Writing: Communicate verbally and express thoughts clearly. Among these, writing that records language is undoubtedly the most powerful way to harness the power of words. This is why teaching essay writing in private high schools and universities across the United States, and emphasizing writing throughout the school year, is equally important. Being skilled at writing doesn’t necessarily mean making good money, but if you can craft compelling stories, it can significantly help you become wealthy. Keeping an investment diary with storytelling elements in stock investing allows you to develop your core principles and minimize errors in your decisions. Writing is the most effective tool to enter the world of wealth. In the future, a significant gap is expected to exist between those who train to write and those who don’t. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Capitalistic thinking is not about domination by capital; it refers to financial thinking. The economy revolves around exchange. The performance of the counterparty corresponding to what I want to exchange is called ‘ consideration ,’ and a ‘ transaction ’ is the accumulation of added value by exchanging equal considerations.

These two thinking systems were called “system 1” and “system 2”. “System 1” is an intuitive and emotional thinking system that operates unconsciously and immediately. “System 2” is rational and is determined by careful consideration. “System 1” is advantageous for survival in a crisis and works immediately, so operating costs are less than “System 2”. When humans make decisions, they decide 95% with “System 1” and 5% with “System 2”. Humans decide by emotion, but by reason, they must revenge those foolish emotions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
