Optimization: Adjusting something to reach its best state for a specific purpose. We often think that the fastest and strongest options are the best. The fastest way down a slope isn’t a straight line, but a parabola that naturally connects high and low points. A sniper can cause more lethal wounds at 400 meters than at 200 meters. Although the bullet travels faster at 200 meters, the wound size isn’t as large, and at 400 meters, the slower-moving bullet over a longer distance causes more friction as it passes through the wound, resulting in more severe injuries. In every situation, there is an optimal choice suited to the goal. Trial and error are useful for finding this optimization. - 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”
