Recording and storing purposes include reloading, confirming, and recalling memories and data when needed later. There is nothing more foolish than when recording and storage become ends in themselves. The same applies to money. When frugality and saving become ends in themselves, the function of generating profit through investing money and creating surplus by spending turns into foolish storage that fails to achieve a positive function. Such a person will engage in activities that neither they nor others can benefit from. We should always examine whether the ends and means have been interchanged. - 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”
