A ‘transaction’ is an act of debt between parties. The seller owes goods to the buyer (performance debt), and the buyer owes money to the seller (monetary debt). A transaction is considered complete when the debt is settled and the promise to owe each other is called a ‘contract.’ Thus, a good trader or businessman excels at making and repaying debts. When it comes to debt, the type of debt matters. Anyone who misjudges this should not engage in business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

People fall due to stubbornness rather than a lack of intelligence. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll succeed simply by letting go of stubbornness. Failure and success follow different formulas. These two subjects belong to different dimensions and involve distinct elements and processes. Still, baseless stubbornness is an issue worth considering. Because of this stubbornness, not only does one suffer, but others also experience harm. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truly intelligent individual embraces new perspectives, information, ideas, contradictions, and challenges to existing beliefs. If you lack a foundational understanding despite having extensive knowledge, this knowledge may lead to misunderstandings or an inability to connect concepts, ultimately reinforcing stubbornness. As assumptions, facts, and circumstances evolve, it is prudent to adapt swiftly. This quality is known as “Intellectual Humility.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A heart’s wound heals not through will but through chance. If we fixate on our lingering emotions and pain, we will endure even greater suffering until we encounter that chance. Emptying our minds isn’t just a trendy idea; it’s essential, as clinging to stubbornness leads to futility. I realized this truth after overcoming my stubbornness, which ultimately brought me far more happiness and joy than regret by freeing myself from it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The "problem" does not suddenly appear, but as a result of accumulating some serial accidents for a long time, this is the essence of the problem. However, the person who wants to solve the problem seeks to clarify it with just one stroke. That's egoism and contradiction. Such a person likes to listen to someone else's ear candy or wants to eat a piece of cake in someone else's greedy mouth. And because the person pours out the accusations and grumblings from the mouth, good people leave the side of this person. The stubbornness of staying unchangeable and comfortable makes greed easier than what is to be coveted something. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
