Connection Trap: Derivation differs from the original. Let’s say you’ve uncovered the secrets to investing in stocks and made a fortune. The secret you hold is valuable, but if you publish a book about those secrets and spend time giving lectures and counseling to teach others, it becomes difficult to concentrate on your main job—investing in stocks. Investments, publications, lectures, and consultations all revolve around the theme of “stocks” and are linked by a single story; however, each has its own distinct features. Expanding your work isn’t easy. Adding another item to a restaurant menu creates additional problems. We think that time is limited, but often we fail to use it wisely. It’s a miracle we don’t fail while spending time as if consuming water. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When farming, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t rain, but if it rains just twice a year, it ruins the farm. If it rains heavily, it causes a flood; if it doesn’t rain for a long time, it leads to drought. Regularity is a crucial habit that enriches our lives. So is money. Money that comes in regularly every month is more valuable than money that arrives all at once. A small but consistent action taken every day can radically change your life. However, the reason this is hard for us is that the effect must accumulate over a certain period before you can feel a significant difference. Patience accomplishes very valuable things that money cannot achieve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
