There is no way to make time. Eventually, humans face the problem of giving up something without exception. Slack is the price of giving up. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0137

From a financial system perspective, there are two ways of doing business. Some people try to make money by earning money, and others try to earn money by making money. It's like a pun, but its meaning and value greatly differ. It's a concept that takes work to understand. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Kenichi Omae (大前硏一) is a Japanese economist. He confidently asserted that there are only three ways to change our lives: 1. Spending time differently 2. Changing where we live 3. Making new people. Making new decisions is the most meaningless. Doing all three simultaneously is “marriage and divorce” and “changing occupation.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A comment system was in place at a United States Forest Service branch with 2,500 employees. The employees were instructed to submit their proposals on page 4 for comment. Two hundred and fifty-two proposals were submitted over four years. In terms of the number of employees, one idea was proposed every 40 years. The change was necessary. Employees were required to submit a brief idea outline via email. In 30 days, the idea could be implemented if there was no response from the designated contact and no legal issues arose. In the first year, 6,000 ideas were generated. A person without creativity may enter the organization, but the organization may destroy creativity. It's more effective to eliminate factors that impede creativity than to attempt to enhance it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There is something that does not change even in the changing situation. For example, even if an autonomous vehicle comes out, the transport property of “the machine that moves the space” does not change. In other words, there is a reason for existence that DOES NOT CHANGE as time passes and the situation changes in some work or object. This is called “essence”. Any improvement, development, or attempt to violate this “essence” must fail. Of course, there are times when it succeeds. But that already was not the essence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Talent is rather not to be developed. It is revealed. Efforts are made to enhance this revealed state, which we call “ability.” When this ability is randomly known to the public by chance, it is said to be “good luck.” Talent is given, and luck is also provided. We believe that a worthy human being puts in the effort. However, success is not solely determined by effort. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
