Making money and avoiding losing it are two different things. There is no guarantee that you won’t lose the money you’ve gained just because you make money well. Wealth can’t be achieved unless it’s supported by the right attitude toward money, proper management principles, and the psychological mindset and self-control suitable for the situation. You can gain some wealth through your skills and abilities, but this is less about being wealthy and more about your psychology, attitude toward money, and worldview. Therefore, being smart doesn’t necessarily make you rich. Most importantly, you need to have a clear understanding of your own identity. - 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”
