Weakness is merely another expression of strength and represents a phenomenon where the same attribute manifests in different forms. In other words, the concept of “weak or strong” resembles both ends of a seesaw; when one side goes down, the other always rises. When an issue arises in one muscle of the body, the surrounding muscles take over that role, or several muscles work together to compensate for the weakness. Rather than focusing solely on the end of the seesaw that has dropped, one should also acknowledge the opposing side that has risen as a result. Weakness and strength are states of being, not conclusions or outcomes. The same applies to successes and failures. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truly great leader does not believe he is perfect, nor does he need to be. In fact, recognizing his imperfections allows him to connect with others and fosters humility, which helps him collaborate effectively with colleagues. Rather than achieving remarkable successes alone within the organization, a leader who strives to thrive alongside his team— even if progress is slower— cultivates a more cohesive organization. Ultimately, this approach strengthens the organizational culture, empowering it to withstand crises. People cannot excel at everything, nor do they need to. Recognizing this reality is a key aspect of effective leadership. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

For humans, humility begins with the understanding that we cannot know the future. If you encounter misfortune now yet believe that good fortune will arrive in a few days, you will not be disheartened during difficult times. Conversely, if you are fortunate now but are aware that misfortune will strike soon, you will not become arrogant. Thus, humility involves preparing for an uncertain future. Being humble doesn’t mean you avoid misfortunes altogether; nevertheless, your possibilities of navigating them successfully statistically improve. Knowing the future is not necessarily an advantage in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

While your efforts may have been sincere, claiming success due to those efforts is misleading. The Law of Equivalent Exchange suggests that behind my achievements lie the sacrifices of others, known or unknown to me. We should approach discussions of success with humility and avoid glorification. Neglecting the Law of Equivalent Exchange often leads to the onset of corruption. When considering the sacrifices made by others, we ought to refrain from celebrating our successes based solely on our dedication and hard work. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Ignorance of rest at proper times is not a healthy passion. Compulsory awareness of rest reflects genuine humility and wisdom, especially when we cannot take time off, even during our free time. Taking a rest without self-control or believing that a break will worsen the problem is also a serious issue, akin to a severe disease. Appropriate rest serves as a diagnostic criterion for determining whether our daily routines are healthy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Both arrogance and humility can contribute to our success. While humility is not the sole key to achievement, it enables a connection with someone who genuinely cares. That individual may represent everything I need in life. Ultimately, success can be seen as cultivating a deep bond with the person who truly loves you. If you can nurture multiple meaningful relationships throughout your journey, beyond that loving individual, you should regard yourself as blessed with humility. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
