Connectivity and Opportunity: Opportunities come when you uncover connections that others haven’t seen. Humans create events, which then feed back into the world and cause change. By interpreting and discovering interconnected elements more quickly or differently than others, we open doors to progress. For example, people realized that a multiplex cinema’s competitor was a theme park, not just another cinema—showing how movie theaters and outdoor theme parks were connected. Another case is Lego: while sales were declining, they initially blamed computer games. However, they later discovered the real issue was a shift in children’s play culture. These examples illustrate how recognizing invisible connections boosts your chances of staying competitive. - 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”
