What goes up, must come down

What does it mean to say something is 'climbing the ladder of success'? The saying obviously means that there is a progression, a step-by-step process of achieving something. That's a good thing, right? After all, aren't we supposed to want to do better and improve our lot in life?

The saying also seems to imply that if you fall off the ladder of success, you'll be in trouble. You'll be out of luck. So maybe it's not such a good thing to be climbing the ladder of success after all. In fact, according to this saying, you might suddenly find yourself falling off the very ladder on which you are climbing. It's almost like the ladder is standing up against a cliff with you on top, and the ground keeps getting further and further away as you climb up.

The height concept applies to many things but not always. Some things get darker or lighter as they get older, but they don't really grow taller or shorter. So the concept of "height" can be abstractly extended to those situations provided that we give it a bit of thought since it would seem weird if we referred to an older person's "height" or even one's health as being "tall" or "short". Although we do use these words in this way metaphorically, it brings up the question of whether these words should be used at all in these situations.

Most of us never consider that our investments get old and lose value. Most of us will make investments in clothes and shoes, but we will end up throwing them away before they get old.

When you buy a new car, it will be worth less than the original price in 3 to 5 years. After that the value will decrease at an increasing rate. This is what is known as depreciation. It is not caused by abuse but it's just the physical characteristics of the vehicle that cause it to fall in value.

Cars are used heavily and wear and tear is part of the deal. You might protect your stereo or even your car paint with a cover or wrap, you can't cover or wrap its essential parts; those parts will wear out with time. In most cases even if the owner is careful not to abuse the vehicle its primary parts wear out before the secondary parts do.

The good thing about this process is that you can use it to your advantage.  An old car has already lost most of its value, you can still get 80% of it's original value if you decide to sell it in three years or less after you purchased it.

This formula can also be applied to other big ticket items such as furniture, computers, tools and other objects. Everything so far created will lose most of its value with time if not protected or taken care of in some way. There's a huge difference between keeping an object protected but still usable state and it being well taken care of which will dramatically effect its value.

I was inspire to write after seeing a tweet by a model in cryptocurrencies investment @MarcDeMesel .“ What goes up, must come down. Exploding used car prices big factor in rising inflation numbers. But the shortage of cars created by covid flight of city, will likely be reversed.”
