Just my thoughts #0335

Steve Jobs envisioned integrating a computer chip into existing wireless phones. He seldom pursued new technology development; rather, he aimed to combine existing technologies to achieve his goals. Innovation means creating significant change through the right blend of what already exists. Often, even one’s own business or profession remains underappreciated. If you grasp that well, your chances of business failure will significantly decrease. Unfortunately, this is often not the case in reality. Focus on the essence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The significant characteristic of a mistake when it has occurred once is that it tends to be repeated over and over again. Therefore, genuine mistakes are only the first ones. After that, each subsequent mistake proves a lack of wisdom. People rarely change, so instead of trying to change them, we should wisely change the system to which they belong. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

One instance where results justify motivation and process is branding. People observe successful, well-known brands and assume that they were established through elaborate planning by marketing experts from the outset. However, most thriving brands remain in existence not because of strategic planning but because they have “survived.” If your business endures, the result justifies the brand and imbues it with meaning. A brand serves as a reward for survival. It makes sense only when it survives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In some cases, the outcome completes the intention to act. Although it wasn’t the original intention, it is a situation where the result of the action appears positively, and even the intention is glorified. Of course, the opposite can also occur. If the result of an action taken with good intentions is negative, those good intentions become a target for blame. It would be ideal if the intention and the result aligned, but that isn’t always the case. There are numerous instances where it is challenging to interpret this world full of deception and changes of heart with naivety alone. Yet, reality is shaped by the accumulation of results. If you achieve good results despite having bad intentions, it is considered luck. Skills cannot overcome luck. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Until that incident, he felt at ease, but David’s suffering began after he laid Goliath on the ground. To dream of success, one must pay a fair price. The reason for avoiding payment is that people either don’t know how to pay the price or fear that their own payment will be wasted. Calculate profits and losses later. The costs associated with success must be paid upfront. Gifts are typically given and received on birthdays or Christmas. Can’t we not live in this world solely as gifts? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The weight of a glass of water isn’t heavy, but holding it for a long time can numb your arm. Obsession matters more than the weight of life. If we cling to both hate and stress for too long, our souls become paralyzed. Even small stresses shouldn’t be dismissed, and even mild hatred shouldn’t be ignored in our hearts. The peril of obsession is that my heart becomes numb without me realizing it, and forgiveness has the power to save both the one who hates me and myself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
