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”

When stating that prices have risen, it signifies that something else has decreased in price. If house prices are up by 10%, then something else indicates that the price is down by 10%. What is this “something else”? It is the value of money –a number derived from converting the value of an inflationary object into a currency. As the prices of goods increase, the value of money decreases correspondingly. If the object is compared in value to something other than currency, then something else that has increased in value compared to the object has depreciated in value. Most values are expressed in currency, so if the price of an object relative to currency rises, the value of the currency is relatively low. Therefore, if you receive cash from sales, wealth is created and preserved only when you exchange it for something else that is appreciating in value compared to cash. If you keep the cash intact, you will undoubtedly become poorer. Wealth is always a relative concept, not an absolut...

Sometimes, a person’s strengths are the cause of the problem. The situation determines the direction and use of nature. Each person has the advantage of knowing their strengths well, but it does not take into account the direction and circumstances surrounding those strengths. Strengths and weaknesses are relative concepts. Over-relying on your strengths can lead to issues, and it is also vital to be cautious of developing feelings of inferiority due to your weaknesses. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In law, a “fact” is not referred to simply as a “fact,” but rather as a “ contextual  fact.” The legal system addresses the relationships between people, positing that all facts are generated and understood within these relationships. Even the question of existence—whether to be or not to be—is grasped through the lens of relationships. There is no fact without a relationship, and the fact itself is neither true nor false; instead, the relationship determines its truthfulness or falsity. In other words, if you view truth and falsehood as absolute, you will navigate the world with a rigid mindset. Conversely, if you accept them as relative and contextual, you will perceive them with a broader sense of liberty. Ultimately, which perspective leads to greater happiness is a matter of individual disposition and taste. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

All values are interconnected and relative. There is no such thing as an absolute value. For instance, is the value of the goose that lays golden eggs due to the goose itself, or because of the golden eggs it produces? Are the productive forces of life indeed more precious, or does gold hold greater value? If you find yourself on the brink of starvation without food, which is more valuable: the goose that lays the golden egg or the one that lays ordinary eggs? Value depends on context and circumstances, as it is inherently relative and changeable. In essence, all values fluctuate. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
