Just my thoughts #0638

Marathon runners rarely smile before, during, or after the race and usually have a very serious expression. If there were aliens, everyone who participated in the marathon might be considered a criminal because they don’t look happy. Humans think they only enjoy happy and joyful work and avoid hard, painful work, but in reality, human motivation is more complex. Even if something is hard and painful, it’s not as simple as just participating in marathons. Humans do not act solely based on joy and happiness. If humans can find meaning in life and experience progress even when it’s difficult, they are willing to do it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0074

We often find that the more intelligent people are critical of the world. However, a wise person does not use their superior abilities to blame others but to help others. When used foolishly, superior abilities can harm the world; when used wisely, they can help the world. Superior intelligence should not be judged by the extent or depth of its knowledge, but by the fruit it produces. Most of the world's abilities are judged by the value of their use rather than their effectiveness of utilization. A tree should be evaluated by its fruit, not its roots or trunk. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
