When individuals who have successfully overcome adversity and achieved social recognition view the world through their ability to conquer personal struggles, challenges emerge. Seeing the experience of overcoming hardships through diligent effort as an opportunity to cultivate genuine self-confidence enhances positive self-esteem. However, evaluating everything in the world solely from that perspective can lead to significant difficulties for both yourself and others. My success may change me, but there are no guaranteed formulas to positively impact the world. Success holds value when it becomes an internal celebration within me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Years of research by cognitive psychologists indicate that creative individuals are influenced more by situational factors than by their inherent talent. Essentially, being able to navigate a creative context is more crucial than possessing creative skills. Creativity does not exist in isolation; it is shaped by the surrounding environment and context. People are influenced more by their circumstances than by personal abilities. To reach their objectives, individuals must understand the necessary tools and techniques. However, concentrating solely on these tools can lead to a loss of perspective on the ultimate goals. Establishing clear goals can transform the environment and context in which one operates. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
