Making money with money is called finance. Simply put, it’s a money trade. However, the most crucial asset in a business that earns money is ‘time.’ Over time, money can grow into more money, whether through a return on investment or interest. So, what does time do? Time causes changes in value, shifting from low to high, and then back from high to low. Time is not equally valuable to everyone. It provides different returns for those who accurately estimate its worth and take action. The value of time varies from person to person, as each individual perceives it differently. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Rice has been the staple crop of the East, while wheat has been the staple of the West. Rice requires more water to produce than wheat. Rice farmers had to contend with the availability of water, which favored collective farming. Wheat could be grown with less labor than rice. Rice farmers lived collectively, while wheat farmers lived individually. Collective agriculture led to the development of societies that were governed by village rules. On the other hand, individual agriculture led to cultures that valued personal freedom and respect for individuality over communal rules. Patterns of agriculture have indisputably influenced social structure and culture. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
