Just my thoughts #0526

If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If a New Zealand fisherman catches a seabream in New Zealand, he makes a profit of $9 per kilogram, but if a tourist catches it, $88 goes back to New Zealand. This is because to fish a seabream, the tourist has to spend money on flights, hotels, and all sorts of rentals. The opportunity cost and value-added will change as B2B becomes B2C. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
