While the West crumbles, one Eastern European nation is quietly building a superpower:

• Outpacing US economy
• Strongest military in Europe
• Silicon Valley's new favorite $62.7B hub

The rise of Poland is the greatest story nobody's talking about 🧵:
In 1989, Poland was one of Europe's poorest nations.

WWII killed 20% of its population. Then communist rule left it in ruins.

Today?

It's outpacing every EU economy, the USA, and even blazing fast economies like South Korea and Singapore.

But that's just the beginning...

I'm German.

16 years ago, the EU and US economies were neck and neck.

Today, the US economy is 50% larger than the entire EU combined.

Here's the devastating truth behind Europe's ongoing economic suicide 🧵:
First, let's look at the numbers:

• US GDP: $25.5 trillion
• EU GDP: $16.6 trillion

But in 2008, they were nearly equal.

What the hell happened over the past 16 years?

It's simple:

The greatest marketing battle wasn't Coke vs Pepsi.

It was a 26-year-old Steve Jobs against IBM—the biggest tech company on earth.

In 1981, IBM owned 80% of computing. Apple? Just 3%.

A masterclass in how to slay a giant: 🧵
The problem wasn't IBM's technology. It was their soul.

IBM represented everything Jobs despised:

• Corporate conformity
• Bureaucratic thinking
• Computers built for suits

While IBM saw computers as business machines, Jobs envisioned tools for creativity and freedom.

In 2018, everyone was convinced Tesla would die.

Mercedes: 'Bankruptcy by summer'
BMW: 'They'll never mass produce'
Wall Street: 'Production hell'

Then Elon Musk grabbed his pillow and moved into the factory.

What happened next shocked every CEO in the world:
The 2018 situation for Tesla was devastating:

• $2.7B in debt coming due
• Production line robots failing
• 400,000 pre-orders they couldn't fulfill
• Short sellers attacking daily

Traditional automakers weren't just watching.
They were laughing.

When Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he had 90 days to save Apple from bankruptcy.

Everyone in Silicon Valley thought it was doomed.

Steve was right. Everyone was wrong.

It's the comeback story of the century and every entrepreneur must know how he did it 🧵: Jobs, who'd been forced out in 1985, returned to a barely alive Apple in 1997.

After years of mismanagement, the company was worth just $3B (to Microsoft's $148B). Apple stock hit a 12-year low.

I used to think I was rational.

Then I read Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work on human decision-making.

He routinely asks 8 questions to expose cognitive traps you fall into daily.

Test yourself with these questions (it's the ultimate BS detector for your brain):

Question 1: Am I thinking fast or slow?

Kahneman's not impressed by your lightning-fast decisions.

Why? Because your brain has two systems:

• Fast: Intuitive, emotional, unconscious
• Slow: Analytical, logical, conscious

Guess which one Kahneman trusts for big decisions?

Then I read Nassim Taleb's paradigm-shifting concept of "antifragility."

He routinely asks 7 questions to help people & organizations thrive on volatility and uncertainty.

Test your personal Antifragility score with these questions:

Question 1: "How does this system respond to volatility?"

Taleb says true strength emerges from chaos, not stability.

Think about it:

• Does stress break your system, or make it stronger?
• Can you turn market turbulence into fuel for growth?
