Just my thoughts #0702

Making money and avoiding losing it are two different things. There is no guarantee that you won’t lose the money you’ve gained just because you make money well. Wealth can’t be achieved unless it’s supported by the right attitude toward money, proper management principles, and the psychological mindset and self-control suitable for the situation. You can gain some wealth through your skills and abilities, but this is less about being wealthy and more about your psychology, attitude toward money, and worldview. Therefore, being smart doesn’t necessarily make you rich. Most importantly, you need to have a clear understanding of your own identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0049

The "normal human body temperature = 37°C" standard was established in 1851 by the German medical doctor "Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich", who took millions of temperature readings from about 25,000 people and reported "36.2°C to 37.5°C". However, surveys in the United States in 1992 and the United Kingdom in 2017 found 36.8°C and 36.6°C, respectively. So in the past people deemed that the discrepancy was due to errors in old measuring equipment or methods. But Julie Parsonnet and her colleagues at Stanford University's School of Infectious Disease Epidemiology found a common thread in the temperature databases: People are cooler now than they were then. It wasn't just a measurement error. They speculated that medical advances had reduced inflammation and lowered the average temperature. We don't question the obvious. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
