Optimization: Adjusting something to reach its best state for a specific purpose. We often think that the fastest and strongest options are the best. The fastest way down a slope isn’t a straight line, but a parabola that naturally connects high and low points. A sniper can cause more lethal wounds at 400 meters than at 200 meters. Although the bullet travels faster at 200 meters, the wound size isn’t as large, and at 400 meters, the slower-moving bullet over a longer distance causes more friction as it passes through the wound, resulting in more severe injuries. In every situation, there is an optimal choice suited to the goal. Trial and error are useful for finding this optimization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Employees at securities firms have access to stock information that is more abundant and faster than what the general public receives. However, only a few among them are truly wealthy. Many believe that having a good environment, a prime location, and access to exclusive, valuable information will lead to wealth, but the reality is different. In truth, a person’s perspective and practical ability to understand the world hold greater power. A life dedicated to understanding the essence of phenomena and things ultimately enriches one’s existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
