Remembering something is not the same as knowing it. Just because you remember a lot doesn’t mean you know a lot. To ‘know’ means to grasp things and phenomena in relation to one another by separating and removing unnecessary or unimportant details, which allows the essence and core to be easily discerned. Furthermore, by embodying that knowledge and information through experience, the essence and core can be freely applied in any situation, providing a perspective that can be easily explained to others. Knowing in relationships and situations is called ‘understanding,’ while realizing the essence and core of yourself is referred to as ‘awakening.’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The world is structured so that when individuals can’t fulfill their needs alone, they each contribute their strengths. In essence, professionalism stems from choice, focus, and persistence. Highly talented individuals often face numerous internal barriers while striving to develop these qualities. This is the curse of talent, caused by the wide variety of available choices. When one engages in diverse activities and achieves success, rejection takes precedence over choice. Varied talents serve as the primary fuel for conflict. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
