Credit Rating and Required Rate of Return: Suppose you and Warren Buffett borrow money from a bank. The bank will assess your credit ratings differently. Maybe the bank could offer Warren Buffett a loan without interest since it can be advertised as a bank used by the renowned investor. However, it will likely charge you interest because you have a lower credit rating and less fame than Warren Buffett. The interest rate each borrower faces, based on their creditworthiness, is called the required rate of return for creditors. Under the same conditions, the cost of poverty is much higher for the poor than for the rich. Poverty inherently involves costs. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
It’s not that humans can simply throw it away or empty it because they possess something; instead, they exchange what is outside of them with what is inside of them. If you discard it, you will receive it. The people just don’t understand this law. To obtain what’s beneficial for you, you need to care for your surroundings. This is why self-management is essential. Not discarding—meaning trying to gain without exchanging—is referred to as greed or avarice. The heavier object in the swamp sinks faster. Escape from a crisis comes not from giving up, but from the exchange. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
