There comes a point when humans can’t earn money from their labor. Whether it’s because we’re old enough to retire or we’re unable to work due to a disability, it’s simply a matter of timing, and the moment we must stop earning from our work has already been determined. That’s why we need to choose to become either investors or unemployed someday. Then, it’s beneficial to understand and actually practice investing while we are able to work. Working hard is good, but how we live our lives is more important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Babies who are only six months old cannot walk. However, with a bit of training, this baby can swim in the water . Just because the baby can’t walk doesn’t mean the baby can’t swim. All humans are born in amniotic fluid in their mother’s womb when they are fetuses . It is normal for a 6-month-old baby to be unable to walk. Yet, the idea that the baby can’t even swim is a prejudice. Our stereotypes stem from taking things for granted. Imagination begins by doubting the obvious. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Only ‘things you know wrong’ are considered stereotypes, but ‘things you know for sure’ can also be stereotypes. With knowledge, it is easy to say ‘wrong-RIGHT-words.’ However, there is no “right answer” in the world. There are many ‘answers’ to one problem, and we often have difficulty finding an answer among them. Stereotypes do not discriminate between ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ Stereotypes, in themselves, only imprison our thoughts. Trapped thinking finds only limited answers. Perhaps you can’t find it forever. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
