It is said that to succeed in life or business, you need to judge people well. So, how can we accurately assess others? Instead of focusing solely on the individual, consider their environment. Isn’t it often said that you can gauge a person by their friends? Another useful indicator is their financial disposition—the tendency to spend rather than earn. Attitude toward spending money reveals a significant, if not the most important, part of their character. By examining the environment around the person, it becomes easier to understand their true nature. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One characteristic of the wealthy individuals I have met so far is that they complete their work on time, rather than merely finishing tasks by the deadline. Being on time for a task involves calculating the necessary amount of time in advance based on the task’s size and nature, then striving to complete it within that timeframe. In contrast, finishing work at the last minute means postponing tasks until the deadline looms. The habit of delaying work is referred to as ‘ procrastination ’ in psychology; it’s associated with perfectionism or the tendency to derive greater satisfaction from concentrating energy on tasks as the deadline approaches. Anxiety underlies this behavior, and it proves to be entirely counterproductive in any case. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
