Value of Quantity: A phenomenon where the quality of a system changes once the amount of a single element surpasses a certain threshold. For example, if a restaurant that can normally serve up to 50 guests per day consistently has 100 customers daily, the capacity limit expands, and the quality of service improves. Of course, if they respond poorly, the service quality can decrease, but the outcome depends on the restaurant’s internal capabilities. Success or failure hinges on how we manage the excess amount beyond our capacity. Stock prices also depend on trading volume. Stocks tend to change their behavior only when a specific trading volume is reached. The good news is that stock prices can spike abruptly, but if the volume isn’t high enough, they can quickly fall.

Famous for his book "The Gun, the Germs and Steel," the great scholar "Jared Diamond" speaks 13 foreign languages. Once he made the wrong decision to change his job. He wanted to leave the field of science behind and become a "simultaneous interpreter." In the United States, however, speaking 13 languages seemed competitive, but being able to speak many languages in other parts of the world could not be competitive. Before doing a preferred occupation or doing something better than others, you should calmly be able to figure out your field of action first. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
