The examples of successful people should serve only as references, but you should use them as opportunities to reflect and consider yourself as the key to success. If you generalize the success secrets of successful people, you will eventually end up with meaningless advice that offers hope, and you might even undermine yourself. The circumstances, timing, qualities, and talents of successful people are not the same as mine, so it’s risky to generalize their secrets. Instead of making such broad assumptions, you can only succeed if you develop your own philosophy and approach based on your inclinations, qualities, and circumstances, using success secrets as inspiration.

Money is essentially the same, yet it creates different qualities in how it is used and transacted. In other words, the quality associated with money varies. Not all debts are created equal; there are good debts and bad debts . The quality of these debts can also be classified as good or bad, impacting sales and profits. This is similar to how paying the same amount for fruits can yield different results: one box might contain delicious fruit while another may hold tasteless ones. Thus, even when spending the same amount of money, the pleasure and satisfaction derived from the taste can vary significantly. When these differences accumulate, the utility value of money significantly affects wealth distribution , making the gap between wealth and poverty even more pronounced. Earning well, spending wisely , and borrowing judiciously greatly influence our happiness in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
