If only interest is applied to the principal, it is ‘simple interest,’ and if interest is applied to the principal including former interest, it is ‘compound interest.’ There are people who make money through simple interest and through compound interest. The same goes for spending money. The difference between simple interest and compound interest can create an unimaginable impact over time. Time is treated fairly for everyone, but if compound interest intervenes in the uniform application of time, the results of compound interest will vary greatly, even after the same duration has passed. Being poor also has a cost, which is paid by compound interest. If you want to be wealthy, you must earn compound interest, not simple interest. The best way to achieve this continuously is to engage in small but regular actions every day, whether it’s investing in stocks or acquiring knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Years of research by cognitive psychologists indicate that creative individuals are influenced more by situational factors than by their inherent talent. Essentially, being able to navigate a creative context is more crucial than possessing creative skills. Creativity does not exist in isolation; it is shaped by the surrounding environment and context. People are influenced more by their circumstances than by personal abilities. To reach their objectives, individuals must understand the necessary tools and techniques. However, concentrating solely on these tools can lead to a loss of perspective on the ultimate goals. Establishing clear goals can transform the environment and context in which one operates. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
