Courage and brazenness, which ordinary humans often lack, are essential assets for beggars. Courage- especially the kind that others cannot easily afford- holds significant value. This value stems from the essence of courage itself rather than its rarity. We need brazenness when we owe others for a time, yet we must act for ourselves, even at the cost of feeling remorse. Thus, intangible assets like courage and brazenness can replace tangible assets such as cash. Let’s not despair over our lack of material possessions. This does not imply that we should be beggars; rather, it suggests that there are many models in the world to follow. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Experience should not serve as a constraint that confines individuals to their past; instead, it should act as a foundation for future endeavors. While successful experiences can instill confidence, they may simultaneously restrict one’s thoughts and actions, leading to potential lapses in judgment. It is noteworthy that my achievements may not have solely stemmed from my abilities but could have been attributed to fortuitous circumstances, often arising from the missteps of others. A valuable experience should not foster arrogance or dismiss the fallibility of unwavering self-assurance and disregard for alternative perspectives. To mitigate the risk of failure, one must cultivate humility. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
