Maintaining even a small annual profit is advantageous in investing. Survival remains the most critical factor in business. People have sought the secret to Warren Buffett’s success, which is the power of compounding, but they overlook the real key: he has invested consistently for 75 years without pause. You can indeed succeed in your business endeavors through sheer survival; conversely, you cannot survive solely because of your success. Survival is only achievable if you have the strength to keep going, even with minimal returns. To do this, you must do what you love. Invest in stocks you like, and continue investing even if it is volatile. Next, you need to secure a “margin of safety.” Even a small margin ratio is crucial because a business can’t survive without margins. Frugal spending, flexible thinking, loose schedules—anything that helps during tough times—can all contribute to building a margin of safety. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
If social media doesn't have a “Like” or “Comment” feature, there is just a post and claim… The consent of others is “intermittent variable compensation.” Without compensation, we can't sustain to do anything. It is a problem even if there is always compensation. This is because compensation is taken for granted. If so, the rewards you take for granted will not function. It is “gambling” that this “intermittent variable compensation” works well. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
