Just my thoughts #0650

Invisibly, we engage in a fierce struggle with ‘time.’ Both economic activities and wealth accumulation are battles against time. Time is fair and irreversible. Therefore, it makes sense to evaluate and judge the value of an asset based on time. Additionally, we analyze past records to assess and forecast the future, while also avoiding current deprivation by bringing the concept of ‘future’ into the present to compensate for insufficient assets. All of this is the magic of time. The past influences the present, and the future shapes the present. The present of the past is molded by the current moment, and the future will also attempt to predict what lies ahead by examining the present. We live by differentials and sometimes integrals. I believe this phenomenon occurs because the concept of infinity exists. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you eat food solely for nutrition , there’s no need to cook it elaborately; just choose a nutritional supplement . However, food intake not only provides nutrients to our bodies but also offers the pleasure of experiencing various tastes, especially flavors known as aromas through the sense of taste. Incense reflects civilization and culture. Therefore, the food business must be cultural, and for fragrance-related businesses such as coffee , wine , and perfume , both a cultural approach and an understanding of fragrance are crucial for success. Occasionally, there are businessmen who try to sell food by emphasizing nutrition while neglecting the pleasure derived from this rich civilization and culture. I recommend that these businessmen sell nutritional supplements only. It is unfortunate to engage in business without a grasp of civilization and culture. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When a prominent cultural innovator escapes monotony and creates an alleyway that embodies a fresh cultural identity, a new attraction emerges, making latecomers envious of this hideout. As the number of visitors grows through word of mouth, real estate prices in the area rise, and landlords are quick to seize this opportunity. Ironically, while the initial pioneers revive the area, gentrification follows due to increased rents that force them out. Landlords hike the prices, often unaware of what prompted the rise, leading to another phase of desolation for the neighborhood. The area gains popularity as visitors share photos on Instagram, highlighting that the surge in property values is fueled by social media rather than by the building’s owner. Ultimately, symbols overshadow actual substance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“Culture” is a lifestyle that does not naturally accept or object to “reason.” The key is that you don’t pick “reason. ”  However, if someone asks “why?” to the passing-over phenomenon without any doubt, many things are revealed. Cultural products, organizational culture, art, community, and social matters kneel before this question. Ask yourself, “Why?”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
