A baseball batter cannot hit a home run every at-bat. You might make a lot of money once with luck, but that’s a fleeting way to earn. If you generate a lot of money without even preparing a bowl, you might end up unhappy. The reason for emphasizing the ‘compound effect’ in investing is because it’s one of the few sustainable methods mankind has experienced. However, compared to our greed, ‘compound interest’ seems like a small rate of return right now, so many people break the rules they need to follow and take risky investments, putting themselves in danger. We can’t hit a home run every day. Valuing small profits and working to protect them will bring us good fortune. Greed leads to destruction. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Traffic direction is influenced by history and traditions. What would occur if a country suddenly changed its travel direction? The costs of replacing road signs would be just the start; the nation would also need to revise traffic laws and control systems, leading to a higher frequency of accidents. Such a major change hasn’t occurred in any country since its inception. Globally, 165 countries have adopted right-hand drive (RHD), while 75 have implemented left-hand drive (LHD). Currently, 66% of the world’s population drives on the right, and 72% of all roads are right-sided. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
