Just my thoughts #0225

Antibiotics are agents that eliminate bacteria. Since bacteria are living organisms, they can develop resistance when individuals misuse antibiotics, resulting in so-called “resistance.” Consequently, antibiotics are not always effective against bacteria. The widespread use of antibiotics can diminish the chances of treating future patients by fostering bacterial resistance. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies that produce antibiotics establish ethical guidelines for fair market competition. It is advisable to administer one antibiotic to target a specific bacterium. However, developing a new antibiotic and achieving profitability typically takes about 20 years, presenting a daunting challenge. Additionally, some individuals aggressively market health supplements, often disregarding ethical considerations. Those involved in health and wellness must exercise great care. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There are two types of businesses in this world when approached through the value of time and divided by the kinds of business: a business that requires discounting future value and a business that needs a surcharge. The bundle discount is a “future value discount business,” while the loan business is a “future value premium business.” Currently, it is unnecessary, but a bundle of sales is a business that offers customers incentives called “discounts” when they buy what they want in advance. The principal is not returned now in the loan business but must be returned in the future, providing the present incentive as a “delay repayment” in advance. Future discounts and surcharges can exist simultaneously in a business or a product; some enterprises will be ruined by mixing them if they change positions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

"Discount" is the sacrifice of the value-added you have created. Failure to produce Value Added will result in no profit, and there is a greater chance that the net worth will decrease as much as the profit that has been reduced. The problem is the customer. "Discounting from the start" and "selling at a discount" are strictly different for customers. Neither can do it right if the sellers don't know the "cost". Surprisingly, many businessmen do business without knowing the value they add and the cost. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
