Making money and avoiding losing it are two different things. There is no guarantee that you won’t lose the money you’ve gained just because you make money well. Wealth can’t be achieved unless it’s supported by the right attitude toward money, proper management principles, and the psychological mindset and self-control suitable for the situation. You can gain some wealth through your skills and abilities, but this is less about being wealthy and more about your psychology, attitude toward money, and worldview. Therefore, being smart doesn’t necessarily make you rich. Most importantly, you need to have a clear understanding of your own identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A balloon will pop when placed atop a single pointed needle. However, if you drive the needle with multiple thumbtacks arranged like a rug, the balloon won’t burst. This illustrates that the impact of sharpness can depend on context. Even if we face inner turmoil, the way we position our challenges and the situations we create can transform those difficulties into connections rather than sources of pain. The key lies in how we manage the distribution of sharpness rather than the sharpness itself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
