Just my thoughts #0751

The number of gas stations along the road decreases as vehicle mileage increases. If you do not understand your business ecosystem and only manage it diligently, the consequences will stay with you. A gas station is a subordinate part of a car. Therefore, changes in car performance have a ripple effect on many related industries. I must constantly monitor and study the ecosystem in which I operate my business and decide how to respond when changes happen. The shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles also impacts gas stations. The world is changing rapidly right now. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The human tongue identifies five distinct tastes. With the exception of sourness, the other tastes alert us to vital nutrients necessary for human survival. So, what is the importance of acidity? The sensation of sourness arises from the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) present in water. As the concentration of hydrogen ions rises, the pH level lowers, leading to increased acidity and a stronger sour flavor. Sourness is both the most appreciated and least favored taste among humans. We utilize the scent of decay along with the sour flavor to differentiate between edible and inedible food. When ripening occurs appropriately, it is termed “fermentation,” while excessive ripening is referred to as “rotting.” Fermentation indicates that food is safe to eat, whereas rotting signifies that it should be discarded. In essence, acidity is fundamentally tied to human survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
