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.

The reorientation and expansion of a business should be planned and decided in terms of customer synergies, not company synergies. It may be more successful to offer a customer who buys apple jam an extra slice of bread to spread it on than to provide a customer who buys apple jam an extra jar of peach jam. It's easier for the jam seller to give away an extra jar of jam, but for the customer, the bread is more valuable than the jam. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
