Walt Disney gained worldwide fame with the animated film ‘Steamboat Willie,’ but Disney’s first studio went bankrupt. By the mid-1930s, he had produced over 400 animations, most of which suffered heavy losses. In 1938, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs made $8 million in just the first half—more than ten times the earnings of other films. Meanwhile, with this animation, the company paid overdue wages to its employees and recovered the losses it had sustained. An unusual event that changes everything is called a “tail event.” 40% of publicly listed companies in the U.S. stock market lose nearly all their market capitalization 10 years after going public. Business and investing, after all, are based on probabilities. No one knows what the “tail event” will be. Therefore, to succeed, you need to try small, steady, many times with little impact, even if you fail. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The dichotomy of history in which mankind has separated emotions and reason is long. People have thought that emotions are inferior and that reason is superior. In priority relations, emotions seem to have less stake than the reason in our minds. But let's see a psychopath. The rationale for justifying their bizarre behavior is mostly reason and logic. Emotions, especially empathy, are hard to find for them. If the work is done with reason and logic only, the chances of success may be high, but there remains a high possibility of aftereffects. The world moves in a way that values emotions more. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
