Common means relatively few limits. Therefore, the common items should be inexpensive—for example, air. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it lacks value. It simply signifies a lower price. Just because it’s almost free doesn’t mean it’s without merit. The sector a product belongs to affects the profitable connection between value and price. Daily necessities are inexpensive because they are common, but they hold significant value. If the imbalance between value and price exceeds the risks of an exchange opportunity, a profit is generated. If you capitalize on this opportunity and take a risk to purchase the imbalance, it is referred to as an investment. Opportunities always arise from imbalance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Understanding what one belongs to is knowledge derived from personal experience. In fact, the experiences of others can provide a more accurate understanding of your place in the world. A third-party perspective is crucial for problem-solving. The viewpoint and position of an outsider, rather than my own, enable me to comprehend my situation most objectively. A solution lacking objectivity is likely to lead to the repetition of problems and may render them unsolvable forever. When I ascend the mountain and gaze down at the town I live in, I notice things I’ve never seen before. Significant progress occurs when a third-party perspective is applied. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The scariest people in the world are those who truly know themselves. It may sound easy, but few understand what they excel at and what they prefer. The same goes for occupations. Someone may seem to know their job well, yet they might not fully grasp what they’re doing. What potential exists—whether the job is suitable for the times, if you’ve chosen the wrong market, or who the right partner is for you? The fact that many rarely start by understanding themselves means they often spend time without gaining much insight, even as they struggle hard. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the 2009 Korean film ‘Castaway on the Moon,’ a character states, “Desire makes humans smarter.” This reflects the protagonist’s ingenuity in creating useful tools from discarded items to survive on a deserted island. While knowledge enhances human understanding, it is desire that turns that knowledge into practical applications. Maslow was among the first to focus on this concept of desire in social science research. Understanding and addressing desires essentially means understanding humanity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truly intelligent individual embraces new perspectives, information, ideas, contradictions, and challenges to existing beliefs. If you lack a foundational understanding despite having extensive knowledge, this knowledge may lead to misunderstandings or an inability to connect concepts, ultimately reinforcing stubbornness. As assumptions, facts, and circumstances evolve, it is prudent to adapt swiftly. This quality is known as “Intellectual Humility.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When you bleed, the blood comes into contact with the air, it changes from a liquid to a jelly, and then from a jelly to a solid scab. This inherent property of a substance is called its "physical property". If the properties of blood do not change from liquid to jelly and then to solid, people will die from excessive bleeding to death. Thus, physical properties are quite important to our life phenomena. The properties are almost everything in the business of food and chemical products. We can do our business although without an understanding of the properties. But if we cannot understand, or do overlook them, even a coffee shop can't expect to win the competition. So start by understanding the properties. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
