Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One characteristic of the wealthy individuals I have met so far is that they complete their work on time, rather than merely finishing tasks by the deadline. Being on time for a task involves calculating the necessary amount of time in advance based on the task’s size and nature, then striving to complete it within that timeframe. In contrast, finishing work at the last minute means postponing tasks until the deadline looms. The habit of delaying work is referred to as ‘ procrastination ’ in psychology; it’s associated with perfectionism or the tendency to derive greater satisfaction from concentrating energy on tasks as the deadline approaches. Anxiety underlies this behavior, and it proves to be entirely counterproductive in any case. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
