important than having something to say.<\/li>\n<li>Hedge funds exist because even though information is widely distributed intelligence is not.<\/li>\n<li>Copyright holders make a mistake calling file sharers Pirates. Pirates are likable characters for kids.<\/li>\n<li>Holding yourself to a high standard is great. But for happiness sake, better set somewhat lower standards and overachieve.<\/li>\n<li>Many think there&#8217;s a lot of value in secrecy. But in start ups there is a lot more value in sharing!<\/li>\n<li>I would love to see a calendar that is made of days of the year from 1 to 365 without regard to weeks of months.<\/li>\n<li>People think that an IPO makes people rich when what it does, is it makes them liquid.<\/li>\n<li>I wonder what the world would be like if transplanting a brain was as easy as transplanting a kidney<\/li>\n<li>Universities make a mistake funding research through teaching. Being good at research does not mean being a great teacher.<\/li>\n<li>What works best in the world is capitalism moderated by a welfare state.<\/li>\n<li>One positive aspect of Twitter is that it encourages people to disclose things that otherwise they would keep to themselves.<\/li>\n<li>During the last decades, we have gone from wanting to know to wanting to believe. Last time we did that we got the Middle Ages.<\/li>\n<li>Maybe Catholic countries have more problems in becoming democratic because catholicism isn&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<li>When dressing formally men are supposed to look all alike and women to make sure that none of them look alike.<\/li>\n<li>Entrepreneurs are smart people with a compass for opportunity<\/li>\n<li>10 years later: the Internet Bubble was not Internet destroying the financial sector but the financial sector destroying Internet.<\/li>\n<li>Considering how unAmerican Jesus was in his thinking it is surprising how much he is followed in USA<\/li>\n<li>Some say there are too many people in the planet but I think that there are more people to come up with solutions to our problems.<\/li>\n<li>I wonder how many products we use regularly would improve if there were no patents.<\/li>\n<li>Complacency: if you repeatedly tell people how great they are they may not be so for much longer.<\/li>\n<li>The problem with experience is that it makes you apply old solutions to new problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"mainphotoarea\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-buttons\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/?p=6176\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"box_count\" data-width=\"71\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-font=\"arial\" data-locale=\"en_US\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past two years I&#8217;ve published lists of what I call tweetphorisms (tweets + aphorisms).
