Did you know that modern space rockets are influenced by Roman heritage? In other words, the size of current rockets still reflects standards set during the Roman era. Rocket components were transported by rail to launch sites and had to pass through an intermediate tunnel. It was more practical to limit the size of the rocket rather than build a new tunnel. The track width was determined by the steam locomotive, which was adapted to match the width of British wagons pulled by two horses. The width of the track is based on the hips of the two horses, which in turn are derived from the size of a Roman chariot. This phenomenon is called Path Dependency. Humans tend to stick with the past. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The founder of the guitar company Fender, Leo Fender, said he has never played the guitar. Depending on the nature and characteristics of the business, we must think differently about our confidence in it. For example, it is our prejudice to believe that a famous chef won’t be ruined if he opens a restaurant. The more important priority in business is the ability to grasp the essence than having a career. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
