Some people hear that their business success rate is only 10%, so they try to avoid being part of the 90% who fail and put a lot of effort into becoming part of the 10% who succeed. In contrast, others allocate just 10% of their total effort to each of their 10 businesses, hoping that one will succeed. Since only one in ten founders succeeds, the latter approach is better because success in this world is a matter of probability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If I’m poor now, it means I’m more likely to become poorer in the future. Statistically , that’s the case. If you don’t have the money to go to the hospital now and you don’t seek treatment, you could suffer from cancer in the near future. Paying now reduces the risk of greater expenses later. Consequently, the rich can purchase the same goods or services at lower prices than the poor. The same principle applies to knowledge and health. Interest is a cost. If you don’t acquire knowledge, interest will accumulate, and if you neglect your health now, interest will also increase. We often forget that an expense is revenue for someone else. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Trust acts as glue, binding individuals’ needs, while money operates like a magnet; when distance is introduced, it attracts unwanted elements. Essentially, trust enhances efficiency, whereas money, in the absence of trust, leads to avoidable expenses. When money substitutes for what trust should fulfill, inefficiency and waste significantly increase. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Now, let’s think about it this way. You have a pig. Your pocket will incur expenses to save the pig. If the pig gives birth to a baby, there are 12 more pigs. The cost of the stock feed increases further, but the total number of pigs increases by 13, and your assets rise. Assets are a means and measure of wealth, although they also increase costs. To achieve wealth, you need to acquire a lot of assets at a low cost. We call the increase in the number of pigs “production” in economic terms. That is, there must be production to obtain assets. Produce anything, whether you create services, compose music, or make a product. Without production, there cannot be wealth. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
