Just my thoughts #0715

Maintaining even a small annual profit is advantageous in investing. Survival remains the most critical factor in business. People have sought the secret to Warren Buffett’s success, which is the power of compounding, but they overlook the real key: he has invested consistently for 75 years without pause. You can indeed succeed in your business endeavors through sheer survival; conversely, you cannot survive solely because of your success. Survival is only achievable if you have the strength to keep going, even with minimal returns. To do this, you must do what you love. Invest in stocks you like, and continue investing even if it is volatile. Next, you need to secure a “margin of safety.” Even a small margin ratio is crucial because a business can’t survive without margins. Frugal spending, flexible thinking, loose schedules—anything that helps during tough times—can all contribute to building a margin of safety. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

History professor Yuval Noah Harari said, "The most distinguishing feature between humans and other animals is the ability to believe not exist imagination." If you eat a banana exchanged with a bill from the chimpanzee, then the chimpanzee must be angry with you. The bill is just a thing to believe non-existent imagination each other in the human world, it's never important and meaningful for the chimpanzee. Unless the belief is to exchange the value, the money is just paper. This belief makes our social community. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
