Just My Thoughts Ebooks

What if we jotted down the fleeting sparks of inspiration that come our way each day? That question inspired me to start recording a note every day. Over time, I collected 834 entries and shared them on social media. I turned the notes into one-minute whiteboard animations, organized them by theme, and refined them into a collection of short questions and thought-provoking content. The result is a series of five books, now available in EPUB format. You can order them through the Amazon Kindle Store link in my profile. * JUST MY THOUGHTS Series: JUST MY THOUGHTS: 100 Observations on Value, Wealth, Business, and Life JUST MY THOUGHTS: 100 Observations on People, Feelings, and Everyday Life JUST MY THOUGHTS: 100 Observations on Work, Business, and Making Things Useful JUST MY THOUGHTS: 100 Observations on Money, Choices, and Uncertainty JUST MY THOUGHTS: 100 Observations on Observation, Ideas, and a Changing World * Release Date: Oct. 28th, 2026 * Amazon Kindle EBook Store https://www.ama...

There are ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ things in the world, but many situations exist where actions can be seen as either right or wrong depending on the circumstances and outcomes. Often, when choosing a job, talent and aptitude play a significant role. It is commonly believed that if you have a job that aligns with your talents and aptitudes, you are more likely to achieve success or happiness. However, if you choose a job that matches your talents and aptitude, is success guaranteed, or is it truly rewarding? Conversely, it’s also possible to attain a certain level of achievement through consistent practice and effort, even if your talent isn’t as strong as others and your aptitudes aren’t quite right. The dilemma of choosing between the two stems from the regrets that linger over time and the pursuit of success. Individuals worry about whether they can satisfy their desire for success. There is a path to finding joy when aptitude fuels motivation to learn and leads to results. Nevertheless, many instances in the world demonstrate that joy can stem from learning, even without a natural aptitude, and small achievements can arise from effort alone. Basketball player Michael Jordan did it.

There are two primary approaches to creating something: bottom-up design and top-down design . Top-down design is often seen in architecture. People do not build bricks randomly; instead, they follow the design drawings created by the architect. This method executes a plan that has already been established. When asked why something is built in a certain way, the answer is usually that the blueprint dictates its design. Conversely, bottom-up design does not start with a fixed goal, but rather involves setting and implementing small, actionable rules. For example, termite nests follow this approach. Small termites have a simple rule: to pile up soil. They do this without knowing the reason, but over time, the finished structure is remarkable and sophisticated. The appearance of the Sagrada Familia church , designed by Antoni Gaudí and still under construction, closely resembles a termite nest, differing only in size. Setting goals and planning is one way to create, but actual achievem...

What Truly Moves This World: Ostensibly, politics drives the world. But in reality, war, religion, and slavery are the true forces behind it. War redefines core values and shifts the balance of power in society. Naturally, power also plays a role. Even though the Roman Empire fell, the Christian Church has lasted over 2,000 years. Religion always exceeds politics. No slavery now? Even without an explicit system, slave-like traits and statuses still exist across society. Maybe this won’t disappear until the end of the world. War, religion, and slavery are fundamental to these economic systems and monetary policies . The flow of money and changes in the economic system can be understood through these three forces. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Compound Interest : Interest added to the original principal and its accumulated interest. Even if an asset’s price is too high or too low, it eventually converges to the market average . In fact, even with significant price volatility , it is only a matter of time before it aligns with the market average. However, there are occasions where it surpasses this average, and that’s when compounding becomes influential. Market prices reflect the actions of participants and the economic environment affecting their prices. Although sometimes distorted, they eventually revert to prices implicitly agreed upon by participants. But compound interest is a system specifically designed to outperform this market average. Interest can be monetary, but it can also be other economic effects or energy . By understanding and harnessing the power of compound interest , we can gain a significant advantage in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
