There exist two categories of leaders: those who prioritize individuals and those who prioritize circumstances. Which category do you fall into? Leaders who prioritize circumstances may easily overlook the needs of individuals, driven by an underlying fear of adverse outcomes impacting them. Ultimately, those who favor circumstances above individuals exhibit a tendency to prioritize self-protection over the welfare of those they lead. In contrast, leaders who prioritize individuals, even amidst challenging situations, demonstrate the qualities of exemplary leadership. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Fragrances that only capture pleasant scents lack appeal. A combination of bad scents is necessary to create a pleasing aroma. Just having good elements doesn’t ensure quality, and similarly, having bad elements isn’t necessarily negative. This concept is referred to as “bistability.” Emotions operate comparably. If you laugh in any situation, people may perceive you as a psychopath. On the other hand, being treated as depressed when feeling down is common too. Yet, when the contrast between mania and depression is too pronounced, mental health suffers. It’s essential to develop both positive and negative emotions. Like a beautiful landscape where good and bad elements coexist and balance one another, emotions should reflect a similar harmony. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
