Don’t let a salesperson collect sales money, as it can lead to corruption. While corruption involves the human mind, the structure is more important. If a salesperson is trying to increase their salary by improving their performance, they may resort to hiding unfavorable payment terms. However, a salesperson can hardly succeed if sales and money collection are separated. Do not leave fish to cats. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A balloon will pop when placed atop a single pointed needle. However, if you drive the needle with multiple thumbtacks arranged like a rug, the balloon won’t burst. This illustrates that the impact of sharpness can depend on context. Even if we face inner turmoil, the way we position our challenges and the situations we create can transform those difficulties into connections rather than sources of pain. The key lies in how we manage the distribution of sharpness rather than the sharpness itself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
