Just my thoughts #0714

According to Morgan Housel, a financial author, whether an investor is safety-oriented or risk-oriented is mainly shaped by early adult experiences, not by intelligence or education. It depends on where and when a person is born. The region I live in, including my country and the era, greatly influences a person’s economic outlook and ability. If you feel ‘no way,’ you might need to change your location. Even when evaluating others, if you estimate ‘no way,’ you should consider having them leave the place. In the Bible, when someone changes their life, the first thing God does is move them from one place to another. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0169

Cotton needs 500 mm of water to produce cotton wool, and 1 kg of cotton wool requires 8,500 liters of water to fill 40 baths. A fashion company can make a pair of jeans from this. It needs at least 2,700 liters of water to create a T-shirt. This amount is enough for one person to use as drinking water for three years. Clothing consumption has recently increased by an average of 60% each year on Earth. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was the fourth-largest lake in the world, but it has now shrunk to one-tenth of its original size, as river water has been used to grow cotton due to increased consumption. Few people are concerned about how their consumption affects the global environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
