Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

People often say that as one gets older, time passes more quickly , while in youth, time seems to move more slowly . The reason individuals feel that time goes by more slowly when they are young is likely due to a decline in memory . As children, people have limited experience, so everything feels new, and they tend to remember new things well. Having less experience translates to fewer memories. Because there are so many new memories, children perceive time as passing slowly. However, as people age, experience accumulates, and they typically become better at predicting situations, making it easier to cope, resulting in fewer surprises. Since these experiences are not exceptional, they tend to forget them, and when reflecting on the past, there’s little to recall, creating the sensation that time flies. Among the aspects of aging, what is scarier than the decline of the senses is the deterioration of expectations . If the flavor of food becomes predictable based on accumulated experie...

Understanding what one belongs to is knowledge derived from personal experience. In fact, the experiences of others can provide a more accurate understanding of your place in the world. A third-party perspective is crucial for problem-solving . The viewpoint and position of an outsider, rather than my own, enable me to comprehend my situation most objectively. A solution lacking objectivity is likely to lead to the repetition of problems and may render them unsolvable forever. When I ascend the mountain and gaze down at the town I live in, I notice things I’ve never seen before. Significant progress occurs when a third-party perspective is applied. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

As every person has a platform on social media, companies aim to allow customers to engage with their products or services. Offering experiential opportunities has gained significance; however, just because customers have experiences doesn’t mean they will share them. A crucial aspect is whether that experience becomes a lasting memory. It’s important to recognize that experience and memory are distinct concepts, and one must consider how to convert an experience into a meaningful memory. Essentially, experiences become memories when customers can fully express themselves during those moments. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

What defines an elite? Is it someone who has studied a lot and done well? Is it someone who has a lot of experience? If so, is it someone who has a lousy personality despite having prominent abilities? The word elite comes from “meritocracy.” People who have worked harder than others and won the competition believe they should receive more benefits. Excessive meritocracy harms the common good. “If you’re envious and regretful, you do so too! Can’t you do that?” stems from the misguided belief that one’s success and victories are solely due to one’s own efforts. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Experience should not serve as a constraint that confines individuals to their past; instead, it should act as a foundation for future endeavors. While successful experiences can instill confidence, they may simultaneously restrict one’s thoughts and actions, leading to potential lapses in judgment. It is noteworthy that my achievements may not have solely stemmed from my abilities but could have been attributed to fortuitous circumstances, often arising from the missteps of others. A valuable experience should not foster arrogance or dismiss the fallibility of unwavering self-assurance and disregard for alternative perspectives. To mitigate the risk of failure, one must cultivate humility. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans are bound by their experiences. The extent and depth of these experiences shape how time is perceived by individuals. Recognition occurs within a person’s unique time framework, which is distinct from physical time. Even sharing the same age, individuals experience time differently. In the absence of challenges, the scope of one’s experiences remains constrained, leading to a limited perception of time. Imagination draws from experience, broadening only through facing challenges and making attempts. Observing and immersing oneself in various experiences, such as travel, becomes valuable forms of learning that don’t require a teacher. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Although the ratios differ, human success results from many factors such as intelligence, experience, knowledge, attitude, integrity, and luck. Of these, self-development theory emphasizes only a few factors with a powerful influence. As in all cases, the causes of success are different. So when learning success stories, you need to know the pitfalls. It may be like a successful person, but it never becomes the same. References should be made, however, to suit my situation. Therefore, it is important to know your identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It's not a generation, it's a world. The older generation thinks that Gen MZ is a different generation, but when you look deeper, you realize that the world has changed, not the generation. The older generation thinks that the offline world is more experiential and tangible, and the MZ generation is more familiar with the online world, so they regard it as a non-experiential generation because they are more indirect in human relationships and understand the offline world mainly through information. However, try going to an online shopping mall site. Suppose you want to choose clothes on a fashion site. In that case, there is nothing more real and experiential shopping than others, because not only do they display detailed fabric information and sizes, but they also have good photos of the information you can see, and even reviews from users who have already bought it. Who can do detailed and specific shopping in an offline shopping mall like this? In fact, the electronic world ...
