Just my thoughts #0685

The market exists in our minds. Spatial and physical markets are exactly aligned with our brain’s perceptions. If you think small, the market remains small, and if you think big, the market expands. To broaden people’s perceptions, my thoughts must first be large and powerful. When my thoughts collide with those of others, perceptions shift, and markets fluctuate in sync with these new perceptions. That’s why we want to use media to send our messages to the public. It’s also why I need to examine my thoughts carefully before developing markets and understanding them. If I think small, the market also shrinks. Think big and powerful. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There’s a saying that after a flood, no water is left to drink. Those who see this as a metaphor grasp that it signifies that “usefulness” outweighs “quantity.” In contrast, literal interpreters might invest in stocks for “mineral water” due to an anticipated rise in demand for bottled water post-flood. This illustrates how interpretation and action can diverge significantly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Diamonds are useless but expensive. At best, the usefulness of diamonds is just a hardness. There are many beautiful colored gems other than diamonds in the world. Paradoxically, diamonds are worth more because they are useless. A way for the rich to show off their wealth is to show that even if it is futile, they can pay for what others cannot. It is not the only value that is useful in the world. Value purely comes from a human. Focus on how human needs arise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
