Growth

In order to grow, you must create sustained demand.

In business if your delivery capacity is 10, you need a sell 20. And keep selling it, even if you can’t deliver. The business must step up to the challenge it is to grow. It will never grow to 20 capacity unless there is a demand for it, and that starts with sales. Sell more than you can deliver, and then deliver flawless execution.

the ultimate choice

Life is hard, and there is no avoiding it. If you avoid hardship, you become weak, and you suffer more. The only option is to choose your hardship. This is the only path that makes you stronger and improves your condition.

The difference between those who succeed and fail is in hardships they choose. Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do, but life is hard all the same.

We can choose our hardships, or we can let life choose them for us.

When we choose, we take control of our life, we actualize our dreams, and direct our destiny.

When life chooses for us, we become a victim of circumstance, and suffer needlessly.

All we need is faith that the vision and discipline required to persistently suffer toward some to-be realized end will guarantee our growth and increase our capacity to be free from circumstance beyond our choice.

We must always pay the price.

Discipline or regret.

Now or later.

There is no avoiding hardship, but we can always choose the terms.

Capitalism

Three options:
A. Increase total population, decrease proportion of total suffering
B. Maintain total population, maintain proportion of total suffering
C. Decrease total population, increase proportion of total suffering

The catch is with option A, total population of suffering increases over B.

This is what I think about when I hear people say capitalism is bad

So essentially you must ask:

Would you prefer a lower proportion of suffering of the total population, or a lower population of total suffering?

If the latter, then you essentially may as well choose C and decrease total population of humanity, and essentially exterminate humanity

If you’re concerned with total numbers of people suffering you may as well just end humanity, because suffering will never be eradicated

Capitalism increases total population but decreases proportion of humanity suffering. The catch is that there will be greater numbers of humans suffering.

If you are not okay with this, then you must choose C and end humanity and the possibility of all suffering.
