Investment techniques involve converting labor income into financial income. In other words, it means purchasing an asset with money earned through labor so that the asset generates profit. But since assets are inanimate, how can they produce income? The answer is that you can profit from an asset’s changing value. You cannot profit if the value remains constant. If there were no volatility in assets, people would have to rely solely on labor to earn money. The issue is that you don’t buy assets that increase in value; you buy assets that decrease in value. Therefore, if you lack the perspective to judge the world, you should abandon the dream of building wealth through assets. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A Korean AI company developed a language-learning AI for a 5-year-old, splitting it into two systems: one displaying only children’s videos and the other showcasing YouTube videos. After two months of learning, the company was eager to assess the results. They found that children using YouTube, with fewer restrictions, had better language-learning outcomes than those who watched only children’s videos. This raised a thought in me: parents’ efforts to protect their children from certain influences may stem from an unreasonable desire. Striving for perfection can feel woefully inadequate in this world. Isn’t the essence of education about equipping individuals with the knowledge of right and wrong and guiding them to maintain their humanity? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
