When individuals who have successfully overcome adversity and achieved social recognition view the world through their ability to conquer personal struggles, challenges emerge. Seeing the experience of overcoming hardships through diligent effort as an opportunity to cultivate genuine self-confidence enhances positive self-esteem. However, evaluating everything in the world solely from that perspective can lead to significant difficulties for both yourself and others. My success may change me, but there are no guaranteed formulas to positively impact the world. Success holds value when it becomes an internal celebration within me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One person gives freely yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (Proverbs 11:24) This is a record from the Old Testament. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement of wastefulness. Wealth is not determined by the amount of income and expenditure but rather by purpose, relationships, and the timing of the purpose-fit-management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
