If thinking is categorized practically, it can be broadly split into ‘volitional thinking’ and ‘instrumental thinking.’ Volitional thinking involves the belief that to succeed, a person must have a strong will to overcome hardships and obstacles. Self-improvement falls under this category. However, to actually overcome hardships and obstacles, it is instrumental thinking that drives us to consider that we need ‘tools’ to get past them. In other words, it’s like how carpenters build houses: they construct the structure, but tools are what make it possible. There is no carpenter without tools. Both are essential for success, but if I had to emphasize one, focusing on instrumental thinking is more advantageous. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
It doesn’t make it sell well; it’s about choosing and focusing on what has sold well. You can expect it to sell well, but you can’t predict that it will sell well. Conversely, it’s much wiser to put it on the market to see if it genuinely sells well while holding your expectations, and then discard it if it doesn’t sell, focusing only on what does sell well and developing it further. Thoughts are crucial, but they don’t create any wealth. Market choices create wealth. Start small and try to manage your risk. Don’t gamble; instead, verify. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
