Whenever you want to be assigned more, there’s only one reason: you have value.

The international market has always oscillated between risk-on and risk-off sentiment, while the domestic market has always swung between fairness and efficiency.

When everyone’s reserves are running low, efficiency must come first; when everyone’s reserves haven’t run dry yet, there will always be room for fairness.

So when you’re looking for the canary in the coal mine for business trends, keep your focus sharp. What should you focus on? Focus on people’s actual circumstances.
