Business debates who benefits most from time. When borrowing money, the debtor gains the benefit of time until the repayment date. Since the period before repayment favors the debtor, the debtor compensates the creditor with interest. However, as the repayment date approaches, time shifts to favor the creditor. After the due date, the debtor loses the benefit of time, known as ‘acceleration of debt,’ and must repay both the principal and interest. Time benefits debtors but poses risks to creditors. Therefore, lending money without interest results in a loss. All of this illustrates the power of time. Time is money, and money derives its value from time. The most important factors for CEOs to focus on are time and, next, opportunity cost. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When it comes to people, what is more frightening, guns or bullets? Of course, it is a gun. People are more sensitive to direct threats than indirect threats. The invisible is not afraid. The essence of fear comes from the “unknown,” but it also comes into contact with calculations that seem more likely to be a threat. The free time that threats have not yet been implemented plays a rich soil in corruption and crime. However, the guns and bullets are all scary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
