Optimization: Adjusting something to reach its best state for a specific purpose. We often think that the fastest and strongest options are the best. The fastest way down a slope isn’t a straight line, but a parabola that naturally connects high and low points. A sniper can cause more lethal wounds at 400 meters than at 200 meters. Although the bullet travels faster at 200 meters, the wound size isn’t as large, and at 400 meters, the slower-moving bullet over a longer distance causes more friction as it passes through the wound, resulting in more severe injuries. In every situation, there is an optimal choice suited to the goal. Trial and error are useful for finding this optimization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The value and nature of stocks depend on how much money a company can potentially make for me in the future. In other words, it’s not the present value, but the future value that matters. It’s crucial to be able to provide profits consistently over time. In accounting, this concept is referred to as “going concern.” When you evaluate what you’re doing right now (job, business, investment, etc.) in terms of sustaining revenue generation, many conflicts and considerations diminish because your judgment becomes clearer. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
