This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
No individuals achieve greatness merely by improving their weaknesses; on the contrary, many become great despite their disadvantages. Despite their shortcomings, achieving greatness results from focusing on core strengths. Emphasizing strengths can be a more effective approach than simply managing weaknesses. However, individuals with fewer foundational skills often view the lack of basic skills as a weakness; this perception is an illusion. Those without a solid foundation struggle to understand their weaknesses or strengths, making any effort seem pointless. Return to the fundamentals. If a professional manager cannot comprehend financial balance sheets, it would be like watching a circus for blind management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
