One of the purposes of commerce is to build strength. Gaining wealth gives us power, which is the ability to influence others. There are three main types of power: first, power gained through coercion or threats; second, power obtained through payment or inducement; and third, power gained through attraction. The power obtained through coercion, threats, payment, or inducement—that is, force or tactics—is called ‘hard power,’ while the power gained through ‘attraction’ without using force is called ‘soft power.’ Additionally, the ability to effectively achieve your goals using coercion, payment, and attraction is known as ‘smart power.’ Depending on the situation, we may need all three types; however, soft power is something that everyone admires. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Living hard means saying when you are on the right track. Getting out of the way is the right answer if you've taken the wrong way. And you will live harder in the right way you choose again. Life is a choice before hard work. But most people try to win the choice with effort. In other words, this is called “hardship”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
