Just my thoughts #0390

If we don’t have something, we often think we don’t have it at all. However, even when we possess nothing, we fail to check if someone around us has something, and we simply give up. If someone nearby lacks it, we give up immediately. We struggle to identify the next person around us, don’t inquire about introductions, and we lack the courage to reach out. In difficult situations, we see only the fact that we have nothing substantial and can’t contemplate anything beyond that. No, we don’t even attempt to change our mindset. People falter not because they lack resources, but because they don’t think or have the courage. Even though we should live with wisdom instead of just hard work, we often labor tirelessly but without insight. This leads to more downfall; it feels like choosing to perish. Doing our best doesn’t equate to merely working hard. We strive for achievement yet work diligently without being wise. Consequently, we find ourselves falling again. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The ‘halo effect’ refers to the error of evaluating a person based solely on one strength. This mistake arises from our human tendency to see only what we want to see and to know only what we wish to know. People often regret choosing a smart but uncommitted individual once they realize they were attracted to that person’s intelligence after bringing them onto the team, ultimately leading to the wrong choice. This is an easy mistake to make, especially when the chosen person’s ability is particularly remarkable. When erroneous human resource decisions occur, businesses can fail. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If being happy doesn’t depend on intelligence or wealth, what truly brings happiness to people? I believe that “knowing how to find satisfaction” and “knowing how to enjoy life” are essential for happiness. While having more or less can play a role, it isn’t the sole determinant. What matters most is finding a sense of satisfaction that resonates with your circumstances. Genuine education should prioritize teaching individuals how to find joy and contentment before focusing on the pursuit of achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truly intelligent individual embraces new perspectives, information, ideas, contradictions, and challenges to existing beliefs. If you lack a foundational understanding despite having extensive knowledge, this knowledge may lead to misunderstandings or an inability to connect concepts, ultimately reinforcing stubbornness. As assumptions, facts, and circumstances evolve, it is prudent to adapt swiftly. This quality is known as “Intellectual Humility.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Although the ratios differ, human success results from many factors such as intelligence, experience, knowledge, attitude, integrity, and luck. Of these, self-development theory emphasizes only a few factors with a powerful influence. As in all cases, the causes of success are different. So when learning success stories, you need to know the pitfalls. It may be like a successful person, but it never becomes the same. References should be made, however, to suit my situation. Therefore, it is important to know your identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We often find that the more intelligent people are critical of the world. However, a wise person does not use their superior abilities to blame others but to help others. When used foolishly, superior abilities can harm the world; when used wisely, they can help the world. Superior intelligence should not be judged by the extent or depth of its knowledge, but by the fruit it produces. Most of the world's abilities are judged by the value of their use rather than their effectiveness of utilization. A tree should be evaluated by its fruit, not its roots or trunk. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
