One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Don’t try to win by crashing into someone charging at you; you’ll only hurt each other and win half the battle or less. Instead, if you sidestep and gently trip your opponent’s legs by hitching your foot, their own momentum will spell doom for them. Fighting isn’t about strength; rather, strength pertains to direction, not intensity. Righteousness comes from the art of effort, the wisdom of reading directions, and grasping situations. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
