Just my thoughts #0585

Don’t let a salesperson collect sales money, as it can lead to corruption. While corruption involves the human mind, the structure is more important. If a salesperson is trying to increase their salary by improving their performance, they may resort to hiding unfavorable payment terms. However, a salesperson can hardly succeed if sales and money collection are separated. Do not leave fish to cats. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0036

The poorer persons are, the more likely they are to consider the system they are in, not their abilities or character. The poor are more likely to choose to live in ways that make them poorer. It's not because they're stupid, it's because the system they're in leads them to make those choices. Rutker Bregman, a Dutch historian and author, says that everyone is forced to make such decisions when they are placed in this environment. The way out of this system is to change your worldview. Poverty is a state of being, not an outcome. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
