If we don’t have something, we often think we don’t have it at all. However, even when we possess nothing, we fail to check if someone around us has something, and we simply give up. If someone nearby lacks it, we give up immediately. We struggle to identify the next person around us, don’t inquire about introductions, and we lack the courage to reach out. In difficult situations, we see only the fact that we have nothing substantial and can’t contemplate anything beyond that. No, we don’t even attempt to change our mindset. People falter not because they lack resources, but because they don’t think or have the courage. Even though we should live with wisdom instead of just hard work, we often labor tirelessly but without insight. This leads to more downfall; it feels like choosing to perish. Doing our best doesn’t equate to merely working hard. We strive for achievement yet work diligently without being wise. Consequently, we find ourselves falling again. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In Japanese cuisine, sushi omakase is an approach where patrons rely on the chef’s curated menu and follow the sequence of courses without making personal selections. Since diners don’t choose their dishes, the chef must ensure that the flavors and quality of the ingredients are top-notch. A failure to meet diners’ expectations can spoil the experience of a wonderful meal. This process hinges on the chef’s confidence and the patrons’ trust. While the chef’s skills are crucial, they must also consider the diners’ eating habits, including their pace and frequency of intake, to create a pleasurable dining experience. Ultimately, successful commerce rests on mutual satisfaction, but it can only thrive if the recipients are truly content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
