Israeli Kindergarten. Dual-income couples often arrived late to pick up their children. As a result, the kindergarten implemented a rule that parents would face a fine if they were late; however, even though this introduced a penalty system, it also led to more delays in pickup times. By replacing feelings of guilt with money, paying a fee for being late became the new norm. After recognizing the mistake and removing the fine system, what happened? More parents started arriving late. When money becomes involved, the exchange of value fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship.

The value and nature of stocks depend on how much money a company can potentially make for me in the future. In other words, it’s not the present value, but the future value that matters. It’s crucial to be able to provide profits consistently over time. In accounting, this concept is referred to as “going concern.” When you evaluate what you’re doing right now (job, business, investment, etc.) in terms of sustaining revenue generation, many conflicts and considerations diminish because your judgment becomes clearer. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
