Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Individuals believe that “information” translates to money in the online world, but “attention” actually leads to significant financial gains. Without capturing people’s attention, online information is merely useful but may struggle to generate revenue. Attention operates under a system where the winner takes all (a principle where 80% of results are dominated by 20% of players). Even so, winning once does not guarantee lasting benefits, and to sustain that monopoly, attention must be tied to reputation, as well as good fame. However, attention is a limited resource. It is like a mother who cannot give equal attention to all her children, even if she loves them equally. Thus, choice and focus enhance attention. It’s not information; it’s attention. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The world is structured so that when individuals can’t fulfill their needs alone, they each contribute their strengths. In essence, professionalism stems from choice, focus, and persistence. Highly talented individuals often face numerous internal barriers while striving to develop these qualities. This is the curse of talent, caused by the wide variety of available choices. When one engages in diverse activities and achieves success, rejection takes precedence over choice. Varied talents serve as the primary fuel for conflict. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It is called “fate” that the choice is not given. Choosing in the hope of good results is called “effort,” and the process of paying the price for even bad results come out is called “responsibility.” No matter how valuable your efforts and responsibilities are, they are all worthless without “fate” as the background of your choice. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Living hard means saying when you are on the right track. Getting out of the way is the right answer if you've taken the wrong way. And you will live harder in the right way you choose again. Life is a choice before hard work. But most people try to win the choice with effort. In other words, this is called “hardship”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Management is all about maximizing productivity in a limited amount of time. There are limits to what can be achieved regarding time and productivity gains. Let me be clear: increasing efficiency to improve productivity is not a significant factor in building wealth. The best way to build wealth is to choose and implement a higher value-added job. In other words, management is a matter of choice before effort. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Human behavior and psychology are tricky and complex. If you ask someone who prefers short-term gains, “Would you like to get $1,000 now or $1,020 a year from now,” the person will choose the former. However, if you change the question, “Would you like to get $1,000 in 10 years or $1,020 in 11 years,” people will choose the latter. The taking of time and possessiveness are even under the same conditions, they make different choices. These two dominate the human personality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The poorer persons are, the more likely they are to consider the system they are in, not their abilities or character. The poor are more likely to choose to live in ways that make them poorer. It's not because they're stupid, it's because the system they're in leads them to make those choices. Rutker Bregman, a Dutch historian and author, says that everyone is forced to make such decisions when they are placed in this environment. The way out of this system is to change your worldview. Poverty is a state of being, not an outcome. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
