One of the misconceptions people have is that they believe they ‘buy (get)’ things with money. However, in reality, it is an exchange of money for goods. You might question whether these two concepts are similar, but there is a significant difference between them. In other words, it leads people to forget that money is also a ‘good’ whose value fluctuates based on the amount available in the market. This creates an overconfidence in money. In terms of value, money is only as valuable as its role and mission in exchange. If the role of food is to ‘eat,’ then the role and mission of money is that it is endowed with ‘the power to exchange anything.’ If money can’t be exchanged for food, can you eat money instead of food? The standard that allows goods to exchange roles and missions with each other is called ‘price.’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The northern hemisphere is in summer, while the southern hemisphere is in winter. Argentina’s Patagonia experiences temperatures as low as -16 °C for a week, even during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. This phenomenon makes it clear that the season is not merely a concept of time. You are correct in viewing the season in terms of place and environment. If you live in the same place simultaneously, both the place and the environment affect human beings. Nevertheless, we keep making excuses. Making excuses about time doesn’t cost anything, and it has a universality that is easy to sympathize with… - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The 'Bregenz Festival' opens every summer season in Bregenz, Austria. Although a population of 20,000 this is a small town, 250,000 visitors come here for a month, and the economic effect is perhaps 150 million euros. The site of this festival combines a stunning landscape surrounded by the 3rd largest lake in Europe 'Bodensee' and the Alps with cultural goods such as an opera and exhibitions. The best part is the floating opera stage set up on the lake. The annual opera stage stirs curiosity all over Austria. There are many reasons to go to Bregenz only to see the stage. The opera stage, which changes every year and is built on a beautiful lake, is the only one in the world. Whether it is tourism or business, there must be a reason, "Why come here, or why do business with you." - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
