Joy and resentment are emotions, but they carry energy. That energy greatly influences my life. The lesson adults teach about not making enemies is based on their own experience of that influence. When we go to court, we often see many people there because they harbor resentment, whether in civil or criminal cases. That demonstrates the power and impact of resentment. Ignoring emotions will eventually have consequences. Don’t make enemies; instead, always choose to share joy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The most common excuse for people who can’t save money is that they don’t have enough to spend. This is true, but it is also unacceptable. You don’t have enough to spend because you’ve pulled your future income into the present and spent it in advance. Taking a loan , getting an investment , and using a credit card all share one thing in common: they move future time into the present. There can be no investment that ignores the effect of time and no money management that does not consider time. Discounting the future means that there is no present income; instead, future income is drawn into the present and used. There is only one way out of this trap. Currently, the only way to reduce expenditure is through frugality . After that, you can only increase your income . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Making money is far more addictive than spending it. Once you earn money, the pathway to creating more becomes clear. If you try that method and succeed again, then money-making becomes a religion beyond mere addiction. When this method is experienced as an accomplishment, one must remember that the purpose and core motivations suddenly shift from their original intent, leading to corruption. Addiction knows no distinction between good and evil and disregards the line between the sacred and the secular. Be cautious of becoming addicted to seemingly good things. Anyone with a firm conviction of good and evil should always raise concerns. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
