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”
When choosing a job, FIRSTLY you must think “Who am I?” rather than “What should I do?”. Always establishing an identity first, and then finding a way. The more specific your identity is and the closer you are to the substance, the easier it is for you to know how to do it. So, identification is undoubtedly the most challenging aspect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
