Just my thoughts #0806

Opportunity Cost: Making a choice means sacrificing something else at the same time because we can’t have everything. If the value of what is given up is significant, then the choice incurs a relative loss, and it is up to the CEO to recognize this as a cost. In reality, whether I am aware of the opportunity cost or not, it still impacts my current financial situation. However, to calculate profit or loss as an opportunity cost, there must be a future opportunity to forgo the current choice and select an alternative. No one should keep repeating the cycle of giving up and choosing without knowing whether the next decision will be beneficial or not. Giving up is worthwhile only when the next option is good. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0027

In the USA, even in one country, the time difference between the west and the east is 3 hours. People thought that time was a natural thing. But it is not. It's very political. The time that man lives in a unit of minutes is too short. However, since the invention of the steam locomotive, the appearance of faster vehicles made crazy changes to the concept of time. The shift in distance made people realize what time was. Sandford Fleming, an engineer and inventor, asked to unify the time difference caused by long-distance transportation, but people rejected his request. If the boarding time were not fixed, the railroad would be useless. The history of the 24-hour clock was made only about 140 years ago. Even with the invention of high technology, if nothing is consensus, nothing benefits. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
