The big If...

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥

Not sure why would I do that.

Why would you follow my posts? Only "if interested".

If is a word that changes everything in life

Just like Leonida said it:

"If"

For me to invest time into something it means I understood what is the positive outcome I am investing in and when and how the outcome is due.

And how do I come to understand what is the positive outcome I am investing and and when/how the outcome is due?

One way is to go with what I already am doing and deviate from that according to what is available around,

another way is to talk to people (I am talking to you right now) and risk wasting time (often happens) that sometimes is presenting some positive outcome,

the other one is to throw stones into the lake and see if they make waves (blogging for example) or simply binging through youtube/odysee/rumble/ or various blogs or vlogs to get to know trends, ideas, people, etc. which again is risking time I don't have much of, hoping in an outcome of some sorts that sometimes happen, sometimes it does not.

Time is my most precious resource—with a lot fewer years ahead of me than behind.

Time means money, but is money going to buy you more time on Earth?

In mathematics there is a principle that you can change the position of two numbers in the ecuation, as long as you do not change the operation betwen them, the output is the same. Like 2 times 3 equals 6. But also 3 times 2 equals same 6.

In real life instead math goes bust; since time means money (what a sad thing to say), you actually are selling your (limited) time for some money, but once you have money, can you buy some more time on Earth to replace time wasted in earning money?

Say you hit the jackpot and are now a bilionaire, how many centuries are you going to live now?

Math is only good with numbers that are abstract, life is not an abstract thing, is much more like a concrete thing, and apparently we have no clue how concrete things behave in real life, an abstract invention, a social convention; such as money, borders, etc, can be matematically accouted for, but life... do the math please.

Perfection is never achieved, just neared... in any project.

Anytime somebody tells you that this, or that, or the other is spot on... it does not mean it is perfect.


It only means it is the best set of compromises between cost, market selling price range, craftsmanship and materials quality, and their availability obviously, processing capabilites, tax costs, and market perception possible at that moment in time, and the hope said set of compromises do not change parameters too much for the foreseable time to recuperate investment in production line, initial production stock of materials, investment in design, engineering, marketing effort and the associated taxes to all this.

In other words it is not that perfection does not exist at all, it is just not feasible if you want to stay afloat economically as a business, or as a person, and obviously whatever you might deem perfect today will not be anymore perfect in the future.

Because somewhere, somebody, sometime, will come up with a better idea and your perfection becomes obsolete all of a sudden.

Or maybe not, nobody comes up with a better and more perfect version of what you are doing, it is just that the marekt perception about their needs and wants goes towards another field leaving the entire industry of your filed, your business included, out in the dessert hang upside down to dry in the sun untill it becomes fosilised history.


Happens all the time, large and mighty corporatons went bust in a season for such reasons, to name a few would be Kodak, Nokia, but also small and extremelly promising startups like DeLorean for example,that thou is now extremelly famous due to a movie (Back to the future), is still dead as dead it might be anyway.
