When investing in a market where asset trading is ongoing, persistent, and prices are constantly fluctuating, the most important factor is the perception and attitude toward “time.” Here, time refers to a defined “period,” a concept that encompasses the “past,” “present,” and “future.” Knowing the future can make us wealthy. All we know is the “past,” but in reality, even the past is often not fully understood. That is, we must admit we lack complete knowledge about the past, present, or future. In this state, we must conduct business and invest. The attitude toward business and investing is to focus on judging the “trend” by applying the concepts of differential and integral calculus simultaneously. Differential weather (e.g., morning and afternoon of a day) is easy to predict, but long-term future weather cannot be forecasted even by supercomputers.

Even the question of existence—whether to be or not to be—is grasped through the lens of relationships. There is no fact without a relationship, and the fact itself is neither true nor false; instead, the relationship determines its truthfulness or falsity. In other words, if you view truth and falsehood as absolute, you will navigate the world with a rigid mindset.
