We describe the size and qualities of a human being’s capacity as a ‘bowl.’ People often say that luck or opportunity that exceeds the size of one’s bowl is rather harmful. That’s why people advise you to either seize the luck and opportunity that fit your bowl or make your bowl bigger. So, how do you determine the size of the bowl? Congenital conditions may also influence it, but acquired experiences and self-reflection are factors that shape the size of the bowl. Since I can’t force myself to create luck and opportunity, all I can do is develop my judgment and have the courage to accept or reject. The key to judgment is to avoid underestimating or overestimating yourself. Ultimately, it is most important to understand your own identity properly to make a true bowl. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A shareholder is the owner of a company. A shareholder is someone who invests capital in a company. There are three ways for shareholders to take money from the invested company: 1) become an executive or employee and receive wages, 2) receive dividends after settlement, or 3) receive remaining assets (liquidation property) excluding debts when the company is liquidated. A third party investing in the company is directly irrelevant to the existing shareholders in cash flow. Despite the shareholder owning the company, there is no way to share the surplus capital caused by the investments among the existing shareholders other than 1) and 2) except for company liquidation No. 3. Let me be clear: receiving an investment does not guarantee benefits for the company. It simply covers future costs and expenses in advance. Capital inducement means increasing the heavy duty of leaving profits, not being given profits unconditionally. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
