Future and Attitude : My current attitude toward the future shapes my outlook on it. How I perceive the future influences my actions and mindset now. By analyzing past experiences, I identify patterns that help me compare and validate my expectations and predictions for the future . In other words, the past serves as material for judging the future. Therefore, my judgments and current behavior stem from reflecting on the future I have already envisioned . If I don’t decide on my outlook and attitude toward the future, my present self remains undefined. This is known as ‘CONFLICT.’ Today, an unclear future coexists with past experiences that form specific patterns. Why is time important? Because to exist in the present, both past and future must be simultaneously present. If these two tenses are not reflected now, decision-making stalls , and conflict continues due to its effects. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0105

The Bible's Solomon is called the “king of wisdom”. Solomon did not ask God for wealth and honor, but for “wisdom,” who knows how to rule the people and discern good and evil. This “wisdom” is called “rev showmea (לב שמע)” in the original text. Solving the meaning of this word means “listening mind” or “discerning heart.” Why do you want to hear and discern? To realize and practice. The mind is not seeing. It's to listen. There is no wisdom, wealth, and honor unless we hear and understand a person's heart and then take action.

Compared to the era of a self-sufficient barter economy , everyone’s happiness is greater in the exchange economy , where each person divides their labor into what they do best and exchanges what they produce. This is because the division of labor is more efficient than self-sufficiency in productivity and can further reduce production costs. At this point, a means of exchange agreed upon by society is required, which is called money (currency). In other words, in the exchange economy, specialists who excel in one field are more advantageous for survival than ordinary people. An all-round player is more likely to face starvation. Therefore, a generalist is only advantageous for survival when they can organically integrate their diverse abilities in a specific field or situation, while also managing and restricting the scope of their activities and conditions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The most important aspect of investing is managing risk. However, in most cases, risk management is interpreted and assessed in relation to past patterns. When asset prices fall, the perceived risk appears significant. That doesn’t imply there weren’t risks; investors simply didn’t recognize the risks that originally existed. The level of risk is almost identical whether the price of an asset goes up or down, but when prices decline, they tend to drop further because fear prevents us from purchasing more assets, leading us to retreat. It’s not that the risk has escalated. It is unwise to link risk with past patterns. There have been numerous exceptions in the world, and many beings on this planet have disappeared because they could not adapt. Did dinosaurs not become extinct on Earth ? Exceptions are exceptions because they are unpredictable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0717

At Berkshire Hathaway ’s 2013 shareholders’ meeting, Warren Buffett said, “I’ve owned 400 to 500 companies’ stocks in my lifetime, but only about 10 of them made the most money.” His lifelong friend and investment partner, Charlie Munger , added, “With the exception of some of Berkshire Hathaway’s best investment practices , long-term performance is near-average.” Many people know Warren Buffett’s return on investment better than his mistakes or failures. It’s because of those 10 companies that he succeeded in investing. If there is a positive, there must be a negative. It’s better to prepare a realistic alternative in case you fail than to try to avoid failing. Humans are probabilistic beings . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
