The scariest customers in the world are regulars, not picky or complaining customers. Regulars pay a fair price. However, there is no such thing as ‘natural’ in the world. When regulars change their minds, not only do businesses suffer significant financial damage, but they also suffer emotionally. There are traps in naturalness, seeds of failure, and wounds caused by conceit. The older and closer people are, the more cautious you should be. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The ‘halo effect’ refers to the error of evaluating a person based solely on one strength. This mistake arises from our human tendency to see only what we want to see and to know only what we wish to know. People often regret choosing a smart but uncommitted individual once they realize they were attracted to that person’s intelligence after bringing them onto the team, ultimately leading to the wrong choice. This is an easy mistake to make, especially when the chosen person’s ability is particularly remarkable. When erroneous human resource decisions occur, businesses can fail. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A smart guy? Oh, I'm not. A brilliant guy knows himself/herself well. Knowing what to want and what not to want, what to like and what not to like, what to know and what not to know, what you have to do and what you should not do, is knowing myself. But I don't know much about myself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
