An asset is the foundation of all economic activity. If you have assets, you can run a business and settle your debts. The ways to create assets are ‘how one works,’ ‘how to receive gifts from others,’ and ‘how to purchase assets made by others.’ There is a way to steal, but it is a crime. If you don’t initially own an asset, the simplest and almost the only way to create one is to produce something with your own labor. Whether the product is a service or a good, it must be produced unconditionally. Trading products creates added value. Thinking about trading later and making products first is the fastest and most basic way to escape poverty. Therefore, produce even the smallest things every day. Knowledge, records, art—whatever! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some people live because of ‘doubt,’ others because of ‘confidence,’ and some because of ‘guess.’ Often, people make a living based on the positive factors we think of, but the opposite is also true. In fact, there are instances where positive factors threaten livelihood . Some people thrive on accuracy and certainty , while many live amid the unsettled and uncertain . The world is not always bright. There are many different ways to live and principles to follow. What do I do for a living? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Fear and doubt are brothers from the same root. They are born together from the root of trust and gnaw away at peace and audacity . Fear is the outward emotional expression of doubt, and it is the fuel that energizes doubts to grow. Doubt feeds on your fear and helps keep it from being set aside. In other words, between doubt and fear, the counterweight of ego serves as the center of gravity. If pride weighs down doubts, it blames others; if it weighs down fears, it finds justifiable reasons and surrenders will. A state in which pride is precisely balanced between doubt and fear is called conflict. So, although conflict intentionally seems to be polite to others, emotionally, it constantly forces them to engage in self-defense against regret in advance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Every day, I examine the world map. When I zoom in, the map reveals a world I have yet to discover. There are countless unknown places on this planet that I have not experienced. By observing the geography, countries, and attractions, I can learn about history and broaden my perspective on the world. Looking at the map prompts me to reconsider space, time, and culture. For instance, in the Bering Strait, Big Diomede Island belongs to Russia, while Little Diomede Island is part of the United States, and the distance between them is only 3.7 kilometers. The International Date Line passes between these two islands. Even if we were to cross the distance by ship, it would take about 9 minutes at a speed of 15 knots. However, after those 9 minutes, we would find ourselves a full 21 hours behind. This situation illustrates that time is more of a human agreement than a mere physical measurement. Ultimately, learning and personal development are fueled by continuous questioning and doubt.  ...

“Culture” is a lifestyle that does not naturally accept or object to “reason.” The key is that you don’t pick “reason. ”  However, if someone asks “why?” to the passing-over phenomenon without any doubt, many things are revealed. Cultural products, organizational culture, art, community, and social matters kneel before this question. Ask yourself, “Why?”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
