Survival is true success. No matter how successful you are, you can’t grasp the fruit with your hands if you can’t survive, and survival itself results from choosing excellence—something no one can fully attain. Of course, luck also plays a role in survival. So, survival is never easy. During tough times, these words of wisdom can help: “This too shall pass.” But we also need to prepare for what to do once that “passing time” has truly gone by. When you succeed, remember, “This too shall pass.” Whether it’s good fortune or disaster, success or failure, you should see all of these as just “processes.” However, if you see them as “conclusions,” everything is wasted. These attitudes demonstrate why a peaceful mind is the most useful and humility is the most valuable asset. In front of the “process,” everything is a high-variability asset whose value shifts. Even suffering follows the same principle. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Anything consigned to the open market is likely to be distorted. Stocks, commodities, real estate, ideas, and even intentions lose their original intent, purpose, and value when released into the market. Since every market participant has different intentions and perspectives, it is natural that everything in the open market is distorted. Therefore, the idea that if you do your best, you will succeed is a superstition. If your efforts are gnawing at your soul, don't try your best anymore. Instead, it's far better to love yourself, to cherish yourself, and to comfort yourself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
