“I can live well alone!” is not correct. If I live alone, I can survive to some extent, but ultimately, it is hard to survive, and “living well” is even more challenging. This is because the economic principle is established not by ‘alone’ but by ‘many people.’ If I live well, it means that someone has become poor because of me or is living well with me. The fact that through value exchange, or transaction, we can meet each other’s needs and store the surplus from that production is both true and real. Trading is not done in isolation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Imagination and creativity are different concepts. A dream of flying exemplifies imagination, whereas building an airplane to fly embodies creativity. The original driving force behind creativity is imagination, but creativity is trying to combine, connect, and try several elements in reality. If you try, you may feel frustrated, but the resilience to attempt again, even after failure, originates from your imagination. Together, these two concepts transform and evolve the world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

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”

Humans are bound by their experiences. The extent and depth of these experiences shape how time is perceived by individuals. Recognition occurs within a person’s unique time framework, which is distinct from physical time. Even sharing the same age, individuals experience time differently. In the absence of challenges, the scope of one’s experiences remains constrained, leading to a limited perception of time. Imagination draws from experience, broadening only through facing challenges and making attempts. Observing and immersing oneself in various experiences, such as travel, becomes valuable forms of learning that don’t require a teacher. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
