Marathon runners rarely smile before, during, or after the race and usually have a very serious expression. If there were aliens, everyone who participated in the marathon might be considered a criminal because they don’t look happy. Humans think they only enjoy happy and joyful work and avoid hard, painful work, but in reality, human motivation is more complex. Even if something is hard and painful, it’s not as simple as just participating in marathons. Humans do not act solely based on joy and happiness. If humans can find meaning in life and experience progress even when it’s difficult, they are willing to do it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Even though a country's total population is decreasing, the economic situation could be improved by increasing the total economic activity of the remaining population after the decrease. Of course, there is a statistical population threshold below which this effect occurs. Nevertheless, this effect would not work in the case of a force majeure, such as a natural disaster or the outbreak of war, however, this assumption would be valid because a rapid population decline is a highly exceptional event that would not normally occur. Therefore, an increase in the economic activity of this population should be required during an economic recession. Applying this perspective, for building a solid relationship with your followers on Instagram, the number of followers is less important than the activity between them and you. This is called the "Engagement Rate (ER)". - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
