Expendable, Old Edo
There is one asset that all of us share, it is finite, unequally distributed, and although it is the most valuable resource we have - it is often nonchalantly discarded as expendable. Businesses often try to maximize its input at the ultimate expense of its employees, but do they ever think about whether this maximization is really optimal? People tend to ignore its presence, and they do a fine job doing so, but then again they never really gave it much attention until just a few hundred years ago.
Considering that it is the most valuable resource we have, I’m curious - what do you trade it for?
On another topic, on my journey home today I decided to take a few photos. Here is the most exciting one I had, well not really, but the others are for Friday. In every station and on almost every sidewalk are these specially ridged tile insets that help visually impaired people find their way around. There are different textured insets to indicate different things, such as the end of a sidewalk, a junction, the opening for a train door, the beginning of some stairs.
I have to give Japan credit for trying to be very fair to those that have vision impairments.

Honestly, I tend to spend my most valuable resource on low risk entertainment. but i’m learning to invest in earning more instead of spending it, or at least spending it in a way that somewhat resembles a plan.

From what I can tell, you are definitely on the right track as of late.
