Just my thoughts #0397

The basis for judging whether a person’s life can truly change lies in observing how someone continues to engage in meaningful activities every day, regularly and consistently. What matters is that the person does not stop doing a lot of work at once, but instead continues steadily every day, even if the efforts are small. Lao-tzu said, “Nature doesn’t rush. But it has been accomplishing everything.” If you want to be healthy, you can engage in small but consistent exercise each day. If you want to build wealth, you can pursue small production and investment activities daily. If you want to be smart, you can read or study even a small amount each day. Life consists of both simple-interest life and compound-interest life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Need and desire are distinct concepts. Instagram serves to fulfill desires rather than needs. For example, saying “I want to eat because I’m hungry” illustrates a “need,” whereas “I’m hungry, so I want a beautiful table setting for the family meal from my mom” depicts a “desire.” If you cannot differentiate between these two ideas and grasp their fundamental meanings, consider stepping away from Instagram for marketing purposes. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Years of research by cognitive psychologists indicate that creative individuals are influenced more by situational factors than by their inherent talent. Essentially, being able to navigate a creative context is more crucial than possessing creative skills. Creativity does not exist in isolation; it is shaped by the surrounding environment and context. People are influenced more by their circumstances than by personal abilities. To reach their objectives, individuals must understand the necessary tools and techniques. However, concentrating solely on these tools can lead to a loss of perspective on the ultimate goals. Establishing clear goals can transform the environment and context in which one operates. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the Bible, David was a shepherd when he ousted the beast with pebbles and a sling, but when he threw stones at the enemy with the same pebbles and sling, he became the king’s son-in-law. The ability and tools are the same, but his life changed completely when the objects and situations of using them changed. The way to escape the crisis depends on the abilities and the ability to grasp the object and situation to which it is applied rather than the replacement or improvement of the skills and tools. Of course, luck is also important. Because luck also creates a situation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
