I advised a CEO to read books regularly. But he said he didn’t even have time for reading because of his business. I didn’t tell him to read a lot; I only suggested that he do it on a regular basis. It’s not easy to start with a large amount, but it’s easy to give up or refuse to continue. Still, doing a small amount consistently is also difficult, but the goal is to build a habit. Reading is an extension of management activities that managers must do, not because they have time to spare, but because neglecting it can harm management by limiting their knowledge of the world and others’ experiences. Of course, reading doesn’t guarantee success or prevent failure. However, there’s no doubt that it’s the most fundamental activity that can help individuals grow and organizations thrive through the knowledge and experience gained from reading. A fool fills 100% of his life experience. A wise man fills it with 1% inspiration, 29% reading, and 70% implementation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The world grants power through the interpretation of phenomena , gaining support from many people. Acquiring power through interpretation is termed “interpretation supremacy.” Interpretation involves explaining and understanding the essential concepts that are often concealed in a phenomenon, yet are crucial to its existence. The media has embraced journalism for its capacity to rapidly disseminate facts to a broad audience. Journalism embodies interpretive supremacy. To make an impact in the world, I must be able to express myself and my actions in an engaging and accessible manner, leveraging various media to share my interpretations. With the prevalence of social media , all that is required now is the skill to interpret and seize interpretive supremacy, along with the capability to articulate it effectively. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
