As Voltaire said, “History never repeats itself; man always does.” Many interpret this saying differently, but the core message that human behavior is hard to change is clear. Since humans cannot predict the future, they can only forecast it based on past experiences. That’s the best way to anticipate what’s ahead. The current economic and financial landscape is driven by irrational human behavior that remains constant. It is not based on <hard skills> like investment techniques or mathematical formulas but on <soft skills> such as emotions, psychological reactions, and attitudes. Understanding humans helps us understand the world. Therefore, history and the humanities play a significant role in wealth building. However, it takes just a few soft skills to accumulate wealth, and ultimately, human actions shape a person’s destiny. In wealth building, soft skills and behavior matter more than grand theories or knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In mathematics , a state without contradictions is defined as ‘true,’ and in morality , it is called ‘good.’ However, in management and politics , contradiction is used by organizations and the public to control or to win or lose the hearts of people. In other words, contradiction is the criterion that defines the state in the conceptual world , but it is a tool that determines the state in the real world . Therefore, contradiction is a problem to be solved when defined as an idea, but when acted upon, it is the center of balance that sets the order between contradiction and truth and rebalances the relationship where more importance should be placed. Contradiction is a divine device that prevents human beings from being arrogant. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
