Money is essentially the same, yet it creates different qualities in how it is used and transacted. In other words, the quality associated with money varies. Not all debts are created equal; there are good debts and bad debts. The quality of these debts can also be classified as good or bad, impacting sales and profits. This is similar to how paying the same amount for fruits can yield different results: one box might contain delicious fruit while another may hold tasteless ones. Thus, even when spending the same amount of money, the pleasure and satisfaction derived from the taste can vary significantly. When these differences accumulate, the utility value of money significantly affects wealth distribution, making the gap between wealth and poverty even more pronounced. Earning well, spending wisely, and borrowing judiciously greatly influence our happiness in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In his book Rhetoric, Aristotle identifies three conditions for the persuasion of people: ethos, pathos, and logos. Simply put, ethos is the inherent character of the persuader. Pathos is the emotional state of the persuadee, and logos is the logic of the persuader. The order of importance is ethos, pathos, and logos. If you want to be an influencer, define your identity, nurture yourself, and listen to your reputation, which is 60% and the psychological state of the listener is 30%. Therefore, who and what you are is the most important thing, and the timing synchronized with the psychological state of the persuadee is the second. However, the inferior people are more obsessed with logic and are more convinced. They define people and judge the world based on whether someone is right or wrong. Then they will continue to live a life of 10% inferiors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
