Even if you gamble, you can’t do it alone. A partner must exist to exchange well-produced products and services, as added value is created only through such exchanges. Without a connection, realizing added value becomes difficult. Wealth is generated solely through transactions, which must precede consolidation. Networking has always been and remains crucial for creating wealth. Metcalfe’s Law states that when connected to a network, the effect is proportional to the square of the number of connections. This results in an exponential effect rather than an arithmetic series. While the number of connections is significant, the level of trust built, even with a few personal connections, is even more critical. To effectively utilize social media, strive to connect with as many networks as possible and build trust in those relationships once connected. Only then can you experience the exponential effect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Speaking negatively to others stems from my discomfort. Positive language fosters respect and happiness in relationships. This isn’t merely due to the “power of positivity”; it’s how our brains have evolved to interpret it. When asked, “Why don’t you study?” the negative framing prompts the brain to release cortisol, which ramps up stress. Consequently, the brain associates “studying” with unpleasantness. Conversely, if you say, “I appreciate your studying even while you play,” the message shifts. Parents shape children; husbands influence wives, and wives impact husbands. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
