Compared to the era of a self-sufficient barter economy, everyone’s happiness is greater in the exchange economy, where each person divides their labor into what they do best and exchanges what they produce. This is because the division of labor is more efficient than self-sufficiency in productivity and can further reduce production costs. At this point, a means of exchange agreed upon by society is required, which is called money (currency). In other words, in the exchange economy, specialists who excel in one field are more advantageous for survival than ordinary people. An all-round player is more likely to face starvation. Therefore, a generalist is only advantageous for survival when they can organically integrate their diverse abilities in a specific field or situation, while also managing and restricting the scope of their activities and conditions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
I often say that the small things you consistently practice each day will change your life. People may think it is difficult to do so. However, this doesn’t mean that the practice itself is easy or hard; rather, it’s challenging to prioritize that little task every day. Why? Small things happen daily, and results take time to manifest, while small changes don’t significantly influence our profits. However, if these practices are regular and steady, it presents a different story. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
