Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Some characters occasionally appear only to family members or close friends. For example, although he is generally generous to others, he becomes angry with his mother, who has endured much for him. He does not contain his anger toward a specific person for long. Even those who have known me for a long time, my unusual character, which they may not fully understand, defines me, intervenes in my life until death, and influences critical moments. Even within my family, if they cannot accept my unique and limited character, I will ultimately live as if estranged from someone else. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

One person gives freely yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (Proverbs 11:24) This is a record from the Old Testament. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement of wastefulness. Wealth is not determined by the amount of income and expenditure but rather by purpose, relationships, and the timing of the purpose-fit-management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Only a few founders genuinely grasp the essence of their businesses from the start. After launching, they often start to grasp the core of their ventures as their customer bases expand. If startups had a clearer insight into their businesses from the outset, they could significantly lower their chances of failure. The sooner you identify your business’s essence, the greater your chances for success will be. Furthermore, if you can quickly pivot your business direction—even if you realize it later—the likelihood of failure diminishes. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Leaders delegate, while bosses manage. Organizations that have numerous meetings and extensive reporting are led by bosses, not leaders. Another factor contributing to this phenomenon is that the work being performed is viewed not as a product but as a project. Product work emphasizes customer experience, whereas project work relates to compliance deadlines. Consequently, project work involves many meetings and reporting. Dysfunctional organizations are characterized by excessive meetings, while successful organizations prioritize conversations over meetings. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Individuals believe that “information” translates to money in the online world, but “attention” actually leads to significant financial gains. Without capturing people’s attention, online information is merely useful but may struggle to generate revenue. Attention operates under a system where the winner takes all (a principle where 80% of results are dominated by 20% of players). Even so, winning once does not guarantee lasting benefits, and to sustain that monopoly, attention must be tied to reputation, as well as good fame. However, attention is a limited resource. It is like a mother who cannot give equal attention to all her children, even if she loves them equally. Thus, choice and focus enhance attention. It’s not information; it’s attention. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

To achieve your goals, your will and attitude must change accordingly. For instance, if you set a goal to become wealthy, your mindset, attitude, and actions must also align with that goal. The consequences of our actions ultimately shape our lives. Simply understanding something does not lead to change. Those who genuinely want to change their behavior will do so. Before you reach your goal, your will and attitude must adjust to support that direction. Life is a genuine battlefield. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
