1 + 1 = 2 is an unchangeable mathematical fact. However, in real life, there is a synergistic effect that can make the calculation result 3 or more. Therefore, even though we believe and accept certain axioms, there may be cases where they do not always hold true in extraordinary circumstances. One such case is the belief that reason exists as the opposite of emotion. Perhaps reason is not the opposite of emotion, but rather a part of it or a different form of emotion. How can we classify reason and emotion? The reason we recognize might actually be logic that originates from emotions. There is certainly a concept called ‘reason,’ but its true nature may be unknown to us. Ultimately, emotions will likely dominate our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
DuPont, a global chemical company, has one core value: Safety. The company is well known for adhering to its core values which stem from its historical background. DuPont began as a gunpowder manufacturer during the American Civil War. In 1884, DuPont's CEO, Lammot du Pont, was killed in an explosion. This accident stimulated the catalyst for DuPont's realization that safety should be a core value of the company. Here's a true story as an example. Two DuPont employees were on an overseas business trip and needed to take a taxi to a meeting, but the taxi only had seat belts on the passenger side. They would be late for the meeting, but DuPont policy dictated that only one person be put in the cab while the other took a different cab. Core values represent a company's identity and mission, and complying with them is a crucial challenge for any organization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
