What in this world isn’t influenced by politics? Politics shapes art and media alike. It involves governing the world and making decisions that determine the future. Art is a product of that influence. Works of art, media messages, and knowledge recorded in books reflect the spirit of the times and offer clues about what’s ahead. Investing is a risky venture in an uncertain future. Therefore, the ability to appreciate artworks and interpret media messages is a vital skill for professionals in investment. Someone who ignores the arts, the progress of knowledge, and the flow of media messages is unlikely to make wise investments. Loving art purely to gain wealth isn’t ideal, but having a passion for art can help you recognize opportunities for wealth more quickly and sensitively than others, making a life close to art a truly fortunate one. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Some leaders find relief only when they dominate the mind, while others serve as limbs. They seek to facilitate threats and collaboration with others to bolster their sense of security. Some of them resort to “gaslighting,” manipulating circumstances to create doubt and maintain control. They view their micromanagement as a notable strength, caring for even the most minor details. Working alongside such a person can reduce even the most capable individuals to feeling foolish and diminish their self-esteem. Unbeknownst to them, those around them are suffocating. The desire to conform is often mistaken for loyalty. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
