Just my thoughts #0624

Israeli Kindergarten. Dual-income couples often arrived late to pick up their children. As a result, the kindergarten implemented a rule that parents would face a fine if they were late; however, even though this introduced a penalty system, it also led to more delays in pickup times. By replacing feelings of guilt with money, paying a fee for being late became the new norm. After recognizing the mistake and removing the fine system, what happened? More parents started arriving late. When money becomes involved, the exchange of value fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship. And once that change occurs, it doesn’t revert. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

With a small ego, even minor issues can bruise self-esteem. While both the content and its container hold significance, a larger container can encompass a wider variety of content. The interplay between content and the size of the container creates emotional scars. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The format influences the content. Does coffee served in an attractive cup taste better? Short pants look stylish on some occasions, while others seem tacky or absurd. Why do the same jeans have such varying perceptions? Factors like who wears them, the type of fabric, and the context define their coolness or sloppiness. Effective communication relies on a format that is worthy of quality content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Doing nothing is also media content. The media showed others something with the obsession that something had to be done. The Norwegian national broadcasting company, NRK, showcased only the scenery of the railroad between Bergen and Oslo for 7 hours and 20 minutes in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the railway’s opening. In 2011, they aired 134 hours of ferry service along the fjord coast. Railroad broadcast ratings were 15% (four times the usual), and ferry broadcasts were watched by 64% of all Norwegians. If you know that humans are not the main characters in our lives, you are guaranteed more fun. Proof of existence and achievement is not everything in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
