Poison: Writer Jong-bong Kim , a full-time investor, said in his book “ Money Scenario ,” “All profits you get without knowing it are poison.” If you make money without knowing whether it’s from a business or a stock investment , you operate and invest with that unaware mindset. Acting without explicit knowledge is extremely risky. The more money you earn unknowingly, the faster a significant loss will come. Continuously doing your business without understanding why customers buy your products or why your stocks generate profit can lead to a serious crisis. The greater the influence, the larger the impact. Whatever you do, you need to understand the core and operate properly. Don’t let luck alone control your abilities. The odds of winning the lottery don’t happen every day. Don’t waste time on gambling. The difference between gambling and business, and between investing and gambling, is just a single page of paper. - 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”
