Just my thoughts #0615

Life only changes when we have great ideas and take action. If we work hard without great ideas, our days will likely feel meaningless. Conversely, if we only think about great ideas without taking action, nothing will actually change. Great ideas aren’t just big thoughts; often, they are small and trivial ones that are easier to implement. No matter how many doors there are, if we don’t open them, they’re just walls. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0132

Google founder Sergey Brin, one day asked a great question. “What will happen if we give this service for free?” The result was, as we know well, “MONOPOLY”. Google gives employees 100,000 meals a day for free. This is because Google found that providing free meals is more profitable for the company. Initially, a payment system was introduced in the cafeteria. Soon, however, Google changed its mind when it saw the people waiting in line. Google learned the “opportunity cost”. Google's technology is excellent, but they realize it is not about making money. Fate changed when they discovered that the Business Model for that technology made money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
