Just my thoughts #0606

No matter how smart you are, if you don’t exchange values, you’ll starve to death. For one thing, being self-sufficient enables survival, but self-sufficiency is only possible if you have your own assets and can borrow from others. However, even with existing assets, one can only survive through minimal labor and effort, which means engaging in productive activities. Thus, having great intelligence and applying that intelligence to productive activities are two different things. Even if you aren’t brilliant, you can survive if you are productive. It’s essential to identify the productive activities in which I excel and those where I need improvement. If I understand that, I must act without looking back. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In this era, the credibility of the messenger is more important than the content of the marketing message . This means that who said what and who delivered the message are more influential and important. Therefore, rather than merely trying to convey something, it is necessary to establish who the messenger is and to build trust with the public . Thus, defining identity comes first, followed by the sincerity to constantly inform others. Then, people may believe anything, even if it’s a lie, but you must not tell lies. Who we are, what we do, and why we do this, no matter how small, must be communicated with faithfulness and persistence. Don’t try to convince the public; you have to build relationships in order to establish trust with people. The most important factor in forming a relationship is my identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The philosopher Aristotle stated, “ We are what we repeatedly do . Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit .” If the repetition of an action is a ‘habit,’ then this ‘habit’ emphasizes the connection between the actions. For instance, if you consistently drink coffee after a meal, it suggests that the preceding ‘meal’ holds more significance than the coffee. In contrast, the connection of coffee following that meal is essential. Even if you cannot drink coffee, you can survive; however, if you cannot eat, your survival is at risk. Meals are important, and they take precedence over coffee. In other words, for an action to be repeated, the persistence and repeatability vary based on the priority of the actions that occur before and after the habit. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

An effort is not meaningless in itself, but it does not guarantee progress. Instead, progress is a result of time. Effort leads to progress over time. At this point, there’s a premise: time-flow! Some things can only be seen with age. The passage of time transforms both the world and myself. I simply need to make an effort to adapt to the world’s changes. After all, effort equates to persistence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some businesses, such as education or fitness, can succeed if only the number of aspirants increases steadily. In a business that provides a service that acquires and develops, making new customers continue without giving up determines the business’s success or failure. No matter how hard you promote, if you do not create the persistence of the aspirants, passion, and effort will lead to damage. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
