Wealth can only be accumulated when ownership is secured by humans. Debt is a relative concept that stems from ownership and establishes the idea that others’ property must be returned to the original owner. Debts are useful when managed properly, but they also come with the burden of repayment. The obligation to return others’ property is rooted in human morality, which is ultimately linked to the foundation of economic activity. Living with good people is a crucial factor in achieving wealth. Therefore, people come before money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Japan Airlines that no one thought would ever recover. It was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in Japan. When Kyocera Group Chairman Emeritus Kazuo Inamori took the helm to save Japan Airlines, his priority was to reform the mindset of the employees. Whenever he could, he gathered all employees for lectures on mental reform, and executives were required to attend a separate lecture on mental reform given by Kazuo Inamori every Thursday without exception. The employees' frustration was palpable, but the company returned to the stock market after two years and eight months. There is no magic in running a company. Attitude and mindset are everything. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
