Tendency: The force that maintains a phenomenon’s movement in a consistent direction. Therefore, as long as this tendency persists, the future can be predicted within certain limits. When tendencies change, so does the future. The surest way to get wealthy is to know the future first. Of course, just knowing the future isn’t enough. Still, it’s clear that those who see the future faster and have a wealth of knowledge will have an advantage in competition. In society, people operate under a common direction that its members agree upon and believe in, and they have the power to maintain that direction. For example, a brief fashion trend, the ongoing rain during the rainy season, or the inertia in physics that keeps an object moving at the same velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Once a force moves in a specific direction, it tends to continue in that direction. By carefully reading trends, you are more likely to build wealth or achieve social success. - Joseph’s “just my tho...

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”

In the 2009 Korean film ‘Castaway on the Moon,’ a character states, “Desire makes humans smarter.” This reflects the protagonist’s ingenuity in creating useful tools from discarded items to survive on a deserted island. While knowledge enhances human understanding, it is desire that turns that knowledge into practical applications. Maslow was among the first to focus on this concept of desire in social science research. Understanding and addressing desires essentially means understanding humanity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
