If God granted me only one ability to become wealthy, I would not hesitate to ask for the skill of ‘storytelling.’ ‘Storytelling’ is the ability to choose how to interpret the same phenomenon or fact and how to communicate the message I want to convey persuasively. Ultimately, the world takes sides and gains support through the interpretation and explanation of stories. Gaining attention and support from people is the foundation for achieving a lot from nothing. In a time when there was no modern media, the most popular people were grandmothers and grandfathers who could tell entertaining oral stories every night before bed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Identifying my existence prompts the question: how can I prove it? We can define existence in biological terms, but first, we must approach it philosophically. This is achieved through the concept of a “statement.” The expressions “I am OO” or “you are OO” serve as philosophical assertions rather than scientific proof. If we dismiss the significance and authority of these statements, we encounter numerous problems and discomfort, as they lead me to doubt everyone I encounter. Statements are the fundamental components of a narrative. They delineate existence, with definitions articulated through sentences that create the story’s context. This entire framework is referred to as a “narrative.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
