Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

If only interest is applied to the principal, it is ‘simple interest,’ and if interest is applied to the principal including former interest, it is ‘compound interest.’ There are people who make money through simple interest and through compound interest. The same goes for spending money. The difference between simple interest and compound interest can create an unimaginable impact over time. Time is treated fairly for everyone, but if compound interest intervenes in the uniform application of time, the results of compound interest will vary greatly, even after the same duration has passed. Being poor also has a cost, which is paid by compound interest. If you want to be wealthy, you must earn compound interest, not simple interest. The best way to achieve this continuously is to engage in small but regular actions every day, whether it’s investing in stocks or acquiring knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The more startups you have, the more you need to learn and practice. Many startups avoid learning because they are busy and have a lot of work. Knowledge determines structure, and managing is the process of building that structure. However, to create that structure, they do not make the effort to acquire knowledge. Just as you must eat bread one bite at a time, even when you have plenty, sincerity will gradually and steadily lead to knowledge and the establishment of structure. It is important to remember that the consequences can be severe if you neglect a bit of sincerity due to feeling overwhelmed by your environment and circumstances. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Text and images emerge from thoughts. Although the thought is ‘abstract,’ the text and images are ‘conceived.’ In transforming abstraction into conception, we genuinely realize reason and ultimately awaken knowledge. We cannot comprehend something if we merely see and hear. We don’t write because we know it; rather, we come to know through writing. Design doesn’t originate from good ideas but stems from validating thoughts through ample inspiration. Just as skillful typing doesn’t guarantee good writing, proficiently using drawing software doesn’t ensure good design. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

As Ernst Gombrich stated, humans do not draw what they see, but rather what they know. They identify differences and interpret them as new based on the patterns embedded in their existing knowledge systems. Therefore, prior knowledge plays a crucial role in accepting new information. Humans do not truly feel or understand what they observe; instead, they feel and perceive only to the extent of their knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There are two kinds of knowledge in the world. The knowledge I can explain, and understand I know but cannot explain. To explain it to others, you must see the essence of that knowledge. The knowledge that others cannot understand means that the person describing it does not know its nature. So the secretary becomes wise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Although the ratios differ, human success results from many factors such as intelligence, experience, knowledge, attitude, integrity, and luck. Of these, self-development theory emphasizes only a few factors with a powerful influence. As in all cases, the causes of success are different. So when learning success stories, you need to know the pitfalls. It may be like a successful person, but it never becomes the same. References should be made, however, to suit my situation. Therefore, it is important to know your identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
