When farming, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t rain, but if it rains just twice a year, it ruins the farm. If it rains heavily, it causes a flood; if it doesn’t rain for a long time, it leads to drought. Regularity is a crucial habit that enriches our lives. So is money. Money that comes in regularly every month is more valuable than money that arrives all at once. A small but consistent action taken every day can radically change your life. However, the reason this is hard for us is that the effect must accumulate over a certain period before you can feel a significant difference. Patience accomplishes very valuable things that money cannot achieve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When a prominent cultural innovator escapes monotony and creates an alleyway that embodies a fresh cultural identity, a new attraction emerges, making latecomers envious of this hideout. As the number of visitors grows through word of mouth, real estate prices in the area rise, and landlords are quick to seize this opportunity. Ironically, while the initial pioneers revive the area, gentrification follows due to increased rents that force them out. Landlords hike the prices, often unaware of what prompted the rise, leading to another phase of desolation for the neighborhood. The area gains popularity as visitors share photos on Instagram, highlighting that the surge in property values is fueled by social media rather than by the building’s owner. Ultimately, symbols overshadow actual substance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
