Poison: Writer Jong-bong Kim , a full-time investor, said in his book “ Money Scenario ,” “All profits you get without knowing it are poison.” If you make money without knowing whether it’s from a business or a stock investment , you operate and invest with that unaware mindset. Acting without explicit knowledge is extremely risky. The more money you earn unknowingly, the faster a significant loss will come. Continuously doing your business without understanding why customers buy your products or why your stocks generate profit can lead to a serious crisis. The greater the influence, the larger the impact. Whatever you do, you need to understand the core and operate properly. Don’t let luck alone control your abilities. The odds of winning the lottery don’t happen every day. Don’t waste time on gambling. The difference between gambling and business, and between investing and gambling, is just a single page of paper. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars, towering about three times higher than Mt. Everest. Its area, covering 295,000 ㎢, surpasses the size of the Korean Peninsula (220,850 ㎢) and is nearly equivalent to that of France or Arizona. While Olympus Mons has a greater height than any mountain on Earth, its vast area results in an average slope of only 5 degrees. As a result, hikers who ascend Olympus Mons often feel as if they are traversing a flat plain. For humans, the steepness of a climb matters more than its height. For example, ascending a steeper 5 m pole can be more challenging than gradually scaling a 500 m mountain. In life, choosing the right slope to climb is often more crucial than focusing solely on the height reached, whether going uphill or downhill. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
