+The Infinite Game[^1]
+-----------------
+
+Large groups of people, united in common cause, chose to collaborate with no clear end in sight because we felt like we were contributing to something bigger than ourselves, something with value that would last well beyond our own lifetimes
+
+It is well within our power to build a world in which the vast majority of us wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe at work and return home fulfilled at the end of the day
+
+Great leaders are the ones who think beyond “short term” versus “long term.” They are the ones who know that it is not about the next quarter or the next election; it is about the next generation.
+
+When we lead with a finite mindset in an infinite game, it leads to all kinds of problems, the most common of which include the decline of trust, cooperation and innovation. Leading with an infinite mindset in an infinite game, in contrast, really does move us in a better direction. Groups that adopt an infinite mindset enjoy vastly higher levels of trust, cooperation and innovation and all the subsequent benefits.
+
+Just Cause
+
+Facing competition, we keep being ourselves
+
+Fighting to “win“ v.s. Fighting for lives and values
+
+A Just Cause
+
+For something
+
+affirmative (not against something) and optimistic
+
+inspiring
+
+Inclusive
+
+serves as an invitation to join others in advancing a cause bigger than ourselves
+
+A clear Cause is what ignites our passions
+
+Infinite-minded leaders actively seek out employees, customers and investors who share a passion for the Just Cause.
+
+Service oriented - for the primary benefit of others, not company
+
+Resilient - independent of any physical produce or services
+
+Idealistic - no matter how much we have achieved, we always feel we have further to go.
+
+✅ A Just Cause Based Capitalism
+
+Adam Smith proposed a just cause based capitalism:
+
+Consumption is the sole purpose of producer
+
+The “invisible-hand“ ultimately gets customer the best product
+
+❌ An Abused Capitalism
+
+Proposed by Nobel Prize winner Friedman
+
+The few people who control mega resources and abuse the system for personal gain is the sole purpose of producer
+
+Short-term finite-game mindset is then promoted throughout
+
+More severely, that leads to the many of the mistreatment of customers and employees to become normalized
