Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Some people are poor but live with a rich mind, while others are rich yet live with a poor mindset. Poverty compounded costs, and wealth compounded profits. All of them operate on the principle of compound interest. Poverty costs a lot. So, what’s the difference between a rich mind and a poor mind? Their attitude toward time varies significantly. Not everyone, but when a poor person suddenly becomes rich, they still pay the cost of poverty. The most common form is installments. Thus, even if people are rich, they often live with a poor mindset, sometimes thinking of it as savings. Even if you are poor, you can live with a rich mind, which increases your chances of getting wealthy. Debt pulls the future into the present. Drawing the future ahead of time makes people slaves. They say they are slaves of money, but in reality, they are slaves of time. If you gradually change the habit of bringing future time into the present, your attitude will shift, and your behavior will change. We want...

If we don’t have something, we often think we don’t have it at all. However, even when we possess nothing, we fail to check if someone around us has something, and we simply give up. If someone nearby lacks it, we give up immediately. We struggle to identify the next person around us, don’t inquire about introductions, and we lack the courage to reach out. In difficult situations, we see only the fact that we have nothing substantial and can’t contemplate anything beyond that. No, we don’t even attempt to change our mindset. People falter not because they lack resources, but because they don’t think or have the courage. Even though we should live with wisdom instead of just hard work, we often labor tirelessly but without insight. This leads to more downfall; it feels like choosing to perish. Doing our best doesn’t equate to merely working hard. We strive for achievement yet work diligently without being wise. Consequently, we find ourselves falling again. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

To achieve your goals, your will and attitude must change accordingly. For instance, if you set a goal to become wealthy, your mindset, attitude, and actions must also align with that goal. The consequences of our actions ultimately shape our lives. Simply understanding something does not lead to change. Those who genuinely want to change their behavior will do so. Before you reach your goal, your will and attitude must adjust to support that direction. Life is a genuine battlefield. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Japan Airlines that no one thought would ever recover. It was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in Japan. When Kyocera Group Chairman Emeritus Kazuo Inamori took the helm to save Japan Airlines, his priority was to reform the mindset of the employees. Whenever he could, he gathered all employees for lectures on mental reform, and executives were required to attend a separate lecture on mental reform given by Kazuo Inamori every Thursday without exception. The employees' frustration was palpable, but the company returned to the stock market after two years and eight months. There is no magic in running a company. Attitude and mindset are everything. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
