Break-even Point

Break-even Point. In accounting, it is the point where you reach a certain level of sales where there is no loss and there is no gain. A point where total sales equal the total expenses thus, profit is equal to zero. But the computation is far more complicated than summarizing or adding total expenses then subtracting it from total sales. You have to understand the behavior of your costs which is affected by a variety of factors: capacity, price, volume etc. To simplify there are assumptions regarding their relationships that assumed valid over the relevant range of activity and at a specified period of time. When you exceeded the break-even point, you gain-- therefore, you win.

In life sometimes you love someone but that someone doesn't love you back. And sometimes someone loves you but you don't love them in the same way. Quits lang. Even. (hmmm.. or isn't odd?)

When two people break-up they try to get even, resorting to revenge, inflicting pain. When someone scores a point he/she wins and the other loses. Then there's a point where they'll reach the break-even and realized.... Nobody wins.

My law professor once said that love and trust are two different things. You may love someone but you may not trust him or her because love is for you to give and it is given freely but trust is up to the other person if he/she deserves to earn it.

But it is important to note that like the factors in computing the break-even point, truth is only true within the relevant range, within the relevant period of time. It is the point where truth and honesty matter. After such point everything to be said doesn't matter anymore. It becomes insignificant or worse tainted. As time passes a new version of truth exist as this may already have been influenced by new information that changes or affirms prejudice, previous assumptions and then there's a thing called justification.

Personally and in business it has been said that you must learn to see and grab the opportunity otherwise you'll miss it and you lose. The same with truth, we were given limited time and opportunity. Grab it, otherwise you may never earn the trust and lose (it, him or her)

Break-even. Got that point? Exceeded it? Or missed it?
