An asset is the foundation of all economic activity. If you have assets, you can run a business and settle your debts. The ways to create assets are ‘how one works,’ ‘how to receive gifts from others,’ and ‘how to purchase assets made by others.’ There is a way to steal, but it is a crime. If you don’t initially own an asset, the simplest and almost the only way to create one is to produce something with your own labor. Whether the product is a service or a good, it must be produced unconditionally. Trading products creates added value. Thinking about trading later and making products first is the fastest and most basic way to escape poverty. Therefore, produce even the smallest things every day. Knowledge, records, art—whatever! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In a society and organization where we live together, balance and dedication are essential. Balance refers to the proper allocation of resources within the organization, while dedication means devoting energy to others. This balance and dedication are always necessary whenever we are with others, yet contradictions arise here. In other words, the energy for dedication emerges when the balance is disrupted. Since both cannot be established simultaneously, it is important to maintain the cycle properly. First, we achieve balance; then it is disrupted for a while, necessitating the devotion of our energy, after which we need a cycle to regain balance again. Organizations function within this cycle. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
