Most successful wealthy people consistently say that “wealth comes from the mind.” In a way, this notion seems like a luxury that only accomplished individuals can afford. However, it is true. The essence of money is merely a representation of the idea of credit. In other words, money is philosophical, and wealth is nothing more than the application of ideas. Wealth originates in the mind because it results from engaging with philosophies and ideas. Therefore, to achieve wealth, you must first learn to control your mind. Developing money-making skills follows next. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
