Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Don’t give advice recklessly. Only offer it to those who can truly listen. When someone who hears advice chooses to ignore it, it signifies that they are dismissing the adviser and will rely only on their own judgment. While behavior remains unchanged, asserting that they can understand the advice also reflects an attitude that undermines the adviser’s personality. The lack of behavioral change indicates that the person did not grasp the advice. Advice holds greater power for the listener than for the adviser. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
