Founders often start a business without understanding their profit model. People are more likely to fail because they only think, “I have to work!” and don’t truly grasp how and why they can make money from it. They don’t understand the concept of capital, meaning the basic funds, nor do they understand the founder’s equity. They have heard the terms often but don’t really know their meaning or importance. They don’t recognize it, although they may have heard of it a lot. You start a business and partner with others without knowing whether your return is the reward for taking risks, giving up current interests, or sacrificing competitors. Understanding this is a fundamental part of entrepreneurship. Yet, in reality, they run their business without considering these issues simply because they need to work and can do so at the moment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A Korean AI company developed a language-learning AI for a 5-year-old, splitting it into two systems: one displaying only children’s videos and the other showcasing YouTube videos. After two months of learning, the company was eager to assess the results. They found that children using YouTube, with fewer restrictions, had better language-learning outcomes than those who watched only children’s videos. This raised a thought in me: parents’ efforts to protect their children from certain influences may stem from an unreasonable desire. Striving for perfection can feel woefully inadequate in this world. Isn’t the essence of education about equipping individuals with the knowledge of right and wrong and guiding them to maintain their humanity? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
