Just my thoughts #0754

Traditional education taught that human economic development progressed from hunting to stock farming and then to agriculture. However, the only real difference is that stock farming is an economic method of obtaining food by domesticating livestock, while agriculture involves domesticating plants. Therefore, this three-stage development theory is no longer accepted. Instead, the development of human civilization can be seen in the evolution of transportation. To understand the nature of how the world changes, we should observe the development of transportation. The increasing speed of movement is the main evidence that society is changing rapidly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A baseball batter cannot hit a home run every at-bat. You might make a lot of money once with luck, but that’s a fleeting way to earn. If you generate a lot of money without even preparing a bowl, you might end up unhappy. The reason for emphasizing the ‘ compound effect ’ in investing is because it’s one of the few sustainable methods mankind has experienced. However, compared to our greed, ‘ compound interest ’ seems like a small rate of return right now, so many people break the rules they need to follow and take risky investments , putting themselves in danger. We can’t hit a home run every day. Valuing small profits and working to protect them will bring us good fortune. Greed leads to destruction. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
