Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

In primitive times, there was no such thing as ‘coincidence’ because all unknown and unpredictable events were interpreted as divine revelation. This reflects a religious and deterministic worldview. Since Christianity was dominant in the West, science also developed based on this deterministic perspective. However, with the rise of quantum mechanics, it has been revealed that the natural world we live in exists in an indeterminate state. Matter is in an uncertain state and becomes determined only when observed by an observer. In other words, the act of observation influences the behavior of the object being observed. To exist and to observe is a deeply metaphysical phenomenon. Do coincidences truly exist? When a decision was made in an undecided state, did God already know the outcome? How much freedom and discretion do humans really have? Does free will truly exist? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Industrial Revolution and advances in science and technology have caused an unprecedented rise in the production of industrial goods. When products made to meet demand cannot be sold, they remain in inventory. If inventory isn’t managed properly, the ability to fulfill purchase requests quickly declines, which harms both producers and consumers. Depreciation is an accounting method that accounts for the decrease in value over time and includes these losses in production costs. So far, the global economy has experienced repeating cycles of booms and recessions. One of the main triggers is inventory. Inventory is a crucial factor that can lead to business failure, but effective inventory management can help promote greater business success. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Entrepreneurship involves starting to invest in the stocks of my own company. However, unlike open-market stock investments, here you invest in your own business, not someone else’s. My company’s performance directly affects my shares. To excel at investing in your own company’s stock, focusing on one key area can significantly boost your chances of success. Conversely, to be good at investing in others’ stocks, it’s better to understand multiple business sectors rather than just one. Since investing in stocks focuses more on minimizing risk than maximizing returns, diversifying resources across several areas makes risk management more effortless. If you master risk aversion, you can reduce losses and increase your chances of surviving in a volatile market. If you are knowledgeable and well-informed, I recommend investing in others’ stocks rather than pursuing entrepreneurship. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The market exists in our minds. Spatial and physical markets are exactly aligned with our brain’s perceptions. If you think small, the market remains small, and if you think big, the market expands. To broaden people’s perceptions, my thoughts must first be large and powerful. When my thoughts collide with those of others, perceptions shift, and markets fluctuate in sync with these new perceptions. That’s why we want to use media to send our messages to the public. It’s also why I need to examine my thoughts carefully before developing markets and understanding them. If I think small, the market also shrinks. Think big and powerful. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you are intelligent, your chances of becoming wealthy are relatively high, but being smart alone doesn’t necessarily make you rich. Wealth can only be achieved when other vital factors come into play, such as those who understand how to judge legal rights in transactions beyond just intelligence, and those who can establish governance or maintain relationships. Luck refers to a situation where all these different conditions are easily satisfied. This happens when I acquire it because all important and diverse conditions align at the same moment and place. Therefore, a deal or opportunity that genuinely works for me shouldn’t be complicated. The more complicated it is, the more likely I am to be scammed. The human brain is wired to seek simplicity. Our brains consistently choose efficiency. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We describe the size and qualities of a human being’s capacity as a ‘bowl.’ People often say that luck or opportunity that exceeds the size of one’s bowl is rather harmful. That’s why people advise you to either seize the luck and opportunity that fit your bowl or make your bowl bigger. So, how do you determine the size of the bowl? Congenital conditions may also influence it, but acquired experiences and self-reflection are factors that shape the size of the bowl. Since I can’t force myself to create luck and opportunity, all I can do is develop my judgment and have the courage to accept or reject. The key to judgment is to avoid underestimating or overestimating yourself. Ultimately, it is most important to understand your own identity properly to make a true bowl. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
