Even if you gamble, you can’t do it alone. A partner must exist to exchange well-produced products and services, as added value is created only through such exchanges. Without a connection, realizing added value becomes difficult. Wealth is generated solely through transactions, which must precede consolidation. Networking has always been and remains crucial for creating wealth. Metcalfe’s Law states that when connected to a network, the effect is proportional to the square of the number of connections. This results in an exponential effect rather than an arithmetic series. While the number of connections is significant, the level of trust built, even with a few personal connections, is even more critical. To effectively utilize social media, strive to connect with as many networks as possible and build trust in those relationships once connected. Only then can you experience the exponential effect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Eco bags are not eco-friendly. In 2007, the eco-bags, which British designer Anya Hindmarch printed, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” on canvas, sold out 20,000 copies in 30 minutes at a limited edition price of 5 pounds. The project reduced the use of plastic bags by 58% over the next two years in Britain. However, a survey by the British Environment Agency found that consumers used paper bags at least 3 times more to have less environmental impact than plastic bags and used eco bags 131 times more to help protect the environment. In 2018, Denmark also announced a study that indicated people used plastic bags at least 37 times, paper bags 43 times, and eco bags 7,100 times before being discarded to recover from pollution. Yes, the facts that people believe have cheated us all. Materials and consumption are necessary, but people belatedly realized that environmental protection should also consider product use cycles and production. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
