The concept of “going concern” in accounting emphasizes that a business must persist into the future to retain its value. This principle signifies that present value already incorporates expectations of future value; thus, a business facing uncertainty about its future will inevitably diminish in present value. It highlights the interconnectedness of present and future values, suggesting that they cannot be regarded in isolation. All stocks traded on the stock market are priced based on their anticipated future value. In essence, we trade on a future that has yet to materialize. Consequently, determining how far into the future to evaluate is a critical factor in making investment decisions. Since individuals have varying skills and perspectives on forecasting the future, selecting an investment strategy must align with one’s attitude toward time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Don’t try to learn from failure... I’ve failed a lot, but I’ve never learned from it. It is a lie to say that you can learn from it even if you fail without fear of failure. It was when I struggled not to fail that I could learn. Failure is only something to accept; you will fail again if you try to learn something from it. Failure is not a tool for learning lessons. It’s not worth it. Human beings learn from unremitting efforts not to fail. Don’t be fooled by petty consolation... Life is short. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
