Small Fun: Although not essential, small fun helps prevent corruption and depravity, and keeps greed in check. In fact, the key to controlling greed isn’t moderation, but small fun itself. However, if that small fun ever disappears—leaving you bored or unmotivated—it’s important to take time for self-reflection. While big fun doesn’t last long and can actually fuel greed, by contrast, small fun supports steady effort and offers you time to reflect leisurely. Therefore, to live a happy life, we must find some small fun. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Feeling fear often can lead someone with a strong will to try to compensate for their weaknesses or prevent dangers. However, if that person is also smart, they may easily overcompensate. In worldly affairs, change and wealth arise from taking action, not merely from thought. If people experience a lot of fear and are both strong-willed and intelligent, they are more likely to become poor. This happens because they might believe they can achieve their goals through only thinking instead of taking further action. What these individuals often overlook is the value of time, which money cannot buy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We express our attitudes and thoughts through words. Words can also influence our thinking. Choosing and using words that suit the situation helps prevent misunderstandings and fosters relationships. Even those who wake up on the brink of death in a coma do not easily change the words they have been using. Words shape a person, and the person reflects their words. A good way to check and monitor yourself is to write, even if you’re not a professional writer. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

"Metacognition" refers to thinking about a thought. It is the ability to rethink one's thoughts. So if you are good at metacognition, you can objectify your thoughts. In the "Dunning-Kruger Effect," we can confirm the importance of metacognition. The two scientists proved that the more incompetent people were, the less they perceived their incompetence. Conversely, competent people recognized what they didn't know and were confident about the state of what they did know. All improvement begins with identifying what I don't know. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
