Survival is true success. No matter how successful you are, you can’t grasp the fruit with your hands if you can’t survive, and survival itself results from choosing excellence—something no one can fully attain. Of course, luck also plays a role in survival. So, survival is never easy. During tough times, these words of wisdom can help: “This too shall pass.” But we also need to prepare for what to do once that “passing time” has truly gone by. When you succeed, remember, “This too shall pass.” Whether it’s good fortune or disaster, success or failure, you should see all of these as just “processes.” However, if you see them as “conclusions,” everything is wasted. These attitudes demonstrate why a peaceful mind is the most useful and humility is the most valuable asset. In front of the “process,” everything is a high-variability asset whose value shifts. Even suffering follows the same principle. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In the Bible, David was a shepherd when he ousted the beast with pebbles and a sling, but when he threw stones at the enemy with the same pebbles and sling, he became the king’s son-in-law. The ability and tools are the same, but his life changed completely when the objects and situations of using them changed. The way to escape the crisis depends on the abilities and the ability to grasp the object and situation to which it is applied rather than the replacement or improvement of the skills and tools. Of course, luck is also important. Because luck also creates a situation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
