If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

To prevent the boat from overturning when a large wave approaches, the bow should face the front of the wave. If you confront a big wave from the side, there is a high probability that the boat will capsize. Navigating life’s crises is akin to a ship facing the waves. One should confront them rather than dodge or avoid. Of course, even the ship’s direction is ineffective when dealing with waves that are too large. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some people consider “what I have” to be “property,” like “money.” In other words, “All of Mine” = [All my things] - [All I have inherited] - [All I have received as gifts] - [All of the others] - [All I have stolen]. By the way, while there is wealth among [mine], temperament and ability are also crucial resources, in addition to properties such as talent, networks, sincerity, perseverance, attitude, intimacy, determination, courage, wit, and wisdom. Escaping crises and fostering development must begin with “All of Mine.” The success and progress made by [All of the others] is an illusion. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truly great leader does not believe he is perfect, nor does he need to be. In fact, recognizing his imperfections allows him to connect with others and fosters humility, which helps him collaborate effectively with colleagues. Rather than achieving remarkable successes alone within the organization, a leader who strives to thrive alongside his team— even if progress is slower— cultivates a more cohesive organization. Ultimately, this approach strengthens the organizational culture, empowering it to withstand crises. People cannot excel at everything, nor do they need to. Recognizing this reality is a key aspect of effective leadership. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
