If God granted me only one ability to become wealthy, I would not hesitate to ask for the skill of ‘storytelling.’ ‘Storytelling’ is the ability to choose how to interpret the same phenomenon or fact and how to communicate the message I want to convey persuasively. Ultimately, the world takes sides and gains support through the interpretation and explanation of stories. Gaining attention and support from people is the foundation for achieving a lot from nothing. In a time when there was no modern media, the most popular people were grandmothers and grandfathers who could tell entertaining oral stories every night before bed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
To achieve what humans desire, they must first tackle the tasks they are reluctant to face. If you wish to live simply, you need to organize the chaotic and complex aspects of life. It’s akin to cooking, even when it feels bothersome, to enjoy a delicious meal. Yet, we often prefer to eat only what others have prepared. If you solely seek comfort and immediate gratification, you’ll depend only on luck and chance. Some people aren’t familiar with the concept of earning their due, even when the price is offered, and it can understandably be challenging to compensate the right person. These individuals often act as if they don’t own a car, merely waiting for a bus. It’s better to have a car owner who can drive them wherever and whenever they desire, even if driving involves hard work, rather than simply waiting for a ride. Taking initiative in life is a privilege reserved for those willing to endure inconvenience and who can afford to pay the price. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
