Partnership: We can’t operate alone. Transactions involve counterparties. Ultimately, business is about establishing and managing relationships with others. Without mutual benefit, trade falters and conducting business becomes difficult. When starting a business, keep a partnership in mind. The key to a partnership is “how to share,” not “how much to earn.” If the distribution isn’t rational, distortions will occur within the organization, which can harm the bottom line. Failing to distribute fairly or according to the situation increases the risk of business failure. Breaking up with a partner might seem better sometimes, but the core conflict remains; only it shifts from internal to external. To succeed in business, focus on distributing profits effectively rather than solely increasing them. Learning to distribute well is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The flesh of salmon is naturally white. Its characteristic orange hue results from the salmon’s diet, which is rich in shrimp, imparting the shrimp’s color to its flesh. This orange pigment, known as ‘carotenoids,’ is also found in carrots. Fish with red flesh possess high levels of hemoglobin in their blood and myoglobin in their muscles, enabling them to utilize oxygen efficiently, particularly those that require strong muscle activity. Although salmon are typically less active, they become more engaged during the spawning season when they travel back to their rivers. It’s fascinating to think that salmon and carrots are linked through this pigment despite having no apparent connection. The world has unimaginable connections. Who can predict what tomorrow will bring? Thus, let’s strive to be good people. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
