If God granted me only one ability to become wealthy, I would not hesitate to ask for the skill of ‘storytelling.’ ‘Storytelling’ is the ability to choose how to interpret the same phenomenon or fact and how to communicate the message I want to convey persuasively. Ultimately, the world takes sides and gains support through the interpretation and explanation of stories. Gaining attention and support from people is the foundation for achieving a lot from nothing. In a time when there was no modern media, the most popular people were grandmothers and grandfathers who could tell entertaining oral stories every night before bed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Cotton needs 500 mm of water to produce cotton wool, and 1 kg of cotton wool requires 8,500 liters of water to fill 40 baths. A fashion company can make a pair of jeans from this. It needs at least 2,700 liters of water to create a T-shirt. This amount is enough for one person to use as drinking water for three years. Clothing consumption has recently increased by an average of 60% each year on Earth. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was the fourth-largest lake in the world, but it has now shrunk to one-tenth of its original size, as river water has been used to grow cotton due to increased consumption. Few people are concerned about how their consumption affects the global environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
