An asset is the foundation of all economic activity. If you have assets, you can run a business and settle your debts. The ways to create assets are ‘how one works,’ ‘how to receive gifts from others,’ and ‘how to purchase assets made by others.’ There is a way to steal, but it is a crime. If you don’t initially own an asset, the simplest and almost the only way to create one is to produce something with your own labor. Whether the product is a service or a good, it must be produced unconditionally. Trading products creates added value. Thinking about trading later and making products first is the fastest and most basic way to escape poverty. Therefore, produce even the smallest things every day. Knowledge, records, art—whatever! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One of the principles prevailing in the natural world is that the stronger prey upon the weaker. The strong eat the weak. Thus, people seek strength. However, the statement that the stronger prey upon the weaker is partly correct and partly incorrect. The principle that survival of the fittest prevails in this world suggests that those who adapt survive. “ Adaptation ” is the strongest thing in the world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
