I advised a CEO to read books regularly. But he said he didn’t even have time for reading because of his business. I didn’t tell him to read a lot; I only suggested that he do it on a regular basis. It’s not easy to start with a large amount, but it’s easy to give up or refuse to continue. Still, doing a small amount consistently is also difficult, but the goal is to build a habit. Reading is an extension of management activities that managers must do, not because they have time to spare, but because neglecting it can harm management by limiting their knowledge of the world and others’ experiences. Of course, reading doesn’t guarantee success or prevent failure. However, there’s no doubt that it’s the most fundamental activity that can help individuals grow and organizations thrive through the knowledge and experience gained from reading. A fool fills 100% of his life experience. A wise man fills it with 1% inspiration, 29% reading, and 70% implementation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Video creators often face bankruptcy due to “editing.” Profit is essential for revenue generation; profit is realized only when revenue surpasses costs. “Editing” constitutes a significant “cost” to boost sales. There’s a belief that quality editing enhances the likelihood of sales. While this is somewhat true, survival until a sales surge depends primarily on minimizing costs (editing). It’s not filming, but “editing” that often leads video productions to financial failure. Nonetheless, many production companies fail to adequately factor in editing costs into their overall production expenses. The reality is that a substantial amount of money is tied up in “editing.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
