Just my thoughts #0770

In our society, there are accepted ways to communicate messages. Messages that don’t follow this format are often rejected or ignored by the public. If CEOs or politicians don’t understand this communication format and fail to deliver their messages effectively, people won’t understand them, which can harm the relationship. Meetings like those of accounting, the board of directors, and general shareholders meetings are examples of these communication formats. We need to learn the correct format first so we can express ourselves clearly. You could attend a swimming competition in a suit, but since it would seem funny, a leader must understand this formality well to be effective. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0176

The plum contains a poison called “amygdalin.” This poison is found not only in plums but also in other drupes. The poison “amygdalin” is a combination of two glucose molecules. When these glucose molecules are divided, they turn into “prunasin,” which is more prevalent in other plants. When an insect attacks a plant, it breaks the bond with glucose, turning it into “mandelonitrile” and quickly converting it into “benzaldehyde” and “hydrocyanic acid (HCN)” once more. HCN is a respiratory poison, and benzaldehyde is a unique fragrance component of cherries, bitter almonds, and pistachios. This dangerous ingredient is also present in green tea, but it appears only in small amounts, so it does not cause any problems when consumed. It is an ironic phenomenon in which by-products essential for survival kill other living beings. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
