Money is the most widely used medium of exchange worldwide, serving as a way to buy essential goods needed for life or to store wealth. Since the country guarantees the stability of fiat currency, it becomes possible to exchange ‘things for money’ instead of ‘things for goods,’ unless the country goes bankrupt. However, this amount of money cannot be increased indefinitely. When there is too much money in circulation, its value drops below the price of goods, causing those who hold wealth in money to lose that wealth. The key point is that money is limited in the market. Due to this limitation, money gains value. The government regulates this money supply through the ‘interest rate.’ Raising the interest rate reduces the money supply, while lowering it increases the supply. This helps control prices. Therefore, understanding the interest rate is crucial for managing and valuing wealth, making it essential to know the interest rate above all else in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The irony of sacrifice. Those primarily responsible for the problematic and troubling tasks within the organization can be viewed as possessing a strong spirit of sacrifice. All members of the organization will appreciate those who devote themselves, and others will express gratitude for the contributing members who carry the burden of hard work for them. Their relationships within the organization can also be assumed to be harmonious. However, if the organization fails to compensate these members for their sacrifice adequately, the members who benefited from it will remain, but the dedicated members may feel hurt and potentially decide to leave. Consequently, the organization could become a dysfunctional environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
