Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

People say those who keep their promises lose more benefits than those who don't. Half is right and half is wrong. If you break a promise, you'll gain benefits immediately but lose credit. Assets eat credit and grow. And credit itself is an essential component of assets. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you've kept your word in every situation, borrowing from your neighbors may be more possible when you borrow money from others. That is, your financial trouble doesn't mean that you don't have any money, but it means that you don't have any credit from anyone. Currency has some value according to all people are constantly giving trust in exchangeable value, and money itself doesn't have any value at all. All values come from giving trust to something. Gaining credibility only, even pebbles on the street can be money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
