Debt : The essence of wealth is ‘debt.’ Liabilities are regarded as debt capital and included as assets in accounting . Isn’t it odd? Debt is classified as an asset... The fundamental idea that currency is created based on the principle that debt arises is crucial. Debt can serve a positive purpose by lowering opportunity costs , but it can also be harmful if not repaid, as it deprives others of their opportunity costs since it must be paid back. Managing debt properly is essential for a company's capabilities in certain situations. Understanding others’ debts can help maintain good credit. However, there are limits to examining others’ debts. Instead, we can monitor the flow of money as an apparent interest rate. Therefore, recognizing and responding to interest rate fluctuations during economic activities is extremely important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars, towering about three times higher than Mt. Everest. Its area, covering 295,000 ㎢, surpasses the size of the Korean Peninsula (220,850 ㎢) and is nearly equivalent to that of France or Arizona. While Olympus Mons has a greater height than any mountain on Earth, its vast area results in an average slope of only 5 degrees. As a result, hikers who ascend Olympus Mons often feel as if they are traversing a flat plain. For humans, the steepness of a climb matters more than its height. For example, ascending a steeper 5 m pole can be more challenging than gradually scaling a 500 m mountain. In life, choosing the right slope to climb is often more crucial than focusing solely on the height reached, whether going uphill or downhill. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
