The Need For Choices

 I hate when people say - only the sky's limit.

That tells me they are fools.

We are living in the world of limited resources.

You must do trade-offs all the time. 

That's the reality. You do compromise.

You must choose - make decisions, out of possible options and know what to do and what to drop off, in terms of work, tasks and obligations. Oh, and people too.

So you do it all the time.

You choose. Or else, you will be living life of chance and circumstances.

That's what smart people do.

You will never accomplish everthing, you will never complete each and every task, and you shouldn't.

Too much demand will make you miserable and stressed.

Choose wisely.

When In Rome...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do  (Medieval Latin sī fuerīs Rōmae, Rōmānō vīvitō mōre; sī fuerīs alibī, vīvitō sīcut ibī; often shortened to when in Rome...), or a later version when in Rome, do as the Pope does, is a proverb attributed to Saint Ambrose. The phrase means that it is advisable to follow the conventions of the area in which you are residing or visiting.

Saint Monica and her son, Saint Augustine, discovered that Saturday was observed as a fast day in Rome, where they planned to visit. However, it was not a fast day where they lived in Milan. They consulted Saint Ambrose who said "When I am here (in Milan) I do not fast on Saturday, when in Rome I do fast on Saturday." That reply is said to have brought about the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do

Amazon Lending

Amazon, Facebook, and Google’s strategies focus on business lending — offering capital to the merchants, small businesses, or enterprises that they often already provide other services to.

Meanwhile, Apple is leaning on its sticky products and loyal customer base to offer consumer lending products like “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options and credit cards.

Lending could be a lucrative opportunity for big tech, with the global SMB lending market alone estimated to be worth $3.4T by 2022. With extensive amounts of data on merchant business operations and consumer spending, tech giants are well-placed to make inroads with lending products and train algorithms to predict creditworthiness.
