Just my thoughts #0769

What in this world isn’t influenced by politics? Politics shapes art and media alike. It involves governing the world and making decisions that determine the future. Art is a product of that influence. Works of art, media messages, and knowledge recorded in books reflect the spirit of the times and offer clues about what’s ahead. Investing is a risky venture in an uncertain future. Therefore, the ability to appreciate artworks and interpret media messages is a vital skill for professionals in investment. Someone who ignores the arts, the progress of knowledge, and the flow of media messages is unlikely to make wise investments. Loving art purely to gain wealth isn’t ideal, but having a passion for art can help you recognize opportunities for wealth more quickly and sensitively than others, making a life close to art a truly fortunate one. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0283

What defines an elite? Is it someone who has studied a lot and done well? Is it someone who has a lot of experience? If so, is it someone who has a lousy personality despite having prominent abilities? The word elite comes from “meritocracy.” People who have worked harder than others and won the competition believe they should receive more benefits. Excessive meritocracy harms the common good. “If you’re envious and regretful, you do so too! Can’t you do that?” stems from the misguided belief that one’s success and victories are solely due to one’s own efforts. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0077

In wealth, the first is value exchange and the second is added value. "Value exchange" occurs when "need (demand)" comes first. Making and exchanging bread with wheat is a value exchange. The price of bread is higher than the price of wheat grain. The price difference is value added. For value-added to occur, "benefit" must be provided. To provide this "benefit", you have to incur costs and expenses. This is called investment. In other words, the value added is the result of the investment, the surplus is subtracting the costs and expenses from the supply price. You can calculate the value added to make a profit if you first know your investment condition and its amount. "Wealth" only occurs when "value-added" is accumulated. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the USA, even in one country, the time difference between the west and the east is 3 hours. People thought that time was a natural thing. But it is not. It's very political. The time that man lives in a unit of minutes is too short. However, since the invention of the steam locomotive, the appearance of faster vehicles made crazy changes to the concept of time. The shift in distance made people realize what time was. Sandford Fleming, an engineer and inventor, asked to unify the time difference caused by long-distance transportation, but people rejected his request. If the boarding time were not fixed, the railroad would be useless. The history of the 24-hour clock was made only about 140 years ago. Even with the invention of high technology, if nothing is consensus, nothing benefits. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Just my thoughts #0011

On the economic front, a relationship that believes in each other is much more beneficial than an untrustworthy relationship. Disbelief results in inefficiency and leads to increased costs. Nevertheless, most of us choose to be distrustful because our experiences of loss from betraying after we have trusted someone are clearly visible and the benefits of cost savings by trusting someone are invisible. My attitude toward the world determines my actions, in our distorted experience, we regret and conflict daily. Even though we know it's a loss, we continue to cling to our foolish choices. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
