One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
People with strong interpretive skills receive support from others. Interpretive ability involves i) classifying or grouping phenomena with similar attributes, ii) identifying patterns that share commonalities within the classified groups, and iii) connecting or comparing these patterns with other attribute patterns to gain insights. If the content can be presented in a clear and engaging manner, we will achieve interpretive supremacy among the public. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
