Just my thoughts #0804

Implement: The act of turning thoughts, plans, or wills into reality. There is a significant difference between ‘knowing’ and ‘being able to do.’ Knowing a lot doesn’t mean you’re skilled at it, and just because you’re skilled doesn’t mean you know a lot. It’s limited to ‘knowing,’ and that reality doesn’t change unless you act. It’s crucial to practice “what I can do” first. Even if you have extensive knowledge of stock investing, it’s useless unless you actually invest. Even if you’re poor, you should invest a small amount of money; your knowledge is then put to the test. It’s foolish to study only until you have money and then invest in tangible assets after accumulating substantial wealth. It’s wiser to start with a small investment and gradually increase it as your knowledge is proven. Beginning with what you can do NOW is the ONLY way to truly demonstrate your knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0035

In his book Rhetoric, Aristotle identifies three conditions for the persuasion of people: ethos, pathos, and logos. Simply put, ethos is the inherent character of the persuader. Pathos is the emotional state of the persuadee, and logos is the logic of the persuader. The order of importance is ethos, pathos, and logos. If you want to be an influencer, define your identity, nurture yourself, and listen to your reputation, which is 60% and the psychological state of the listener is 30%. Therefore, who and what you are is the most important thing, and the timing synchronized with the psychological state of the persuadee is the second. However, the inferior people are more obsessed with logic and are more convinced. They define people and judge the world based on whether someone is right or wrong. Then they will continue to live a life of 10% inferiors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
