Core Values and Efficiency: Talented people often face financial struggles. If you live alone, being talented can be a significant advantage in terms of survival. However, in the real world, you usually live with others; therefore, it’s more effective to focus on your core values. In other words, investing time in things outside your core values is a waste. Even if you’re better at something than others, you’re more likely to succeed by ignoring it and focusing on your main strengths because time is limited. For example, being skilled at investing and introducing investors to other companies are two different tasks. To prioritize your core values, you need to clearly define your identity and confidently reject offers that do not align with them. There’s an apparent reason why we often hesitate to act, even when we are skilled at what we do. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Human activity was limited when the world paused due to the pandemic, and interactions plummeted. People openly admitted that they were struggling financially. Wealth creation is the core purpose of an economy. Wealth is created through exchange. Exchange is the only way wealth is created. Things are only priced through an exchange. The pandemic has irrefutably demonstrated that activity fosters exchange. If you want to gain wealth, you must be active. Even if you're not dynamically active, you must be statically active. Keep being active! Never stand still! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
