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”
I believe Maslow’s “Theory of Needs” is a brilliant concept. Humans exhibit different behaviors based on their needs, prioritize satisfaction, and seek fulfillment at higher levels. This theory can also explain why artists often struggle financially. While art is not a necessity for daily life, it is an essential component of a fulfilling existence. However, it holds a high position in the hierarchy of needs, resulting in a small number of very famous artists accumulating substantial wealth within the art market. By analyzing people’s actions based on their needs, one can roughly predict the marketability and sustainability of their professions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
