Reading many books is important, but how you interpret what you read matters more. The ability to interpret affects how knowledge is applied in real life, making a big difference. Experiences and circumstances heavily influence interpretation, but imagination is fundamentally crucial. Even if you see the same thing in an imagined experience, the interpretations can vary greatly, and what drives action in reality also differs. The skill to connect what we know with new ideas is called creativity, but the way we make these connections comes from imagined experiences. Imagine in your own way! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In his book Rhetoric, Aristotle identifies three conditions for the persuasion of people: ethos, pathos, and logos. Simply put, ethos is the inherent character of the persuader. Pathos is the emotional state of the persuadee, and logos is the logic of the persuader. The order of importance is ethos, pathos, and logos. If you want to be an influencer, define your identity, nurture yourself, and listen to your reputation, which is 60% and the psychological state of the listener is 30%. Therefore, who and what you are is the most important thing, and the timing synchronized with the psychological state of the persuadee is the second. However, the inferior people are more obsessed with logic and are more convinced. They define people and judge the world based on whether someone is right or wrong. Then they will continue to live a life of 10% inferiors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
