It is said that men put their words in their hearts, and women put their hearts in their words. Men simply want to present the facts, while women seek empathy. Men speak to solve problems, but women talk to relieve their minds. Although the language used is the same, the grammar of the mind works is often different. Even if their expressions differ, both are necessary; because they are different, we don’t need to build walls. It’s hard, but accepting ‘difference’ opens up a new world. Therefore, the first step to happiness is communication. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0256

The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars, towering about three times higher than Mt. Everest. Its area, covering 295,000 ㎢, surpasses the size of the Korean Peninsula (220,850 ㎢) and is nearly equivalent to that of France or Arizona. While Olympus Mons has a greater height than any mountain on Earth, its vast area results in an average slope of only 5 degrees. As a result, hikers who ascend Olympus Mons often feel as if they are traversing a flat plain. For humans, the steepness of a climb matters more than its height. For example, ascending a steeper 5 m pole can be more challenging than gradually scaling a 500 m mountain. In life, choosing the right slope to climb is often more crucial than focusing solely on the height reached, whether going uphill or downhill. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
