It also means that if I have been fortunate in the way I have lived up to now, misfortune may come one day. Management involves looking at both sides of this coin. When business conditions are good, we need to prepare for tough times, and when business conditions are bad, we need to prepare for better times. If you have experienced misfortunes so far, you should hope that the opposite can also occur. Nothing lasts forever. The universe also changes from time to time, and we must abandon the notion that the society we live in will remain the same. Management is the act of converting uncertainty into certainty. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Every business has competitors, and succeeding in business means achieving victory over the competition. Winning the competition implies creating a monopoly. One of the most traditional methods of monopolizing the market is offering rebates to buyers, often referred to as a ‘bribe,’ which is illegal. The reason monopolies are so harmful is that they infringe on customers’ choices and benefits, as opposed to merely allowing one company to dominate the market. Facebook acquired Instagram and the messaging app WhatsApp to eliminate its competitors. Although Facebook is primarily a social media platform, why would it consider WhatsApp a competitor? Because WhatsApp provides group chat services to clients, and if it expands, it could easily transition into a social media platform. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There is a saying that bears perform tricks and their owners have money. Ownership, and thus rights, are powerful when they become a platform. The odds of making vast sums of money from video creators are small. However, most of them need video editing, regardless of their profits. In fact, rather than making money for video creators, video editing software companies make money. There are far more ads in job openings asking for editors than for video creators. The more online shopping malls there are, the more money delivery companies make. Since business is a competition within finite conditions, the primary virtue of business is to be in the best position above all else. It must be hard to get into the wrong line and compensate for it with something else. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
