Showing posts with the label sincerity

Israeli Kindergarten. Dual-income couples often arrived late to pick up their children. As a result, the kindergarten implemented a rule that parents would face a fine if they were late; however, even though this introduced a penalty system, it also led to more delays in pickup times. By replacing feelings of guilt with money, paying a fee for being late became the new norm. After recognizing the mistake and removing the fine system, what happened? More parents started arriving late. When money becomes involved, the exchange of value fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship. And once that change occurs, it doesn’t revert. - 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 more startups you have, the more you need to learn and practice. Many startups avoid learning because they are busy and have a lot of work. Knowledge determines structure, and managing is the process of building that structure. However, to create that structure, they do not make the effort to acquire knowledge. Just as you must eat bread one bite at a time, even when you have plenty, sincerity will gradually and steadily lead to knowledge and the establishment of structure. It is important to remember that the consequences can be severe if you neglect a bit of sincerity due to feeling overwhelmed by your environment and circumstances. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A part-time worker at a fast-food chain put in a lot of effort. The worker’s dedication impressed the boss, leading to the firing of other part-timers and an increase in trust placed in this worker. As a result, the worker ended up with significantly more responsibilities while keeping the same salary. I reiterate that structure is more important than mere effort. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The true opposite of conscientiousness isn’t laziness; it’s hastiness. If integrity is defined by consistency, then laziness contrasts with integrity. However, if we emphasize completion and a meticulous, persevering approach, then impatience and careless actions can undermine everything. Think about your own perspective. Which definition resonates with you more? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The breath that continues every moment becomes our life. Our breaths are always sincere. Sincerity is our burden. However, no one considers the breath a burden. To live, we must persist. The paradox is this: if the burden is light, we can ignore it and feel we don't have a reason to continue. It is a weakness of small integrity. To live a better life, we have to do something small every day that's even small, but not burdensome, like breathing. Pretend to be fooled, but believe me just once. Life will change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
