If you’re alone on an uninhabited island, you don’t need money; you only need resources and labor to process those resources for survival. In other words, there’s no need for an exchange-based economy. The exchange of goods led to the development of an economic system that dramatically increases efficiency and productivity. The monetary system was created because society consists of many people living together. To facilitate exchange, value had to be measured, and a price assigned to that value. The foundation of wealth is built on production and exchange. We all rely on others to survive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the 18th century, when the sun went down, people slept except for the rich man who could afford a candle. Humans lived in harmony with the natural rhythm. When machines created an industrial society and replaced human labor, people did not reduce their work but instead operated according to the machine’s working cycle. Charlie Chaplin criticized this phenomenon in his movie “Modern Times,” highlighting how mechanization forces humans to work with unprecedented intensity. Now, humans are concerned that artificial intelligence and robotic automation will diminish labor and lead to unemployment. What a contradiction! Rest is not an automatic benefit; it is a holy declaration of war that I must strive to achieve, not to disturb my rest on purpose. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

What does it mean to be good at work? First, you need to understand your priorities well. Priorities are shaped by self-worth and circumstances. The priority is to have empathy, even when there isn’t a clear correct answer. In this world, there’s a correct path that most people acknowledge. It reflects the common values that humanity has agreed upon over time. Second, you need to identify the key point. The point is that even if you eliminate other factors, you should never remove them. Third, everything must align with your purpose. There’s a reason behind everything you do. And finally, you must maintain trust. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Most individuals are unaware of the balance between “physical work” and “emotional work” in their roles. “Beginners” are those who are compensated solely for physical work, while “mediums” earn for both physical and emotional contributions. “Masters,” on the other hand, receive higher pay for emotional work compared to physical tasks. Without the ability to assign a price to the value of your emotions, you will inevitably remain at a low added value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
