Just my thoughts #0721

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”

I believe Maslow’s “Theory of Needs” is a brilliant concept. Humans exhibit different behaviors based on their needs, prioritize satisfaction, and seek fulfillment at higher levels. This theory can also explain why artists often struggle financially. While art is not a necessity for daily life, it is an essential component of a fulfilling existence. However, it holds a high position in the hierarchy of needs, resulting in a small number of very famous artists accumulating substantial wealth within the art market. By analyzing people’s actions based on their needs, one can roughly predict the marketability and sustainability of their professions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

You probably think that your ability can determine your competitiveness. So you might think that ability should be important in professions. Then think about it. When you're working, if there's a person next to you who has the best ability, you might give up your job for that person. The essence of occupation is competition and ignorance. These two properties will tell you that there is still something to challenge and achieve in your life. But if you acknowledge reality accurately, you will wander your way. If you consider more, you will realize that the driving forces of challenge and achievement have belonged to the "ignorance of competition." - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
