The physical value of a book is a measurable cost of paper, printing, and labor charges, but estimating the value of the book’s contents is difficult. Most intangible values are similarly challenging to assess. We purchase the intangible value of a book at its physical price. When revenues are generated, the added value produced can be realized. These revenues arise solely from sales, which are based on price, not value. In essence, there is always an imbalance between price and value, and this imbalance determines whether one is wealthy or poor. Management is the act that shifts this imbalance in my favor. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
An effort is not meaningless in itself, but it does not guarantee progress. Instead, progress is a result of time. Effort leads to progress over time. At this point, there’s a premise: time-flow! Some things can only be seen with age. The passage of time transforms both the world and myself. I simply need to make an effort to adapt to the world’s changes. After all, effort equates to persistence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
