If you have a flawed business, unwavering faith is not the answer. The answer is to address the flaws or move on.
Most businesses fail because they suffer from one or more flaws. Believing in yourself is important in life, but if you want to be successful in business, believing in yourself won’t fix a broken business. Application of some combination of intelligence, adaptability, financial runway and luck will.
It’s also worth pointing out that this sometimes means knowing when to throw in the towel on a business that can’t succeed so that you can pursue a business that can.
The whole Frank Sinatra My Way “when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out” romanticization of success is just post hoc ergo propter hoc in action.
Yep in Taiwan you couldn’t even travel overseas without permission until the late 70s . Who got to travel and get scholarships and later became professors in Taiwan …Or course the KMT connected folk. Then they always think of themselves as somehow higher class. Yeah higher class cos you robbed other people of the opportunity !
I’m sorry but when I hear my dad talk about his government worker bank account… I sometimes get offended when he tells me he’s struggling.
He lives in THE MOST EXPENSIVE LOCATION IN THE USA and complains that he doesn’t have enough money. He gets first class medical treatment in the US and has the means to pay for it, on top of the fact that he gets medical treatment in Taiwan for free for being a veteran. His house is worth almost a million dollar. If he rented that house the income alone would have given a good life anywhere else in the US, and he’d live like a king in Taiwan. He’s mad at DPP because his retirement money is cut, or rather that special account is cut. On top of everything he gets that retirement money (which I think is about 40k a month) for the rest of his life. That retirement money is probably peanuts compared to what he’s worth in the states.
I don’t see any of that. I tell him that the coronavirus has essentially frozen any work for the foreseeable future and he tells me to get a job at 7-11.
I know that bank account had 18% interest. Don’t know what it is now. You know you can get insanely rich off of it. Get a cash loan and use the interest to pay it off and you’d make off like a bandit.
I heard of cats do stuff like rescue babies or alert owner of danger. So I’m sure they bond, just in different ways. Like my cat will not go near a stranger for example.
No, they’re complete, unmitigated nonsense. Not only are they not true, there’s no basis in biology for thinking they might be true. Various national health authorities have quietly withdrawn their advice about cholesterol, and others have admitted that there’s no correlation between fat and heart disease. But they still keep wittering on about fat regardless. This is typical of the sort of Doublespeak we’re now getting from the Experts (quote from the NHS website):
"There was also no significant association between total saturated fatty acids and coronary risk, both in studies using dietary intake and in those using circulating biomarkers. In addition, there was no significant association between total monounsaturated fatty acids and coronary risk – again, both in studies using dietary intake and those studying fatty acid composition.
Dietary trans fatty acid intake was associated with increased coronary disease risk, although circulating levels were not.
Current UK guidelines remained unchanged … even if saturated fats don’t directly harm your heart, eating too much can lead to obesity, which in turn can damage it."
The backpedalling in the final sentence is false in its entirety, and again this is easily demonstrated from various experimental results. Dietary fat and “calories” have nothing to do with obesity; obesity is only related to heart disease in the sense that the two things often occur together. One is not the cause of the other.
Id be pissed too. I love the deep entitlement have and how much they hate the dpp for that move. I can only laugh and feel sorry for a person with such a selfish view on life.
I guess on the upside I have zero responsibility to pay him if I do make it, because it will be no thanks to him. I mean how so many young Taiwanese have to pay their parents for raising them and all that.
It depends what sort of fried food. Fried chicken, sure, go ahead. All those things on sticks that they deep-fry in the Taiwan night markets, not a problem. When I was actively trying to lose flab, I ate one or the other several times a week.
Fried potatoes, not so much. They do make you fat.
I would suggest not eating only KFC chicken buckets, though. You still need to eat yer veg. Main point being, you’ll soon get sick of eating nothing but grease.
