Courage and brazenness, which ordinary humans often lack, are essential assets for beggars. Courage- especially the kind that others cannot easily afford- holds significant value. This value stems from the essence of courage itself rather than its rarity. We need brazenness when we owe others for a time, yet we must act for ourselves, even at the cost of feeling remorse. Thus, intangible assets like courage and brazenness can replace tangible assets such as cash. Let’s not despair over our lack of material possessions. This does not imply that we should be beggars; rather, it suggests that there are many models in the world to follow. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Most of the time, experts are individuals who make a living by simplifying complex concepts. In other words, an expert serves as a commentator or interpreter. Positions that readily clarify intricate topics often exist in fields filled with conflict or dissatisfaction, as well as those that engage in productive activities. Lawyers and politicians represent the former category, while media professionals belong to the latter. The degrees of difficulty in complexity frequently create a demand for certain jobs, which also presents a business opportunity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Good design balances "form follows function" and "function follows form. An example of a design where form follows function is an airplane. An example of a design where function follows form is a doorknob on one side of a sliding door that opens only in one direction. It doesn't matter which came first, the chicken or the egg. The more you understand the technology, the better the design will be. With their many features, smartphones have simplified their form with touchscreen functionality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
