People say that to succeed, you have to break the frame. But how do you break the frame when you’ve never been locked inside one? Instead, words and actions should be confined within the framework of ‘consistency’ so that the beginning and the end match, earning trust from others. A person grows only when small, essential parts of daily routines are kept within the frame of ‘repetition (routine)’ and the rest are prioritized accordingly. Confining yourself to a specific frame means earning trust through consistency, being recognized for dignity, and developing a routine. This is the process of proving your existence in society. Only after being confined within a frame can you break the big one, elevating life to a new level. That is truly breaking the frame. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There’s a saying that after a flood, no water is left to drink. Those who see this as a metaphor grasp that it signifies that “usefulness” outweighs “quantity.” In contrast, literal interpreters might invest in stocks for “mineral water” due to an anticipated rise in demand for bottled water post-flood. This illustrates how interpretation and action can diverge significantly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Diamonds are useless but expensive. At best, the usefulness of diamonds is just a hardness. There are many beautiful colored gems other than diamonds in the world. Paradoxically, diamonds are worth more because they are useless. A way for the rich to show off their wealth is to show that even if it is futile, they can pay for what others cannot. It is not the only value that is useful in the world. Value purely comes from a human. Focus on how human needs arise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
