Victoria’s Secret once created underwear worth 1.9 million USD, adorned with diamonds and jewels. Of course, wearing such underwear in real life is impractical and may not sell, but once Victoria’s Secret produces it, media outlets worldwide will promote this underwear. When considering the promotional impact, 1.9 million USD is not wasted as a publicity expense; the cash may be gone, but the jewelry-adorned underwear remains an asset, and brand promotion occurs globally, making it a genuinely profitable venture. Moreover, the existence of 1.9 million USD in underwear means that even if Victoria’s Secret products carry a higher price than competing brands, consumers may feel less price resistance. Spending money wisely is just as crucial as earning money. To understand the relationship between costs and assets, one must learn accounting. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We often play ladder games when betting. If you want to win, you can choose the option as far as possible from the marked “tagger”. If the “tagger” is displayed on the middle option, the most likely chance of not getting caught is when selecting the option at both ends. If you have a tag on one end, you can avoid the tag by choosing the other side end option. This is because the probability of winning a ladder game follows the “normal distribution” model. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
