What in this world isn’t influenced by politics? Politics shapes art and media alike. It involves governing the world and making decisions that determine the future. Art is a product of that influence. Works of art, media messages, and knowledge recorded in books reflect the spirit of the times and offer clues about what’s ahead. Investing is a risky venture in an uncertain future. Therefore, the ability to appreciate artworks and interpret media messages is a vital skill for professionals in investment. Someone who ignores the arts, the progress of knowledge, and the flow of media messages is unlikely to make wise investments. Loving art purely to gain wealth isn’t ideal, but having a passion for art can help you recognize opportunities for wealth more quickly and sensitively than others, making a life close to art a truly fortunate one. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One person gives freely yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (Proverbs 11:24) This is a record from the Old Testament. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement of wastefulness. Wealth is not determined by the amount of income and expenditure but rather by purpose, relationships, and the timing of the purpose-fit-management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
