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”
Some people consider “what I have” to be “property,” like “money.” In other words, “All of Mine” = [All my things] - [All I have inherited] - [All I have received as gifts] - [All of the others] - [All I have stolen]. By the way, while there is wealth among [mine], temperament and ability are also crucial resources, in addition to properties such as talent, networks, sincerity, perseverance, attitude, intimacy, determination, courage, wit, and wisdom. Escaping crises and fostering development must begin with “All of Mine.” The success and progress made by [All of the others] is an illusion. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
