Uncertainty: A Double-Edged Sword in Business and Investment

One important point to note is that 'uncertainty' does not necessarily mean something bad. It is neutral and simply means that we cannot infer the future from the past. However, the future may unexpectedly turn out to be good, as we can see from the growth of companies brought about by new technologies today - something that would have been hard to believe in the past. Therefore, 'uncertainty' has two sides to it, just like 'capital' - it can either appreciate and increase in value, leading to joy and laughter for initial investors, or it can result in total loss of investment. When borrowing money, the amount of capital is taken into consideration and loans are granted based on risk assessment. Thus, in the face of both risk and 'uncertainty', humans have found ways to cope and deal with them.
