Leader: In the book ‘Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,’ written by Jocko Willink, there is a training story where seven Navy SEAL trainees form a team and carry a rubber boat weighing over 100 kg on their heads. Usually, one team would finish first and another last, but the team members stayed the same, and only the leaders were swapped. As a result, the team that finished last moved to first place, and the team that was first became second. What changed was that only the leaders were replaced; the rest of the team remained the same. It’s important to note that, although a leader’s ability greatly influences success, the key point is that the team that was initially first was moved to second place, not last, even though the leader from the last team took over the first team. This is because, under the previous leader, team members developed a winning habit, which persisted even when the leader changed. The most crucial element in an organization is the leader itself....

The founder of the Presbyterian Church, Jean-Calvin, gave the name “vocation (calling)” to the “labor power” people provided to the capitalist. Labor is sacred and destiny.

African lions only take a nap outside of hunting time. “The dog in my house” also plays outside except for walking and eating. Humans who work physically and mentally 24 hours a day even abuse their brains, saying they are lacking. Only when you prove yourself to others do you become yourself indeed. But the time has come for AI and robots to do the work humans value. The opportunity came to be recognized for value, not the ability, but the existence itself. In the future, “Who am I?” will lead to success rather than “What are you doing?” Then, I'm asking, “Who are you?” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Cognitive science states that humans communicate with 30% of "linguistic information" and 70% of "non-linguistic information." Suppose you study something to acquire information, focusing on it with conscious awareness. In that case, any activity you engage in unconsciously throughout your daily life is "playing." It is challenging to maintain focus on a task for an extended period. However, engaging in play adds enjoyment to intellectual pursuits, allowing for sustained attention. Studying in a limited capacity will only make you proficient in specific areas, but play can facilitate a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding. Parents often err by separating study and play, they are two sides of the same coin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
