Just my thoughts #0619

Rejection Cost. From the perspective that my profit is someone else’s loss, and someone else’s profit is my loss, the fact that I have to reject an opportunity to make money for my circumstances is a loss for me and an act of giving someone else a profit. In other words, my added value is not determined solely by productivity but also by the marginal utility generated by the law of supply and demand. Therefore, my labor price should reflect the value that I have given up—the profit I could have gained. If the rejection cost is not included in my profit, I will be at a loss to that extent. Failing to account for rejection costs in production expenses is not wise, but foolish, because it risks my survival. There is no absolute value in this world. All economic values are relative. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Success is not determined by how much or how little you try. Anyone can be successful, but not everyone can achieve success. Rather, success is like a test paper that proves what a successful person is. Success is the opportunity to see what a person is really like. It’s humbling to know that there are other factors to success besides hard work, but if you believe that effort is everything, your success will soon become a sharp knife that wounds others. No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat fortune. This is the lesson of history. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Don’t try to learn from failure... I’ve failed a lot, but I’ve never learned from it. It is a lie to say that you can learn from it even if you fail without fear of failure. It was when I struggled not to fail that I could learn. Failure is only something to accept; you will fail again if you try to learn something from it. Failure is not a tool for learning lessons. It’s not worth it. Human beings learn from unremitting efforts not to fail. Don’t be fooled by petty consolation... Life is short. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
