The basis for judging whether a person’s life can truly change lies in observing how someone continues to engage in meaningful activities every day, regularly and consistently. What matters is that the person does not stop doing a lot of work at once, but instead continues steadily every day, even if the efforts are small. Lao-tzu said, “Nature doesn’t rush. But it has been accomplishing everything.” If you want to be healthy, you can engage in small but consistent exercise each day. If you want to build wealth, you can pursue small production and investment activities daily. If you want to be smart, you can read or study even a small amount each day. Life consists of both simple-interest life and compound-interest life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
We cannot drink water while being immersed in it for survival. Without assistance from the air, it is impossible to drink water. Water is a vital substance for humans, but its intake is only possible when air acts as a medium. What I possess and how I utilize it are very different matters. The same goes for relationships. What brings happiness in a relationship is more important than how close the relationship is. For humans, many situations are pointless if values exist in only one state. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
