Just my thoughts #0712

If you’re not a full-time investor and are considering an investment method, start by defining your identity. That means deciding what your main job is and what your side job is because it greatly affects your time management in investing and influences your results. If you can’t monitor stock trading daily or hourly, then you’re not a full-time investor and should treat investing as a side job. How I allocate my time for investing plays a crucial role in choosing and deciding how to invest. There are many different ways to invest around the world. Impatience is the main mistake that can ruin both my life and my investments. My view of time is that it’s my life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0061

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”
