Space and Gravity: We understand intangible values like price or worth using spatial and physical metaphors: high or low, rising or falling. Although intangible value has no physical properties, we mentally map it onto ideas of space and gravity. For instance, we imagine a lowest point for value, equating a price drop with a sharp fall and a rise with a slow climb, as if gravity is at work. This illustrates that our thinking applies the rules of space and gravity to even the most abstract concepts. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Kenichi Omae (大前硏一) is a Japanese economist. He confidently asserted that there are only three ways to change our lives: 1. Spending time differently 2. Changing where we live 3. Making new people. Making new decisions is the most meaningless. Doing all three simultaneously is “marriage and divorce” and “changing occupation.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
