Human relationships can break down in an instant, but most are the result of long-term mistrust. Likewise, reliability is built over time. A single special trigger can initiate this breakdown, with all outcomes being a continuous accumulation of small factors. When you reflect on your relationship, you may identify a certain pattern by reconsidering what earned your partner’s trust and what let them down. That pattern reveals my true self exposed to the outside. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the animation “Finding Nemo,” the main character, Nemo, asks questions about the sea and where he lives. “What is the sea?” Hearing this, the dolphin puts Nemo on its back and jumps over the water to reveal her world. When you are in the sea, you do not know what the sea is. However, when you rise above the surface, you can see that the sea is a place where water gathers at a low level, and above it are air and land. She eventually realizes that she is also on the ground with water. If you want to understand the essence and grasp the reality, you must step out of the place you belong to for a while. Further development and reform can be expected. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Understanding what one belongs to is knowledge derived from personal experience. In fact, the experiences of others can provide a more accurate understanding of your place in the world. A third-party perspective is crucial for problem-solving. The viewpoint and position of an outsider, rather than my own, enable me to comprehend my situation most objectively. A solution lacking objectivity is likely to lead to the repetition of problems and may render them unsolvable forever. When I ascend the mountain and gaze down at the town I live in, I notice things I’ve never seen before. Significant progress occurs when a third-party perspective is applied. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“This shampoo prevents hair loss,” and “Do your drains get clogged often? Change your shampoo!” Which of the two messages is better? Both messages appeal to the shampoo’s effectiveness in reducing hair loss, with the former addressing the person experiencing this issue, and the latter targeting all family members, including him. Depending on how one interprets the impact of preventing hair loss, the sales results can vary significantly. Some view it as maintaining a good appearance, while others see it as a matter of hygiene and convenience. Linking product benefits to public interest offers many advantages. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Making money, growing money, protecting money, and using money wisely are different issues. Being good at one does not guarantee success in others. The important thing is to earn, grow, and safeguard your money, and then care for the people around you. To win money at a casino, you just need to observe the successful winners and replicate their actions. You cannot engage in economic activities alone; you need a business partner to earn and manage money together. While it is possible to go solo, you may struggle to expand beyond a certain limit. That doesn’t mean I ignore the poor. If there are needy individuals around you, they might come to you to borrow money, or you might help them at some point. If you try to thrive on your own, it will be challenging to retain your wealth. You can safeguard your money by helping those around you become prosperous as well. However, some people disregard this idea. A person who believes in the power of money often flaunts that power. When these peop...

Macroscopic and microscopic perspectives sometimes reveal contradictions or conflicts of logic. We must consider the variable of time when forming our thoughts and judgments, because in many cases what is considered right macroscopically may not be appropriate microscopically. In stock investing, stocks deemed correct from a long-term view are often seen as poorly chosen from a short-term perspective. Our values and judgments are sometimes praised and at other times criticized over a certain period. It seems like an innocent prank over time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

You should buy stocks when they are cheap and sell them when they are high to make a profit. However, is this principle only applicable to stocks? All assets should be purchased when they are inexpensive and sold when they are at a high value to create and maintain wealth. Stock prices are easier to fall than to rise. Temptation leads to fear, and fear leads to temptation. People want to buy something that is becoming expensive (or has its price inflated) and sell it quickly because they fear the price will drop. Of course, if the fear is too intense, it becomes challenging to act, so you may refrain from selling even though you know the price will decline further. If this is instinct, then buying and selling stocks should be reversed. Stock prices are more complicated to rise but easier to fall. The rise in price occurs because the performance value must act as the energy for the stock. Therefore, stocks should be viewed as good to buy rather than good to sell. A stock’s fate is deter...
