Poison: Writer Jong-bong Kim , a full-time investor, said in his book “ Money Scenario ,” “All profits you get without knowing it are poison.” If you make money without knowing whether it’s from a business or a stock investment , you operate and invest with that unaware mindset. Acting without explicit knowledge is extremely risky. The more money you earn unknowingly, the faster a significant loss will come. Continuously doing your business without understanding why customers buy your products or why your stocks generate profit can lead to a serious crisis. The greater the influence, the larger the impact. Whatever you do, you need to understand the core and operate properly. Don’t let luck alone control your abilities. The odds of winning the lottery don’t happen every day. Don’t waste time on gambling. The difference between gambling and business, and between investing and gambling, is just a single page of paper. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Jesus taught, “If you got slapped your right cheek, turn the other cheek.” One of the actions that the Jewish Qumran community denied and forbade was “pointing with the left hand.” Violations of this rule brought sanctions from the community. To hit the right cheek means the opponent strikes with an unclean left or right backhand. This cheek slap is deliberately insulting and humiliating rather than merely a pain-inflicting action. Therefore, this teaching of Jesus, “turn the other cheek,” suggests not allowing oneself to be struck by the back of the hand and can signify not being helpless but being active in nonviolent resistance without seeking revenge or retaliation. Perhaps this teaching carries a frightening meaning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
