Investing means investing time, not people or assets. The object you invest in doesn’t generate money; time does. Failing to understand the role and principles of time in business and investment is a waste of energy. Because time is invisible, we often overlook it or fail to recognize its impact and role. This world is driven by probability. When dealing with probability, the first thing to consider is the invisible nature of time. Ignoring this fact leads to waste and inefficiency without us even realizing the damage. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Tom Sawyer was punished by Aunt Polly. As part of his punishment, Tom is painting the fence of his house when his local friends come by to ask if it’s fun. When Tom tells them that it is, they ask for a chance to try it. Tom refuses, saying it’s not free, but his friends offer him toys and food, begging for permission. Tom ends up profiting while fulfilling Aunt Polly’s punishment without doing the work himself. There is a dynamic relationship in everything, and management provides a little strength wherever things can go well. If you work hard without question, you need to bring toys and food to others, but if you work wisely, you’ll achieve your goals with the help of others, gaining both toys and food along with praise. All Tom did was hold a paintbrush in front of the fence and smile. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
