Only when there is a surplus can new things be created. Surplus means having more than what is necessary. Creating something new requires an initial investment in advance. Whether it’s labor or capital—that is, whether labor is purchased with capital—energy can only be used for new work if there is a surplus. Only with prior investment can something entirely new, never seen before, be made. The existence of something that did not exist before in this world results from someone putting in their surplus first. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
If our daily diligence is repeated and accumulated, there is a huge difference between doing and not doing. If 0.99% of my effort and 0.01% of luck, achievement by the effort will be prominent, but also we cannot ignore the result with the achievement taken from luck. There are so many reasons that we must be modest after achieving our goals. Even so small and trivial, continuously repeating our diligence day by day, our lives should be changed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
