Just my thoughts #0536

To concentrate, you must first give up. The choice lies in setting priorities, and to overcome the limits of concentration, you must boldly let go of things of low importance according to those priorities. Greed hinders the act of giving up. Not giving up is not merely about intelligence; it involves morality, values, and a person’s character. This is also why human beings do not succeed based on knowledge alone. Even if you decide to give up, concentration exists in another dimension. Choosing something means also giving up or rejecting something else. At this juncture, a value exchange occurs between what is chosen and what is discarded. Thus, our greed is linked to comparative values. The next choice and abandonment depend on the values I already possess. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Originally, the Louis Vuitton suitcase had no wheels. The ancient journey was the exclusive possession of the nobility and the rich. It was hard to go alone because there was a lot of luggage to travel with, so it was usually possible for people who could handle servants. Therefore, there was no need for wheels in the bag then. Popularized travel is a product of the late 20th century. When we look at the wheel of a suitcase, we have to be able to look at history and class together. And we should be able to see the essence of luxury goods. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
