Goldfish Orb—
It is a mysterious orb created by a sage from a certain continent that can generate words, draw pictures, and work in place of humans.
The light of the Goldfish Orb reached far and wide like magic, captivating people.
That light also reached a certain village.
It is said that this village once manipulated fire, forged iron, and was held in high regard by distant lands.
Those glorious days are long in the past, but the villagers lived happily, turning a blind eye to that fact.
However, there was a "dreaming man" in the village who was bored with such a situation.
The man looked at the Goldfish Orb and shouted excitedly:
"This Goldfish Orb will surely possess a trillion times the wisdom of humanity!"
"I will throw all my gold coins, my debts, and my dreams for the future into the Goldfish Orb!"
The man crossed to the continent and piled gold coins before the sage of the continent without hesitation.
The sage of the continent smiled, accepted them, and whispered:
"What a good wallet."
Meanwhile, in the village, the man's actions created a frenzy.
"That man knows the future!"
"The village will develop even further with the Goldfish Orb!"
"We will demonstrate our leadership!"
In truth, no one knew what the Goldfish Orb was, but the villagers threw their own savings into the man's bag.
Hearing of this, the lord of the village also said.
“Yes, now is the time for the Goldfish Orb strategy!”
“Our village shall lead the world with Goldfish Orbs!”
The young retainers nodded in agreement with the lord.
And so, at the lord's instruction,the village's “Goldfish Orb experts”began to write scrolls.
〈Governance, ecosystem, social implementation, reliability assessment...〉
Neither the lord nor the villagers understood a single thing, but they were satisfied with the pile of scrolls that had accumulated.
Then, the dreamer spoke with a smile.
“The next Goldfish Orb will be even more amazing! Lend me just a little more gold.”
The villagers once again tossed gold coins into the bag.
Today, too, the villagers look up at the night sky, pointing at the Goldfish Orb floating over a distant continent, and say:
“Someday, that will reach us too.”
“My child is attending a Goldfish Orb cram school, too.”
“Our village is amazing, so we'll be fine.”
And so, the village continued to lose its gold coins, happily and quietly.
Happily ever after.

The moral of this story illustrates the dangers of blind trust and investment. I will explain the points in detail below.
Blind trust: The villagers believed the goldfish orbs would change their future without knowing their true nature. This illustrates the danger of jumping into new technologies or ideas without sufficient information or understanding. For example, even today, when new technologies or investment products appear, many people jump into them without understanding the details, but that does not necessarily lead to success.
Herd mentality: The villagers were influenced by the dreamer's actions and threw their gold coins one after another. This is a lesson that herd mentality can cloud individual judgment. When many people take the same action, it can feel like the right thing to do, but in reality, calm judgment is necessary.
Lack of leadership: The lord and the intellectuals wrote scrolls and tried to lead the villagers without understanding the reality of the goldfish orbs. This shows that if a leader does not have solid knowledge and understanding, the entire organization can head in the wrong direction. Leadership requires the ability to accurately grasp information and make appropriate decisions.
Investment risk: The villagers kept throwing gold coins at the goldfish orbs, but in the end, they gained nothing. This teaches us that investments carry risks and require careful judgment. When making an investment, it is important to fully understand the risks and conduct appropriate research.
This story teaches us the importance of thoroughly understanding information, avoiding blind trust, and making careful judgments. Let us not forget that similar lessons apply to many situations in modern society as well.
