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”
Expansion inherently carries risks. As a country or business grows, the number of elements needing protection rises significantly, heightening the likelihood of failure. Many say, “Achieving success is challenging, but sustaining it is even more difficult.” Balancing capacity and expansion is often complex; yet, it is crucial to achieve this equilibrium to prevent success from becoming a curse. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
