We don’t care about money deposited in the bank. If we ask the bank for money, I believe they will certainly return my funds. However, as shown by Lehman Brothers ’ bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis, banks cannot guarantee 100% of depositors’ money. In South Korea, according to the Depositor Protection Act, only 100 million won (about USD 71,000) is protected, including principal and interest per person. Anything beyond that is actually at risk. In other words, money deposited in the bank is vulnerable to losing the principal. Investing means willingly accepting the risk of losing the principal while seeking profit. Whether we like it or not, we are always investing in our daily lives. Just because a risk doesn’t materialize doesn’t mean it’s gone. - 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”
