Emotions do not change facts. China the elephant in the jungle

 We've all been there—we're frustrated, we're sure of something, and we want the world to work according to our rules. But the truth is entirely different.

Back then, there wasn't much information, and it all came down to politicians convincing the masses. Anything else, even if it was true, was called a conspiracy. When I discuss a certain country, I always mean politics and politicians. Regarding China, if you look at today's media and social networks, you can hear or read all sorts of words against them. But if we go back as far as possible and trace the actions of the politicians/emperors of this country. For these 5000 years, they mainly defended themselves from invaders. There are very few facts that they attacked other people. If we go back only 90 years, we will understand that the Japanese killed 20 million civilians in China. But they have not sought revenge to this day. They didn't attack Mongolia with a huge territory and only 3 million people. When I look at it, the return of Hong Kong and Macau. They didn't make these cities into something bad, but they helped them develop much better. For example, Hong Kong is a financial center, Macau is the largest casino in the world, and at any moment, the island of Hanoi will be turned into the largest duty-free zone. Regarding Taiwan (95% of the country's population is Han Chinese), where it is constantly accused of wanting to take it over militarily, when we look at it, it not only helps to develop but also helps in many ways to represent itself in various organizations, despite the fact that it is not recognized as an official state by the rest of the world. Looking at its policy, mainly other countries, it builds infrastructure in these countries that benefits the people. It does not provoke force and sells weapons. Because it knows that someday this weapon can be turned against it. There are some words. Matthew 26:52: He who draws the sword will die by the sword. The fact that the world envies them is another matter. The fact that they have socialist ideas does not make them bad. I suppose I would also be against some of their policies regarding monitoring public places and imposing restrictions. But just thinking about it, they have cities with a population that is larger than many countries; how can they control and establish order? They allow private entrepreneurship, and this is proof that they are not a tyrannical state. The fact is that all the big Western companies invest there because it is a vast market. Anyway, I think for every eight people that live, there are one and a half people on the planet. My opinion is that they are the elephant in the jungle and are the herbivore, and they don't care which other animal wants to become king of the jungle. Regardless of the fact that they call it the dragon, at least it is resting, and we should be grateful and not hurt it. Because even a wounded elephant becomes dangerous, and without wanting to, any other animal can step on it and crush it. I don't need to point out how much they have given to the world and continue to give.

The facts don't care how you feel and what emotions you have from the manipulated media of other politicians who are looking for some personal gain at the expense of the elephant.

What is the smallest investment you can make for yourself?

Let's be real for a second. Whether you're glancing at your retirement fund, scrolling through job postings, or just trying to navigate the price of groceries, there's one thing that feels constant: change. People often perceive this constant change as instability. The stock market experiences fluctuations, the job market adapts to technological advancements, and even the housing market exhibits unpredictable fluctuations. It's enough to make anyone feel twitchy about their future. That's why I love this quote from Mikhail Barshchevsky: "Markets are unstable. Invest in yourself." Simple, right? However, the implications are profound.  This piece of wisdom isn't just a clever saying. Firstly, Barshchevsky confronts us with the harsh reality: "Markets are unstable." And he's not wrong. Financial Markets: Stocks go up and down. Cryptocurrencies soar and plummet. Interest rates fluctuate, affecting everything from your savings to your mortgag...

True wealth: Ethics, People, and Nature.

In a world that often measures success by bank statements and material possessions, it is easy to forget what it really means to be “rich.” If we rethink the concept, we will see that wealth is not what we accumulate for ourselves but what we contribute to the world. As I have a saying, “If we think morally right and our actions are in the interest of people and nature, then we show how rich we are.” This statement of mine challenges the logic of consumer society. Wealth here is transformed from quantity of possessions to quality of character. In the moral choices of everyday life, Wealth is manifested in our ability to make the “right” choices when no one is looking. Would you choose to support a local producer, even if the product is somewhat pricier, instead of buying a mass-produced product that supports exploitative practices? This act is an investment in society—you are “rich” in consciousness. When we care for nature as a legacy, which is our greatest asset, we often treat it as...

Why True Consulting is About Building

 In the realm of investment and consulting, the alluring promise of "guaranteed returns" frequently obscures the distinction between a visionary and a predator. But there is a fundamental difference between a consultant who helps you grow and one who helps you escape reality. The Illusion of the "Foreign Perfume": Imagine a kingdom where the people live in hardship. A consultant arrives and convinces them to take their last coins and send them to a distant land. Why? Because that land produces exquisite perfumes, it promises a profit of 5% to 10%. The logic is seductive: "Invest there, receive your gold back, and buy a bottle of perfume." Then, you won’t have to smell the stench of the misery around you."  This is the definition of a bad consultant. They teach you how to mask the symptoms of a problem rather than curing the disease. They encourage the drainage of local wealth to fuel someone else’s economy, leaving your own "kingdom"—your c...
