For humans, humility begins with the understanding that we cannot know the future. If you encounter misfortune now yet believe that good fortune will arrive in a few days, you will not be disheartened during difficult times. Conversely, if you are fortunate now but are aware that misfortune will strike soon, you will not become arrogant. Thus, humility involves preparing for an uncertain future. Being humble doesn’t mean you avoid misfortunes altogether; nevertheless, your possibilities of navigating them successfully statistically improve. Knowing the future is not necessarily an advantage in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Metcalfe’s Law states that the value of a communication network is proportional to the square of the number of users connected to it, represented by the formula N(N-1)/2, where N is the number of terminals (users). In other words, if there is only one cell phone in the world, it holds no value. The same applies to computers and software. Consequently, mobile communication service providers strive to distribute mobile phones to consumers, even going so far as to subsidize them. The value of language follows the same principle. However, the impact can vary significantly depending on who is connected to this network. If you are in the business of building networks, you must implement a strategy to quickly attract the most influential users to your network. Therefore, an entrepreneur must clearly and concisely define who their customers are and why they should engage with their network. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
