No matter how long you know someone, you can’t truly understand the mind of that person. A person’s values become evident when they face a dilemma—the dilemma of being unable to choose one option over another. Dilemmas arise amid contradictions where logic clashes, and in response to concerns and fears stemming from uncertainty. The conflict of logic and fear reveals the true nature of humanity. The decisions a person makes while overcoming a dilemma ultimately shape who they are. People often say that the totality of our choices defines our lives, and accepting the consequences, whether good or bad, is a reflection of our character. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Kenichi Omae (大前硏一) is a Japanese economist. He confidently asserted that there are only three ways to change our lives: 1. Spending time differently 2. Changing where we live 3. Making new people. Making new decisions is the most meaningless. Doing all three simultaneously is “marriage and divorce” and “changing occupation.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
