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”
Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
