An asset is the foundation of all economic activity. If you have assets, you can run a business and settle your debts. The ways to create assets are ‘how one works,’ ‘how to receive gifts from others,’ and ‘how to purchase assets made by others.’ There is a way to steal, but it is a crime. If you don’t initially own an asset, the simplest and almost the only way to create one is to produce something with your own labor. Whether the product is a service or a good, it must be produced unconditionally. Trading products creates added value. Thinking about trading later and making products first is the fastest and most basic way to escape poverty. Therefore, produce even the smallest things every day. Knowledge, records, art—whatever! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Love may appear as a sacrifice, but the sacrifice is not love. This is because we must determine whether there is a price behind the sacrifice. Doing good and right doesn't mean you don't get hurt. I get hurt because I'm alive. Therefore, to be afraid of being hurt or to avoid being hurt is the most cowardly act in life. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
