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”

Every day, I examine the world map. When I zoom in, the map reveals a world I have yet to discover. There are countless unknown places on this planet that I have not experienced. By observing the geography, countries, and attractions, I can learn about history and broaden my perspective on the world. Looking at the map prompts me to reconsider space, time, and culture. For instance, in the Bering Strait, Big Diomede Island belongs to Russia, while Little Diomede Island is part of the United States, and the distance between them is only 3.7 kilometers. The International Date Line passes between these two islands. Even if we were to cross the distance by ship, it would take about 9 minutes at a speed of 15 knots. However, after those 9 minutes, we would find ourselves a full 21 hours behind. This situation illustrates that time is more of a human agreement than a mere physical measurement. Ultimately, learning and personal development are fueled by continuous questioning and doubt.  ...

Humans and the world they inhabit are intricate. We build relationships with one another, rooted in unspoken agreements that reflect sentiments like trust and affection. When hostility arises, I begin to question the underlying implicit agreements. Someone else has a connection with me while being oblivious to my expectations. After experiencing emotional pain due to arguments, we often shift from these unspoken understandings to explicit communication, such as verbal conversations. Still, by then, it may be too late to heal the rift. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans understand the notion of “expectation time.” It’s crucial to confront the issue that is tacitly accepted. This tacit acceptance becomes problematic regardless of whether the “expectation time” is brief or lengthy. For instance, if a meal takes five hours, something must be amiss. Conversely, if a haircut lasts just one minute, people might suspect dishonesty. Effective communication hinges on precise expression, but it is equally essential to manage expectation time appropriately. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
