Just my thoughts #0706

As Voltaire said, “History never repeats itself; man always does.” Many interpret this saying differently, but the core message that human behavior is hard to change is clear. Since humans cannot predict the future, they can only forecast it based on past experiences. That’s the best way to anticipate what’s ahead. The current economic and financial landscape is driven by irrational human behavior that remains constant. It is not based on <hard skills> like investment techniques or mathematical formulas but on <soft skills> such as emotions, psychological reactions, and attitudes. Understanding humans helps us understand the world. Therefore, history and the humanities play a significant role in wealth building. However, it takes just a few soft skills to accumulate wealth, and ultimately, human actions shape a person’s destiny. In wealth building, soft skills and behavior matter more than grand theories or knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

For the security of the Internet service, we have been asked by the Internet service companies to set the password combined by more than 8 or 10 "uppercase letter+lowercase letter+number+special character". But it was obviously of no use. This security guideline was recommended by Bill Burr who worked at NIST in the USA, he suggested this way in his report. Furthermore, the user was required to change the initial password set regularly. Despite this measure, the best way of security to protect users' accounts was the notification of the alarm for attempted hacking when the hacker tried. We have only tried to change the keys despite the simple method meanwhile. Today, the world has begun to comprehend that the security problem is not encryption or confidentiality, but simply cyber-dominion control and communication. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
