The dew is small, but because of its transparent, convex lens-like shape, it captures everything around it in that tiny water droplet. The fact that such a small size can contain so much information is truly astonishing. Sometimes size matters, but material and shape are often more important. If your bowl is small, don’t be discouraged; it’s better to focus on the material and shape. Greatness makes no excuses. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
We don’t care about money deposited in the bank. If we ask the bank for money, I believe they will certainly return my funds. However, as shown by Lehman Brothers ’ bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis , banks cannot guarantee 100% of depositors’ money. In South Korea, according to the Depositor Protection Act , only 100 million won (about USD 71,000 ) is protected, including principal and interest per person. Anything beyond that is actually at risk. In other words, money deposited in the bank is vulnerable to losing the principal. Investing means willingly accepting the risk of losing the principal while seeking profit. Whether we like it or not, we are always investing in our daily lives. Just because a risk doesn’t materialize doesn’t mean it’s gone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
