Just my thoughts #0804

Implement: The act of turning thoughts, plans, or wills into reality. There is a significant difference between ‘knowing’ and ‘being able to do.’ Knowing a lot doesn’t mean you’re skilled at it, and just because you’re skilled doesn’t mean you know a lot. It’s limited to ‘knowing,’ and that reality doesn’t change unless you act. It’s crucial to practice “what I can do” first. Even if you have extensive knowledge of stock investing, it’s useless unless you actually invest. Even if you’re poor, you should invest a small amount of money; your knowledge is then put to the test. It’s foolish to study only until you have money and then invest in tangible assets after accumulating substantial wealth. It’s wiser to start with a small investment and gradually increase it as your knowledge is proven. Beginning with what you can do NOW is the ONLY way to truly demonstrate your knowledge. - 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”
